Important Safety Instructions

• 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.
• NEVER use this appliance as a space
heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so
may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and
overheating of the oven.
• 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 flammable liquids. Do not
store explosives, such as aerosol cans, on or
near the appliance. Flammable materials may
explode and result in fire 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 BURNERS,
AREAS NEAR THESE BURNERS, OVEN
HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR
SURFACES OF THE OVEN OR WARMER
DRAWER (if equipped). Both surface burners
and oven heating elements may be hot even
though surface burner flames are not visible
or oven elements are dark in color. Areas near
surface burners 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.
• Never use your appliance for warming or
heating the room.
• In case of fire or gas leak, be sure to turn off
the main gas shutoff valve.
• 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.
• 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 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 fire or spoil.
Electronic controllers can be damaged by cold
temperatures. When you use your appliance
for the first 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.
