HOB SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

• Never leave the surface burners unattended

at medium or high heat settings. Foods,

especially oily foods, may ignite resulting

in fire that could  spread to surrounding

cabinets.

• Never leave oil unattended while frying.

If allowed to heat beyond its smoking point,

oil may ignite resulting in fire that may

spread to surrounding cabinets. Use a deep

fat thermometer whenever possible to

monitor oil temperature.

• To avoid oil spillover and fire, use a minimum

amount of oil when shallow pan-frying and

avoid cooking frozen foods with excessive

amounts of ice.

• Use proper pan size and avoid pans that

are unstable or easily tipped. Select

cookware that is matched to the size of

the burner. Burner flames should be adjusted

so that they do not extend beyond the

bottom of the pan. Excessive flame may

be hazardous.

• Always use the LITE position when igniting

the top burners and make sure the burners

have ignited.

• When using glass/ceramic cookware, make

sure it is suitable for hob service; others may

 break because of sudden change in

  temperature.

• To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition

of flammable materials and spillage, the

handle of a container should be turned

toward the center of the cooker without

extending over nearby burners.

• When preparing flaming foods under a

hood, turn the fan on.

• Do not use a wok with a round metal

support ring. The ring may trap heat and

block air to the burner resulting in a carbon

monoxide hazard.

• Do not attempt to lift the hob. Doing

so may damage the gas tubing to the

surface burners resulting in a gas leak and

risk of fire.

• When disabling Lock Control (on some

models), make sure the surface controls

are set to the OFF position. This will prevent

unintended gas flow from the burners.

• Do not use aluminum foil to cover the

grates or line any part of the hob.

Doing so may result in carbon monoxide

poisoning, overheating of the hob

surfaces, or a potential fire hazard.

OVEN SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

  escapes can cause burns to hands, face

  and/or eyes.

• Keep the oven free from grease buildup.

Grease in the oven may ignite.

• Place oven racks in desired location while

oven is cool. If rack must be moved while

oven is hot, be careful to avoid touching

hot surfaces.

• Pull the oven rack to the stop-lock position

when loading and unloading food from the

oven. This helps prevent burns from touching

hot surfaces of the door and oven walls.

• Do not leave items such as paper, cooking

utensils or food in the oven when not in

use. Items stored in an oven can ignite.

NEVER cover any slots, holes, or

passages in the oven bottom or cover

an entire rack with materials such as

aluminum foil or oven liners. Doing

so blocks air flow through the oven

and may cause carbon monoxide

poisoning. Never place foil or oven liners

on the oven bottom. They can trap heat

causing risk of smoke or fire. 

 WARNING

• Use this appliance for its intended purpose

as described in this owner’s manual.

• Stand away from the cooker when opening

the oven door. Hot air or steam which
