KEEP FLAMMABLE MATERIALS AWAY FROM THE RANGE
WARNING
Failure to do so may result in fire or personal injury.
• Do not store or use flammable materials in an oven or
near the cooktop, including paper, plastic, pot holders,
linens, wall coverings, curtains, drapes and gasoline or
other flammable vapors and liquids.
IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE, TAKE THE FOLLOWING
WARNING
STEPS TO PREVENT INJURY AND FIRE SPREADING
• Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a
flaming pan. Turn the controls off. Smother a flaming
pan on a surface unit by covering the pan completely
with a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Use
a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire
extinguisher.
• If there is a fire in the oven during baking, smother the
fire by closing the oven door and turning the oven off or
WARNING
COOKTOP SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Never leave the surface burners unattended. Foods,
especially oily foods, may ignite resulting in fire that
could spread to surrounding cabinets.
• Never leave oil unattended while frying. If allowed to
heat beyond its smoking point, oil may ignite resulting
in fire that may spread to surrounding cabinets. Use a
deep fat thermometer whenever possible to monitor oil
temperature.
• To avoid oil spillover and fire, use the minimum amount
of oil when using a shallow pan-frying and avoid cooking
frozen foods with excessive amounts of ice.
• Use proper pan size and avoid pans that are unstable or
easily tipped. Select cookware that is matched to the
size of the burner. Burner flames should be adjusted so
that they do not extend beyond the bottom of the pan.
Excessive flame may be hazardous.
• Always use the LITE position when igniting the top
burners and make sure the burners have ignited.

• Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while
using the appliance. These garments may ignite if they
contact hot surfaces causing severe burns.
• Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials
accumulate in or near the range. Grease in the oven or
on the cooktop may ignite.
by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire
extinguisher.
• If there is a fire in the oven during self-clean, turn the
oven off and wait for the fire to go out. Do not force
the door open. Introduction of fresh air at self-clean
temperatures may lead to a burst of flame from the
oven. Failure to follow this instruction may result in
severe burns.
• When using glass/ceramic cookware, make sure it is
suitable for cooktop service; others may break because
of sudden change in temperature.
• To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of
flammable materials and spillage, the handle of a
container should be turned toward the center of the
range without extending over nearby burners.
• Do not use a wok with a round metal support ring. The
ring may trap heat and block air to the burner resulting
in a carbon monoxide hazard.
• Do not attempt to lift the cooktop. Doing so may
damage the gas tubing to the surface burners resulting
in a gas leak and risk of fire.
• Do not use aluminum foil to cover the grates or line
any part of the cooktop. Doing so may result in carbon
monoxide poisoning, overheating of the cooktop
surfaces, or a potential fire hazard.
