Cooking Safety

•  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 
e

ff

 ective ventilation (such as increasing the 

level of a mechanical ventilation if present).

•  To eliminate the hazard of reaching over hot 

surface burners, cabinet storage should not be 
provided directly above a unit. 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 o

ff

  before removing 

pan to prevent exposure to burner 

fl

 ame.

•  ALWAYS adjust surface burner 

fl

 ame so that it 

does not extend beyond the bottom edge of the 
pan. An excessive 

fl

 ame 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.

•  NEVER wear garments made of 

fl

 ammable 

material or loose 

fi

 tting  or  long-sleeved 

apparel while cooking. Clothing may ignite or 
catch utensil handles. 

Do not connect any appliances to the plugs 
above or near to the induction cooktop; con-
nection cable insulation can melt if in contact 
with heat, and this may result in an injury and 
a property damage. 

Recommended Utensils 

• Use 

pans 

with 

fl

 at bottoms and handles 

that are easily grasped and stay cool. Avoid 
using unstable, warped, easily tipped or 
loose-handled pans. Also avoid using pans, 
especially small pans, with heavy handles as 
they could be unstable and easily tip. Pans 
that are heavy to move when 

fi

 lled with food 

may also be hazardous.

•  Be sure utensil is large enough to properly 

contain food and avoid boilovers. Pan size 
is particularly important in deep fat frying. Be 
sure pan will accommodate the volume of 
food that is to be added as well as the bubble 
action of fat.

•  To minimize burns, ignition of 

fl

 ammable 

materials and spillage due to unintentional 
contact with the utensil, DO NOT extend 
handles over adjacent surface burners. 
ALWAYS turn pan handles toward the side or 
back of the appliance, not out into the room 
where they are easily hit or reached by small 
children.

•  NEVER let a pan boil dry as this could damage 

the utensil and the appliance.

•  Follow the manufacturer’s directions when 

using oven cooking bags.

•  Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, 

ceramic or glazed utensils are suitable for 
rangetop surface or oven usage without 
breaking due to the sudden change in 
temperature. Follow manufacturer’s 
instructions when using glass.

•  Bakeware, such as large casserole pans, 

cookie sheets, etc. should never be used on 
the rangetop.

•  Placement of large stock pots should be 

staggered when used on the rangetop.

Cleaning Safety

• Turn 

o

ff

  all controls and wait for appliance parts 

to cool before touching or cleaning them. DO 
NOT touch the burner grates or surrounding 
areas until they have had su

ffi

  cient  time  to 

cool.

•  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.

WARNING!

Never use this appliance as a space heater to 
heat or warm the room. Doing somay result in 
carbon monoxid poisoning and overheating of the 
oven.
