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 back-
guards 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 appli-
ance.
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 after-
market 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.
WARNING
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.
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.
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.
