Cooktop: Smother fire or flame in a pan with a lid or cookie sheet.

NEVER pick up or move a flaming pan.

Oven: Smother fire or flame by closing the oven door.

Do not use water on grease fires. Use baking soda, a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher to smother fire or flame.

Child Safety

NEVER allow children to sit or stand on any part of appliance as they could be injured or burned.

CAUTION

NEVER store items of interest to children in cabinets above an appliance or on backguard of a range. Children climbing on appliance, door or drawer to reach items could damage appliance or be burned or seriously injured.

Children must be taught that the appliance and utensils in or on it can be hot. Let hot utensils cool in a safe place, out of reach of small chil- dren. Children should be taught that an appli- ance is not a toy.Children should not be allowed to play with controls or other parts of the unit.

About Your Appliance

WARNING

NEVER use appliance door, or drawer, if equipped, as a step stool or seat as this may result in possible tipping of the appli- ance, damage to the appliance, and seri- ous injuries.

NEVER use appliance as a space heater to heat or warm a room to prevent potential haz- ard to the user and damage to the appliance. Also, do not use the cooktop or oven as a storage area for food or cooking utensils.

Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air by blocking the oven vent or air intakes.Restriction of air flow to the burner prevents proper performance and increases carbon monoxide emission to unsafe levels.

The oven vent is located at the base of the control panel.

Avoid touching oven vent area while oven is on and for several minutes after oven is turned off. Some parts of the vent and surrounding area become hot enough to cause burns. Af- ter oven is turned off, do not touch the oven vent or surrounding areas until they have had sufficient time to cool.

Do not touch a hot oven light bulb with a damp cloth as the bulb could break. Should the bulb break, disconnect power to the appliance be- fore removing bulb to avoid electrical shock.

Other potentially hot surfaces include: Cooktop, areas facing the cooktop, oven vent and surfaces near the vent opening, oven door, areas around the door and oven win- dow.

Cooking Safety

Always place a pan on a surface burner be- fore turning it on. Be sure you know which knob controls which surface burner. Make sure the correct burner is turned on and that the burner has ignited.When cooking is com- pleted, turn burner off before removing pan to prevent exposure to burner flame.

Always adjust surface burner flame so that it does not extend beyond the bottom edge of the pan. An excessive flame is hazardous, wastes energy and may damage the appli- ance, pan or cabinets above the appliance.

NEVER leave a surface cooking operation unattended especially when using a high heat setting or when deep fat frying. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers may ig- nite. Clean up greasy spills as soon as pos- sible.Do not use high heat for extended cook- ing operations.

NEVER heat an unopened container on the surface burner or in the oven. Pressure build- up may cause container to burst resulting in serious personal injury or damage to the ap- pliance.

Use dry, sturdy potholders. Damp potholders may cause burns from steam. Dishtowels or other substitutes should never be used as potholders because they can trail across hot surface burners and ignite or get caught on appliance parts.

Always let quantities of hot fat used for deep fat frying cool before attempting to move or handle.

Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate in or near the appliance, hood or vent fan. Clean hood frequently to pre- vent grease from accumulating on hood or filter. When flaming foods under the hood turn the fan on.

NEVER wear garments made of flammable
