IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS, Continued
• Use only dry potholders. Wet or damp potholders on hot surfaces could result in burns
from steam. Do not let the potholder touch hot heating areas. Do not use a towel or other
bulky cloth instead of a potholder.
• Use proper flame size. Adjust flame size so it does not extend beyond the edge of the
utensil. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the burner flame and may
result in severe burns or direct contact and ignition of clothing. Also, proper relationship
of utensil to burner will improve efficiency.

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 also trap heat, causing a fire hazard. Refer to the
cleaning section of this manual for more information on the use of aluminum foil.
• Placement of oven racks: Always place an oven rack in the desired location while the
oven is cool. lfa rack must be moved when the oven is hot, use potholders and grasp the
rack with both hands to reposition. Do not let potholders contact hot oven walls. Remove
all utensils from the rack before moving.
• Do not heat unopened food containers. Build-up of pressure may cause the container
to burst and result in injury.
• Keep the oven vent duct unobstructed. The oven vent is located along the bottom of
the backguard. Touching the surfaces in the vent area when the oven is being operated
may cause severe burns. Also, do not place plastic or heat-sensitive items on or near the
oven vents. These items could melt or ignite.
The range requires fresh air for proper burner combustion. Do not block the flow of air
around the base or beneath the lower front panel of the range.
• Use care when opening oven door: Stand to the side of the oven when opening the
oven door. Slowly open the door to allow hot air or steam to escape before removing or
replacing food.
• Know which knob controls each burner. Place a pan of food on the burner before
turning it on, and turn the burner off before removing the pan.
Always turn to the full LITE position when igniting top burners. Then adjust the flame
size so it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil.
• Utensil handles should be turned inward and not extend over adjacent surface
burners. To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due
to unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of a utensil should be positioned so
that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface burners.
• Never leave the surface burners unattended. Boilovers may cause smoking, greasy
spillovers may catch fire or a pan which has boiled dry may melt.
