IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION

• Do not store items of interest to children in the

cabinets above a range or on the backguard of

the range. Children climbing on the range to reach

items could be seriously injured.

• Do not touch surface heating units or surface

cooking elements, areas near these units or

elements, or interior surface of the oven. Both

surface heating and oven heating elements may be hot

even though they are dark in color. Areas near surface

cooking units may become hot enough to cause burns.

During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or

other flammable materials touch these areas until they

have had sufficient time to cool. Among these areas

are the cook top, surfaces facing the cook top, the

oven vent openings and surfaces near these openings,

oven door and oven door window.

• Wear proper apparel—loose-fitting or hanging

garments should never be worn while using the

appliance. Do not let clothing or other flammable

materials contact hot surfaces.

• Do not use water or flour on grease fires—

smother the fire with a pan lid, or use baking soda,

a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

• When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Fat

or grease may catch fire if allowed to become too hot.

• Use dry potholders - moist or damp potholders on

hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do

not let potholders touch hot heating elements. Do not use

a towel or other bulky cloth instead of a potholder.

• Do not heat unopened food containers - buildup of

pressure may cause container to burst and result

in injury.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING

YOUR OVEN

• Use care when opening oven door , lower oven

door or warmer drawer (if equipped)—Stand to the

side of the range when opening the door of a hot oven.

Let hot air or steam escape before you remove or replace

food in the oven.

• Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. The oven vent

is located under the left rear surface element if your

model is equipped with coil elements. The oven vent is

located below the backguard for models equipped with

ceramic-glass cook tops. Touching the surfaces in this

area when the oven is operating may cause severe

burns. Also, do not place plastic or heat-sensitive items

on or near the oven vent. These items could melt or

ignite.

• Placement of interior oven racks. Always place oven

racks in desired location while oven is cool. If rack must

be moved while oven is hot use extreme caution. Use

potholders and grasp the rack with both hands to

reposition. Do not let potholders contact the hot heating

elements in the oven. Remove all utensils from the rack

before moving.

• Do not use the broiler pan without its insert. The

broiler pan and its insert allow dripping fat to drain and

be kept away from the high heat of the broiler. Do not

cover the broiler insert with aluminum foil. Exposed

fat and grease could ignite.

• Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil to line the

oven bottom. Only use aluminum foil as recommended in

this manual. Improper installation of these liners may

result in risk of electric shock, or fire.

Do not attempt to operate the range during a

power failure. If the power fails, always turn off the

range. If the range is not turned off and the power

resumes, the range will begin to operate again. Once the

power resumes, reset the clock and oven function.

IMPORTANT

• DO NOT LEAVE CHILDREN ALONE —children

should not be left alone or unattended in the

area where appliance is in use. They should never

be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance,

including the storage drawer, lower broiler drawer,

warmer drawer or lower double oven.

• Storage in or on appliance—flammable materials

should not be stored in an oven, warmer

drawer, near surface units or in the storage

drawer. This includes paper, plastic and cloth items,

such as cookbooks, plasticware and towels, as well as

flammable liquids. Do not store explosives, such as

aerosol cans, on or near the range.
