Important safety information Important safety information LOCATION SAFETY WARNING To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, personal injuries, and/or death, observe the following precautions. • This range is for indoor, household use only. Do not install the range in areas exposed to the weather and/or water. • Do not install the range in a place which is exposed to a strong draft. • Select a level, well-constructed floor that can support the range's weight. Synthetic flooring, such as linoleum, must withstand 180 °F (82 °C) temperatures without shrinking, warping, or discoloring. Do not install the range directly over interior kitchen carpeting unless a sheet of ¼ inch plywood or a similar insulator is placed between the range and carpeting. • Select a location where a grounded, 3- prong outlet is easily accessible. • If the range is located near a window, do not hang long curtains or paper blinds on that window. • For the range to ventilate properly, make sure the range's vents are not blocked, and that there is enough clearance at the top, back, sides, and underneath the range. The vents allow the necessary exhaust for the range to operate properly with correct combustion. • Make sure the wall coverings around the range can withstand heat up to 194 °F (90 °C) generated by the range. • Cabinet storage above the surface of the range should be avoided. If cabinet storage above the range is necessary: allow a minimum clearance of 40 inches (102 cm) between the cooking surface and the bottom of cabinets; or install a range hood that projects horizontally a minimum of 5 inches (12.7 cm) beyond the bottom of the cabinets. • Locate the range out of kitchen traffic paths and drafty locations to prevent poor air circulation. • If the range is located near a window, NEVER hang long curtains or paper blinds on that window. They could blow over the surface burners and ignite, causing a fire hazard. COOKTOP SAFETY WARNING To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, personal injuries, and/or death, observe the following precautions. • Make sure all burners are off when not in use. • Do not use aluminium foil to line the grates or any part of the cooktop. It may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat, causing a fire hazard. • Do not leave burners unattended on medium or high heat settings. • Before igniting any burner, make sure all burner caps are properly in place and all burners are level. • Always use the LITE position when igniting the burners and make sure the burners have ignited. If ignition fails, turn the knob to OFF and wait until the gas has dissipated. • When you set a burner to simmer, do not turn the knob quickly. Make sure the flame stays on. • Do not place any objects other than cookware on the cooktop. • This cooktop is designed to cook with a wok or wok ring attachment. To flame food, you must have a ventilation hood. When you flame food, the hood must be on. • Before removing or changing cookware, turn off the burners. • Remove food and cookware immediately after cooking. • Before removing any parts of the burner for cleaning, make sure the range is off and completely cool. • After cleaning the burner spreader, make sure it is completely dry before reassembling. • Make sure the spark mark on the dual burner spreader is placed beside the electrode when you re-assemble the burner spreader. • To avoid carbon monoxide poisoning, do not pour water into the cooktop well while cleaning. • Select cookware that is designed for range top cooking. Use cookware that is large enough to cover the burner grates. Adjust the burner flames so that the flames do not extend beyond the bottom of the cookware. 8 English
