Cleaning Safety
•
If a burner goes out and gas escapes, open windows and doors. Wait until
gas dissipates before using the appliance.
•
If you smell gas, your installer has not done a proper job of checking for
leaks. If the connections are not perfectly tight, you can have a small leak
and, therefore, a faint smell. Finding a gas leak is not a "do-it-yourself" pro-
cedure. Some leaks can only be found with the burner control in the ON
•
position and this must be done by a qualified service technician. See warn-
ing in "Gas Safety" on page 2.
•
DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR UNITS - Surface
units may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near surface
units may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not
touch, or let clothing, potholders, or other flammable materials contact sur-
face units or areas near units until they have had sufficient time to cool.
Among these areas are the cooktop and areas facing the cooktop.
•
DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF
OVEN - Heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in color.
Interior surfaces of an oven become hot enough to cause burns. During and
after use, do not touch, or let clothing, potholders, or other flammable mate-
rials contact heating elements or interior surfaces of oven until they have
had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the appliance may become hot
enough to cause burns. Among these surfaces are oven vent openings, sur-
faces near these openings and oven doors.
•
Exercise caution when opening the appliance. Standing to the side, open
the door (or drawer) slowly and slightly to let hot air and/or steam escape.
Keep your face clear of the opening and make sure there are no children or
pets near the unit. After the release of hot air and/or steam, proceed with
your cooking. Keep doors shut unless necessary for cooking or cleaning
purposes. Do not leave open doors unattended.
•
Do not heat or warm unopened food containers. Build-up of pressure may
cause the container to burst and cause injury.
•
Always place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. If a rack
must be moved while oven is hot, do not let potholder contact the heating
elements.
•
Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambéing food
(i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambe').
•
Use high heat settings on the cooktop only when necessary. To avoid bub-
bling and splattering, heat oil slowly on no more than a low-medium setting.
Hot oil is capable of causing extreme burns and injury.
•
Never move a pan of hot oil, especially a deep fat fryer. Wait until it is cool.
•
When children become old enough to use the appliance, it is the legal
responsibility of the parents or legal guardians to ensure that they are
instructed in safe practices by qualified persons.
•
Do not allow anyone to climb, stand, lean, sit, or hang on any part of an
appliance, especially a door, warming drawer, or storage drawer. This can
damage the appliance, and the unit may tip over, potentially causing severe
injury.
•
Do not allow children to use this appliance unless closely supervised by an
adult. Children and pets should not be left alone or unattended in the area
where the appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to play in its
vicinity, whether or not the appliance is in use.
•
CAUTION - Items of interest to children should not be stored in an appli-
ance, in cabinets above an appliance or on the backsplash. Children climb-
ing on an appliance to reach items could be seriously injured.
