WARNINGS
COOKING SAFETY
•
Once the unit has been installed as outlined in the
Installation Instructions, it is important that the fresh air
supply is not obstructed. The use of a gas cooking
appliance results in the production of heat and moisture
in the room in which it is installed.
•
Ensure that the kitchen is well-ventilated. Keep natural
venting holes open or install a mechanical ventilation
device. Prolonged or intensive use of the appliance may
call for additional (such as opening a window) or more
effective ventilation (such as increasing the level of a
mechanical ventilation if present).
•
NEVER use aluminum foil to cover oven racks or oven
bottom. This could result in risk of electric shock, fire, or
damage to the appliance. Use foil only as directed in this
guide.
•
To eliminate the hazard of reaching over hot surface
burners, cabinet storage should not be provided directly
above a unit. Temperatures may be unsafe for some
items, such as volatile liquids, cleaners or aerosol
sprays.
•
ALWAYS place a pan on a surface burner before turning
it on. Be sure you know which knob controls which
surface burner. Make sure the correct burner is turned
on and that the burner has ignited. When cooking is
completed, turn burner off before removing pan to
prevent exposure to burner flame.
•
ALWAYS adjust surface burner flame so that it does not
extend beyond the bottom edge of the pan. An
excessive flame is hazardous, wastes energy and may
damage the appliance, pan or cabinets above the
appliance. This is based on safety considerations.
•
NEVER leave a surface cooking operation unattended
especially when using a high heat setting or when deep
fat frying. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
spillovers may ignite. Clean up greasy spills as soon as
possible. DO NOT use high heat for extended cooking
operations.
•
DO NOT heat unopened food containers, build up of
pressure may cause the container to explode and result
in injury.
•
ALWAYS let quantities of hot fat used for deep fat frying
cool before attempting to move or handle.
•
NEVER wear garments made of flammable material or
loose fitting or long-sleeved apparel while cooking.
Clothing may ignite or catch utensil handles. DO NOT
drape towels or materials on oven door handles. These
items could ignite and cause burns.
•
ALWAYS place oven racks in the desired positions while
oven is cool. Slide oven rack out to add or remove food,
using dry, sturdy potholders.
•
ALWAYS avoid reaching into the oven to add or remove
food. If a rack must be moved while hot, use a dry pot-
holder.
•
ALWAYS turn the oven off at the end of cooking.
•
Use care when opening the oven door. Let hot air or
steam escape before moving or replacing food.
•
DO NOT cook directly on the oven bottom. This could
result in damage to your appliance. Always use the oven
racks when cooking in the oven.
Do not connect any appliances to the plugs above or near
to the induction cooktop; connection cable insulation can
melt if in contact with heat, and this may result in an injury
and a property damage.
RECOMMENDED UTENSILS
•
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 rangetop surface or oven
usage without breaking due to the sudden change in
temperature. Follow manufacturer's instructions when
using glass.
