IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
ENGLISH
CAUTION
•
To prevent burns, always be sure that the controls for all burners are in the Off position
and all grates are cool before attempting to remove them.
•
If you smell gas, turn off the gas to the range and call a qualified service technician.
Never use an open flame to locate a leak.
•
Always turn the knobs to the Off position before removing cookware.
•
Do not lift the cooktop. Lifting the cooktop can cause damage and improper operation
of the range.
•
If the range is located near a window, do not hang long curtains that could blow over
the surface burners and catch on fire.
•
Use care when cleaning the cooktop. The pointed metal ends on the electrodes could
cause injury.
BROILER
Always use a broiler pan and a grid for excess fat and grease drainage. This will help to
reduce splatter, smoke, and flare-ups.
WARNING
When using your broiler, the temperature inside the oven will be extremely high. Take
caution to avoid possible burns by:
•
Keeping the door closed when broiling (refer to Broil section of the manual)
•
Always wearing oven mitts when inserting or removing food items
COOK MEAT AND POULTRY THOROUGHLY
To protect against food-borne illnesses, cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at least an
INTERNAL temperature of 160 °F, poultry to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 165 °F and
beef, pork, veal & lamb steaks & chops to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 145 °F.
SELF-CLEANING OVEN
Make sure to wipe off excess spillage before operating the Self Clean function.
CAUTION
•
Do not leave food, broiler trays, cooking utensils, racks, etc. in the oven during the self
clean cycle.
•
Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating
of any kind should be used in or around any part of the oven. Residue from oven
cleaners will damage the inside of the oven when the self clean cycle is used.
•
Remove oven racks and other items from oven before starting the self clean cycle.
•
Only clean the parts listed in this manual.
•
Do not manually clean the door gasket. The door gasket is necessary for a good seal.
Care should be taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket.
•
If the self cleaning mode malfunctions, turn the range off and disconnect the power
supply. Have it serviced by a qualified technician.
•
It is normal for parts of the oven to become hot during a Self Clean cycle.
•
Avoid touching the door, window or oven vent area during a Self Clean cycle.
