turned off and the appliance is cool. The aerosol gas and
chemicals in such cleaners could, in the presence of heat, ignite
or cause metal parts to corrode.
Do not store flammables near cook top
Flammable materials should not be stored in an oven or near
the cook top. An accident could cause a serious fire.
6)
Poisoning Hazard
Never cover any slots, holes or passages in
the oven bottom or cover an entire rack or
the oven floor with materials such as
aluminum foil. Doing so blocks airflow
through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide
poisoning.
Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat,
causing a
fire
hazard.
Clean the appliance 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. Follow the directions of
the cleaner
manufacturer.
Never use this appliance as a space heater to heat or
warm
the room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide
poisoning
and overheating of the appliance.
Failure to follow this advice may result in poisoning or
death.
7)
Hot Surface Hazard
Accessible parts may become hot during
use.
Do not touch burners, areas near burners,
the grill, griddle, grease drip- pans,
heating elements or interior surfaces of oven. These may be
hot enough to cause burns even though they are dark in
color. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or
other flammable materials contact these parts and surfaces
until they have had sufficient time to cool. Other parts and
surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to cause
burns - among these areas are the grates, back trim and
oven
vents at the back of the cook top, front edge, surfaces
adjacent to the cook top, and the oven door.
Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot
surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let
potholder
touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or
other
bulky cloth.
Let hot grease cool before attempting to handle it. Failure to
follow this advice could result in burns and scalds.
