IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Do not use water or flour on grease fires — flour
may be explosive. 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.
WARNING
• 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.
CAUTION
For electric ignition models only: 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
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 burners, areas near
these burners, oven burners or interior
surfaces of the oven. Both surface and oven
burners may be hot even though flames are not
visible. 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.
• Stepping, leaning or sitting on the door or
drawers of a range can result in serious injuries
and also cause damage to the appliance. DO
NOT allow children to climb or play around the range.
The weight of a child on an open oven door may
cause the range to tip, resulting in serious burns or
other injury.
• NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to
heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in
carbon monoxide poisoning.
• NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in the
oven bottom or cover an entire rack with
materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks
air flow through the oven and may cause carbon
monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may
trap heat, causing a fire hazard.
• Storage in or on appliance — to avoid a fire
hazard, flammable materials should not be stored
in an oven, near surface units or in the storage
drawer, warmer drawer or lower oven. 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.
• DO NOT LEAVE CHILDREN ALONE — to avoid
injuries or burns children should not be left alone
or unattended in the area where the range is in
use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on
any part of the range including the storage drawer,
lower broiler drawer, lower oven or warmer drawer.
• Be sure to always have an appropriate foam-type fire
extinguisher available, visible and easily accessible
located near the appliance.
• Never modify or alter the construction of a range
by removing the leveling legs, panels, wire
covers, anti-tip bracket/screws, or any other part
of the range.
• Remove the oven door from any unused range if
it is to be stored or discarded.
• User servicing — Do not repair or replace any part
of the appliance unless specifically recommended
in the manuals. All other servicing should be done
only by a qualified technician. This may reduce the risk
of personal injury and damage to the range.
