• Do not operate the range if it is damag-
ed or not working properly.
• Do not use the range for warming or
heating the room. Persons could be
burned or injured, or a fire could start.
• Do not attempt to light the oven burner
during a power failure. Personal injury
could result. Reset oven controls to the
off position in the event of a power
failure.
• Use the range only for its intended use
as described in this manual.
• Do not touch surface burners, areas
near surface burners, or interior sur-
faces of oven. Areas near surface
burners and interior surfaces of an oven
become hot enough to cause burns.
During and after use, do not touch, or let
clothing or other flammable materials
contact surface burners, areas near
surface burners, or interior surfaces of
oven until they have had sufficient time
to cool. Other surfaces of the range,
such as the oven vent opening, the
surface near the vent opening, the
cooktop, and the oven door and window,
could also become hot enough to cause
burns.
• Do not wear loose or hanging garments
when using the range. They could ignite
if they touch an open flame and you
could be burned.
• Use only dry pot holders. Moist or damp
pot holders on hot surfaces could result
in burns from steam. Do not let pot
holder touch an open flame. Do not use
a towel or bulky cloth for a pot holder. It
could catch on fire.
• Keep range vents unobstructed.
• Do not heat unopened containers. They
could explode. The hot contents could
cause burns and container particles
could cause injury.
• Use only utensils approved for oven
use. Follow utensil manufacturer's
instructions, especially when using glass
or plastic utensils.
• Do not store flammable materials on or
near the range. The fumes could create
an explosion and/or fire hazard.
• Do not use the oven for storage.
• Do not use aluminum foil to line burner
pans, oven bottom, or any other part of
the range. Use aluminum foil only as
recommended
in this manual.
• Never use a match or other flame to
look for a gas leak. Explosion and injury
could result.
• Know where your main gas shutoff valve
is located.
When
using
the
cooktop
• Make sure the utensils you use are
large enough to contain food and avoid
boilovers and spillovers. Heavy splatter-
ing or spillovers left on a range could
ignite and burn you. Pan size is espe-
cially important in deep fat frying.
• Check to be sure glass cooking utensils
are safe for use on the range. Only
certain types of glass, glass-ceramic,
ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed
utensils are suitable for cooktops with-
out breaking due to the sudden change
in temperature.
