IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

A WARNING

 CAUTION

A WARNING

NEVER

cover any slots, holes or

passages in

the

oven bottom or cover an entire

rack with materials such as aluminum foil. Doing

so blocks air flow through the oven and may

cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil

linings may trap heat, causing

a

fire hazard.

Stepping, leaning, sitting or pulling

down on the door of this appliance can result
in serious injuries and may also cause damage
to the appliance.

Do not allow children to climb

or play around the appliance. The weight of a
child on an open door may cause the range to tip,

resulting in serious burns or other injury.

Do not use the ovens for storage.

Do not store items of interest to

children in the cabinets above an appliance.

Children climbing on the appliance to reach

items could be seriously injured.

• Storage on Appliance. Flammable materials

should not be stored in an oven, near surface

burners.

This includes paper, plastic and cloth

items, such as cookbooks, plasticware and

towels, as well as flammable liquids. Do not
store explosives, such as aerosol cans, on or

near the appliance.

• Do not leave children alone. Children should

not be left alone or unattended in the area

where an appliance is in use.

They should

never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of

the appliance.

• DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE BURNERS, AREAS

NEAR THESE BURNERS OR INTERIOR

SURFACES OF THE OVEN.

Both surface and

oven burners may be hot even though flames
are not visible. Areas near surface burners 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 cooktop, surface facing the

cooktop, the oven vent openings and surfaces

near these openings, oven door and 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.

• 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.

• When heating fat or grease, watch it closely.

Fat or grease may catch fire if allowed to
become too hot.

• Use Only Dry Potholders. Moist or damp

potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns

from steam.

Do not let the potholders touch hot

heating burners. Do not use

a

towel or other

bulky cloth instead of a potholder.

• Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers.

Buildup of pressure may cause the container

to burst and result in injury.

• Remove the oven door from any unused

appliance if it is to be stored or discarded.

IMPORTANT—Do not attempt to operate the

appliance during a power failure.

If power fails,

always turn off the appliance. If the appliance
is not turned off and the power resumes, it will

begin to operate again. Once the power resumes,
reset the clock and oven function.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING

YOUR COOKTOP

A WARNING

I

Use Proper Flame Size.

Adjust flame

size so it does not extend beyond the edge of the
utensil. The use of undersized utensils will expose a

portion of the burner flame to direct contact and
may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship

of utensil to flame will also improve efficiency.

• Know which knob controls each surface

burner.

Place

a

pan of food on the burner

before turning it on, and then turn the burner

off before removing the pan.

• Always turn knob to the full LITE position

when igniting top burners.

Visually check that

burner has lit. Then adjust the flame so it does

not extend beyond the edge of the utensil.

• Utensil handles should be turned inward and not

extend over adjacent surface burners.

To reduce

the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials,
and spillage due to unintentional contact with

the utensil, the handle of the utensil should be

positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not

extend over adjacent surface burners
