Do not store items of interest to
children above a range or on the backguard of a
range—children climbing on the range to reach
items could be seriously injured.
■ 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 hot surface
units or heating elements. Do not use a towel or
other bulky cloth in place of pot holders.
■ Neveruseyourapplianceforwarmingorheating
the room.
■ Besureallpackingmaterialsareremovedfromthe
range before operating to prevent ignition of these
materials.
■ Donotuseanytypeoffoilorlinertocoverthe
oven bottom or anywhere in the oven, except as
described in this manual. Oven liners can trap heat
or melt, resulting in damage to the product and risk
of shock, smoke or fire.
■ Do not use the oven if a heating element develops
a glowing spot during use or shows other signs of
damage. A glowing spot indicates the surface unit
may fail and present a potential burn, fire, or shock
hazard. Turn the heating element off immediately
and have it replaced by a qualified service
technician.
■ Donottouchthesurfaceunits,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
the surface units, areas nearby the surface units or
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 cooktop, areas facing the
cooktop, oven vent opening, surfaces near the
opening and crevices around the oven door.
■ Donotheatunopenedfoodcontainers.Pressure
could build up and the container could burst,
causing an injury.
■ Avoidscratchingorimpactingglassdoors,cooktops
or control panels. Doing so may lead to glass
breakage. Do not cook on a product with broken
glass. Shock, fire or cuts may occur. Contact a
qualified technician immediately.
■ Cookfoodthoroughlytohelpprotectagainst
foodborne illness. Minimum safe food temperature
recommendations can be found at IsItDoneYet.gov
and 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.
