brought in contact with hot surface units or heating elements and may cause
severe burns.
•
Do not touch the cooking area(s) or the immediate surrounding area(s) while
using the range or while it is cooling. Areas adjacent to the burners, oven and
warming drawer may become hot enough to cause burns and my be hot even
though they are off. Never let clothing, potholders, or other flammable materi-
als come in contact with a cooking area until it has cooled.
•
Exercise caution when opening the oven or warming drawer. Standing to the
side, open the door slowly and slightly to let hot air and/or steam escape.
Keep your face clear of the opening and make sure there are no children or
pets near the unit. After the release of hot air and/or steam, proceed with your
cooking. Keep doors shut unless necessary for cooking or cleaning purposes.
Do not leave open doors unattended.
•
Do not heat or warm unopened food containers either in the oven or the

cause injury.
•
Always place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. If a rack must
be moved while oven is hot, do not let potholder contact the heating elements.

Always use dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may
result in burns from steam. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.
