Induction Cooking Surfaces; Oven Heating Elements; Cleaning Safety; Power Failure Warning - Bertazzoni Professional Series Installation, User And Maintenance Manual

WARNINGS

INDUCTION COOKING SURFACES

• Surface areas on or adjacent to the unit may be hot
enough to cause burns. Do not touch the cooking area
as long as the light indicating residual heat on the glass-
ceramic cooktop area, is "on"; this indicates that the
temperature in the relative area is still high.
• DO NOT COOK ON BROKEN COOKING SURFACE – If
cooking surface should break, cleaning solutions and
spillovers may penetrate the broken cooking surface and
create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified
technician immediately.
• Keep a close eye on children because they are unlikely
to see the residual heat warning lights. The cooking
zones are still very hot for some time after use, even if
they are switched off. Make sure that children never
touch them.
• NEVER use aluminum foil to hold the food while cooking
on a glass-ceramic cooktop area.
• Never place pan with bottoms which are not perfectly flat
and smooth on the cooktop area.
• If you drop a heavy pot on your cooktop area it will not
break. On the contrary, if a hard object, such as the salt
shaker or the spice bottle strikes the edge or the corner
of the cooktop area, the cooktop area may break.
• Never use the glass-ceramic cooktop area as support
surface.
• Only use cleaning products made specifically for
ceramic glass cooking surfaces.
Metal items such as cutlery or lids must never be placed on
the surface of the cooktop area since they may become hot.

OVEN HEATING ELEMENTS

• NEVER touch oven bake and broil burner areas or
interior surfaces of oven.
• Bake and broil burners may be hot even though they are
dark in color. Areas near burners and interior surfaces of
an oven may become hot enough to cause burns.
• During and after use, DO NOT touch or let clothing or
other flammable materials contact heating elements,
areas near elements, or interior surfaces of oven until
they have had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of
the oven may become hot enough to cause burns, such
as the oven vent opening, the surface near the vent
opening, and the oven door window.

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 the range with caution. Avoid steam burns; DO
NOT use a wet sponge or cloth to clean the range while
it is hot. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes if
applied to a hot surface. Follow directions provided by
the cleaner manufacturer.
34
• DO NOT clean, rub, damage, move or remove the door
gasket. It is essential for a good seal during baking. If
the gasket becomes worn or excessively soiled with food
particles, replace gasket to assure a tight seal.

POWER FAILURE WARNING

Due to safety considerations and the possibility of personal
injury in attempting to light and extinguish the oven burners,
the grill and the oven burner should not be used during a
power failure. The oven control knob should always remain
in the "OFF" position during a power failure.
WARNING
Never use this appliance as a space heater
to heat or warm the room. Doing so may
result in carbon monoxide poisoning and
overheating of the oven.

ROOM VENTILATION

An exhaust fan may be used with the appliance; in each
case it shall be installed in conformity with the appropriate
national and local standards. Exhaust hood operation may
affect other vented appliances; in each case it shall be
installed in conformity with the appropriate national and
local standards.

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

Make sure all controls are OFF and oven is COOL before
cleaning. Failure to do so can result in burns or electrical
shock.
DO NOT touch a hot oven light bulb with a damp cloth as
the bulb could break. Should the bulb break, disconnect
power to the appliance before removing bulb to avoid
electrical shock.
WARNING
Never cover any slots, holes or passages in
the oven bottom or cover an entire rack
with materials such as aluminum foil. Doing
so blocks air flow through the oven and
may cause carbon monoxide poisoning.
Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat,
causing a fire hazard.

BURN HAZARD

The oven door, especially the glass, can get hot. DO NOT
touch the oven door glass!
The instructions shall warn the user of possible hazard or
injures that may result from the misuse of appliance doors
such as stepping, leaning or sitting on the doors.
