POISONING HAZARD
Never cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven bottom
or cover an entire rack or the oven floor with materials such
as aluminium foil. Doing so blocks airflow through the oven
and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminium foil
linings may also trap excess heat, creating a fire hazard.
Clean the appliance with caution. Protect against steam burns when wiping
up spills on a hot cooking area with a wet sponge or cloth. Some cleaners
can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface. Follow the directions
of the cleaner manufacturer.
Never use this appliance as a space heater to heat or warm
the room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning
resulting in injury or death and overheating of the appliance.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS ADVICE MAY RESULT IN
POISONING OR DEATH.
HOT SURFACE HAZARD
All parts of the range may become hot during use. Do not
touch burners, burner surrounds, the grill, griddle, grease
trap, heating elements or interior surface of the oven when
in operation - these may be hot enough to cause burns even
though they are dark in colour.
During and after use do not touch or let clothing or other flammable materials
contact these parts and surfaces until they have had sufficient time to cool.
Other parts and surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to cause
burns - among these areas are the grates, back trim and oven vents at the
back of the cooktop, the front and side edges and surfaces adjacent to the
cooktop and the oven door.
Use only dry pot-holder - moist or damp pot-holders on hot surfaces may
result in burns from steam. Do not let pot-holder touch hot heating elements.
Do not use a towel or other bulky material as a pot-holder.
Let hot grease cool before attempting to handle it.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS ADVICE MAY RESULT IN
BURNS AND SCALDS.
