• Use the range only for its intended use as
described in this manuai.
• DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE BURNERS.
AREAS NEAR SURFACE BURNERS OR
iNTERiOR SURFACES OF OVEN. Areas
near surface burners and interior surfaces of
an oven become hot enough to cause burns.
During and after use, do not touch, or iet
ciothing or other flammabie materiais contact
surface burners, areas near surface burners
or interior surfaces of oven until they have had
sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the
range may become hot enough to cause
burns; such as, the oven vent opening, the
surface near the vent opening, the cooktop
and the oven door.
• Do not wear ioose or hanging garments when
using the range. They couid ignite if they
touch a hot surface burner and you couid be
burned.
• Use oniy dry pothoiders. Moist or damp
pothoiders on surface burners may resuit in
burns from steam. Do not iet pothoider touch
surface burners. Do not use a towei or buiky
cioth for a pothoider. it could catch on fire.
• Keep range vents unobstructed.
• Do not heat unopened containers. They couid
explode. The hot contents could cause burns
and container particles could cause injury.
• Do not store flammable materials on or near
the range. The fumes can create an explosion
and/or fire hazard.
• Do not use the oven for storage.
• Never use a match or other flame to look for a
gas leak. Explosion and injury could result.
• Know where your main gas shutoff valve is
located.
When using the cooktop
• Make sure the utensils you use are large
enough to contain food and avoid boilovers
and spillovers. Heavy splattering or spill­
overs left on a range can ignite and burn
you. Pan size is especially important in deep
fat frying.
• Check to be sure glass cooking utensils are
safe for use on the range. Only certain types
of glass, glass-ceramic, ceramic, earthen­
ware or other glazed utensils are suitable for
cooktops without breaking due to the sudden
change in temperature.
• Never leave surface burners unattended at
high heat settings. A boilover could result
and cause smoking and greasy spillovers
that may ignite.
• Turn pan handles inward, but not over other
surface burners. This will help reduce the
chance of burns, igniting of flammable
materials, and spills due to bumping of the
pan.
• Do not use decorative covers or trivets over
the surface burners.
When using the oven___________
• Always position the oven rack(s) in desired
location while oven is cool.
• Use care when opening oven door. Let hot
air or steam escape before removing or
replacing food.
Grease______________________
• Grease is flammable. Do not allow grease to
collect around cooktop or in vents. Wipe
spillovers immediately.
