IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
English 4
Use high heat settings on the cooktop only when 
necessary. To avoid bubbling and splattering, heat oil 
slowly on no more than a low-medium setting. Hot oil is 
capable of causing extreme burns and injury.
Never move a pan of hot oil, especially a deep fat fryer. 
Wait until it is cool.
Secure all loose garments, etc. before beginning. Tie 
long hair so that it does not hang loose, and do not 
wear loose fitting clothing or hanging garments, such 
as ties, scarves, jewelry, or dangling sleeves.
Avoid reaching or leaning over the appliance. Be aware 
that certain clothing and hair sprays may contain 
flammable chemicals that could be ignited if brought in 
contact with hot surface units or heating elements and 
may cause severe burns.
Do not touch interior surface of the drawer while it is in 
use. The interior of the drawer could become hot 
enough to cause burns. Allow drawer and rack (if 
equipped) to cool before handling.
WARNING: To prevent burns, do not remove drawer 
while hot. Be sure drawer is empty before removing.
Whenever possible, do not operate the ventilation 
system during a cooktop fire. However, do not reach 
through fire to turn it off.
Never move a pan of hot oil, especially a deep fat fryer. 
Wait until it is cool.
Use caution when cooking foods with high alcohol 
content (e.g. rum, brandy, bourbon) in the oven.  
Alcohol evaporates at high temperatures.  There is a 
risk of burning as the alcohol vapors may catch fire in 
the oven.  Use only small quantities of alcohol in foods, 
and open the oven door carefully.
Child Safety
When children become old enough to use the 
appliance, it is the responsibility of the parents or legal 
guardians to ensure that they are instructed in safe 
practices by qualified persons.
Do not allow anyone to climb, stand, lean, sit, or hang 
on any part of an appliance, especially a door, warming 
drawer, or storage drawer. This can damage the 
appliance, and the unit may tip over, potentially causing 
severe injury.
Do not allow children to use this appliance unless 
closely supervised by an adult. Children and pets 
should not be left alone or unattended in the area 
where the appliance is in use. They should never be 
allowed to play in its vicinity, whether or not the 
appliance is in use.
Cleaning Safety
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE: The California Safe 
Drinking and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the 
Governor of California to publish a list of substances 
known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or 
other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to 
warn customers of potential exposure to such 
substances. The burning of gas cooking fuel and the 
elimination of soil during self-cleaning can generate 
small amounts of carbon monoxide.The fiberglass 
insulation in self-clean ovens gives off very small 
amounts of formaldehyde during the first several 
cleaning cycles. California lists formaldehyde as a 
potential cause of cancer. Carbon monoxide is a 
potential cause of reproductive toxicity. Exposure to 
these substances can be minimized by:
1) Providing good ventilation when cooking with gas.
2) Providing good ventilation during and immediately 
after self cleaning the oven.
WARNING
Use this appliance only for its intended use as 
described in this manual. NEVER use this appliance 
as a space heater to heat or warm the room. Doing 
so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and 
overheating the appliance. Never use the appliance 
for storage.
WARNING
NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in the 
oven bottom or cover an entire rack with materials 
such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow 
through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide 
poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat, 
causing a fire hazard.
CAUTION
Items of interest to children should not be stored in 
an appliance, in cabinets above an appliance or on 
the backsplash. Children climbing on an appliance 
to reach items could be seriously injured.
WARNING
State of California Proposition 65 Warnings:
This product contains chemicals known to the State 
of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other 
reproductive harm.
