IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read all instructions before using this appliance.
Save these instructions for future reference.
• Storage in or on Appliance—Flammable materials should
not be stored in an oven, near surface elements or in the
storage drawer (if equipped).
This includes paper, plastic and
cloth items, such as cookbooks, plasticware and towels, as well
as flammable liquids. Do not store explosives, such as aerosol
cans, on or near the range. Flammable materials may explode
and result in fire or property damage.
Do not store items of interest to children in
the cabinets above a range or on the backguard of a range.
Children climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously
injured.
• Do not leave children alone. Children should not be left
alone or unattended in the area where an appliance is in
use.
They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of
the appliance.
• DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS, AREAS NEAR THESE
UNITS, 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 opening 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.
• 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 elements. Do not use a towel or
other bulky cloth instead of a potholder.
• Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers—Build-up of
pressure may cause the container to burst and result in
injury.
• Remove the oven doors from any unused range if it is to
be stored or discarded.
• IMPORTANT—Do not attempt to operate the range during
a power failure. If the power fails, always turn off the
range.
If the range is not turned off and the power resumes, the
range will begin to operate again. Food left unattended could
catch fire or spoil.
