IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
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 STEPS TO PREVENT
WARNING
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
by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire
extinguisher.
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.
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
295D1344P039 / 29-6359 Rev 0
• 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.
• 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.
