IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
THE APPLIANCE
- Storage In or On Appliance—
Flammable materials should not be stored in
an oven or microwave, near surface burners
or elements, or in the storage or warmer
drawer (if equipped). This includes paper,
plastic, and cloth items, such as cookbooks,
plastic ware, and towels, as well as
flammable liquids. Do not store explosives,
such as aerosol cans, on or near the appli-
ance.
- Do not leave children alone -
Children should not be left alone or unat-
tended in the area where appliance is in use.
They should never be allowed to sit or stand
on any part of the appliance, including the
storage drawer, lower broiler drawer, warmer
drawer, or lower double oven.
- Do not store items of interest to
children in the cabinets above the appliance
or on the backguards of ranges. Children
climbing on or near the appliance to reach
items could be seriously injured.
- Do not allow children to climb
or play around the appliance. The weight of
a child on an open oven door may cause the
appliance to tip, resulting in serious burns or
other injury. An open drawer when hot may
cause burns.
- Stepping, leaning, or sitting on
the door or drawers of this appliance can
result in serious injuries and also cause
damage to the appliance.
- Never cover any slots, holes, or
passages in the oven bottom or cover an
entire oven rack with any materials, such as
aluminum foil or aftermarket oven liners.
Doing so blocks air flow through the oven
and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning.
Aluminum foil and other liners may trap heat,
causing a fire hazard.
- Do not use oven or warmer
drawer (if equipped) for storage.
- Never use your appliance as a
space heater to heat or warm the room.
Doing so may result in carbon monoxide
poisoning and overheating of the appliance.
- When heating fat or grease,
watch it closely. Grease may catch fire if it
becomes too hot.
- Do not use water or flour on
grease fires. Smother fire or flame or use dry
chemical or foam-type extinguisher. Cover
the fire with a pan lid or use baking soda.
- Use dry potholders. Moist or
damp potholders on hot surfaces may result
in burns from steam. Do not let potholders
touch hot cooking areas. Do not use towels or
other bulky cloths.
- Do not heat unopened food
containers - Build-up of pressure may cause
container to burst and result in injury.
- 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 touch surface burners or
elements, areas near these burners or
elements, interior surfaces of the oven, or the
warmer drawer (if equipped). Surface
burners and elements may be hot even
though they appear cool. Areas near surface
burners and elements 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 are cool. These areas may include the
cooktop, surfaces facing the cooktop, oven
vent areas, oven door, and oven window.
