IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING THE
APPLIANCE
Storage In or On Appliance—Flammable materials
should not be stored in an oven or microwave, near
surface burners or elements, or in the storage or
warmer drawer (if equipped). This includes paper,
plastic, and cloth items, such as cookbooks, plastic
ware, and towels, as well as flammable liquids. Do
not store explosives, such as aerosol cans, on or
near the appliance.
Do not leave children alone - Children should not be
left alone or unattended in the area where appliance
is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or
stand on any part of the appliance, including the
storage drawer, lower broiler drawer, warmer
drawer, or lower double oven.
Do not store items of interest to children in the
cabinets above the appliance or on the backguards
of ranges. Children climbing on or near the
appliance to reach items could be seriously injured.
Do not allow children to climb or play around the
appliance. The weight of a child on an open over
door may cause the appliance to tip, resulting in
serious burns or other injury. An open drawer when
hot may cause burns.
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 an entire oven rack with any
materials, such as aluminum foil or aftermarket oven
liners. Aluminum foil and other liners may 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 appli-
ance.
WARNING
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 extin-
guisher. 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.
Do not heat unopened food containers - Build-up of
pressure may cause container to burst and result in
injury.
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.
