SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Instructions Safety

Operating Instructions

nNever 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.

nUse 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.

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

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

nDo 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.

nFlaming 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.

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

n Be sure all packaging materials are removed from the range before operating it to prevent fire or smoke damage should the packaging material ignite.

n After prolonged use of a range, high floor temperatures may result and many floor coverings will not withstand this kind of use. Never install the range over vinyl tile or linoleum that cannot withstand such type of use. Never install it directly over interior kitchen carpeting.

nDo 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.

nPotentially hot surfaces include the cooktop, areas facing the cooktop, oven vent opening, surfaces near the opening, crevices around the oven door and metal trim parts above

the door.

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

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

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

nNever block the vents (air openings) of the range. They provide the air inlet and outlet that are necessary for the range to operate properly. Air openings are located at the rear of the cooktop, at the top and bottom of the oven door, and at the bottom of the range under the lower oven drawer.

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

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

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

nAlways keep combustible wall coverings, curtains or drapes a safe distance from your range.
