IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING
Stepping, leaning, or sitting on the door
or drawers of this appliance can result in
serious injuries and also cause damage to
the appliance.
Never cover any slots, holes or passages
in the oven bottom or cover and entire
rack with materials such as aluminum
foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the
oven and may cause carbon monoxide
poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may also
trap heat, causing a fire hazard.
Do not use oven or warmer drawer (if
equipped) for storage.
Never use your appliance as a space
heater to heat or warm the room. Doing
so may result in carbon monoxide
poisoning and overheating of the
appliance.
CAUTION
• When heating fat or grease, watch it
closely. Grease may catch fire if it be-
comes too hot.
• Do not use water or flour on grease
fires. Smother fire or flame or use dry
chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
Cover the fire with a pan lid or use
baking soda.
• Use dry potholders. Moist or damp pot-
holders on hot surfaces may result in
burns from steam. Do not let pothold-
ers touch hot cooking areas. Do not
use towels or other bulky cloths.
• Do not heat unopened food containers
- Build-up of pressure may cause con-
tainer to burst and result in injury.

CAUTION
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 touch surface burners or elements,
areas near these burners or elements,
interior surfaces of the oven, or the
warmer drawer (if equipped). Surface
burners and elements may be hot even
though they appear cool. Areas near
surface burners and elements 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 are cool.
These areas may include the cooktop,
surfaces facing the cooktop, oven vent
areas, oven door, and oven window.
Do not attempt to operate the appliance
during a power failure. If the power fails,
always turn off the appliance. If the
appliance is not turned off and the power
resumes, electric surface elements may
resume operation when power is restored.
Once the power resumes, reset the clock
and the oven function.
