l WARNING: To reduce the risk of tipping of the appliance, the appliance must be secured by a properly installed anti-tip bracket. To check if the bracket is installed properly, see “Theanti-tip bracket” on page 15.

l Do not store things children might want above the range. Children could be burned or injured while climbing on it.

l Do not leave children alone or unattended in area where the range is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the range. They could be burned or injured.

l Do not operate the range if it is damaged or not working properly.

lDo not use the range for warming or heating the room. Persons could be burned or injured, or a fire could stat-t.

l Do not attempt to light the oven burner on electric ignition models during a power failure. Personal injury could result. Reset oven controls to the off position in the event of a power failure.

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

l DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE BURNERS, AREAS NEAR SURFACE BURNERS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF OVEN.

Areas near surface burners and interior surfaces of an oven become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact surface burners, areas near surface burners or interior surfaces of oven until they have had sufficient time to cool. 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 and the oven door.

l 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.

l 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 potholder. It could catch on fire.

l Keep range vents unobstructed.

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

l Do not store flammable materials on or near the range. The fumes can create an explo- sion and/or fire hazard.

lDo not use the oven for storage.

l Never use a match or other flame to look for a gas leak. Explosion and injury could result.

. Know where your main gas shutoff valve is located.

When using the cooktop

l Make sure the utensils you use are large enough to contain food and avoid boilovers and spillovers. Heavy splattering or spillovers left on a range can ignite and burn you. Pan size is especially important in deep fat frying.

l 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 cooktops without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.
