• Never wear loose-fitting or hanging gar-

ments while using the appliance. Be careful

when reaching for items stored over the

range. Flammable material could be ig-

nited if brought in contact with hot surface

units or heating elements and may cause

severe burns.

• Use only dry pot holders-moist or damp pot

holders on hot surfaces may result in burns

from steam. Do not let pot holders touch

hot surface units or heating elements. Do

not use a towel or other bulky cloth.

• For your safety never use your appliance

for warming or heating the room.

• Do not let cooking grease or other flam-

mable materials accumulate in or near the

range.

• Do not use water on grease fires. Never

pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off.

Smother a flaming pan on a surface unit by

covering the pan completely with a well fit-

ting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Use a mul-

tipurpose dry chemical or foam-type fire

extinguisher.

COOK MEAT AND POULTRY THOROUGHLY...

Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160° F

and poultry to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 180°F. Cooking to these temperatures

usually protects against foodborne illness.

WARNING

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Flaming grease outside a pan can be put

out by covering it with baking soda or, if

available, by using a multipurpose dry

chemical or foam type fire extinguisher.

Flame in the oven can be smothered com-

pletely by closing the door and turning the

oven off or by using a multipurpose dry

chemical or foam type fire extinguisher.

• Do not touch the surface units, the heating

elements or the interior surface of the oven.

These surfaces may be hot enough to burn

even though they are dark in color. During

and after use, do not touch or let clothing

or other flammable materials contact the

surface units, areas nearby the surface units

or any interior area of the oven; allow suffi-

cient time for cooling first.
Potentially hot surfaces include the cook-

top, areas facing the cooktop, oven vent

opening, surfaces near the opening, crev-

ices around the oven door and metal trim

parts above the door.
REMEMBER: The inside surface of the oven

may be hot when the door is opened.

• Do not store or use combustible materials,

gasoline or other flammable vapors and

liquids in the vicinity of this or any other ap-

pliance.

• Keep the hood and grease filters clean to

maintain good venting and to avoid

grease fires.

• Never block the vents (air openings) of the

range. They provide the air inlet and outlet

that are necessary for the range to oper-

ate properly with correct combustion. Air

openings are located at the rear of the

cooktop, at the top and bottom of the

oven door, and at the bottom of the range

under the storage drawer.
