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

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.

while using the range. Be careful when reaching
for items stored in cabinets over the cooktop.
Flammable material could be ignited if brought

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.
