Important safety information
• 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.

malfunctioning, or missing parts.
• Do not use
the range as a space heater. Use the range for cooking only.
• Do not use
oven cleaners or oven liners in or around any part of the oven.
• Use
only dry pot holders. Pot holders with moisture in them can release steam
