Safety Instructions
WARNING
I
To reduce
the risk of fire, electrical
shock, injury to persons,
or damage
when using the rangetop,
follow
basic precautions,
including
the
fo owing:
1. Your unit should
be installed
by a qualified
technician.
The
appliance
must be installed
and electrically
grounded
according
to
local codes.
Have this technician
show the the location
of the gas
shut-off
valve on the range
so you know where and how to turn off
the gas if necessary.
2. Do not attempt
to repair or replace
any part of this appliance
unless specifically
recommended
in this manual.
All servicing
should
be referred
to a qualified
technician.
A qualified
technician
is required
for any adjustments
or conversions
to Nat. or LP gas.
3. The "push-to-turn"
knobs
of this rangetop
are designed
to be
child-safe.
However,
children
should
not be left alone
in the
kitchen
while the range is in use.
Do not store items of interest
to
children
over the unit.
CAUTION:
Children
climbing
to reach
items could
be seriously
injured.
4. GREASE is flammable
and should
be handled
carefully.
Do not
use water
on grease
fires.
Never
pick up a flaming
pan.
Smother
flaming
pan by covering
utensil
completely
with well-fitting
lid,
cookie
sheet or flat tray.
Flaming
grease
outside
of utensil
can be
extinguished
with baking
soda or, if available,
a multipurpose
dry
chemical
or foam type
extinguisher.
5. Never
leave the surface
area unattended
at high heat setting.
Boil-overs
cause smoking
and greasy spill-overs
which
may ignite.
6. If you are "flaming"
liquor
or other
spirits under
an exhaust,
TURN
THE FAN OFF.
The draft could
cause the flames
to spread
out of
control.
7. Wear proper
apparel.
Loose-fitting
or hanging
garments
should
never be worn while
using the appliance.
8. Never
use your rangetop
for warming
or heating
a room.
This is
based on safety considerations.
9. Use proper
pan size.
Select utensils
having
flat bottoms
large
enough
to cover the burner.
Using undersized
utensils
allows the
flame
to come
up the side of the utensil,
scorching
the outside
of
the utensil
and making
cleanup
harder.

The flame
of the surface
burner
should
be adjusted
to just cover
the bottom
of the pan or pot.
Excessive
burner
setting
may cause
scorching
of adjacent
countertop
surfaces,
as well as the outside
of
the utensil.
This is based on safety considerations.
Use dry pot holders.
Moist or damp
potholders
on hot surfaces
may result in burns from steam.
Do not let potholders
touch
hot
surface
areas.
Do not use a towel or other
bulky cloth.
To reduce
the risk of burns,
ignition
of flammable
materials,
and
spillage
clue to unintentional
contact
with the utensil,
the handle
of
a utensil
should
be positioned
so that it is turned
inward
toward
the center
of the range,
and so that it does not extend
over
adjacent
burners.
Surface
areas near burners
may become
hot enough
to cause
burns.
During
and after use, do not touch
areas near burners
until
they have had sufficient
time to cool.
Once the unit is 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).
The flueway
must also remain
clear.
Storage
cabinet
area above
the unit must be 36" (91.4 cm) and
cannot
project
more than 13" (33.0 cm) outward
from the rear wall.
Beware of potential
hazards
associated
with retrieving
items from
such cabinets
when the unit is in operation.
Keep area clean and free from combustible
material,
gasoline,
and
other
flammable
liquids.
