Teach them not to play with controls or any other part of the
range.
NEVER store items of interest to children in the cabinets
above a range or on backguard of a range; children climbing
on the range to reach them could be seriously injured.
n
DO NOT use the oven for storage.
This instruction is based on safety considerations.
Flammable materials should not be stored in an oven, the
range storage drawer or near the cooktop burners. 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
appliance.
Flammable materials may explode and result in re or
property damage.
n
To avoid risk of electrical shock, personal injury,
or death, make sure your range has been properly
grounded and always disconnect it from main power
supply before servicing.
DO NOT touch cooktop burners or areas near burners.
Gas burners may be hot even if they have been o for some
time. Areas near the gas burners may become hot enough
to cause burns. During and after use, DO NOT touch, or let
clothing touch or other ammable materials contact the
burners or areas near the burners until they have had enough
time to cool. These areas include the cooktop and rear vent.
n
DO NOT touch heating elements or interior surfaces
of ovens.
Oven heating elements may be hot though they are dark in
color. Interior surfaces of an oven may become hot enough
to cause burns. During and after use, DO NOT touch, or
let clothing or other ammable materials touch heating
elements or interior surfaces of oven until they have had
enough time to cool.
Other range surfaces that may become hot enough to cause
burns are the broiler compartment and oven vent at the rear
of the range.
Wear suitable clothing
NEVER wear loose-tting or hanging clothes while using the
range. Be careful when reaching for items stored in cabinets
over the cooktop. Flammable material could be ignited if
brought into contact with a burner ame or hot surface and
may cause severe burns.
Use only dry potholders or oven
gloves
Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in
burns from steam. NEVER let a potholder touch hot heating
elements.
DO NOT use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of a glove.
They might catch re if they touch a hot surface.
Use dry oven gloves when applicable – using damp gloves
might result in steam burns when you touch a hot surface.
NEVER operate the range with wet hands.
Important safety notice and
warning
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act
of 1986 (Proposition 65) requires the Governor of California to
publish a list of substances known to the State of California to
cause cancer or reproductive harm, and requires businesses
to warn customers of potential exposures to such substances.
This appliance contains or produces a chemical or chemicals
which can cause death or serious illness and which are known
to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects or
other reproductive harm.
Users of this appliance are hereby warned that the burning
of gas can result in low-level exposure to some of the listed
substances, including benzene, formaldehyde and soot, due
primarily to the incomplete combustion of natural gas or
liquid petroleum (LP) fuels. Properly adjusted burners will
minimize incomplete combustion.
Exposure to these substances can also be minimized by
properly venting with an open window or using a ventilation
fan or hood.
To reduce the risk from substances in the fuel or from fuel
combustion make sure this appliance is installed, operated,
and maintained according to the instructions in this booklet.
