• Cold temperatures can damage the electronic
control. When using this appliance for the first
time, or when the appliance has not been used for
an extended period of time, be sure the appliance
has been in temperatures above 32ºF (0ºC) for at
least 3 hours before turning on the power to the
appliance.
• Remove the oven door from any unused range if it
is to be stored or discarded.
• Be sure to have an appropriate foam-type fire
extinguisher available, visible, and easily acces-
sible located near the appliance.
WARNING
• Do not leave children alone - Children should not
be left alone or unattended in the area where the
appliance is in use. They should never be
allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appli-
ance, including the storage drawer, lower broiler
drawer, warmer drawer, or lower double oven.
• Stepping, leaning, or sitting on the door or
drawers of a oven can result in serious injuries
and also cause damage to the appliance. Do not
allow children to climb or play around the oven.
The weight of a child on an open oven door may
cause the oven to tip, resulting in serious burns
or other injury.
• Never cover any slots, holes, or passages in the
oven bottom or cover an entire oven rack with
materials, such as aluminum foil. Aluminum foil
linings may trap heat, causing a fire hazard.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Save these instructions for future reference.
CAUTION
• Do not touch heating elements or interior
surfaces of oven - Heating elements may be hot
even though they are dark in color. 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 these areas until they are cool. These
areas may include the cooktop, surfaces facing
the cooktop, oven vent areas, oven door, and
oven window.
• Wear proper apparel - Loose-fitting or hanging
garments should never be worn while using the
appliance.
• Do not heat unopened food containers - Build-up
of pressure may cause container to burst and
result in injury.
• Watch closely when heating fat or grease.
Grease may catch fire if it becomes too hot.
• Do not use water or flour on grease fires.
Smother fire or flame or use dry chemical or
foam-type extinguisher. Cover the fire with a pan
lid or use baking soda.
• Use dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on
hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do
not let potholders touch hot cooking areas. Do
not use towels or other bulky cloths.
