11. CAUTIONDo not store items of interest to children in cabinets above an oven-children who
climb onto the oven to reach items could be seriously injured.
12. Never block the vents (air openings) of the range. They provide the air inlets and outlets that are
necessary for the range to operate properly with correct combustion. Air openings are located at the rear of
the cooktop, at the top and bottom of the oven door, and at the bottom of the range.
13. Use only dry pot holders--moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do
not let pot holders touch surface burners, burner grate, or oven heating element. Do not use a towel or other
bulky fabrics in place of pot holders.
14. Do not touch the heating elements or the interior surface of the oven. These surfaces may be hot enough
to burn even though they are dark in color. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other
flammable materials contact any interior area of the oven; allow sufficient time for cooling first. Other
surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to cause burns. Potentially hot surfaces include the
burners, grates, oven vent opening, surfaces near the opening, crevices around the oven door, metal trim
parts above the door, any back guard, or high shelf surface.
15. Do not heat unopened food containers. Pressure could build up and the container could burst, causing
any injury.
WARNING Extremely Heavy.
Proper equipment and adequate manpower are needed when move the range to avoid personal injury or damage
to the unit or the floor.
Failure to follow this advice may result in damage or personal injury.
WARNING DO NOT carry or lift the cooking range by the oven door handle or the control panel!

WARNING Never pour cold water to hot surfaces in a hot oven. The steam created could
cause serious burns or scalding and the sudden change in temperature can damage the enamel in the oven.
WARNING Cook food thoroughly to help protect against foodborne illness. Minimum safe food
temperature recommendations can be found at www.IsItDoneYet.gov and www.fsis.usda.gov. Use a food
thermometer to take food temperatures and check several locations.
Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on the oven door, drawer or cooktop. They could damage the
range or tip it over causing severe injury or death.
Keep the ventilator hood and grease filter clean to maintain good venting and to avoid grease fires. Turn the
ventilator OFF in case of a fire or when intentionally "flaming" liquor or other spirits on the cooktop. The
blower if in operation, could spread the flames.
