Operation
 | 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. | |
| WARNING |
NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating of the oven. | |
Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four potentially harmful substances, namely benzene, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by the imperfect combustion of natural or LP gas. Correctly adjusted burners, indicated by a bluish rather than a yellow flame, will minimize imperfect combustion.
Exposure to these substances can be minimized by opening windows or using a ventilation fan or hood.
Let the burner grates and other surfaces cool before touching them.
Never block the vents (air holes) of the range. They provide the air inlet and outlet necessary for the range to operate properly with correct combustion.
Air openings are located at the rear of the cooktop, at the top and bottom of the oven door, and at the bottom of the range.
Never obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air by blocking the oven vent or air intakes. Doing so restricts air to the burner and may result in carbon monoxide poisoning.
Stepping, leaning or sitting on the doors or drawers of this range can result in serious injuries and also cause damage to the range. Do not allow children to climb or play around the range. The weight of a child on an open door may cause the range to tip, resulting in serious burns or other injury.
Never place fingers between the door hinge and front oven frame. Hinge arms are spring mounted. If accidentally hit, the hinge will slam shut against the oven frame and injure your fingers.
Do not leave children alone or unattended where a range is hot or in operation. They could be seriously burned.
Do not let anyone climb, stand or hang on the oven door, warming drawer or cooktop. They could damage the range or tip it over, causing severe personal injury.
Do not stand or place excessive weight on the open oven door. This could tip the range, break the door, or injure the user.
To prevent fire hazard or electrical shock, do not use an adapter plug or an extension cord, or remove the grounding prong from the electrical power cord. Doing so can result in death or serious burns to children or adults.
Make sure that all packaging materials are removed from the range before operating it to prevent fire or smoke damage should the packaging material ignite.
When opening the door of a hot oven, stand away from the range. The hot air and steam that escape can cause burns to hands, face and eyes.
Do not heat food in closed containers. Pressure inside the container could increase and cause the container to burst, resulting in injury.
Do not line oven walls or bottom with aluminum foil or allow them to contact exposed heating elements in the oven. Doing so could create a fire hazard or cause damage to the range.
During oven operation, the upper surface of the drawer cavity becomes hot and may cause burns. Never allow children to remain unsupervised near the oven or cooktop.
Do not put your hand inside the drawer while the oven is operating.
REMOTE OPERATION - This appliance is configurable to allow remote operation at any time. Do not store any flammable materials or temperature sensitive items inside, on top or near surface units of the appliance.
