appliance is not a toy. Children should not
be allowed to play with controls or other
parts of the unit.
CAUTION: NEVER store items of in-
terest to children in cabinets above an
appliance or on backguard of a range. Chil-
dren climbing on the appliance door to
reach items could be seriously injured.

NEVER use appliance as a space heater to
heat or warm a room to prevent potential
hazard to the user and damage to the
appliance. Also, do not use the cooktop or
oven as a storage area for food or cooking
utensils.
Do not obstruct the flow of combustion
and ventilation air by blocking the oven vent
or air intakes. Restriction of air flow to the
burner prevents proper performance and
increases carbon monoxide emission to
unsafe levels.
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.
Other potentially hot surfaces include
cooktop, areas facing the cooktop, oven
vent, surfaces near the vent opening, oven
door, areas around the oven door and oven
window.
WARNING: NEVER use appliance door,
or drawer, if equipped, as a step stool or
seat as this may result in possible tipping of
the appliance, damage to the appliance, and
serious injuries.
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.
Many aerosol-type spray cans are EXPLO-
SIVE when exposed to heat and may be
highly flammable. Avoid their use or stor-
age near an appliance.
Many plastics are vulnerable to heat. Keep
plastics away from parts of the appliance
that may become warm or hot. Do not
leave plastic items on the cooktop as they
may melt or soften if left too close to the
vent or a lighted surface burner.
To eliminate the hazard of reaching over
hot surface burners, cabinet storage should
not be provided directly above a unit. If
storage is provided, it should be limited to
items which are used infrequently and which
are safely stored in an area subjected to
heat from an appliance. Temperatures may
be unsafe for some items, such as volatile
liquids, cleaners or aerosol sprays.

Turn off appliance and ventilating hood to
avoid spreading the flame. Extinguish flame
then turn on hood to remove smoke and
odor.
• Cooktop: Smother fire or flame in a pan
with a lid or cookie sheet.
NEVER pick up or move a flaming pan.
• Oven: Smother fire or flame by closing
the oven door.
Do not use water on grease fires. Use
baking soda, a dry chemical or foam-type
extinguisher to smother fire or flame.

NEVER leave children alone or unsuper-
vised 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 as they could be
injured or burned.
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. Children should be taught that an

Always place a pan on a surface burner
before turning it on. Be sure you know
which knob controls which surface burner.
Make sure the correct burner is turned on
and that the burner has ignited. When cook-
ing is completed, turn burner off before
removing pan to prevent exposure to burner
flame.
Always adjust surface burner flame so that
it does not extend beyond the bottom edge
of the pan. An excessive flame is hazardous,
wastes energy and may damage the appli-
ance, pan or cabinets above the appliance.
NEVER leave a surface cooking operation
unattended especially when using a high
heat setting or when deep fat frying. Boilovers
cause smoking and greasy spillovers may
ignite. Clean up greasy spills as soon as
possible. Do not use high heat for extended
cooking operations.
NEVER heat an unopened container on
the surface burner or in the oven. Pressure
build-up may cause container to burst re-
sulting in serious personal injury or damage
to the appliance.
Use dry, sturdy potholders. Damp pot-
holders may cause burns from steam. Dish
towels or other substitutes should never be
used as potholders because they can trail
across hot surface burners and ignite or get
caught on appliance parts.
Always let quantities of hot fat used for deep
fat frying cool before attempting to move or
handle.
Do not let cooking grease or other flam-
mable materials accumulate in or near the
appliance, hood or vent fan. Clean hood
frequently to prevent grease from accumu-
lating on hood or filter. When flaming foods
under the hood turn the fan on.
NEVER wear garments made of flammable
material or loose fitting or long-sleeved
apparel while cooking. Clothing may ignite
or catch utensil handles.
Always place oven racks in the desired
positions while oven is cool. Slide oven rack
out to add or remove food, using dry, sturdy
