manual abstract
This will upset the cooking performance and can damage the finish of the oven or the range. When using the cooktop: DO NOT TOUCH THE BURNER GRATES OR THE IMMEDIATE SURROUNDING AREA. Areas adjacent to the burners may become hot enough to cause burns. Never leave the range unattended when using high flame settings. Boil overs cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite. More importantly, if the burner flames are smothered, unburned gas will escape into the room. See front of this manual, page 1 regarding gas leaks. Only certain types of glass, heatproof glass-ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for cooking on the range burners. This type of utensil may break with sudden temperature changes. Use only on low or medium heat settings according to the utensil manufacturer’s directions. DO NOT heat unopened food containers; a buildup of pressure may cause the container to burst. During cooking, set the burner control so that the flame heats only the bottom of the pan and does not extend beyond the bottom of the pan. Proper relationship of cookware to burner flame reduces safety risks. Avoid using high flame setting with a pan larger than the grate or with one that spans more than one burner, such as a griddle, for prolonged periods of time. This can result in poor combustion that generates harmful by-products. Use caution to insure that drafts like those from forced air vents or fans DO NOT blow flammable material toward the flames or push the flames so that they extend beyond the edges of the pot. Always use utensils that have flat bottoms large enough to cover the burner. The use of undersized utensils could expose a portion of the flame and may result in ignition of clothing. WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS, IN THE EVENT OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING: • Smother flames with a close-fitting lid, cookie sheet, or other metal tray, then turn off the gas burner or the electric element. Be careful to prevent burns. If the flames do not go out immediately, Evacuate and call the fire department. • Never pick up a flaming pan — You may be burned. • DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dish cloths or towels — a violent steam explosion will result. • Use an extinguisher only if: • You know you have a class ABC extinguisher and you already know how to operate it. • The fire is small and contained in the area where it started. • The fire department is being called. • You can fight the fire with your back to an exit. WARNING: NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating of the oven. English 4 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Read and Save These Instructions Bakeware, such as large casserole pans, cookie sheets, DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion or ventilation air. etc., should never be used on the cooktop. To minimize the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials and unintentional spillage, position handles of utensils inward so they do not extend over adjacent work areas, cooking areas, or the edge of the range's cooktop. Hold the handle of the pan to prevent movement of the utensil when stirring or turning food. DO NOT use pots or pans on the grill plate accessory. DO NOT use the grill plate accessory for cooking excessively fatty meats or products which promote flare- ups. The optional cutting board accessory must be removed before operating the griddle beneath it or burners adjacent to it. GREASE IS FLAMMABLE. Let hot grease cool before attempting to handle it. Avoid letting grease deposits collect. Clean after each use. For proper lighting and performance of the burners, keep the igniter ports clean. It is necessary to clean these when there is a boil over or when the burner does not light even though the electronic igniters activate. See “Cleaning Recommendations” on page 32. WARNING: After a spill or boil over, turn off the burner and using caution due to possible hot surfaces, clean around the burner and burner ports. After cleaning, check for proper operation. Clean the range with caution. Avoid steam burns; DO NOT use a wet sponge or cloth to clean the range while it is hot. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface. Follow directions provided by the cleaner manufacturer. DO NOT use flammable cleaners to clean the range. Be sure all cooktop controls are turned off and the cooktop is cool before using any type of aerosol cleaner on or around the cooktop. The chemical that produces the spraying action could, in the presence of heat, ignite or cause metal parts to corrode. WARNING: DO NOT block or obstruct the flow of air through the ventilation openings. The oven vent is located at the back of the appliance. The vents need to be unobstructed and open to provide necessary airflow that is important for proper oven performance. Low Back Vent DO NOT touch oven vent area while the appliance is on and for several minutes after the appli...
