In the event that personal clothing or hair catches fire,
drop and roll immediately to extinguish flames.
Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires.
▶
Smother fire or flame or use dry chemical or foam-type
extinguisher.
CAUTION
The oven vents are important for air circulation. Covering
the oven vents will cause the oven to overheat. Refer to
the appliance overview for the location of the oven vents.
▶
Do not obstruct the front oven vent or rear vent trim.
WARNING
Use Only Dry Potholders - Moist or damp potholders on
hot surfaces may result in burns from steam.
▶
Do not let potholders touch hot heating elements.
▶
Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.
Hot oil is capable of causing extreme burns and injury.
▶
Use high heat settings on the cooktop only when nec-
essary.
▶
To avoid bubbling and splattering, heat oil slowly on no
more than a low-medium setting.
▶
Never move a pan of hot oil, especially a deep fat fryer.
Wait until it is cool.
Spills of hot food may cause burns.
▶
Hold the handle of the pan when stirring or turning food.
This helps prevent spills and movement of the pan.
DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR
UNITS. Surface units may be hot even though they are
dark in color. Areas near surface units may become hot
enough to cause burns.
▶
During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing,
potholders, or other flammable materials contact sur-
face units or areas near units until they have had suffi-
cient time to cool. Among these areas are the cooktop
and areas facing the cooktop.
WARNING - Do not place metallic objects such as knives,
forks, spoons, and lids on the cooktop surface since they
can get hot.
DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR
SURFACES OF OVEN - Heating elements may be 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,
potholders, or other flammable materials contact heat-
ing elements or interior surfaces of oven until they have
had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the appli-
ance may become hot enough to cause burns. Among
these surfaces are oven vent openings, surfaces near
these openings and oven doors.
Exercise caution when opening the appliance.
▶
Standing to the side, open the door (or drawer) 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 clean-
ing purposes.
▶
Do not leave open doors unattended.
Clean Cooktop With Caution.
▶
If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot
cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burn.
▶
Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to
a hot surface.
▶
Do not clean the appliance while it is still hot.
WARNING - The pan detection shut-off feature may not
turn off the cooking zone due to spilled food or objects
placed on the cooktop.
▶
Keep the cooktop clean and do not store objects on the
cooking zones.
CAUTION
Use caution when cooking foods with high alcohol content
(e.g. rum, brandy, bourbon) in the oven. Alcohol evapo-
rates at high temperatures. There is a risk of burning as
the alcohol vapors may catch fire in the oven.
▶
Use only small quantities of alcohol in foods, and open
the oven door carefully.
The oven racks and the oven cavity surfaces become very
hot during cooking.
▶
Place oven racks in the desired positions before turning
oven on.
▶
Always use oven mitts when the oven is warm.
▶
If a rack must be moved while the oven is hot, do not let
oven mitts contact hot heating elements.
▶
Use caution when removing oven racks from the lowest
rack position to avoid contact with the hot oven door.
