Steam and Vapors
Use care when opening the oven door. Let hot air or steam escape before removing or placing food in a hot oven.
Use only dry pot holders. Putting moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam.
Surface Burner Warnings
–The burner spreader can be blocked by food or dust. Clean the spreader if it appears blocked. If you clean the spreader with water, assemble it only after it is completely dry. If the spreader is wet, it might prevent the burners from igniting.
–Do not pour water on the cooktop for cleaning. It can get inside the range and cause the parts inside to rust.
–Only ignite the cooktop burners with the burner caps in place. If the burner caps are not in place, you can damage the controls or cause an unintended large or dangerous flame.
–Heating of beverages can result in delayed eruptive boiling. To prevent delayed eruptive boiling, ALWAYS allow heated beverages to stand at least 20 seconds after you have turned the burner off so that the temperature in the liquid can stabilize. In the event of scalding, follow these FIRST AID instructions:
•Immerse the scalded area in cold water for at least 10 minutes
•Cover with clean, dry dressing
•Do not apply any creams, oils or lotions
–After turning on a surface burner, check to make sure that the burner has ignited. Adjust the level of the flame by turning the burner knob.
–When you set a burner to simmer, do not turn the burner knob quickly. Watch the flame to make sure it stays on.
