This symbol will help you to situations that may cause bodily injury or property damage.
UNITS, OVEN HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACES
OF THE OVEN.
Both surface units and oven heating elements
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 or other flammable materials
touch these areas until they have had sufficient time to cool.
Among these areas are the cooktop, surfaces facing the cooktop,
the oven vent openings and surfaces near these openings, oven
door and window.
• Wear Proper Apparel — Loose-fitting or hanging garments
should never be worn while using the appliance.
Do not let
clothing or other flammable materials contact hot surfaces.
Never use your appliance for warming or
heating the room.
• Do Not Use Water or Flour on Grease Fires—Smother the
fire with a pan lid, or use baking soda, a dry chemical or
foam-type extinguisher.
• When heating fat or grease, watch it closely.
Fat or grease may
catch fire if allowed to become too hot.
• Use Only Dry Potholders — Moist or damp potholders on hot
surfaces may result in burns from steam.
Do not let the
potholders touch hot heating surface units or interior oven
elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth instead of a
potholder.
• Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers—Build-up of pres-
sure may cause the container to burst and result in injury.
• Remove the oven door from any unused range if it is to be
stored or discarded.
• IMPORTANT—Do not attempt to operate the oven during a
power failure. If the power fails, always turn the oven off.
If
the oven is not turned off and the power resumes, the oven will
begin to operate again. Food left unattended could catch fire or
spoil.
Electronic controllers can be damaged by cold
temperatures. When you use your range for the first time, or
if it has not been used for a long period of time, make sure that
it has been exposed to a temperature above 0°C/32°F for at
