If a range is installed neara window, properprecautions
should be taken to prevent curtains from blowing over
burners creating a FIRE HAZARD.

The range should not be
used as a space heater to
heat or warm a room. This
instruction is based on safety
considerations, to prevent
potential hazards and to pre-
vent damage to range.

Children should be taught
that the range is not a toy.
They should not be allowed
to play with range controls
or other parts of the range.

Children MUST be taught that the range and utensils
on the range can be hot.

items of interest to children

the backguard, or back-
splash of a range. Children
climbing on the range to
reach items could be seri-
ously injured.

nets above.
l
Children should not be allowed to sit or stand on any
part of the range.

Let hot utensils cool in a safe place, out of reach of
small children.
GAS ODORS
l
A faint gas odor may indicate a pilot light is out. To re-
light pilots, follow instructions on page 2. If a gas odor
is detected when the pilot is burning, cut off the gas
supply to the range. Call your installeror local gascom-
pany to have the possible leak checked. NEVER USE A
MATCHOROTHERFLAMETOLOCATEAGASLEAK.
SURFACE COOKING SAFETY
l
To eliminate the hazard of reaching over hot surface
burners, cabinet storage space should not be provided
over a range. TEMPERATURES IN STORAGE AREAS
ABOVE THE RANGE MAY BE UNSAFE FOR STOR-
AGE OF SOME TYPES OF MATERIALS SUCH AS
VOLATILE LIQUIDS OR AEROSOL SPRAYS.
l
A cooking utensil should be in place whenever a sur-
face burner is turned on. The utensil will absorb heat
and prevent possible damage to the grate and surface
burner. The utensil will also serve as a shield from the
burner in case any combustible materials are nearby.
