IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Important Safety Notice - The California Safe Drinking
Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the
governor of California to publish a list of substances
known to cause cancer, birth defects, or other repro-
ductive harms, and requires businesses to warn
customers of potential exposures to such substances.
•
Do Not Leave Children Alone - Children should
not be left alone or unattended in the area where
appliance is in use. They should never be
allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appli-
ance, including the storage drawer, lower broiler
drawer, warmer drawer, or lower double oven.
•
Do not store items of interest to children near or
in cabinets above appliance. Children climbing
on the range to reach items could be seriously
injured.
•
Stepping, leaning, or sitting on the door or
drawers of a oven can result in serious injuries
and also cause damage to the appliance. Do not
allow children to climb or play around the oven.
The weight of a child on an open oven door may
cause the oven to tip, resulting in serious burns
or other injury.
•
Never cover any slots, holes, or passages in the
oven bottom or cover an entire oven rack with
materials, such as aluminum foil or any other
oven liners or materials. Aluminum foil linings or
other oven linings may trap heat, causing a fire
hazard.
WARNING
•
When heating fat or grease, watch it closely.
Grease may catch fire if it becomes too hot.
•
Do not use water or flour on grease fires.
Smother fire or flame or use a dry chemical or
foam-type extinguisher. Cover the fire with a pan
lid or use baking soda.
•
Use dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on
hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do
not let potholders touch hot cooking areas. Do
not use towels or other bulky cloths.
•
Do not heat unopened food containers. Build-up
of pressure may cause container to burst and
result in injury.
•
Wear proper apparel. Loose-fitting or hanging
garments should never be worn while using the
appliance.
•
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
or other flammable materials contact heating
elements or interior surfaces of oven until they
have had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces
of the appliance may become hot enough to
cause burns - among these surfaces are oven
vent openings and surfaces near these
openings, oven doors, and windows of oven
doors.
