Anleitung Zusammenfassung
If rack must be moved when the oven is hot, use potholders and grasp the rack with both hands to reposition. Do not let potholders contact hot oven walls. Remove all cookware from the rack before moving. • Do not heat unopened food containers. Build-up of pressure may cause the container to burst and result in injury. • Keep the oven vent duct unobstructed. The oven vent is located along the bottom of the backgaurd. Touching the surfaces in the vent area when the oven is being operated may cause severe burns. Also, do not place plastic or heat-sensitive items on or near the oven vents. These items could melt or ignite. • The range requires fresh air for proper burner combustion. Do not block the flow of air around the base or beneath the lower front panel of the range. • Use care when operating oven door; Stand to the side of the oven when opening the oven door. Slowly open the door to allow hot air or steam to escape before removing or replacing food. • Know which knob controls each burner. Place a pan of food on the burner before turning it on, and turn the burner off before removing the pan. Always turn to the full LITE position when igniting the top burners. Then adjust the flame size so it does not extend beyond the edge of the cookware. • Cookware handles should be turned inward and not extend over adjacent surface burners, to reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the cookware. • Never leave the surface burners unattended. Boil-over may cause smoking and greasy spills may catch fire or a pan which has boiled dry may melt. • Do not place hands between the spring tension hinge and the oven door frame when you are removing the oven door. You could pinch your fingers. 3 IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION (cont’d) IMPORTANT SAFEGAURDS • Do not use the broiler pan without its insert. The broiler pan and its insert allow dripping fat or grease to drain and be kept away from the high heat of the broiler. Do not cover the insert with foil. Exposed fat or grease could ignite. • Allow parts to cool to room temperature before touching or removing them from the range. When a surface burner is first turned off, the burner and grate are hot enough to cause burns. • Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of fat or grease which could catch fire. Pay particular attention to the area underneath each surface burner. Exhaust fan ventilating hoods and grease filters should be cleaned regularly. Do not allow fat or grease to accumulate. Greasy deposits in the fan could catch fire. Refer to the hood manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning. • Glazed Cookware: Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed cookwares are suitable for rangetop service without breaking, due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the cookware manufacturer’s recommendations for rangetop use. • Do not place plastic salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders, or plastic wrappings on top of the range. These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels, or wooden spoons could catch fire if placed too close to the flame. • Do not use a wok equipped with a metal ring that extends beyond the burner. Because this ring traps heat, the burner and grate could be damaged. Also, the burner may not work properly, creating a carbon monoxide level above current health standards. • Do not clean the oven door gasket. The door gasket is essentially for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage, or move the gasket. • Flexible Connectors: If the gas range/oven is connected to a gas supply with a metal flexible connector, move the range/oven with CAUTION for service or cleaning. Flexible connectors are not intended for repeated bending. Do not allow cleaners to make contact with flexible connectors. The connector and its fittings are designed for use only on the original installation and are not to be reused for another appliance or at another location. • It is good practice for each household to have an appropriate fire extinguisher for use in the event of a house fire. • Disconnect the range from electrical supply before attempting to service or move it. NOTE: The instructions appearing in this owner’s guide are not meant to cover every possible condition and situation that may occur. Common sense and caution must be practiced when operating and maintaining any appliance. ENERGY SAVING TIPS Surface Cooking: • Use lids when surface cooking. A lid traps steam and uses it to speed up the cooking process. If you have a pressure cooker or vegetable steamer, use it. You will save time and cut energy costs. • Use medium-weight, flat bottomed pans that match the flame size. Choose pans made of metals that conduct heat well. • When cooking on a surface burner, use as little water as possible to reduce cooking time. Oven Cooking: • Preheat the oven only when a recipe tells you. Put roasts and casseroles into a cold oven, then turn the oven on. • Opening the o...
