• Storage in or on Appliance—Flammable materials should not
be stored in an oven, near surface elements or in the storage
drawer (if equipped). This includes paper, plastic and cloth items,
such as cookbooks, plasticware and towels, as well as flammable
liquids. Do not store explosives, such as aerosol cans, on or near
the range. Flammable materials may explode and result in fire or
property damage.
• Do not leave children alone. Children should not be left alone
or unattended in the area where an appliance is in use. They
should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of t h e
appliance.
• DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS, AREAS NEAR THESE UNITS,
HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF THE OVEN.
Both surface units and oven heating elements may be hot even
though they are dark in color. Areas near surface units may become
hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch,
or let clothing or other flammable materials touch these areas until
they have had sufficient time to cool. Among these areas are the
cooktop, surfaces facing the cooktop, the oven vent openings and
surfaces near these openings, oven door and window.
• Wear Proper Apparel—Loose-fitting or hanging garments
should never be worn while using the appliance. Do not let
clothing or other flammable materials contact hot surfaces.
Never use your appliance for warming or
heating the room.
• Do Not Use Water or Flour on Grease Fires—Smother the fire
with a pan lid, or use baking soda, a dry chemical or foam-type
extinguisher.
• When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Fat or grease
may catch fire if allowed to become too hot.
• Use Only Dry Potholders—Moist or damp potholders on hot
surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let the
potholders touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or
other bulky cloth instead of a potholder.
• Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers—Build-up of
pressure may cause the container to burst and result in injury.
• Remove the oven doors from any unused range if it is to be
stored or discarded.
• IMPORTANT—Do not attempt to operate the range during a
power failure. If the power fails, always turn off the range.
If the range is not turned off and the power resumes, the range will
