SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up
a flaming pan. Turn the controls off. Smother a
flaming pan on a surface burner by covering the
pan completely with a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet
or flat tray. If necessary, use a multi-purpose dry
chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
If there is a fire in the oven during baking, turn
the oven off and keep the door closed until the
fire goes out. If necessary, use a multi-purpose
dry chemical or foam type fire extinguisher.
If there is a fire in the oven during self-clean, turn
the oven off and wait for the fire to go out. Do
not force the door open. Introduction of fresh air
at self-clean temperatures may lead to a burst
of flame from the oven. Failure to follow this
instruction may result in severe burns.
Never leave the surface burners unattended at
medium or high heat settings. Foods, especially
oily foods, may ignite resulting in fire that could
spread to surrounding cabinets.
Never leave oil unattended while frying. If allowed
to heat beyond its smoking point, oil may ignite
resulting in fire that may spread to surrounding
cabinets. Use a deep fat thermometer whenever
possible to monitor oil temperature.
To avoid oil spillover and fire, use a minimum
amount of oil when shallow pan-frying and avoid
cooking frozen foods with excessive amounts of
ice.
Use proper pan size and avoid pans that are
unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware that is
matched to the size of the burner. Burner flames
should be adjusted so that they do not extend
beyond the bottom of the pan. Excessive flame
may be hazardous.
Always use the LITE position when igniting the
top burners and make sure the burners have
ignited.
When using glass/ceramic cookware, make sure
it is suitable for cooktop service; others may
break because of sudden change in temperature.
To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of
flammable materials and spillage, the handle of a
container should be turned toward the center of
the range without extending over nearby burners.
When preparing flaming foods under a hood, turn
the fan on.
Do not use a wok with a round metal support
ring. The ring may trap heat and block air to the
burner resulting in a carbon monoxide hazard.
Do not attempt to lift the cooktop. Doing so may
damage the gas tubing to the surface burners
resulting in a gas leak and risk of fire.
When disabling Lock Control (on some models),
make sure the surface controls are set to the
OFF position. This will prevent unintended gas
flow from the burners.
Do not use aluminum foil to cover the grates or
line any part of the cooktop. Doing so may result
in carbon monoxide poisoning, overheating of the
cooktop surfaces, or a potential fire hazard.
