Cooking Safety
•
Once the unit has been installed as outlined in
the Installation Instructions, it is important that
the fresh air supply is not obstructed. The use
of a gas cooking appliance results in the pro-
duction of heat and moisture in the room in whi-
ch it is installed.
•
Ensure that the kitchen is well-ventilated. Keep
natural venting holes open or install a mecha-
nical ventilation device. Prolonged or intensi-
ve use of the appliance may call for additional
(such as opening a window) or more eff ective
ventilation (such as increasing the level of a
mechanical ventilation if present).
•
NEVER use aluminum foil to cover oven racks
or oven bottom. This could result in risk of
electric shock, fi re, or damage to the appliance.
Use foil only as directed in this guide.
•
To eliminate the hazard of reaching over hot
surface burners, cabinet storage should not be
provided directly above a unit. Temperatures
may be unsafe for some items, such as volatile
liquids, cleaners or aerosol sprays.
•
ALWAYS place a pan on a surface burner befo-
re turning it on. Be sure you know which knob
controls which surface burner. Make sure the
correct burner is turned on and that the bur-
ner has ignited. When cooking is completed,
turn burner off before removing pan to prevent
exposure to burner fl ame.
•
ALWAYS adjust surface burner fl ame so that it
does not extend beyond the bottom edge of the
pan. An excessive fl ame is hazardous, wastes
energy and may damage the appliance, pan or
cabinets above the appliance. This is based on
safety considerations.
•
NEVER leave a surface cooking operation
unattended especially when using a high heat
setting or when deep fat frying. Boilovers cau-
se smoking and greasy spillovers may ignite.
Clean up greasy spills as soon as possible. DO
NOT use high heat for extended cooking ope-
rations.
•
DO NOT heat unopened food containers, bu-
ild up of pressure may cause the container to
explode and result in injury.
•
ALWAYS let quantities of hot fat used for deep
fat frying cool before attempting to move or
handle.
•
NEVER wear garments made of fl ammable
material or loose fi tting or long-sleeved appa-
rel while cooking. Clothing may ignite or catch
utensil handles. DO NOT drape towels or mate-
rials on oven door handles. These items could
ignite and cause burns.
•
ALWAYS place oven racks in the desired posi-
tions while oven is cool. Slide oven rack out to
add or remove food, using dry, sturdy pothol-
ders.
•
ALWAYS avoid reaching into the oven to add or
remove food. If a rack must be moved while hot,
use a dry pot-holder.
•
ALWAYS turn the oven off at the end of cooking.
•
Use care when opening the oven door. Let hot
air or steam escape before moving or replacing
food.
•
DO NOT cook directly on the oven bottom.
This could result in damage to your appliance.
Always use the oven racks when cooking in the
oven.
Do not connect any appliances to the plugs
above or near to the induction cooktop; con-
nection cable insulation can melt if in contact
with heat, and this may result in an injury and
a property damage.
Recommended Utensils
•
Use pans with fl at bottoms and handles that
are easily grasped and stay cool. Avoid using
unstable, warped, easily tipped or loose-han-
dled pans. Also avoid using pans, especially
small pans, with heavy handles as they could
be unstable and easily tip. Pans that are heavy
to move when fi lled with food may also be ha-
zardous.
•
Be sure utensil is large enough to properly con-
tain food and avoid boilovers. Pan size is parti-
cularly important in deep fat frying. Be sure pan
will accommodate the volume of food that is to
be added as well as the bubble action of fat.
•
To minimize burns, ignition of fl ammable mate-
rials and spillage due to unintentional contact
with the utensil, DO NOT extend handles over
adjacent surface burners. ALWAYS turn pan
handles toward the side or back of the applian-
ce, not out into the room where they are easily
hit or reached by small children.
•
NEVER let a pan boil dry as this could damage
the utensil and the appliance.
•
Follow the manufacturer’s directions when
using oven cooking bags.
•
Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ce-
ramic or glazed utensils are suitable for range-
top surface or oven usage without breaking due
to the sudden change in temperature. Follow
manufacturer’s instructions when using glass.
