SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Safety

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

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

■Do not clean the range with flammable or volatile cleaning fluids.

■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.

■Avoid scratching the glass cooktop with sharp instruments, or with rings and other jewelry.

■Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on the oven door, storage drawer or cooktop. They could damage the range and even tip it over, causing severe personal injury.

CAUTION: Items of interest to children should not be stored in cabinets above a range or on the backsplash of a range—children climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously injured.

WARNING: NEVER use this

appliance as a space heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating of the cooktop or oven.

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

■Large scratches or impacts to glass doors can lead to broken or shattered glass.

■Do not clean the range when the appliance is in use.

■Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while using the appliance.

Be careful when reaching for items stored in cabinets over the range. Flammable

material could be ignited if brought in contact with flame or hot oven surfaces and may cause severe burns.

■Do not store flammable materials in an oven, a range storage drawer or near a cooktop.

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

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

■Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off. Smother a flaming pan on a surface burner 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.

■Flaming 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.

■Flame in the oven can be smothered completely by closing the oven door and turning the control to off or by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

■Let the burner grates and other surfaces cool before touching them or leaving them where children can reach them.

■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 storage drawer or kick panel.

■Do not lift the cooktop. Lifting the cooktop can lead to damage and improper operation of the range.
