CHILD SAFETY
Do not leave children alone or unsuper-
vised near the appliance when it is in
use or is still hot. Children should never
be allowed to sit or stand on any part of
the appliance. Children must be taught
that the appliance and utensils in it can
be hot. Children should be taught that
an appliance is not a toy. They should
not be allowed to play with controls or
other parts of the unit. Let hot utensils
cool inasafe place, out of reach of small
children.
Touching a hot oven light bulb with a
damp cloth could cause the bulb to
break. Should the bulb break, discon-
nect power to the range before trying to
remove the bulb to avoid electrical
shock.
Clean range with caution. If a wet
sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on
a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid
steam burns. Some cleaners can pro-
duce noxious fumes if applied to a hot
surface.
Use extreme caution when moving the
grease kettle or disposing of hot grease.
Be sure you know which knob controls
which surface burner. Always make
sure the correct burner is turned on and
that the burner has ignited. When cook-
ing is completed, turn burner off.
CAUTION: Do not store items of inter-
est to children in cabinets above an ap-
pliance or on the backguard of a range.
Children climbing on the appliance to
reach items could be seriously injured.
Do not use an appliance as a step stool
to cabinets above.
Hot grease is flammable. Avoid letting
grease deposits collect around appli-
ance, range hood, or vent fan. Do not
leave container of grease around a
cooking appliance. Always let quantities
of hot fat used for deep fat frying cool be-
fore attempting to move or handle. Inthe
event of a grease fire, DO NOT attempt
to move pan. Cover pan with a lid to ex-
tinguish flame and turn surface burner
off. Do not douse flame with water. Use
a dry chemical or foam-type fire extin-
guisher, if available, or sprinkle heavily
with baking soda.
Use caution when wearing garments
made of flammable material to avoid
clothing fires. Loose fitting or long hang-
ing-sleeved apparel should not be worn
while cooking. Clothing may ignite or
catch utensil handles.
ANTI-TIP DEVICE
To reduce the risk of tipping of the appli-
ance from unusual usage or by exces-
sive loading of the oven door, the appli-
ance must be secured by a properly in-
stalled anti-tip device. To check if de-
vice is installed properly: Use a flash-
light and look underneath range to see
that one of the rear leveling legs is en-
gaged in the bracket slot. When remov-
ing appliance for cleaning, be sure anti-
tip device is engaged when range is re-
placed. The anti-tip device secures the
rear leveling leg to the floor, when prop-
erly engaged.
CLEANING
Turn off all controls and wait for range
parts tocool before touching or cleaning
them. Do not touch the burner grates or
surrounding areas until they have had
sufficient time to cool.
Spills or boilovers which contain grease
should be cleaned up as soon as possi-
ble. If they are allowed to accumulate,
they could create a FIRE HAZARD.
COOKING SAFETY
Always adjust surface burners flame so
that is does not extend beyond the bot-
tom of utensil. This instruction is based
on safety considerations.
Never leave a surface cooking opera-
tion unattended especially when using a
high heat setting. Boilovers cause
smoking and greasy spillovers may ig-
nite.
Never heat an unopened container on
the surface burner or in the oven. Pres-
sure build-up may cause container to
burst resulting in serious personal injury
or damage to the range.
Slide oven rack out to add or remove
food, using dry, sturdy pot holders. Al-
ways avoid reaching into oven to place
or remove food.
Use dry, sturdy pot holders. Damp pot
holders may cause burns from steam.
Dish towels or other substitutes should
never be used as pot holders because
they can trail across hot surface burners
and ignite or get caught on range parts.
Use care when opening oven door. Let
hot air or steam escape before remov-
ingor replacing food. Always place oven
racks inthe desired positions while oven
is cool. If a rack must be moved while
hot, be careful to avoid contact of pot
holders with oven burner flame.
