fire, DROP AND ROLL IMMEDIATELY to extinguish
flames.
• Do not touch the cooking area(s) or the immediate
surrounding area(s) while using the range or while it is

drawer may become hot enough to cause burns and may
be hot even though they are off. Never let clothing,
potholders, or other flammable materials come in contact
with a cooking area until it has cooled.
• Do not operate range during a power failure. If the
power fails, always turn off the range. If the range is not

• Do not clean the range while it is still hot. Some
cleaners produce noxious fumes when applied to a hot

• Exercise caution when opening the oven or warming
drawer. Standing to the side, open the door slowly and
slightly to let hot air and/ or steam escape. Keep your face
clear of the opening and make sure there are no children or
pets near the unit. After the release of hot air and/ or
steam, proceed with your cooking. Keep doors shut unless
necessary for cooking or cleaning purposes. Do not leave
open doors unattended.
• Do not heat or warm unopened food containers
either in the oven or the warming drawer. Build-up of
pressure may cause the container to burst and cause injury.
• Always place oven racks in desired location while
oven is cool. If a rack must be moved while oven is hot, do
not let potholder contact the hot heating elements.
• Always use 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.
• Do not use water or a wet rag or towel on a grease
fire. Smother fire with baking soda or use a dry chemical or
foam-type (ABC) extinguisher.
• Take care that drafts like those from fans or forced
air vents do not blow flammable material toward the
flames or push the flames so that they extend beyond the
edges of the pan.
