Danger to children
Do not store any object of interest to children on the cooktop or backguard
of the range. Children climbing on the range to reach items could be killed or
seriously injured.
The inner rack of the Split Rack can be dropped if it is not assembled properly.
Place the Inner rack in the proper place on the Outer rack. Always insert the
rack or split rack assembly (if equipped) on the same level of the oven cavity
side.
Keep children away from the door when opening or closing it as they may
bump themselves on the door or catch their fingers in the door.
Keep all packaging materials out of reach of children. Children may play with
them. Failure to dispose of plastic bags could result in suffocation.
Do not leave children alone or unattended in an area where a range is in use.
They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of a range.
Do not let little children touch the range.
The cooktop grates and griddle (if equipped) are heavy and presents a risk of
injury if dropped on a foot. Teach children not to touch or play with grates or
griddle.
Teach children not to touch or play with the controls or any part of the range.
We recommend you utilize the control / door lockout feature to reduce the risk
of mis-use by children.
Before disposing of the range, cut off the power cord to prevent it from being
connected to a power source. Remove the door to prevent children and
animals from getting trapped.
fire
Do not touch oven burners, drawer burners, or interior surfaces of the oven
during or immediately after cooking. Cooking surfaces, grates, cooktop burners
and caps, as well as oven walls may be hot even though they are dark in color.
Interior oven surfaces can become hot enough to cause burns. During and
after use, do not touch or let clothing or other flammable materials contact
oven burners, drawer burners, or interior surfaces of the oven until they have
had sufficient time to cool.
Do not let a pot holder touch a hot heating element. Do not use a towel or
other bulky cloth as a pot holder.
Do not use your range to heat unopened food containers or to dry wet items or
clothing.
Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. Clean vents frequently to avoid grease
buildup. See page 55. There can be slight popping sound during oven cooking.
This sound may occur during the normal oven burner cycling, when the oven
burner flame is extinguished.
