Safety and warnings
Always disconnect power to appliance before any
type of servicing. Always turn pot handles to the side or back of the
range. Do not turn handles towards the area where
they are easily burned. Handles should not extend
over the adjacent burners.
Do not use abrasive or caustic cleaners or
detergents on this appliance. They may cause
permanent damage to the surface.
Use the range only for cooking tasks as outlined in
this manual. When using the range, do not touch the
grates, burner caps, burner bases, or any other
parts in proximity to the flame. These components
may be hot enough to cause burns.
When cooking, set the burner controls so that the
flame heats only the bottom of the utensil and does
not overlap at the sides of the utensil.
Use dry pot holders. Moist or damp pot holders on
hot surfaces may result in burns from steam
Utensils (pots and pans) that conduct heat slowly, i.e.
glass pots, should be used in conjunction with
burner flames at a low or medium setting.
Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.
Turn off all controls and wait for appliance parts to
cool down before touching them. Do not touch the
burner grates or surrounding areas until cool.
Do not heat unopened food containers.
Buildup of pressure may cause the container to
explode and result in injury.
Do not use water on grease fires.
During and after use, do not touch interior surfaces
of the oven until cool
Clean appliance with caution.
