IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Do not leave children alone or unattended
where a range is hot or in operation.
They could be seriously burned.
• Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on
the door, broiler drawer or range top. They
could damage the range and even tip it over,
causing severe personal injury.
• Let burner grates and other surfaces cool
before touching them or leaving them where
children can reach them.
• Never wear loose fitting or hanging garments
while using the appliance. Be careful when
reaching for items stored in cabinets over the
cooktop. Flammable material could be ignited if
brought in contact with flame or hot oven surfaces
and may cause severe burns.
• For your safety, never use your appliance for
warming or heating the room.
• Do not use water on grease fires.
Never pick up a flaming pan. Turn off
burner, then smother flaming pan by
covering pan completely with well-fitting lid,
cookie sheet or flat tray. Flaming grease outside a
pan can be put out by covering with baking soda
or, if available, a multi-purpose dry chemical or
foam-type fire extinguisher.
• Do not store flammable materials in an oven,
a range broiler drawer or near a cooktop.
• Do not store or use combustible materials,
gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids
in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
• Do not let cooking grease or other flammable
materials accumulate in or near the range.
• When cooking pork, follow the directions
exactly and always cook the meat to an internal
temperature of at least 170°F. This assures that, in
the remote possibility that trichina may be present
in the meat, it will be killed and the meat will be
safe to eat.

Surface Cooking
• Always use the LITE position (on electric
ignition models) or the HI position (on standing
pilot models) when igniting top burners and
make sure the burners have ignited.
• Never leave surface burners unattended at
high flame settings. Boilover causes smoking
and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.
• Adjust the top burner flame size so it does not
extend beyond the edge of the cookware.
Excessive flame is hazardous.
• Use only dry pot holders—moist
not let pot holders come near open flames when
lifting cookware. Do not use a towel or other bulky
cloth in place of a pot holder.
• To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition
of flammable materials, and spillage, turn
cookware handles toward the side or back of the
range without extending over adjacent burners.
• Always turn the surface burner to OFF before
removing the cookware.
• Carefully watch foods being fried at a high
flame setting.
• Never block the vents (air openings) of the
range. They provide the air inlet and outlet that
are necessary for the range to operate properly
with correct combustion. Air openings are located
at the rear of the cooktop, at the top and bottom of
the oven door, and at the bottom of the range
under the broiler drawer.
or damp pot holders on hot surfaces
may result in burns from steam. Do
