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 oven
cooking bags.
Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic,
ceramic or
glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop
or oven usage
without
breaking due to the sudden change in tempera-
ture. Follow manufacturer's
instructions
when using
glass.
This appliance
has been tested for safe performance
using conventional
cookware. Do not use any devices
or accessories that are not specifically
recommended
in this guide. Do not use eyelid covers for the surface
units, stovetop grills, or add-on oven convection
systems. The use of devices or accessories that are not
expressly recommended
in this manual can create
serious safety hazards, result in performance
problems,
and reduce the life of the components
of the appliance.
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.

Safety Notice
and Warning
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforce-
ment Act of 1986 (Proposition
65) requires the Governor
of California to publish a list of substances
known to the
State of California to cause cancer or reproductive
harm,
and requires businesses to warn customers
of potential
exposures to such substances.
Users of this appliance are hereby warned that the
burning of gas can result in low-level exposure to
some of the listed substances, including
benzene,
formaldehyde
and soot, due primarily to the incomplete
combustion
of natural gas or liquid petroleum
(LP) fuels.
Properly adjusted burners will minimize incomplete
combustion.
Exposure to these substances
can also be
minimized
by properly venting the burners to the
outdoors.
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 during
an oven self-cleaning
cycle may be harmful or fatal to
birds. Fumes released due to overheated cooking oil, fat,
margarine
and overheated
non-stick
cookware
may be
equally harmful.
