SECTION ONE: GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
PRECAUTIONS
WARNING:
  The appliance
is for cooking. Based on safety
considerations, never use the
oven or cooktop to warm or heat
a room. Also, such use can
damage the cooktop or oven
parts.
When using the cooktop: DO
NOT TOUCH THE BURNER
GRATES OR THE IMMEDIATE
SURROUNDING AREA. Areas
adjacent to the burners may
become hot enough to cause
burns.
Never leave the cooktop
unattended when using high
flame settings. Boil overs cause
smoking and greasy spillovers that
may ignite. More importantly, if
the burner flames are smothered,
unburned gas will escape into the
room. See Inside Front Cover
regarding gas leaks.
Only certain types of glass, heat-
proof glass-ceramic, ceramic,
earthenware, or other glazed
utensils are suitable for cooktop
use. This type of utensil may break
with sudden temperature
changes. Use only on low or
medium heat settings according
to the utensil manufacturer’s
directions.
Do not heat unopened food
containers; a buildup of pressure
may cause the container to  burst.
During cooking, set the burner
control so that the flame heats
only the bottom of the pan and
does not extend beyond the
bottom of the pan.
Avoid using high flame setting
with a pan larger than the grate or
with one that spans more than
one burner, such as a griddle, for
prolonged periods of time. This
can result in poor combustion that
generates harmful by-products.
Use caution to insure that drafts like
those from forced air vents or fans do
not blow flammable material toward
the flames or push the flames so that
they extend beyond the edges of the
pot.
Always use utensils that have flat
bottoms, large enough to cover
the burner. The use of undersized
utensils could expose a portion of
the flame and may result in ignition
of clothing.
To minimize burns, ignition of
flammable materials and
unintentional spillovers, position
handles of utensils inward so they
do not extend over adjacent work
areas, cooking areas, or the edge
of the cooktop.
Hold the handle of the pan to
prevent movement of the utensil
when stirring or turning food.
DO NOT use pots or pans on the
grill section.
Do not use the grill for cooking
excessively fatty meats or
products which promote flare-
ups.
The optional cutting board
accessory must be removed
before operating the griddle
beneath or burners adjacent to it.
GREASE IS FLAMMABLE. Let hot
grease cool before attempting to
handle it. Avoid letting grease
deposits collect. Clean after each
use.
For proper lighting and
performance of the burners, keep
the igniter ports clean. It is
necessary to clean these when
there is a boil over or when the
burner does not light even though
the electronic igniters click. See
Page 38.

WARNING
After a spill or boil over, turn
off the burner and clean around
the burner and burner port.
After cleaning, check for proper
operation.
Clean the cooktop with caution.
Avoid steam burns; do not use a
wet sponge or cloth to clean the
cooktop while it is hot. Some
cleaners produce noxious fumes
if applied to a hot surface. Follow
directions provided by the cleaner
manufacturer.
Be sure all cooktop controls are
turned off and the cooktop is cool
before using any type of aerosol
cleaner on or around the cooktop.
The chemical that produces the
spraying action could, in the
presence of heat, ignite or cause
metal parts to corrode.
When using the oven: DO NOT
TOUCH THE INFRARED
BURNERS, THE INTERIOR
SURFACES OF THE OVEN OR
THE EXTERIOR AREA
IMMEDIATELY SURROUND-
ING  THE DOOR.  Interior oven
surfaces become hot enough to
cause burns. The heat deflector,
which deflects heat away from the
cooktop and the trim on the top
and sides of the oven door, will
also be hot when the oven is in
use.
Place oven racks in desired
position while oven is cool. If a
rack must be moved while the
oven is hot, do not let the
potholders contact the infrared
burner.
Use care when opening the oven
door; let hot air or steam escape
before removing or replacing
foods.
Before self-cleaning the oven,
remove the broiler pan, oven racks
and any other utensils, and excess
spillage.
