To Prevent Fire or Smoke Damage
• Be sure all packing materials are removed from the appliance before
operating it.
• Keep area around appliance clear and free from combustible materials,
gasoline, and other flammable vapors and materials.
• Many aerosol-type spray cans are EXPLOSIVE when exposed to heat and may
be highly flammable. Avoid their use or storage near an appliance.
• Many plastics are vulnerable to heat. Keep plastics away from parts of the
appliance that may become warm or hot.
• Combustible items (paper, plastic, etc.) may ignite and metallic items may
become hot and cause burns.
DO NOT
pour spirits over hot foods.
DO
NOT
leave oven unsupervised when drying herbs, breads, mushrooms,
etc; fire hazard.
In Case of Fire
Turn off appliance and ventilating hood to avoid spreading the flame. Extinguish
flame then turn on hood to remove smoke and odor.
•
Smother fire or flame by closing the oven door.
DO NOT
use water on grease fires. Use baking soda, a dry chemical or foam-
type extinguisher to smother fire or flame.
• GREASE–Grease is flammable and should be handled carefully. Let fat
cool before attempting to handle it.
DO NOT
allow grease to collect
around the oven or in vents. Wipe up spillovers immediately.
Child Safety
• If storage is provided, it should be limited to items which are used infrequently
and which are safely stored in an area subjected to heat from an appliance.
Temperatures may be unsafe for some items, such as volatile liquids, cleaners
or aerosol sprays.
• NEVER
leave children alone or unsupervised near the appliance when it is in
use or is still hot.
• NEVER
allow children to sit or stand on any part of the appliance as they
could be injured or burned.
•
DO NOT
store items of interest to children over the unit. Children climbing
to reach items could be seriously injured.
• Children should be taught that an appliance is not a toy. Children should not
be allowed to play with controls or other parts of the appliance.
Cooking Safety
• Use dry, sturdy pot-holders. Damp pot-holders may cause burns from steam.
Dishtowels or other substitutes should
NEVER
be used as potholders
because they can get caught on appliance parts.
•
ALWAYS
let quantities of hot fat used for deep fat frying cool before
attempting to move or handle.
• Loose-fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while using the
appliance.
DO NOT
drape towels or materials on oven door handles. These
items could ignite and cause burns.
•
ALWAYS
place oven racks in the desired positions while oven is cool. Slide
oven rack out to add or remove food, using dry, sturdy pot-holders.
ALWAYS
avoid reaching into the oven to add or remove food. If a rack must
be moved while hot, use a dry pot-holder.
•
ALWAYS
turn the oven off at the end of cooking.
•
DO NOT
heat unopened food containers; buildup of pressure may cause
the container to explode and result in injury.
• Use care when opening the oven door. Let hot air or steam escape before
moving or replacing food.
•
NEVER
use aluminum foil to cover oven racks or oven bottom. This could
result in risk of electric shock, fire, or damage to the appliance. Use foil only
as directed in this guide.
•
PREPARED FOOD WARNING:
Follow food manufacturer's instructions. If a
plastic frozen food container and/or its cover distorts, warps, or is otherwise
damaged during cooking, immediately discard the food and its container. The
food could be contaminated.
• Once the unit has been installed as outlined in the Installation Instructions,
it is important that the fresh air supply is not obstructed. The use of a gas
cooking appliance results in the production of heat and moisture in the
room in which it is installed. Ensure that the kitchen is well-ventilated. Keep
natural venting holes open or install a mechanical ventilation device.
Prolonged or intensive use of the appliance may call for additional (such as
opening a window) or more effective ventilation (such as increasing the
level of a mechanical ventilation if present).
Burners
• NEVER
touch oven burners, areas near broiler and bake burner, or interior
surfaces of oven.
• Burners may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near burners
and interior surfaces of an oven may become hot enough to cause burns.
