2. Never use your appliance for warming or heating the room.
3. Do not leave children alone or unattended while the range is in operation. They
should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.
4. Wear Proper Apparel - Loose-fitting or hanging garments should never be worn
while using the appliance.
5. User Servicing - Do not repair or relace any part of the range unless specifically
recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to an authorized
technician.
6. Storage in or on Appliance - Flammable materials should not be stored in an oven

7. Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires - Smother fire or flame with a non-flammable lid,
or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
8. Use Only Dry Potholders - Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in
burns from steam. Do not let potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a
towel or other bulky cloth.
Surface Cooking Units
1. Use Proper Pan Size - This appliance is equipped with one or more surface units of
different sizes. Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit
heating element. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the heating
element to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of
utensil to burner will also improve efficiency.
2. Never leave Surface Units Unattended at High Heat Settings - Boilover causes
smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.
3. Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not extend Over Adjacent Surface
Units - To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to
unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of a utensil should be positioned so that
it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface units.
4. Glazed Cooking Utensils - Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earth-
enware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for range-top service without breaking due
to the sudden change in temperature.
Ovens
1. Use Care When Opening Door- Let hotair or steam escape before removingor replacing
food.
2. Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers - Build up of pressure may cause container
to burst and result in an injury.
3. Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed.
4. Placement of Oven Racks - Always place oven racks in desired location while oven is
cool. If rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not let potholder contact hot heating
element in oven.
