l
Do not use the range for warming or
heating the room. Persons could be
burned or injured, or a fire could start.
l
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.
l
Use the range only for its intended use
as described in this manual.
l
Do not touch surface burners, areas
near surface burners or interior surfaces
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 suffiiient
time to cool. Other sur-
faces of the range, such as the oven
vent opening, the surface near the vent
opening, the cooktop, the oven door and
window, could also become hot enough
to cause burns.
l
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.
l
Use only dry potholders.
Moist or damp
potholders on hot surfaces could result in
burns from steam. Do not let pothoMer
touch an open flame. Do not use a towel
or bulky cloth for a potholder. It could
catch on fire.
l
Keep range vents unobstructed.
l
Do not heat unopened containers.
They
coukl explode. The hot contents could
cause burns and container particles
could cause injury.
l
Do not store flammable materials on or
near the range. The fumes could create
an explosion and/or fire hazard.
l
Do not use the oven for storage.
l
Do not use aluminum foil to line surface
burner well area, oven bottom, or any
other part of the range. Use aluminum
foil only as recommended
in this manual.
l
Never use a match or other flame to look
for a gas leak. Explosion and injury could
result.
l
Know where your main gas shutoff valve
is located.
When
using
the
cooktop
l
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 coukl
ignite and bum you. Pan size is
especially important in deep fat frying.
l
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 without
breaking due to the sudden change in
temperature.
l
Never leave surface burners unattended
at high heat settings. A boilover could
result and cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that could ignite.
