IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING
WARNING
GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (cont'd)
• 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 under the warming drawer, lower oven drawer or kick panel.
• 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 grates, or oven heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in
place of pot holders.
• Be careful not to touch hot surfaces of the range. Potentially hot surfaces include burners, grates, cooktop,
backguard, oven and door interior and crevices around the oven door.
• Do not heat unopened food containers. Pressure could build up and the container could burst, causing an injury.
• Cook meat and poultry thoroughly - meat to at least an internal temperature of 160°F and poultry to at least an internal
temperature of 180°F. Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against foodborne illness.
WARNING
KEEP FLAMMABLE MATERIALS AWAY FROM THE RANGE
• Do not store or use fl ammable materials in an oven or near the cooktop, including paper, plastic, pot holders, linens,
wall coverings, curtains, drapes and gasoline or other fl ammable vapors and liquids.
• Never wear loose-fi tting or hanging garments while using the appliance. Avoid storing commonly used items in
cabinets above the range and be careful when reaching over the range. Clothing in close proximity to burners or hot
surfaces may ignite causing severe burns.
• Do not let cooking grease or other fl ammable materials accumulate in or near the range. Grease in the oven or on the
cooktop may ingnite.
• Clean ventilating hoods frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on the hood or fi lter.
WARNING
IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE, TAKE THE FOLLOWING STEPS
TO PREVENT THE FIRE FROM SPREADING
• Do not use water on grease fi res. Never pick up a fl aming pan. Turn the controls off. Smother a fl aming pan on a
surface burner by covering the pan completely with a well-fi tting lid, cookie sheet or fl at tray. If necessary, use a multi-
purpose dry chemical or foam-type fi re extinguisher.
• If there is a fi re in the oven during baking, turn the oven off and keep the door closed until the fi re goes out. If
necessary, use a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fi re extinguisher.
• If there is a fi re in the oven during self-clean, turn the oven off and wait for the fi re to go out. Do not force the door
open. Introduction of fresh air at self-clean temperatures may lead to a burst of fl ame from the oven. Failure to follow
this instruction may result in severe burns.
