DO NOT allow children to climb or play around the range.
The weight of a child on an open door may cause the range
to tip, resulting in serious burns or other injury. Teach them
not to play with controls or any other part of the range.
n
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 the cooktop cooking areas.
The marked cooking areas on the cooktop may be hot even
if they have been o for some time. Areas near the cooking
area may become hot enough to cause burns. During and
after use, DO NOT touch, or let clothing touch or other
ammable materials contact the cooktop or areas near the
cooking area until they have had enough time to cool. These
areas include the rangetop 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 hot surface and may cause severe
burns.
n
To eliminate the risk of burns or re by reaching over
heated surface units, cabinet storage, space located
above the surface units should be avoided. If cabinet
storage is to be provided, the risk can be reduced
by installing a range hood that projects horizontally
a minimum of 5 inches beyond the bottom of the
cabinets.
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.
