SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
COOK MEAT AND POULTRY THOROUGHLY…
Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160° F and poultry to at least an
INTERNAL temperature of 180°F. Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against foodborne illness.
Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments
while using the appliance. Be careful when
reaching for items stored over the range.
Flammable material could be ignited if brought
in contact with hot surface units or heating
elements and may cause severe burns.
Use only dry pot holders-moist or damp pot
holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from
steam. Do not let pot holders touch hot surface
units or heating elements. Do not use a towel or
other bulky cloth.
For your safety never use your appliance for
warming or heating the room.
Do not let cooking grease or other flammable
materials accumulate in or near the range.
Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up
a flaming pan. Turn the controls off.
Smother a flaming pan on a surface unit by
covering the pan completely with a well-
fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Use a
multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire
extinguisher.
Flaming grease outside a pan can be put out by
covering it with baking soda or, if available, by
using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-
type fire extinguisher.
Flame in the oven can be smothered completely
by closing the door and turning the oven off or
by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-
type fire extinguisher.
Do not touch the surface units, the heating
elements or the interior surface of the oven.
These surfaces may be hot enough to burn
even though they are dark in color. During and
after use, do not touch or let clothing or other
flammable materials contact, the surface units,
areas nearby the surface units or any interior
area of the oven; allow sufficient time for
cooling first.
Potentially hot surfaces include the cooktop,
areas facing the cooktop, oven vent opening,
surfaces near the opening, crevices around the
oven door and metal trim parts above the door.
REMEMBER:
The inside surface of the oven
may be hot when the door is opened.
Do not store or use combustible materials,
gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or any other
appliance.
Keep the hood and grease filters clean
to maintain good venting and to avoid
grease fires.

the storage drawer.
