IN THE EVENT OF FIRE, TAKE THE FOLLOWING STEPS TO PREVENT INJURY AND FIRE SPREADING
Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Turn off the controls and smother the
flaming pan with a fitted lid, cooking sheet or large flat tray.
If there is a fire in the oven, turn off the oven and keep the oven door closed.
It is recommended you purchase a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher for your
home. Store it in close proximity to your appliance.
COOKTOP SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The push-in and turn control knobs on this appliance are designed to be child-safe, however are not a
guarantee of safe operation.
Do not leave children alone or unattended in the kitchen while the appliance is in use.
When flaming liquor or other spirits, and if your appliance is installed under a ventilation hood, TURN
THE FAN OFF. The draft created could cause the flames to spread.
Turn pot and pan handles inward so they do not extend over adjacent burners or the front of the range
to reduce the risk of burns, igniting flammable materials, and spillage.
After use do not touch the range surface until completely cooled.
Never leave the surface burners unattended at medium or high heat settings. 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 fry thermometer whenever
possible to monitor oil temperature and operate with safe limits.
To avoid oil spillover and fire, use a minimum amount of oil when 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 flames may be hazardous.
When using glass/ceramic cookware, make sure it is suitable for cooktop service. Some materials
may break because of sudden change in temperature.
Do not use cookie sheets or aluminum foil to cover the grates or line any part of the cooktop. Doing
so may result in carbon monoxide build-up and poisoning, over heating the cooktop surfaces, or a
potential fire hazard.
