For personal safety, wear proper apparel. Loose fitting garments or hanging sleeves should never be worn while using this appliance. Some synthetic fabrics are highly flammable and should not be worn while cooking.
Do not use aluminum foil to line any part of the oven or range. Use of a foil liner could result in a shock or fire hazard, or the obstruction of the flow of combustion and ventilation air. Foil is an excellent heat insulator and heat will be trapped beneath it. This will upset the cooking performance and can damage the finish of the oven or the range.

Safety Precautions | WARNING |
The appliance is for cooking. Based on safety considerations, never use the oven or cooktop to warm or heat a room. Also, such use can damage the cooktop or oven parts.
WARNING
NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and over- heating of the oven.
When using the cooktop: DO NOT TOUCH THE BURNER GRATES OR THE IMMEDIATE SURROUNDING AREA. Areas adjacent to the burners may become hot enough to cause burns.
Never leave the range unattended when using high flame settings. Boil overs cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite. More importantly, if the burner flames are smothered, unburned gas will escape into the room. See front of this manual, page 1 regarding gas leaks.
Only certain types of glass, heatproof
Do not heat unopened food containers; a buildup of pressure may cause the con- tainer to burst.
During cooking, set the burner control so that the flame heats only the bottom of the pan and does not extend beyond the bottom of the pan. Proper relationship of cook- ware to burner flame reduces safety risks.
