To Prevent Fire or Smoke
Damage
Be sure all packing materials are removed from the
appliance
before
operating it.
Keep area around appliance clear and free from
combustible materials. Flammable materials
should not
be stored in an oven.
Many plastics are vulnerable to heat. Keep plastics away
from parts of the appliance that may become warm or
hot.
Do not
leave plastic items on the cooktop as they
may melt or soften if left too close to the vent or a
lighted surface burner.
To prevent grease fires,
do not
let cooking grease or
other flammable materials accumulate in or near the
appliance.
If appliance is installed near a window, proper
precautions should be taken to prevent curtains from
blowing over burners.
NEVER
leave any items on the cooktop. The hot air from
the vent may ignite flammable items and may increase
pressure in closed containers which may cause them to
burst.
Many aerosol-type spray cans are EXPLOSIVE when
exposed to heat and may be highly flammable. Avoid
their use or storage near an appliance.
To eliminate the hazard of reaching over hot surface
burners, cabinet storage
should not
be provided
directly above a unit. If storage is provided, it should be
limited to items which are used infrequently and which
are safely stored in an area subjected to heat from an
appliance. Temperatures may be unsafe for some items,
such as volatile liquids, cleaners or aerosol sprays.
In Case of Fire
Turn off appliance and ventilating hood to avoid
spreading the flame. Extinguish flame, then turn on
hood to remove smoke and odor.
•
Cooktop:
Smother fire or flame in a pan with a lid or
cookie sheet.
NEVER
pick up or move a flaming pan.
•
Oven:
Smother fire or flame by closing the oven door.
Do not
use water on grease fires. Use baking soda, a
dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher to smother fire
or flame.
CAUTION
NEVER
store items of interest to children in cabinets
above an appliance or on backguard of a range.
Children climbing on the appliance door to reach items
could be seriously injured.
NEVER
leave children alone or unsupervised near the
appliance when it is in use or is still hot. Children
should
never
be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the
appliance as they could be injured or burned.
Children must be taught that the appliance and utensils in
it can be hot. Let hot utensils cool in a safe place, out of
reach of small children. Children should be taught that an
appliance is not a toy. Children
should not
be allowed to
play with controls or other parts of the appliance.
About Your Appliance
Child Safety
WARNING
NEVER
use appliance door as a step stool or seat as this
may result in possible tipping of the appliance and serious
injuries.
NEVER
use this appliance as a space heater to heat
or warm a room. Doing so may result in carbon
monoxide poisoning and overheating of the oven.
NEVER
cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven
bottom or cover the entire rack with materials such as
aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the
oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning.
Aluminum foil may also trap heat, causing a fire
hazard.
NEVER
obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation
air by blocking the oven vent or air intakes. Doing so
restricts air to the burners and may result in carbon
monoxide poisoning.
Avoid touching oven vent area while oven is on and for
several minutes after oven is turned off. Some parts of
the vent and surrounding area become hot enough to
cause burns. After oven is turned off,
do not
touch the
oven vent or surrounding areas until they have had
sufficient time to cool.
Other potentially hot surfaces include cooktop, areas
facing the cooktop, oven vent, surface near the vent
opening, oven door, area around the oven door and oven
window.
