IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS Never use any part of the range or oven for storage. Flammable materials can catch fire and plastic items may melt or ignite. Do not hang articles from any part of the appliance or place anything against the oven. Some fabrics are quite flammable and may catch on fire. If the range is near a window, be certain the curtains do not blow over or near the range burners; they could catch on fire. WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A GREASE FIRE: • Never leave surface units unattended at high settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils slowly on low or medium settings. • Always turn hood ON when cooking at high heat or when flambéing food (i.e. Crepes Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef Flambé). • Clean hood filters frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on fan or filter. • Use proper pan size. Always use cookware appropriate for the size of the cooktop burner. Always have a working smoke detector near the kitchen. In the event that personal clothing or hair catches fire, drop and roll immediately to extinguish flames. Have an appropriate fire extinguisher available, nearby, highly visible and easily accessible near the cooking appliance. Smother flames from food fires, other than grease fires, with baking soda. Never use water on cooking fires. Whenever possible, do not operate the ventilation system during a cooktop fire. However, do not reach through fire to turn it off. WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS, IN THE EVENT OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING: • Smother flames with a close-fitting lid, cookie sheet, or other metal tray, then turn off the gas burner or the electric element. Be careful to prevent burns. If the flames do not go out immediately, Evacuate and call the fire department. • Never pick up a flaming pan - You may be burned. • DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dish cloths or towels - a violent steam explosion will result. • Use an extinguisher only if: • You know you have a class ABC extinguisher and you already know how to operate it. • The fire is small and contained in the area where it started. • The fire department is being called. • You can fight the fire with your back to an exit. Never let clothing, potholders, or other flammable materials come in contact with or too close to any element, top burner or burner grate until it has cooled. Fabric may ignite and result in personal injury. Use only dry potholders: moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may cause burns from steam. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of potholders. Do not let potholders touch hot elements, hot burners, or burner grates. For personal safety, wear proper apparel. Loose fitting garments or hanging sleeves should never be worn while using this appliance. Some synthetic fabrics are highly flammable and should not be worn while cooking. Do not use aluminum foil to line any part of the oven or range. Use of a foil liner could result in a shock or fire hazard, or the obstruction of the flow of combustion and ventilation air. Foil is an excellent heat insulator and heat will be trapped beneath it. This will upset the cooking performance and can damage the finish of the oven or the range. English 4

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Never use any part of the range or oven for storage.
Flammable materials can catch fire and plastic items may
melt or ignite.
Do not hang articles from any part of the appliance or place
anything against the oven. Some fabrics are quite
flammable and may catch on fire.
If the range is near a window, be certain the curtains do not
blow over or near the range burners; they could catch on
fire.
Always have a working smoke detector near the kitchen.
In the event that personal clothing or hair catches fire, drop
and roll immediately to extinguish flames.
Have an appropriate fire extinguisher available, nearby,
highly visible and easily accessible near the cooking
appliance.
Smother flames from food fires, other than grease fires,
with baking soda. Never use water on cooking fires.
Whenever possible, do not operate the ventilation system
during a cooktop fire. However, do not reach through fire to
turn it off.
Never let clothing, potholders, or other flammable materials
come in contact with or too close to any element, top
burner or burner grate until it has cooled. Fabric may ignite
and result in personal injury.
Use only dry potholders: moist or damp potholders on hot
surfaces may cause burns from steam. Do not use a towel
or other bulky cloth in place of potholders. Do not let
potholders touch hot elements, hot burners, or burner
grates.
For personal safety, wear proper apparel. Loose fitting
garments or hanging sleeves should never be worn while
using this appliance. Some synthetic fabrics are highly
flammable and should not be worn while cooking.
Do not use aluminum foil to line any part of the oven or
range. Use of a foil liner could result in a shock or fire
hazard, or the obstruction of the flow of combustion and
ventilation air. Foil is an excellent heat insulator and heat
will be trapped beneath it. This will upset the cooking
performance and can damage the finish of the oven or the
range.
WARNING:
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A GREASE
FIRE:
Never leave surface units unattended at
high settings. Boilovers cause smoking and
greasy spillovers that may ignite. Heat oils
slowly on low or medium settings.
Always turn hood ON when cooking at high
heat or when flambéing food (i.e. Crepes
Suzette, Cherries Jubilee, Peppercorn Beef
Flambé).
Clean
hood
filters
frequently.
Grease
should not be allowed to accumulate on fan
or filter.
Use proper pan size. Always use cookware
appropriate for the size of the cooktop
burner.
WARNING:
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO
PERSONS, IN THE EVENT OF A RANGE
TOP GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE
FOLLOWING:
Smother flames with a close-fitting lid,
cookie sheet, or other metal tray, then turn
off the gas burner or the electric element.
Be careful to prevent burns. If the flames
do not go out immediately, Evacuate and
call the fire department.
Never pick up a flaming pan — You may
be burned.
DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dish
cloths or towels — a violent steam
explosion will result.
Use an extinguisher only if:
You know you have a class ABC
extinguisher and you already know
how to operate it.
The fire is small and contained in the
area where it started.
The fire department is being called.
You can fight the fire with your back to
an exit.
