•Storage in or on Appliance—Flammable materials should not

be stored in an oven, near surface units or in the storage

drawer or warmer drawer (if equipped). 

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 range. Flammable materials

may explode and result in fire or property damage.

or unattended in the area where an appliance is in use. 

They

should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the

appliance.

•DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS, AREAS NEAR THESE UNITS,

OVEN HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF THE

OVEN. 

Both surface units and oven heating elements may be hot

even though they are dark in color.  Areas near surface units may

become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not

touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials touch these

areas until they have had sufficient time to cool. Among these

areas are the cooktop, surfaces facing the cooktop, the oven vent

openings and surfaces near these openings, oven door and

window.

•

Wear Proper Apparel—Loose-fitting or hanging garments

should never be worn while using the appliance. 

Do not let

clothing or other flammable materials contact hot surfaces.

•Do Not Use Water or Flour on Grease Fires—Smother the fire

with a pan lid, or use baking soda, a dry chemical or foam-

type extinguisher.

•When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. 

Fat or grease may

catch fire if allowed to become too hot.

•

Use Only Dry Potholders—Moist or damp potholders on  hot

surfaces may result in burns from steam. 

Do not let the

potholders touch hot heating surface units or interior oven

elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth instead of a

potholder.

•Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers—Build-up of pressure

may cause the container to burst and result in injury.

•Remove the oven door from any unused range if it is to be

stored or discarded.

•IMPORTANT—Do not attempt to operate the range during a

power failure.  If the power fails, always turn the range off.

If the range is not turned off and the power resumes, the range

will begin to operate again. Food left unattended could catch fire

or spoil.

 Cold temperatures can damage the  electronic

control. When using the appliance for the first  time, or when the

appliance has not been used for an  extended period of time, be

certain the unit has been in temperatures above 32°F for at least

3 hours before turning  on the power to the appliance.
