SAFETY PRACTICES AND PRECAUTIONS
■
Clean the cooktop with caution. Avoid steam burns; do not use a wet sponge or cloth to clean the cooktop while
it is hot. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface. Follow directions provided by the
cleaner manufacturer.
■
Be sure all the range and/or cooktop controls are turned off and the appliance is cool before using any type of
aerosol cleaner on or around the appliance. The chemical that produces the spraying action could, in the
presence of heat, ignite or cause metal parts to corrode.
■
Place oven racks in desired position while the oven is cool. If a rack must be moved while the oven is hot, do not
let the pot holders contact the hot interior lining of the oven.
■
Use care when opening the oven door; let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing foods.
■
Do not rub, damage, move or remove the door gasket. It is essential for a good seal during baking. Wash the
gasket with hot water only.
■
Clean the ventilator hood and filters above the range or cooktop frequently so grease from cooking vapors does
not accumulate on them. The filter can be cleaned in a dishwasher or DishDrawer. Follow directions provided
by ventilation manufacturer for cleaning.
■
Turn the ventilator “OFF” in case of fire or when intentionally “flaming” liquor or other spirits on the cooktop. The
blower, if in operation, could unsafely spread the flames.
■
DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion or ventilation air to the appliance. Be sure a fresh air supply is
available.
■
For safety reasons and to avoid damage to the appliance never sit, stand, or lean on the oven door or cooking
surface.
■
Service should only be done by authorized technicians. Technicians must disconnect the power supply before
servicing this appliance.
