Many aerosol-type spray cans are EXPLO-
SIVE when exposed to heat and may be
highly flammable. Avoid their use or stor-
age near an appliance.
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 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 sub-
jected to heat from an appliance. Tem-
peratures may be unsafe for some items,
such as volatile liquids, cleaners or aerosol
sprays.
Child Safety
NEVER
leave children alone or unsuper-
vised near the appliance when it is in use
or is still hot.
NEVER
allow children to sit or stand on
any part of the appliance as they could be
injured or burned.
Children must be taught that the appli-
ance 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 con-
trols or other parts of the unit.
CAUTION: NEVER
store items of inter-
est to children in cabinets above an appli-
ance or on backguard of a range. Children
climbing on the appliance door to reach
items could be seriously injured.
About Your
Appliance
NEVER
use appliance as a space heater to
heat or warm a room to prevent potential
hazard to the user and damage to the
appliance. Also, do not use the cooktop or
oven as a storage area for food or cooking
utensils.
Do not obstruct the flow of combustion
and ventilation air by blocking the oven
vent or air intakes. Restriction of air flow
to the burner prevents proper performance
and increases carbon monoxide emission
to unsafe levels.
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, surfaces near the vent opening, oven
door and areas around door and window.
WARNING:
NEVER
use appliance door,
or drawer, if equipped, as a step stool or
seat as this may result in possible tipping
of the appliance, damage to the appliance,
and serious injuries.
Do not touch a hot oven light bulb with a
damp cloth as the bulb could break. Should
the bulb break, disconnect power to the
appliance before removing bulb to avoid
electrical shock.
Cooking Safety
Always place a pan on a surface burner
before turning it on. Be sure you know
which knob controls which surface burner.
Make sure the correct burner is turned on
and that the burner has ignited. When
cooking is completed, turn burner off be-
fore removing pan to prevent exposure to
burner flame.
Always adjust surface burner flame so
that it does not extend beyond the bottom
edge of the pan. An excessive flame is
hazardous, wastes energy and may dam-
age the appliance, pan or cabinets above
the appliance.
NEVER
leave a surface cooking operation
unattended especially when using a high
heat setting or when deep fat frying.
Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
spillovers may ignite. Clean up greasy
spills as soon as possible. Do not use high
heat for extended cooking operations.
NEVER
heat an unopened container on
the surface burner or in the oven. Pressure
build-up may cause container to burst
resulting in serious personal injury or dam-
age to the appliance.
Use dry, sturdy pot holders. Damp pot
holders may cause burns from steam.
Dishtowels or other substitutes should
never be used as pot holders because they
can trail across hot surface burners and
ignite or get caught on appliance parts.
Always let quantities of hot fat used for
deep fat frying cool before attempting to
move or handle.
Do not let cooking grease or other flam-
mable materials accumulate in or near the
appliance, hood or vent fan. Clean hood
frequently to prevent grease from accu-
mulating on hood or filter. When flaming
foods under the hood turn the fan on.
NEVER
wear garments made of flam-
mable material or loose fitting or long-
sleeved apparel while cooking. Clothing
may ignite or catch utensil handles.
Always place oven racks in the desired
positions while oven is cool. Slide oven
rack out to add or remove food, using dry,
sturdy pot holders. Always avoid reach-
ing into the oven to add or remove food. If
a rack must be moved while hot, use a dry
pot holder. Always turn the oven off at the
end of cooking.
Use care when opening the oven door. Let
hot air or steam escape before moving or
replacing food.
