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.
l
Do not use the range for warming or heating
the room. Persons could be burned or
injured, or a fire could start.
l
Do not attempt to light the oven burner on
electric ignition model during a power failure.
Personal injury could resutt. 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 resutt in
bums 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
bums 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.
l
Do not use the oven for storage.
l
Never use a match or other flame to look for
a gas leak. Explosion and injury could resutt.
l
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.
