EXPLOSION HAZARD
If you smell gas, do not use the appliance. Open a window or
door to allow gas to escape, then follow the instructions on
the
second page (“WARNING”) of this manual.
• Do not use water on grease fires. A violent explosion of steam may result.
• In case of range-top fire, turn all the burners off and smother the fire or
flame or use a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
• Do not heat unopened food containers such as cans. A build-up of pressure
may cause the container to burst and result in injury or death.
FIRE HAZARD
Never use your appliance for warming or heating the room
or house as this could cause personal injury or property
damage.
• Keep all combustible materials (e.g. wall coverings, curtains, drapes),
gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids away from the cooking
area at all times.
• Flammable materials should not be stored in the oven or near the cooktop.
• Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate in or
near the appliance.
• Do not hang any articles (e.g. dish towels) off the oven handle. Some
fabrics may ignite or melt from the heat.
• Never leave the cooktop burners unattended when in use - boilover causes
smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.
• Be sure all the controls are turned off and the appliance is cool before
using any type of aerosol cleaner on or around the appliance. Chemicals in
such cleaners could ignite in the presence of heat or cause metal parts to
corrode.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS ADVICE MAY RESULT IN
SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
