Do not use the oven or warmer drawer (if equipped)

for storage.

Do not store items of interest to children in the

cabinets above a range or on the backguard of a range.

Children climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously

injured.

•Storage in or on Appliance—Flammable materials should not

be stored in an oven, near surface burners or in the storage

drawer (if equipped). 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. Flammable materials may explode and

result in fire or property damage.

•Do not leave children alone. Children should not be left alone

or unattended in the area where an appliance is in use. They

should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the

appliance.

•DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE BURNERS, AREAS NEAR THESE

BURNERS, OVEN BURNER OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF THE

OVEN. Areas near surface burners 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 cooktop,

surfaces facing the cooktop, the oven vent openings and surfaces

near these openings, oven door and 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.

Never use your appliance for warming or heating

the room.

•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 Only Dry Potholders—Moist or damp potholders on hot

surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let the

potholders touch the flame or burners. Do not use a towel or

other bulky cloth instead of a potholder.

•Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers—Build-up of pressure

may cause the container to burst and result in injury.

•Remove the oven door from any unused range if it is to be

stored or discarded.

•IMPORTANT—Do not attempt to operate the oven during a

power failure. If the power fails, always turn the oven control

to off. Once the power resumes, reset the clock and oven

functions.
