Important Safety Information
Save these instructions for future reference.
To avoid risk of electrical shock, personal
injury, or death, make sure your range
has been properly grounded and always
disconnect it from main power supply before
servicing.
Do not touch cook top burners or areas near
burners
Gas burners may be hot even if they have
been off for some time. Areas near the gas
burners may become hot enough to cause
burns. During and after use, do not touch,
or let clothing touch or other fl ammable
materials contact the burners or areas near
the burners until they have had enough time
to cool. These areas include the rangetop
and backguard.
DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR
INTERIOR SURFACES OF OVENS
Oven and Broiler heating elements may be
hot though they are dark in color. Interior
surfaces of an oven or broiler may become
hot enough to cause burns. During and after
use, do not touch, or let clothing or other
fl ammable materials touch heating elements
or interior surfaces of oven until they have
had enough time to cool.
Other range surfaces that may become hot
enough to cause burns are the oven door
and oven vent at the base of the range
splashback.
Wear Suitable Clothing
Never wear loose-fi tting or hanging clothes
while using the range. Be careful when
reaching for items stored in cabinets over the
cooktop. Flammable material could be ignited
if brought in contact with a burner fl ame or
hot surface and may cause severe burns.
Use Only Dry Potholders or Oven Gloves
Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces
may result in burns from steam. Never let a
potholder touch hot heating elements.
Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in
place of a glove. They might catch fi re if they
touch a hot surface.
Use dry oven gloves when applicable - using
damp gloves might result in steam burns
when you touch a hot surface. Never operate
the range with wet hands.
