Important safety instructions

Location safety

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, personal injuries, and/or death, observe the
following precautions.
• This range is for indoor, household use only.

Do not install

the range outdoors or

anywhere that it will be exposed to weather/water or wind/strong drafts.

• 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.

• For the range to ventilate properly, make sure the range’s vents are not blocked or

covered, 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 and get the good cooking result. Blocking or covering the vents
may cause incorrect combustion which could result in gas leaks and fire.

•

Make sure

the wall coverings around the range can withstand heat up to 200 °F (93 °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 30 inches (76.2 cm)
between the cooking surface and the bottom of the cabinets or install a range hood
that projects horizontally a minimum of 5 inches (12.7 cm) beyond the bottom of the
cabinets.

•

Locate

the range out of kitchen traffic paths and drafty locations to prevent poor air

circulation.

• If the range is located near a window, NEVER hang long curtains or paper blinds on

that window. They could blow over the surface burners and ignite, causing a fire
hazard.

Cooktop safety

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, personal injury, or death, observe these
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. This can cause

carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat, causing a fire
hazard.

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 for the gas to dissipate

before re-igniting the burner.

• When you set a burner to simmer,

do not turn

the knob quickly. Make sure the flame

stays on.

• To heat food, you must have a ventilation hood. When you heat food, the hood must be

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 ring, make sure it is completely dry before re-assembling.
•

Make sure

the spark mark on the dual burner ring 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 cooktop cooking. Use recommended cookware no

larger than the cooktop grates.

• To avoid cookware discoloration, deformity, and/or carbon monoxide poisoning, do not
