SAFETY AND WARNINGS
WARNING!
Explosion Hazard
If you smell gas, do not use the appliance. Open a window or door to let
the gas escape, then follow the instructions on the inside front cover of
this manual.
Do not use water on grease fires. A violent steam explosion may result.
Turn all burners off, then smother fire or flame or use dry chemical or
foam-type extinguisher.
Do not heat unopened food containters such as cans – build-up of
pressure may cause container to burst and result in injury.
Failure to follow this advice may result in injury or death.

WARNING!
Poisoning Hazard
Never cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven bottom or cover an
entire rack or the oven floor with materials such as aluminum foil.
Doing so blocks airflow through the oven and may cause carbon
monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat, causing
a fire hazard.
Clean the appliance with caution. If a wet sponge or cloth is used
to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burn.
Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
Follow the directions of the cleaner manufacturer.
Never use this appliance as a space heater to heat or warm the room.
Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating of
the appliance.
Failure to follow this advice may result in poisoning or death.

WARNING!
Hot Surface Hazard
Accessible parts may become hot during use.
Do not touch burners, areas near burners, heating elements or interior
surfaces of oven – these may be hot enough to cause burns even though
they are dark in color. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing
or other flammable materials contact these parts and surfaces until they
have had sufficient time to cool. Other parts and surfaces of the appliance
may become hot enough to cause burns among these areas are the
grates, back trim and oven vents at the back of the cooktop, front edge,
surfaces adjacent to the cooktop, and the oven door.
Use only dry potholders – moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may
result in burns from steam. Do not let potholder touch hot heating
elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.
Let hot grease cool before attempting to handle it.
During self-cleaning, the oven reaches higher
temperatures than it does for cooking. Under such conditions, the surfaces
may get hotter than usual. Children should be kept away.
Failure to follow this advice may result in serious injury.
