10. Use dry pot holders. Moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces
may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholder touch hot
surface areas. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.
11.
DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR UNITS.
Surface areas may become hot enough to cause burns. Surface
elements may be hot even though they are dark in color. During
and after use, do not touch or let flammable materials contact
heating elements until they have had time to cool.
12. To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and
spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of
a utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward toward
the center of the range, and so that it does not extend over
adjacent burners.
13. Keep area clean and free from combustible material, gasoline, and
other flammable liquids. Never use your oven as a storage space.
Combustible items (paper, plastic, etc.) may ignite and metallic
items may become hot and cause burns.
14. A risk of tip-over may result if the appliance is not installed in
accordance with installation instructions including excessive
loading of the oven door or from abnormal usage.
15. Storage cabinet area above the unit must be 36” (91.4 cm) and
cannot project more than 13” (33.0 cm) outward from the rear wall.
Beware of potential hazards associated with retrieving items from
such cabinets when the unit is in operation.
16. Do not heat unopened food containers; buildup of pressure may
cause the container to explode and result in injury.
17. Never sit, step, stand, or lean on any part of the oven, or injury
may result.
18. Use care when opening oven door. Let hot air or steam escape
before removing or replacing food. Always position oven racks in
desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved while
oven is hot, do not let potholder contact hot heating element in
oven.
19. Do not clean door gasket. It is essential for a good, tight seal.
Care should be taken not to rub, damage, or move the gasket.
20. No commercial oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating of
any kind should be used in or around any part of the oven.

21. Before self-cleaning the oven, remove broiler pan, broiler grid, oven
racks, rack supports, and other utensils. Do not use your oven to
clean other parts. A fan noise should be hear sometime during the
cleaning cycle, if not, call service before self-cleaning again.
WARNING:
When self-cleaning, surfaces may get hotter than
usual, therefore, children should be kept away.
22.
WARNING:
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 airflow through the oven and may cause
carbon monoxide poisioning. Aluminum foil linings may also trap
heat, causing a fire hazard.
23.
DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACES
OR OVEN.
Heating elements may become hot even though they
are dark in color. Interior surfaces of an oven become hot enough
to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing
or other flammable materials contact heating elements or interior
surfaces of oven until they have had sufficient time to cool. Other
surfaces of the oven may become hot enough to cause burns, such
as the oven vent opening, the surface near the vent opening, and
the oven door window.
24. Clean rangetop with caution. If a wet sponge or cloth is used to
wipe spills on hot cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burn.
Some cleansers can produce noxious fumes if applied to hot
surface.
25. Do not cook on a broken rangetop. Spillovers or cleaning solution
may penetrate a broken glasstop and create a risk of electrical
shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately should your
rangetop become broken.
