IMPORTANT SAF_ INS_UC_S
The following instructions are based on safety
considerations and must be strictly followed to eliminate
the potential risks of fire, electric shock, or personal injury.
Have your appliance installed and properly grounded by a
qualified installer according to the installation instructions.
Have the installer show you the location of the gas shut off
valve and how to shut it off in an emergency.
Always disconnect power to appliance before servicing.
To ensure proper operation and avoid possible injury or
damage to unit do not attempt to adjust, repair, service, or
replace any part of your appliance unless it is specifically
recommended in this book. All other servicing should be
referred to a qualified installer or servicer,
Be sure all packing materials are removed from the
appliance before operating it.
Keep area around appliance clear and free from
combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable
vapors and materials.
If appliance is installed near a window, proper precautions
should be taken to prevent curtains from blowing over
burners.
NEVER leave any items on the cooktop. The hot air from
the vent may ignite flammable items and may increase
pressure in closed containers which may cause them to
burst.
Many plastics are vulnerable to heat. Keep plastics away
from parts of the appliance that may become warm or hot.
Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop as they may
melt or soften if left too close to the vent or a lighted
surface burner.
Many aerosol-type spray cans are EXPLOSIVE when
exposed to heat and may be highly flammable. Avoid their
use or storage near an appliance.
To eliminate the hazard of reaching over hot surface
burners, cabinet storage should not be provided directly
above a unit. If such storage is provided, it should be
limited to items which are used infrequently and which are
safely stored in an area subjected to heat from an
appliance. Temperatures may be unsafe for some items,
such as volatile liquids, cleaners or aerosol sprays.
IN CASE OF :FIRE :
Turn off appliance and ventilating hood to avoid spreading
the flame. Extinguish flame then turn on hood to remove
smoke and odor.
Use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher or baking
soda to smother fire or flame. Never use water on a
grease fire.
If fire is in the oven or broiler pan, smother by closing
oven door.
If fire is in a pan on the surface burner, cover pan. Never
attempt to pick up or move a flaming pan.
NEVER leave children alone or unsupervised near the
appliance when it is in use or is still hot. NEVER allow
children to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.
Children must be taught that the
appliance and utensils in it can be
hot. Let hot utensils cool in a safe
place, out of reach of small children.
Children should be taught that an
appliance is not a toy. Children
should not be allowed to play with
controls or other parts of the unit.
CAUTION: NEVER store items of
interest to children in cabinets above
an appliance or on the backguard of
a range. Children climbing on the
appliance or on the appliance door
to reach items could be seriously injured.
NEVER use appliance as
a space heater to heat or
warm a room to prevent
potential hazard to the
user and damage to the
appliance. Also, do not
use the cooktop or oven
as a storage area for food
or cooking utensils.
Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation a
by blocking the oven vent or air intakes. Restriction of a
flow to the burner prevents proper performance and
increases carbon monoxide emission to unsafe levels.
