• Before moving cookware full of fats or oils, make sure it has completely cooled. • To prevent delayed eruptive boiling, always allow heated liquids to stand at least 20 seconds after you have turned off the burner so that the temperature in the liquid can stabilize. In the event of scalding, follow these first aid instructions: 1. Immerse the scalded area in cool or lukewarm water for at least 10 minutes. 2. Do not apply any creams, oils, or lotions. 3. Cover with a clean, dry cloth. • Place pots in the center of the grate. Do not place a pot larger than 9" in diameter on the rear burners. If you place an oversized pot in the wrong position, it might disrupt necessary air circulation and make the flame on the burner sputter and burn inefficiently. • Do not wear loose or hanging garments when using the range. They could ignite and burn you if they touch a surface burner. • Never leave plastic items on the cooktop. Hot air from the vent can melt or ignite plastic items or cause a build up of dangerous pressure in closed plastic containers. • Do not place portable appliances, or any other object other than cookware on the cooktop. Damage or fire could occur if the cooktop is hot. • Always make sure foods being fried are thawed and dry. Moisture of any kind can cause hot fat to bubble up and over the sides of the pan. • Always make sure the controls are OFF and the grates are cool before you remove them to prevent any possibility of being burned. • Do not put any combustible material or items around the range. • Take care that your hands do not touch the burners when they are on. Turn off the burners when you change a pan or pot. • To warm liquid such as sauces, stir it while warming. Oven safety WARNING To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, personal injuries, and/or death, observe the following precautions. • Do not use the oven for non-cooking purposes such as drying clothes or storage. Use the oven for cooking only. • Make sure the inner portion of the split ovenrack is in the proper position within the outer rack. • Make sure the oven racks are placed on the same level on each side. • Do not damage, move, or clean the door gasket. • Do not spray water on the oven glass while the oven is on or just after you have turned it off. • Do not use aluminium foil or foil liners anywhere in the oven. Do not use aluminium foil or similar material to cover any holes or passages in the oven bottom or to cover an oven rack. This can cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat, causing a fire hazard. • Stand away from the oven when opening the oven door. • Keep the oven free from grease buildup. • When repositioning the oven racks, make sure the oven is completely cool. • Only use cookware that is recommended for use in gas ovens. • To avoid damaging the burner control knobs, always bake and/or broil with the oven door closed. • Do not broil meat too close to the burner flame. Trim excess fat from meat before cooking. • When using cooking or roasting bags in the oven, follow the manufacturer's directions. • NEVER cover any slots, holes, or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire rack with material 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. English 11 Important safety information
