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 heat unopened food containers - buildup

of pressure may cause container to burst and

result in injury.

• 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 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• Never use your appliance for warming or

heating the room. Doing so may result in carbon

monoxide poisoning.

WARNING

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Never modify or alter the construction of a range by

removing the leveling legs, panels, wire covers, anti-tip

brackets/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.

Ask your dealer to recommend a qualified technician and

an authorized repair service. Know how to disconnect the

power to the range at the circuit breaker or fuse box in

case of an emergency.

Do not cook food on the oven bottom. Always cook in

proper cookware and always use the oven racks.

When you are flaming foods under a ventilating hood,

turn the fan on.

Clean ventilating hoods frequently - grease should not be

allowed to accumulate on the hood or the filter.
