RANGE.
Basic Range Safety Precautions
1. Do not store combustible materials, gasoline or
other inflammable vapors and liquids near a range.
2. Ensure and maintain the continual free passage of air
to the burner housing. Do not stand obstacles against
burner outer door and loose hair from dog or cats must
not be allowed to accumulate behind the burner outer
door.
Child Safety
Children MUST be taught safe range practices to prevent
possible injury. Listed below are some basic practices we
recommend you read and follow for safe use of this
appliance when children are present.
Children are more sensitive to heat than adults, therefore:
1. Do not leave children alone or unsupervised near the
range and discourage them from this area.
2. Children should not be allowed to mount on any part of
the range.
3. Children MUST be taught that the range and its utensils
can be hot.

4. Children should be taught that the range is not a toy.
They should be forbidden to play with the range gas
controls behind burner outer door or any other range
parts.
5. Let the heavy, hot utensils cool in a safe place but out of
reach of small children.
CAUTION: AVOID STORING ITEMS ON INTEREST TO
CHILDREN IN ANY CABINETS INSTALLED ABOVE THE
RANGE TO PREVENT THE RANGE BEING USED TO
OBTAIN CABINET ACCESS AND POSSIBLE SERIOUS
INJURY.
Gas Odours
If a gas odour is apparent with the pilot and main burner
alight, turn off the gas supply to the range. Call your installer
or local gas company to ensure that the gas pipework is
sound.
WARNING: NEVER USE A MATCH OR NAKED FLAME TO
LOCATE A GAS LEAK.
Safety Precautions and Hints
Temperatures in cabinet storage spaces above the range
may be unsafe for storage of some types of materials such
as volatile liquids or aerosol sprays which can explode.
Ensure spare storage cabinets are capable of supporting the
heavy weight of cooking utensils of the range.
The maximum depth of any cabinets installed above the top
of the range must not exceed 330mm (13in).
Grease
WARNING: HOT GREASE IS FLAMMABLE.
Wipe off any grease deposits on the range top and front.
Do not leave containers of cooking fat around the range.
In the event of a grease fire, do not remove the pan but cover
the pan to extinguish the flame.
WARNING: DO NOT DOUSE FLAME WITH WATER.
Use a dry chemical type fire extinguisher if available, or
sprinkle heavily with baking soda.
Range Cooking Safety Precautions and Hints
Never reach directly into a hot oven to add or remove
cooking utensils. Instead, pull the grill shelf out to its
maximum projection and load or remove utensils.
Oven gloves will be necessary on utensils removal.
Although the range itself provides gently radiation and
convected warm air currents, it may not be used for
increased space heating by exposing the hotplate with the
insulating covers permanently raised or the oven doors left
open. This instruction is based on safety considerations
where accidents could occur, as does the use of ovens for
storage space.
WARNING: DO NOT HEAT A CLOSED GLASS OR METAL
CONTAINER IN THE OVEN.
Pressure-build in the container may cause it to burst and
result in harmful personal damage
General Safety Precautions and Hints for Cooking
Utensils.
1. Ensure utensils have flat machined bases to obtain
perfect contact with the hotplates.
