Child Safety
To Prevent Fire or
Smoke Damage
Be sure all packing materials are removed from the
appliance before operating it.
Keep area around appliance clear and free from
combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable
vapors and materials.
If appliance is installed near a window, proper
precautions should be taken to prevent curtains from
blowing over burners.
NEVER leave any items on the cooktop. The hot air from
the vent may ignite flammable items and may increase
pressure in closed containers which may cause them
to burst.
Many aerosol-type spray cans are EXPLOSIVE when
exposed to heat and may be highly flammable. Avoid
their use or storage near an appliance.
Many plastics are vulnerable to heat. Keep plastics away
from parts of the appliance that may become warm or
hot. Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop as they
may melt or soften if left too close to the vent or a lighted
surface burner.
To eliminate the hazard of reaching over hot surface
burners, cabinet storage should not be provided directly
above a unit. If storage is provided, it should be limited to
items which are used infrequently and which are safely
stored in an area subjected to heat from an appliance.
Temperatures may be unsafe for some items, such as
volatile liquids, cleaners or aerosol sprays.
In Case of Fire
Turn off appliance and ventilating hood to avoid
spreading the flame. Extinguish flame, then turn on hood
to remove smoke and odor.
• Cooktop: Smother fire or flame in a pan with a lid or
cookie sheet.
NEVER pick up or move a flaming pan.
• Oven: Smother fire or flame by closing the oven door.
Do not use water on grease fires. Use baking soda, a dry
chemical or foam-type extinguisher to smother fire
or flame.
NEVER leave children alone or unsupervised near the
appliance when it is in use or is still hot.
NEVER allow children to sit or stand on any part of the
appliance as they could be injured or burned.
Children must be taught that the appliance and utensils
in it can be hot. Let hot utensils cool in a safe place, out
of reach of small children. Children should be taught
that an appliance is not a toy. Children should not be
allowed to play with controls or other parts of the
appliance.
About Your Appliance
Do not use the oven as a storage area for food or
cooking utensils.
The oven vent is located at the base of the backguard.
Avoid touching oven vent area while oven is on and for
several minutes after oven is turned off. Some parts of
the vent and surrounding area become hot enough to
cause burns. After oven is turned off, do not touch the
oven vent or surrounding areas until they have had
sufficient time to cool.
Other potentially hot surfaces include cooktop, areas
facing the cooktop, oven vent, surface near the vent
opening, oven door, area around the oven door and oven
window.
