IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read all instructions before using this appliance.
Stepping, leaning, or sitting on
the door or drawers of a range can result in
serious injuries and also cause damage to the
appliance. Do not allow children to climb or
play around the range. The weight of a child
on an open over door may cause the range
to tip, resulting in serious burns or other
injury.
Never cover any slots, holes, or
passages in the oven bottom or cover an
entire oven rack with materials, such as
aluminum foil. Aluminum foil linings may trap
heat, causing a fire hazard.
Wear proper apparel. Loose-
fitting or hanging garments should never be
worn while using this appliance. Do not let
clothing or other flammable materials come
into contact with hot surfaces.
Do not heat unopened food
containers. Build-up of pressure may cause
container to burst and result in injury.
When heating fat or grease,
watch it closely. Grease may catch fire if it
becomes 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 potholders on hot surfaces may result
in burns from steam. Do not let potholders
touch hot cooking areas. Do not use towels or
other bulky cloths.
Important: Important Safety Notice - The
California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic
Enforcement Act requires the governor of
California to publish a list of substances

nesses to warn customers of potential
exposures to such substances.

instructions and precautions for unpacking,
installing, and servicing your appliance:
