IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
STORAGE AND FIRE SAFETY
• Items of interest to children should not be placed in cabinets above the appliance or on
the steel back splash vent at the back the range. Children climbing on the appliance to
reach items could be seriously injured.
• DO NOT leave children alone or unattended when the appliance is hot or in operation,
even if the burners and oven have been off for several minutes. The unit’s door, knobs,
and cooktop may still have residual heat, and children could be seriously burned.
• DO NOT let anyone climb, stand, or hang on the unit. They could damage the range or
cause it to tip over which could result in severe personal injury.
DANGER
Never use this appliance as a space heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so
may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating.
• NEVER wear loose fitting or hanging garments while using the range. Be careful when
reaching for items placed in cabinets over the appliance. Flammable material could be
ignited if it contacts flames or hot oven surfaces and may cause severe burns.
• DO NOT place flammable materials in the oven or anywhere near the range.
• DO NOT place or use combustible materials such as gasoline or other flammable vapors
and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
• DO NOT store cooking grease or other flammable materials in or near the appliance.
DANGER
Never leave burners unattended at high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoke
and greasy spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt. DO
NOT ATTEMPT TO EXTINGUISH AN OIL/GREASE FIRE WITH WATER.
• If a grease fire occurs, never touch a flaming pan. Immediately turn the controls off.
Smother a flaming pan on a surface burner by covering the pan completely with a well-
fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray.
• A grease fire can also be put out by covering it with baking soda or, if available, by
using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
• Flames inside the oven can be smothered completely by closing the oven door and
turning controls to OFF, or by using a fire extinguisher.
