Important safety information
Location safety
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, personal injuries, and/or death, obey the
following precautions.
•
This range is for indoor, household use only.
Do not install
the range in areas exposed to the
weather and/or water.
• Do not install
the range in a place which is
exposed to a strong draft.
•
Select a level, well-constructed floor that can support the range’s weight.
Synthetic flooring, such as linoleum, must withstand 180 °F (82 °C) temperatures
without shrinking, warping, or discoloring.
Do not install
the range directly over
interior kitchen carpeting unless a sheet of ¼ inch plywood or a similar insulator
is placed between the range and carpeting.
•
Select a location where a grounded, 3- prong outlet is easily accessible.
•
If the range is located near a window,
do not hang
long curtains or paper blinds
on that window.
•
For the range to ventilate properly, make sure the range’s vents are not blocked,
and that there is enough clearance at the top, back, sides, and underneath the
range. The vents allow the necessary exhaust for the range to operate properly
with correct combustion.
• Make sure
the wall coverings around the range can withstand heat up to 194 °F
(90 °C) generated by the range.
•
Cabinet storage above the surface of the range should be avoided. If cabinet
storage above the range is necessary: allow a minimum clearance of 40 inches
(102 cm) between the cooking surface and the bottom of cabinets; or install a
range hood that projects horizontally a minimum of 5 inches (12.7 cm) beyond
the bottom of the cabinets.
Cooktop safety
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, personal injuries, and/or death, obey the
following precautions.
• Make sure
all burners are off when not in use.
• Do not use
aluminium foil to line the grates or
any part of the cooktop.
• Do not leave
burners unattended on medium or
high heat settings.
•
Before igniting,
make sure
all burner caps are
properly in place and all burners are level.
•
Always use the LITE position when igniting the burners and make sure the
burners have ignited. If ignition fails, turn the knob to OFF and wait until the gas
has dissipated.
•
When you set a burner to simmer,
do not turn
the knob quickly. Make sure the
flame stays on.
• Do not
place any objects other than cookware on the cooktop.
•
This cooktop is designed to cook with a wok or wok ring attachment. If foods are
flamed, they should only be flamed under a ventilation hood that is on.
•
Before removing or changing cookware, turn off the burners.
•
Remove food and cookware immediately after cooking.
•
Before removing any parts of the burner for cleaning, make sure the range is off
and completely cool.
•
After cleaning the burner spreader,
make sure
it is completely dry before re-
assembling.
• Make sure
the spark mark on the dual burner spreader is placed beside the
electrode when it is assembled.
•
To avoid carbon monoxide poisoning,
do not pour
water into the cooktop well
while cleaning.
•
Select cookware that is designed for top-range cooking. Use cookware that is
large enough to cover the burner grates. Adjust the burner flames so that the
flames do not extend beyond the bottom of the cookware.
•
To avoid cookware discoloration, deformity, and/or carbon monoxide poisoning,
do not use
cookware that is exceedingly larger than the grate.
