IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
(continued)
•Do not leave children alone or unattended where a range is hot or in operation. They could be seriously burned.
•Teach children not to play with the controls or any other part of the range.
•Never leave the oven door open when you are not watching the range.
•Keep the range clean and free of accumulation of grease or spillovers which may ignite.
•Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on the door, broiler drawer or range top. They could damage the range and even tip it over, causing severe personal injury.
•Let the burner grates and other surfaces cool before touching them or leaving them where children can reach them.
•Never wear loose fitting or hanging garments while using the appliance. Be careful when reaching for items stored in cabinets over the cooktop. Flammable material could be ignited if brought in contact with flame or hot oven surfaces and may cause severe burns.
•For your safety, never use your appliance for warming or heating the room.
• Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Turn
the controls OFF. Smother a flaming pan on the surface unit by covering the pan completely with
Flaming grease outside a pan can be put out

•When cooking pork, follow the directions exactly and always cook the meat to an internal temperature of at least 170°F. This assures that, in the remote possibility that trichina may be present in the meat, it will be killed and the meat will be safe to eat.
Cleaning Your Range
•Clean only parts listed in this Use and Care Guide.
•Keep the range clean and free of accumulations of grease or spillovers, which may ignite.
Surface Cooking
•Always use the LITE position (on electric ignition models) or the HI position (on standing pilot models) when igniting top burners and make sure the burners have ignited.
•Never leave the surface burners unattended at high flame settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.
•Adjust the top burner flame size so it does not extend beyond the edge of the cookware. Excessive flame is hazardous.
• Use only dry pot
•Do not let pot holders come near open flames when lifting cookware. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of a pot holder. Such cloths can catch fire on a hot burner.
•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 foods a safe distance away from your range.
•To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of flammable materials and spillage, turn cookware handles toward the side or back of the range without extending over adjacent burners.
•Never block the vents (air openings) of the range. They provide the air inlet and outlet that are necessary for the range to operate properly with correct combustion. 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 kick panel.
