Safety Instructions - Jenn-Air Pro Style PRG3000P Manual

Important Safety Instructions
Read before operating your range
All appliances - regardless of the manufacturer - have the
potential through improper or careless use to create safety
problems. Therefore the following safety precautions should
be observed:
1. Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded
by a qualified technician.
2, Never use your appliance for warming or heating the
room. This warning is based on safety considerations.
3. Children should not be left alone or unattended in area
where appliance is in use. They should never be allowed
to sit or sland on any part of the appliance.
4. Wear proper apparel. Loose-fitting or hanging gar-
ments should never be worn while using the appliance.
5. Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless
specifically recommended in this manual. All other
servicing should be referred to an authorized Jenn-Air
Service Contractor.
6. Do not store combustible materials, gasoline or other
flammable vapors and liquid near range. This also
applies to aerosol sprays and aerosol spray cans.
7. Do not use water on grease fires. Smother fire or flame
or use dry. chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
8. Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on
hot surtaces may result in bums from steam. Donor use
a towel or other bulky cloth.
9. Select cookware large enough to properly contain food
and avoid boilovers or spillovers. This will save on
cleaning and prevent hazardous accumulations of food,
since heavy splattering or spillovers left on a range can
ignite. Pan size is especially important in deep fat
frying.
10. Never leave range unattended at Hi heat settings. Boil
over causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may
ignite.
11. TYPE OF COOKWARE - Avoid pans that are unstable
and easily tipped. Pans that are too heavy when filled
with food can also be a hazard. If pan handles twist and
cannot be tightened, discard the pan.
12, HANDLES- Always turn pan handles tothe side or back
of the range- not out into the room where they are easily
hit. COOKWARE HANDLES SHOULD BETURNED
INWARD AND NOT EXTEND OVER ADJACENT
SURFACE BURNERS to minimize bums, ignition of
flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional
contact with the cookware.
13. CAUT1ON - Do not store items of interest to children in
cabinets above range-children climbing on the range to
reach items could be seriously injured.
14. Do not touch surface burner areas or perimeter area
around cooktop or interior surfaces of ovens. During
and after use. these areas may be hot enough to cause
bums. Avoid contact with these areas by clothing or
other flammable materials until they have had sufficient
time to cool. Other surfaces may become hot enough to
cause burns-among these surfaces are the upper door
frame and door, oven vent opening and surfaces near the
opening, and the top edge of the control panel.
15. Do not heat unopened food containers. Build-up of
pressure may cause container to burst and result in
injury.
16. Keep all controls "OFF' when unit is not in use.
17. GREASE- Grease is flamrnable and should be handled
carefully. Never leave any cooking operation unat-
tended. Let fat cool before attempting to handle it. Do
not allow grease to collect around the range or in the
vents. Wipe up spiUovers immediately.
18. If the range is installed near a window, proper precau-
tions should be taken to prevent curtains from blowing
over burners creating a FIRE HAZARD.
19. Do not use aluminum foil to line burner spillover bowl.
Restriction of normal air flow may result in unsafe
operation.
20. Clean only parts listed in this manual and use procedures
recommended.
21. Always allow hot pans to cool in a s',ffeplace out of the
reach of small children.
22. A faint gas odor may indicate a gas leak. Ifa gas odor
is detected, shut off the gas supply to the range. Call
your installer or local gas company to have the possible
leak checked. Never use a match or other flame to
locate a gas leak.
23. Use care when opening oven door. Let hot air or steam
escape before removing or replacing food.
24. Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. Your range is
vented through the front top of the island trim, stub back
or high shelf backsplash. Never block oven vent or air
intakes. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and
ventilation air. Restriction of air flow to the burner
prevents proper performance.
25. Always place oven racks in desired location while oven
is cool. If rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not
let potholder contact oven burner flame.
26. Do not clean door gasket. The door gasket is essential
for a good seal. Care should be taken not to tab, "damage,
or move the gasket.
27. Before servicing your appliance, disconnect power to
the range at the main fuse or circuit breaker panel and at
the electrical receptacle.
