Do not operate the range if it is not working properly, or if it has been damaged.

Do not use the range for warming or heating the room. Persons could be burned or injured, or a fire could start.

Use the range only for its intended use as described in this manual.

Do not wear loose or hanging garments when using the range. They could ignite if they touch a hot surface burner and you could be burned.

Do not touch surface burners, areas near burners or interior sur- faces of oven. Areas near surface burners and interior surfaces of an oven become hot enough to cause burns. During use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flam- mable materials contact surface burners, areas near surface burners or interior surfaces of oven. Other surfaces of the range may become hot enough to cause burns; such as, the oven vent opening, the surface near the vent opening, the cooktop, the oven door and window.

Make sure the utensils you use are large enough to contain food and avoid boil-avers and spillovers.

Heavy splattering or spillovers left on a range can ignite and burn you. Pan size is especially impor- tant in deep fat frying.

Turn pan handles inward, but not over other surface burners. This will help reduce the chance of burns, igniting of flammable materials, and spills due to bumping of

the pan.

Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on surface burners may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholder touch surface burners. Do not use a towel or bulky cloth for a pot- holder. They could catch on fire.

Check to be sure glass cooking utensils are safe for use on the range. Only certain types of glass, glass-ceramic, ceramic, earthen- ware or other glazed utensils are suitable for ranges without break- ing due to the sudden change

in temperature.

Do not use decorative covers or trivets over the surface burners.

Do not heat unopened containers. They could explode. The hot contents could cause burns and container particles could cause injury

Grease is flammable and should be handled carefully. Let fat cool before attempting to handle

it. Do not allow grease to collect around cooktop or in vents. Wipe spillovers immediately.

Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Smother flaming pan on range by covering with a well-fitted lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Flaming grease outside of pan can be extinguished with baking soda or, if available, a multipurpose dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

Never leave surface burners unattended at high heat settings. A boil-over could result and cause smoking and greasy spill- overs that may ignite.

Make sure surface burners are off when you are finished, and when you aren’t watching.
