Stepping, leaning or sitting on the door or drawer of this appliance
can result in serious injuries and may also cause damage to the appliance. Do not
allow children to climb or play around the appliance. The weight of a child on an open door
may cause the appliance to tip, resulting in serious burns or other injury. An open drawer,
when hot, may cause burns.
Do not use the oven or warmer drawer (if equipped) for storage.
• Storage in or on Appliance—Flammable materials should not be stored in an oven,
near surface units or in the drawer (if equipped). This includes paper, plastic and cloth
items, such as cookbooks, plasticware and towels, as well as fl ammable liquids. Do not
store explosives, such as aerosol cans, on or near the appliance. Flammable materials
may explode and result in fi re or property damage.
Do not store items of interest to children in the cabinets above the
appliance. Children climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously injured.
• 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 the appliance.
• DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS, AREAS NEAR THESE UNITS, OVEN HEATING
ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF THE OVEN OR WARMER DRAWER (if
equipped). 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 fl ammable materials touch these areas
until they have had suffi cient 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-fi tting or hanging garments should never be worn
while using the appliance. Do not let clothing or other fl ammable 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 fi re 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 fi re 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 surface units or interior
oven 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 door from any unused appliance if it is to be stored or
discarded.
• IMPORTANT—Do not attempt to operate the oven during a power failure. If the power
fails, always turn the oven off. If the oven is not turned off and the power resumes, the
oven may begin to operate again. Food left unattended could catch fi re or spoil.
Electronic controllers can be damaged by cold temperatures. When you
use your appliance for the fi rst time, or if it has not been used for a long period of
time, make sure that it has been exposed to a temperature above 0°C/32°F for at least
3 hours before connecting it to the power supply.
