CAUTION - Use dry potholders. Moist
or damp potholders on hot surfaces may
result in burns from steam. Do not let pot-
holders touch hot cooking areas. Do not
use towels or other bulky cloths.

food containers - Build-up of pressure
may cause container to burst and result in
injury.

Loose-fitting or hanging garments should
never be worn while using the appliance.
Do not let clothing or other flammable
materials contact hot surfaces.
CAUTION- Do not touch surface burn-
ers or elements, areas near these burners
or elements, interior surfaces of the oven,
or the warmer drawer (if equipped). Sur-
face burners and elements may be hot
even though they appear cool. Areas near
surface burners and elements may be-
come hot enough to cause burns. During

or other flammable materials touch these
areas until they are cool. These areas may

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR GAS COOKTOP
CAUTION - Use Proper Flame Size —
Adjust flame size so it does not extend
beyond the edge of the utensil. The use of
undersized utensils will expose a portion
of the burner flame to direct contact and
may result in ignition of clothing. Proper
relationship of utensil to flame will also
improve eciency.
Know which knob or key controls each
surface heating area. Place cookware with
food on the cooking area before turning it
on. Turn the cooking area o before re-
moving the cookware.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR OVEN
Protective liners—Do not use aluminum
foil, aftermarket oven liners, or any other
materials or devices to line oven bottom,
oven racks, or any other part of the appli-
ance. Only use aluminum as recommended
for baking, such as lining cookware or as
a cover placed on food. Any other use
of protective liners or aluminum foil may
result in a risk of electric shock or fire or a
short circuit.
Use care when opening oven door, lower
oven door, or warmer drawer (some mod-
els). Stand to the side of the appliance
when opening the door of a hot oven. Let
hot air or steam escape before you remove
or replace food in the oven.
Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed.
Touching surfaces in this area when the
oven is on may cause severe burns. Do not
place plastic or heat-sensitive items on or
near the oven vent. These items can melt
or ignite.
