Cookware handles should be turned inward and not extend over adjacent
surface burners. Toreducetheriskofburns,ignitionofammablematerials,and
spillage due to unintentional contact with the cookware, the handle of a cookware
should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent
surface burners.
Never leave the surface burners unattended. Boilovers may cause smoking,
greasyspill-oversmaycatchreorapanwhichhasboileddrymaymelt.
Do not place hands between the spring tension hinge and the oven door
frame when you are removing the oven door. Youcouldpinchyourngers.
Allow parts to cool to room temperature before touching or removing them
from the range. Whenasurfaceburnerisrstturnedoff,theburnerandgrateare
hot enough to cause burns.
Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of fat or grease, which could
catch re. Pay particular attention to the area underneath each surface burner.
Exhaustfanventilatinghoodsandgreaseltersshouldbeclean.Donotallowfat
orgreasetoaccumulate.Greasydepositsinthefancouldcatchre.Refertothe
hood manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning.
Do not use a “cyclonic” range hood with this product. Some range hoods cir-
culate air by blowing downward toward the range top then drawing the air back up
into the hood. This creates a “cyclonic” air wash that is designed for electric ranges
only. A “cyclonic” hood may cause the burners of a gas range to operate improp-
erly.
Glazed cookware: Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthen-
ware, or other glazed cookware are suitable for rangetop service without breaking,
due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer’s recommenda-
tions for rangetop use.
Do not place plastic salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrap-
pings on top of the range. These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or
woodenspoonscouldcatchreifplacedtooclosetotheame.
Do not use a wok equipped with a metal ring that extends beyond the burner.
Because this ring traps heat, the burner and grate could be damaged. Also, the
burner may not work properly, creating a carbon monoxide level above current
health standards.
Do not clean the oven door gasket. The door gasket is essential for a good seal.
Care should be taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket.
