IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The following instructions are based on safety
considerations and must be strictly followed to eliminate
the potential risks of fire, electric shock or personal injury.
Have your appliance installed and properly grounded by a
qualified installer according to the installation instructions.
Have the installer show you the location of the gas shut off
valve and how to shut it off in an emergency.
Always disconnect power to appliance before servicing.
To ensure proper operation and avoid possible injury or
damage to unit do not attempt to adjust, repair, service or
replace any part of your appliance unless it is specifically
recommended in this book. All other servicing should be
referred to a qualified installer or servicer.
TO PREVENT FIRE OR SMOKE DAMAGE
Be sure all packing materials are removed from the appli-
ance before operating it.
Keep area around appliance clear and free from combus-
tible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and
materials.
Many plastics are vulnerable to heat. Keep plastics away
from parts of the appliance that may become warm or hot.
Many aerosol-type spray cans are EXPLOSIVE when
exposed to heat and may be highly flammable. Avoid their
use or storage near an appliance.
IN CASE OF FIRE
1. Turn off appliance.
2. Use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher or baking
soda to smother fire or flame. Never use water on a
grease fire.
3. If fire is in the oven or broiler pan, smother by closing
oven door.
CHILD SAFETY
NEVER leave children alone or unsupervised near the
appliance when it is in use or is still hot. NEVER allow
children to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.
Children must be taught that the
appliance and utensils in it can be hot.
Let hot utensils cool in a safe place,
out of reach of small children. Chil-
dren should be taught that an appli-
ance is not a toy. Children should not
be allowed to play with controls or
other parts of the unit.
CAUTION: NEVER store items of
interest to children in cabinets above
an appliance. Children climbing on
the appliance to reach items could be seriously injured.
ABOUT YOUR APPLIANCE
Do not use the oven as a storage area for food or cooking
utensils.
Avoid touching oven vent area while oven is on and for
several minutes after oven is turned off. Some parts of the
vent and surrounding area become hot enough to cause
burns. After oven is turned off, do not touch the oven vent
or surrounding areas until they have had sufficient time to
cool.
Do not touch a hot oven light bulb with a damp cloth as the
bulb could break. Should the bulb break, disconnect power
to the appliance before removing bulb to avoid electrical
shock.
WARNING
NEVER use appliance door as a step stool or seat as this
may result in possible tipping of the appliance and
serious injuries.
NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to heat or
warm a room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide
poisoning and overheating of the oven.
NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven
bottom or cover the entire rack with materials such as
aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the oven
and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum
foil may also trap heat causing a fire hazard.
NEVER obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation
air by blocking the oven vent or air intakes. Doing so
restricts air to the burners and may result in carbon
monoxide poisoning.
