• ALWAYS turn the oven off at the end of cooking.

• Use care when opening the oven door. Let hot air or steam escape before moving or replacing food.

• NEVER use aluminum foil to cover oven racks or oven bottom. This could result in risk of electric shock, fire, or

damage to the appliance. Use foil only as directed in this guide.

• PREPARED FOOD WARNING: Follow food manufacturer’s instructions. If a plastic frozen food container and/or

its cover distorts, warps, or is otherwise damaged during cooking, immediately discard the food and its container.

The food could be contaminated.

• Do not store flammable materials on or near the appliance. Keep the appliance area clean and free of combustible

materials, gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids. A check before each use to determine that no hazardous

materials are in the area is recommended.

• If you are “flaming” liquor or other spirits under an exhaust, TURN THE FAN OFF. The draft could cause the flames

to spread out of control. The flames could set the grease filters of a ventilation hood on fire. Do not flambé under a

ventilation hood.

• Never heat empty cookware.

• 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 effective ventilation (such as increasing the level of a mechanical ventilation if present).

• This appliance should not be operated without a properly sized and operational ventilation hood.

• If the appliance is covered, there is a risk that the material of the cover will ignite, explode or melt if the range is

still hot or if turned on inadvertently. Never cover the appliance with a board, cloth or protective sheet.

• When using an electrical appliance, e.g. a hand mixer, near the cooktop, make sure that the power cable does

not come into contact with the hot cooktop. The cable's insulation could become damaged.

• Cookware made of plastic or aluminum foil will melt at high temperatures. Do not use any plastic or aluminum

foil cookware.

• The appliance gets hot when in use and remains hot for some time after being turned off. Do not touch the

appliance if there is a possibility that it could still be hot. You can burn yourself on a hot cooktop.

• If the appliance is accidentally turned on or is still hot, metal objects on the appliance can heat up. Other items

may melt or catch fire. Do not place unused items on the appliance for storage!

• A range hood installed above the cooktop can become damaged or catch fire as a result of intense heat. Do not

use the gas burners without cookware.

• If the appliance has not been used for a long period of time, be sure to thoroughly clean it and have it inspected

by an authorized technician before using it again.

• Ask your installer to show you the location of your gas shutoff valve and fuses or circuit breaker panel in your

apartment or home. Be sure that you know how and where to disconnect the gas and power supply to your

appliance.

Utensil Safety

• Use pans with flat 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 filled 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 flammable 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 ovencooking 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.

• The flame of the burner should be adjusted to just cover the bottom of the pan or pot. Excessive burner setting

may cause scorching of adjacent counter-top surfaces, as well as the outside of the utensil. This is based on safety

considerations.

Heating Elements

•NEVER touch oven heating elements areas or interior surfaces of oven while cooking.

• Elements may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near elements and interior surfaces of an oven may

become hot enough to cause burns.

• During and after use, DO NOT touch or let clothing or other flammable materials contact heating elements, areas

near elements, or interior surfaces of oven until they have had suffi cient time to cool. Other surfaces of the oven

may become hot enough to cause burns, such as the oven vent opening, the surface near the vent opening, and the

oven door window.

Cleaning Safety

• Turn off 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 sufficient time to cool.

• Clean appliance with caution. Use care to avoid steam burns if a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a

hot surface. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.

• DO NOT clean door gasket. It is essential for a good tight seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage, or

move the gasket.

• No oven liner protective coating such as aluminum foil should be used in or around any part of the oven. Improper

oven liners may result in a risk of electric shock or fire. Keep oven free from grease buildup.

Important notice regarding pet birds:

NEVER keep pet birds in the kitchen or in rooms where the fumes from the kitchen could reach. Birds have a very 

sensitive respiratory system.

Fumes released due to overheated cooking oil, fat, margarine and overheated non-stick cookware may be equally 

harmful.

Before using your range

All products are wiped clean with solvents at the factory to remove any visible signs of dirt, oil, and grease which 

may have remained from the manufacturing process. There may be some burn off and odors on first use of the 

appliance—this is normal.

Oven

Before  first  use,  wipe  interior  with  soapy  water  and  dry  thoroughly.  Then  switch  on  the  oven  at  the  maximum 

temperature and operate for an hour. There may be some burn off and odors on first use of the appliance—this is 

normal.
