burners or areas near the burners until they have
had enough time to cool. These areas include
the rangetop and backguard.
DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR

Oven heating elements may be hot though they
are dark in color. Interior surfaces of an oven
may become hot enough to cause burns. During
and after use, do not touch, or let clothing
or other fl ammable 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.

Flammable material could be ignited if brought
in contact with a burner fl ame 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 fi re if they touch a
hot surface.
