IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
VENTILATION SAFETY
• The use of a gas cooking appliance generates heat and humidity in the kitchen or room
where it is installed. A range hood may be used with the appliance; in each case it
shall be installed in conformity with the appropriate national and local standards.
• If a range hood is installed with appropriate ducting, maintain a 30” (762 mm)
minimum clearance between the cooking surface and bottom of the hood.
• Exhaust hood operation may affect other vented appliances; in each case it shall be
installed in conformity with the appropriate national and local standards.
• Intensive and continuous use of the appliance may require additional ventilation, for
example, by opening a window.
OVEN SAFETY
• Never pour cold water onto hot surfaces in a hot oven. The steam created could cause
serious burns or scalding and the sudden change in temperature can damage the
enamel in the oven.
• We recommend that before you cook in your new range, you heat the oven to roughly
400 °F (204 °C) for 2 hours. After the oven cools, wipe it out with hot water and a
kitchen-safe cleaner. We also recommend cleaning the racks and shelves before use.
• When using the oven for the first time you may notice the following:
• There may be a smell. This is quite normal when the appliance is first heated, as
residual oil from production of parts will be burnt off quickly.
• There may be noises. This is also quite normal as new parts move and settle into
place during the initial heating process.
COOKING AND RANGE TOP SAFETY
• This product is intended for the cooking of food and must not be used for
other purposes.
• Unstable or deformed pans should not be placed on the burners in order to avoid
accidents caused by spillover.
• Particular care should be taken when cooking with oil or fat.
• Always ensure that the knobs are in the OFF position when the appliance is not in use.
• Before maintenance and cleaning, disconnect the appliance and allow cooling down.
For reasons of hygiene and safety this appliance must always be kept clean.
