Using Your Range
= Do not leave children alone or unattended where
a range is hot or in operation. They could be
seriously burned
° Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on
the door, storage or broiler drawer (depending on
model) or cooktop. They could damage the range
and even tip it over, causing severe personal injury..
= Let the burner grates and other surfaces cool
before touching them or leaving them where
children can reach them,
= CAUTION: ITEMS OF INTEREST TO CHILDREN
SHOULD NOT BE STORED IN CABINETS ABOVE A
RANGE OR ON THE BACKSPLASH OF A RANGE--
CHILDREN CL!_B!NG ON THE RANGE TO REACH
ITEMS COULD BE SERIOUSLY INJURED.
* Never wear loose fitting or hanging garments while
using the appliance. Be careful when reaching for items
stored in cabinets over the cooktop Flammable material
could be ignited if brought in contact with flames or hot
oven surfaces and may cause severe burns+
° Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up
a flaming pan. Turn the controls off+ Smother a
flaming pan on a surface unit by covering the pan
completeIy with a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat
tray Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type
fire extinguisher.
, Flaming grease outside a pan can be put out by
covering it with baking soda or, if available, by using
a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire
extinguisher
, Flame in the oven or broiler drawer can be smothered
completely by dosing the oven door or drawer and
turning the oven off or by using a multi-purpose dry
chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher+
, Do not store flammable materials in an oven,
broiler drawer or near the cooktop.
, Do not store or use combustible materials,
gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids
in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
, Do not let cooking grease or other flammable
materials accumulate in or near the range.
° Large scratches or impacts to glass doors can
lead to broken or shattered glass.
• Cook meat and poultry thoroughly--meat to at least
an INTERNAL temperature of t60°F and poultry to
at least an INTERNAL temperature of 180°t=+Cooking
to these temperatures usuatiy protects against
feodborne illness

warming or heating the room.
Surface Cooking
= Always use the LITE position (on models with
electronic ignition) or the HI position (on models
with standing pilots) when igniting the top burners
and make sure the burners have ignited,
° Never leave the surface burners unattended at high
flame settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ca[ch on fire+
• Adjust the top burner flame size so it does not
extend beyond the edge of the cookware. Excessive
flame is hazardous+
° Use only dry pot holders--moist or damp pot holders
on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam..
, Do not let pot holders come near open flames when
lifting cookware, Do not use a towel or other bulky
cloth in place of a pot holder.
° To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of
flammable materials and spillage, turn cookware
handles toward the side or back of the range without
letting them extend over adjacent burners
° Always turn the surface burners to OFF before
removing cookware.
• Carefully watch foods being fried at a high
flame setting.
• Never block the vents (air openings) of the
range. They provide the air inlet and outlet that are
necessary for the range to operate properly with
correct combustion. Air openings are located in the
following places:
-- Oven vent at the rear of the cooktop.
-- Air intake under the broiler drawer.
-- Air vent at the top of the oven door
• Do not lift the cooktop on sealed burner models
Lifting the cooktop can lead to damage and improper
operation of the range+
