SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Do not operate the oven or cooktop controls if the glass is broken. Food splatter or cleaning solution may penetrate a broken control panel or cooktop and create a risk of electrical shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately should your glass control panel or cooktop become broken.

Safety Instructions

■Do not store flammable materials in an oven or near the cooktop.

■ CAUTION: Items of interest to children should not be stored in cabinets above a range or on the back of a range—children climbing on the range

to reach items could be seriously injured.

■Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while using the appliance. Be careful when reaching for items stored over the range. Flammable material could be ignited if brought in contact with hot surface units or heating elements and may cause severe burns.

■Use only dry pot holders—moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let pot holders touch hot surface units or heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of pot holders.

■Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off. Smother a flaming pan on a surface unit by covering the pan completely with

a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

Flaming grease outside a pan can be put out by covering it with baking soda or, if available, by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

Flame in the oven can be smothered completely by closing the oven door and turning the oven off or by using a multi- purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

■For your safety, never use your appliance for warming or heating the room.

■Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate in or near the range.

■Do not touch the surface units, the heating elements or the interior surface of the oven. These surfaces may be hot enough to burn even though they are dark in color. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact the surface units, areas nearby the surface units or any interior area of the oven; allow sufficient time for cooling first.

Potentially hot surfaces include the cooktop, areas facing the cooktop, oven vent opening, surfaces near the opening, crevices around the oven door.

REMEMBER: The inside surface of the oven may be hot when the door is opened.

■Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

■Keep the hood and grease filters clean to maintain good venting and to avoid grease fires.

■Teach children not to play with the controls or any other part of the range.

■Always keep dish towels, dish cloths, pot holders and other linens a safe distance from your range.

■Always keep wooden and plastic utensils and canned food a safe distance from your range.

COOK MEAT AND POULTRY THOROUGHLY…

Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 70°C (160°F) and poultry to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 80°C (180°F). Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against foodborne illness.
