IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION
• Do not store items of interest to children in the
cabinets above a range or on the backguard of
the range. Children climbing on the range to reach
items could be seriously injured.
• Do not touch surface heating units or surface
cooking elements, areas near these units or
elements, or interior surface of the oven. Both
surface heating and oven heating elements may be
hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near
surface cooking units may become hot enough to
cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or
let clothing or other ammable materials touch these
areas until they have had sufcient time to cool.
Among these areas are the cook top, surfaces facing
the cook top, the oven vent openings and surfaces
near these openings, oven door and oven door
window.
• Wear proper apparel — loose-tting or
hanging garments should never be worn while
using the appliance. Do not let clothing or other
ammable materials contact hot surfaces.
• Do not use water or our on grease res —
our may be explosive. Smother the re with
a pan lid, or use baking soda, a dry chemical or
foam-type extinguisher.
• When heating fat or grease, watch it closely.
Fat or grease may catch re if allowed to become too
hot.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR OVEN
• Use care when opening oven door , lower oven
door or warmer drawer (if equipped)—Stand to
the side of the range when opening the door of a hot
oven. Let hot air or steam escape before you remove or
replace food in the oven.
• Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. The oven vent
is located under the left rear surface element if your
model is equipped with coil elements. The oven vent
is located below the backguard for models equipped
with ceramic-glass cook tops. Touching the surfaces in
this area when the oven is operating may cause severe
burns. Also, do not place plastic or heat-sensitive items
on or near the oven vent. These items could melt or
ignite.
• Placement of interior oven racks. Always place
oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. If rack
must be moved while oven is hot use extreme caution.
Use potholders and grasp the rack with both hands to
reposition. Do not let potholders contact the hot heating
elements in the oven. Remove all utensils from the rack
before moving.
• Do not use the broiler pan without its insert. The
broiler pan and its insert allow dripping fat to drain
and be kept away from the high heat of the broiler. Do
not cover the broiler insert with aluminum foil.
Exposed fat and grease could ignite.
• Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil to line the
oven bottom. Only use aluminum foil as recommended
in this manual. Improper installation of these liners may
result in risk of electric shock, or re.
Do not attempt to operate the range during a
power failure. If the power fails, always turn off the
range. If the range is not turned off and the power
resumes, the range will begin to operate again. Once
the power resumes, reset the clock and oven function.
IMPORTANT
• Storage in or on appliance — to avoid a re
hazard, ammable materials should not be
stored in an oven, near surface units or in the
storage drawer, warmer drawer or lower oven.
This includes paper, plastic and cloth items, such
as cookbooks, plasticware and towels, as well as
ammable liquids. Do not store explosives, such as
aerosol cans, on or near the range.
• DO NOT LEAVE CHILDREN ALONE — to avoid
injuries or burns children should not be left
alone or unattended in the area where the
range is in use. They should never be allowed to
sit or stand on any part of the range including the
storage drawer, lower broiler drawer, lower oven or
warmer drawer.
WARNING
• Use dry potholders — moist or damp potholders
on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam.
Do not let potholders touch hot heating elements.
Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth instead of a
potholder.
• Do not heat unopened food containers -
buildup of pressure may cause container to
burst and result in injury.
