USER SERVICING:
Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically
recommended in this owner’s guide. Only a qualified technician should do all other servicing.
This will reduce the risk of personal injury and damage to the range.
Storage in or on appliance:
Flammable materials should not be stored in an oven, near
surface burners or in the broiler section. This includes paper, plastic and cloth items, such as
cookbooks, plastic ware and towels, as well as flammable liquids. Do not use the oven for
storage. Do not store explosives, such as aerosol cans, on or near the range.
Remove the oven door from any unused range if it is to be stored or discarded.
Stepping, leaning or sitting on the doors or broiler section of this range can result in serious
injuries and cause damage to the range.
The following situations could cause bodily injury or property damage.
DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE BURNERS, AREAS NEAR THESE BURNERS, OVEN BURNERS OR
INTERIOR SURFACES OF THE OVEN.
Both surface burners and oven burners may be hot even
though off. Areas near surface burners 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
have had sufficient time to cool. Among these areas are the range, surfaces facing the range,
the oven vent openings and surfaces near these openings, oven door and windows.
NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to heat or warm the room.
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 surface burners or
interior surfaces of the oven until they have had sufficient time to cool.
Never modify or alter the construction of the range.
Do not remove leveling legs, panels, wire
covers, anti-tip brackets or any other permanent part of the product.
When heating fat or grease, watch it closely.
Fat or grease may catch fire if allowed to
become too hot.
Do not use water or flour on grease fires.
Smother the fire with a pan lid, baking soda or use
a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
Operation of the Surface Burners.
When the burners are operated for the first time, a small
amount of smoke may be generated due to tape residue or manufacturing lubrication,
this is
not dangerous.
Operate the burners for about five minutes to rid the burners of this material
before cooking.
Use only dry potholders.
Wet or damp potholders on hot surfaces could result in burns from
steam. Do not let the potholder touch hot heating areas. Do not use a towel or other bulky
cloth instead of a potholder.
NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire rack
with materials such as aluminum foil.
Doing so blocks air flow through the oven and
may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat,
causing a fire hazard. Refer to the cleaning section of this manual for more information on the
use of aluminum foil.
