• Do not attempt to lift the cooktop. Doing so may damage the gas tubing to the
surface burners resulting in a gas leak and risk of fire.
• When disabling Lock Control (on some models) make sure the surface controls are
set to the OFF position. This will prevent unintended gas flow from the burners.
• Do not use aluminum foil to cover the grates or line any part of the cooktop.
Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning, overheating of the cooktop
surfaces, or a potential fire hazard.
Oven safety instructions
WARNING:
NEVER cover any slots, holes, or passages in the oven bottom or
cover an entire rack with materials such as aluminum foil or oven liners. Doing so
blocks air flow through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning.
Never place foil or oven liners on the oven bottom. They can trap heat causing
risk of smoke or fire.
WARNING
• Stand away from the range when opening the oven door. Hot air or steam which
escapes can cause burns to hands, face and/or eyes.
• Never place cooking utensils, pizza or baking stones or any type of foil or liner on
the oven floor. These items can trap heat or melt, resulting in damage to the
product and risk of shock, smoke or fire.
• Place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved while
oven is hot, be careful to avoid touching hot surfaces.
• Do not leave items such as paper, cooking utensils, or food in the oven when not
in use. Items stored in an oven can ignite.
• Do not leave items on the cooktop near the oven vent. Items may overheat
resulting in a risk of fire or burns.
• Never broil with door open. Open-door broiling is not permitted due to overhea-
ting of control knobs.
