store or use gasoline or other flammable
vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any appliance.
Warnings
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.
• If appliance is installed near a window, proper precautions should be taken to prevent curtains from blowing over burners.
•
NEVER
leave any items on the rangetop. The hot air from the vent may ignite flammable items and may increase pressure in closed
containers which may cause them to burst.
• 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.
DO NOT
leave
plastic items on the rangetop as they may melt or soften if left too close to the vent or a lighted surface burner.
• 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.
•
Cooktop:
Smother fire or flame in a pan with a lid or cookie sheet.
• NEVER
pick up or move a flaming pan.
• Oven:
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.
DO NOT
use water on grease fires. Flaming grease can be
extinguished with baking soda or, if available, a multipurpose dry chemical or foam type extinguisher. 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
• 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 must be taught that the appliance and utensils in it can be hot. Let hot utensils cool in a safe place, out of reach of small
children. 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
• To eliminate the hazard of reaching over hot surface burners, cabinet storage should not be provided directly above a unit. 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.
•
ALWAYS
place a pan on a surface burner before turning it on. Be sure you know which knob controls which surface burner. Make sure
the correct burner is turned on and that the burner has ignited. When cooking is completed, turn burner off before removing pan to
prevent exposure to burner flame.
•
ALWAYS
adjust surface burner flame so that it does not extend beyond the bottom edge of the pan. An excessive flame is hazardous,
wastes energy and may damage the appliance, pan or cabinets above the appliance. This is based on safety considerations.
• NEVER
leave a surface cooking operation unattended especially when using a high heat setting or when deep fat frying. Boilovers
cause smoking and greasy spillovers may ignite. Clean up greasy spills as soon as possible.
DO NOT
use high heat for extended
cooking operations.
• DO NOT
heat unopened food containers, build up of pressure may cause the container to explode and result in injury.
• 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 trail across hot surface burners and ignite or get caught on appliance parts.
•
ALWAYS
let quantities of hot fat used for deep fat frying cool before attempting to move or handle.
•
DO NOT
let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate in or near the appliance, hood or vent fan. Clean hood frequently
to prevent grease from accumulating on hood or filter. When flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan off.
•
NEVER
wear garments made of flammable material or loose fitting or long-sleeved apparel while cooking. Clothing may ignite or catch
utensil handles.
DO NOT
drape towels or materials on oven door handles. These items could ignite and cause burns.
