important Sofety instructions

A WARNING

I

NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in

the oven bottom or cover an entire oven rack with materials

such as aluminum foil. Aluminum foil linings may trap heat,

causing a fire hazard.

A WARNING

I DO NOT LEAVE CHILDREN ALONE —

children should not be left alone or unattended in the

area where appliance is in use. They should never be

allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance,

including the storage drawer, lower broiler drawer, warmer

drawer or lower double oven.

A CAUTION

j

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.

A CAUTION

DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE HEATING

UNITS, OR SURFACE COOKING ELEMENTS, AREAS

NEAR THESE SURFACE HEATING UNITS, 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 flammable materials touch these

areas until they have had sufficient 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-fitting or

hanging garments should never be worn while using the

appliance. Do not let clothing or other flammable

materials contact hot surfaces.

A CAUTION

I DO NOT USE WATER OR FLOUR on grease

fires — smother the fire with a pan lid, or use baking

soda, a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

ik CAUTION

j

When heating fat or grease, watch it

closely. Fat or grease may catch fire if allowed to become

too hot.

A CAUTION

I 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.

A CAUTION

I Do not heat unopened food containers —

buildup of pressure may cause container to burst and

result in injury.

Important Safety Notice

The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement

Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of

substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth

defects or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses

to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR

OVEN

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 fire.

Use care when opening oven door, warmer drawer or

lower oven door — 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 below the backguard. 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.
