/ Warnings
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.
