•Stepping, leaning or sitting on the door or drawers of a range can result in serious injuries and also cause damage to the appliance. DO NOT allow children to climb or play around the range. The weight of a child on an open oven door may cause the range to tip, resulting in serious burns or other injury.
•NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning.
•NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire rack with materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may trap heat, causing a fire hazard.
•Storage in or on appliance — to avoid a fire hazard, flammable materials should not be stored in an oven, near surface units or in the storage drawer, warmer drawer or lower oven. 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.
•DO NOT LEAVE CHILDREN ALONE — to avoid injuries or burns children should not be left alone or unattended in the area where the range is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the range including the storage drawer, lower broiler drawer, lower oven or warmer drawer.
CAUTION
•Do not store items of interest to children in the cabinets above a range or on the backguard of the range. Children climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously injured.
•Do not touch surface burners, areas near these burners, oven burners or interior surfaces of the oven. Both surface and oven burners may be hot even though flames are not visible. Areas near surface burners 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
•Do not use water or flour on grease fires — flour may be explosive. 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 dry potholders - moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholders touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth instead of a potholder.
•Do not heat unopened food containers - buildup of pressure may cause container to burst and result in injury.
•Be sure to always have an appropriate
•Never modify or alter the construction of a range by removing the leveling legs, panels, wire covers,
•Remove the oven door from any unused range if it is to be stored or discarded.
•User servicing — Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recommended in the manuals. All other servicing should be done only by a qualified technician. This may reduce the risk of personal injury and damage to the range.
IMPORTANT
For electric ignition models only: 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. Once the power resumes, reset the clock and oven function.
