Kenmore 790. 7260 - Manual (Page 4)

Important Safety Instructions
Air curtain or other overhead range hoods, which operate
by blowing a downward air flow on to a range, shall not be
used in conjunction with gas ranges other than when the
hood and range have been designed, tested and listed by
an independent test laboratory for use in combination with
each other.
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.
A WARNING
I
NEVER use this appliance as a space
heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in
CARBON MONOXIDE poisoning.
A WARNING
I
NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in
the oven bottom or cover an entire oven 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.
A WARNING
I
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.
F!Vi7Jt-l^ll^[cl Storage in or on appliance — 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.
A WARNING I 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.
A CAUTION I 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.
A CAUTION I 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.
A CAUTION I 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.
A CAUTION
I
Do not heat unopened food containers —
buildup of pressure may cause container to burst and
result in injury.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR
OVEN
Protective Liners — DO NOT use
aluminum foil to line the oven bottom. Only use aluminum
foil as recommended in this manual. Improper installation
of these liners may result in risk of electric shock, or fire.
• Use care when opening oven door , warmer drawer or
lower oven door — Stand to the side of the range when
opening the door of a hot oven. Let hot air or steam
escape before you remove or replace food in the oven.
• Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. The oven vent is
located below the backguard. Touching the surfaces in
this area when the oven is operating may cause severe
burns. Also, do not place plastic or heat-sensitive items on
or near the oven vent. These items could melt or ignite.
• Placement of Oven Racks. Always place oven racks in
desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be
moved while oven is hot use extreme caution. Use
potholders and grasp the rack with both hands to
reposition. Do not let potholders contact the hot heating
elements in the oven. Remove all utensils from the rack
before moving.
• Do not use the broiler pan without its insert. The broiler
pan and its insert allow dripping fat to drain and be kept
away from the high heat of the broiler.
• Do not cover the broiler insert with aluminum foil.
Exposed fat and grease could ignite.
Save these instructions for future reference.
