Proper Installation - La Cornue AlberTine 90 Mode D'emploi

The specification of this range should not be altered.
This appliance is heavy, take care when moving it.
When the range is not in use ensure that the control knobs
are in the off position.
To Prevent Fire or Smoke Damage
Before using the range make sure all the packing materials
have been removed.
Always keep the area around the range free from combustible
materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapours and liquids.
If the range is installed near a window, proper precautions
should be taken to prevent curtains from blowing over the
burners.
NEVER leave any items on the range cooktop. The

hot air from an oven vent may ignite flammable
items and may increase pressure in closed
containers, which may cause them to burst. Many
aerosol-type spray cans are EXPLOSIVE when
exposed to heat and may be highly flammable.
Avoid their use or storage near an appliance.
Many plastics will burn and most are damaged by heat. Keep
plastic items away from parts of the range that may become
warm or hot. Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop as
they may burn, melt or soften if left too close to a vent or a
lighted burner.
Storage should not be installed directly above a range. If
anything is stored above the range, it should be limited to
infrequently used items, which can be safely stored in an area
subjected to heat from a range. Temperatures may be unsafe
for some items such as volatile liquids, cleaners or aerosol
sprays.
Destroy the carton and plastic bags after unpacking the
range. Never allow children to play with packaging material.
 DO NOT leave children alone.
Never cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven bottom
or cover an entire rack with materials such as aluminium foil.
Doing so blocks air flow through the oven. Aluminium foil
linings may also trap heat causing a fire hazard.
User servicing – Do not repair or replace any part of the
appliance unless specifically recommended in this User
Manual.
 DO NOT use the oven for storage.
Flammable materials should not be stored in an oven, the
range storage drawer or near the cooktop burners. This
includes paper, plastic and cloth items, such as cookbooks,
plasticware and towels, as well as flammable liquids. Do
not store explosives, such as aerosol cans, on or near the
appliance.
Flammable materials may explode and result in fire or
property damage. To avoid risk of electrical shock, personal
injury, or death, make sure your range has been properly
grounded and always disconnect it from main power supply
before servicing.
Do not touch cook top burners or areas near burners.
Gas burners may be hot even if they have been off for
some time. Areas near the gas burners may become hot
enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch,
or let clothing touch or other flammable materials contact
the burners or areas near the burners until they have had
enough time to cool. These areas include the rangetop and
backguard.
DO NOT touch the heating elements or interior

surfaces of the oven.
Oven heating elements may be hot though they are dark
in colour. Interior surfaces of an oven may become hot
enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch,
or let clothing or other flammable materials touch heating
elements or interior surfaces of oven until they have had
enough time to cool.
Other range surfaces that may become hot enough to cause
burns are the oven door and oven vent at the base of the
range splashback.
Wear Suitable Clothing
Never wear loose-fitting or hanging clothes while using the
range. Be careful when reaching for items stored in cabinets
over the cooktop. Flammable material could be ignited if
brought into contact with a burner flame or hot surface and
may cause severe burns.
Use Only Dry Potholders or Oven Gloves
Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in
burns from steam. Never let a potholder touch hot heating
elements.
Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of a glove.
They might catch fire if they touch a hot surface.
Use dry oven gloves when applicable – using damp gloves
might result in steam burns when you touch a hot surface.
Never operate the range with wet hands.

Proper Installation

Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by
a qualified technician.
Use the Right Size Pan
This appliance is equipped with burners of different sizes.
Use utensils with flat bottoms. Do not use unstable pans and
position the handles away from the edge of the cooktop.
Make sure the flames are under the pans. It's not safe to let
the flames burn up the sides of the pan; the handle may get
too hot.
