Safety Practices to Avoid Personal Injury
WARNING:
NEVER use this appliance as a space heater
to heat or warm the room. Doing so may
result in carbon monoxide poisoning and
overheating of the oven.
WARNING — RANGE TIPPING
HAZARD:
• All ranges can tip and injury can result. To
prevent accidental tipping of the range,
attach it to the floor, wall, or cabinet by
installing the Anti-Tip Device supplied.
• A risk of tip-over may exist if the appliance
is not installed in accordance with these
instructions.
• If the range is pulled away from the wall for
cleaning, service, or any other reason,
ensure that the Anti-Tip Device is properly
reengaged when the range is pushed back
against the wall. In the event of abnormal
usage (such as a person standing, sitting,
or leaning on an open door), failure to take
this precaution can result in tipping of the
range. Personal injury might result from
spilled hot liquids or from the range itself.
WARNING:
NEVER cover any slots, holes, or passages
in the oven bottom or cover an entire rack
with materials such as aluminum foil. Doing
so blocks air flow through the oven.
Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat,
causing a fire hazard.
WARNING:
The appliance is for cooking. Based on safety
considerations, never use the oven or cooktop
to warm or heat a room. Also, such use can
damage the cooktop or oven parts.
When using the cooktop: DO NOT TOUCH THE BURNER
GRATES OR THE IMMEDIATE SURROUNDING AREA.
Areas adjacent to the burners may become hot enough to
cause burns.
Never leave the range unattended when using high flame
settings. Boil overs cause smoking and greasy spillovers
that may ignite. Also, if the burner flames and igniter are
smothered with spillage, unburned gas will escape into the
room. See page 1 regarding gas leaks.
Only certain types of glass, heatproof glass-ceramic,
ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed cookware are
suitable for cooking on the range burners. This type of
cookware may break with sudden temperature changes.
Use only on low or medium heat settings according to the
utensil manufacturer's directions.
Do not heat or warm unopened food containers. Build-up of
pressure may cause the container to burst and cause
injury.
During cooking, set the burner control so that the flame
heats only the bottom of the pan and does not extend
beyond the bottom of the pan.
WARNING:
Avoid using high flame setting with a pan larger
than the grate or with one that spans more than
one burner, such as a griddle, for prolonged
periods of time. This can result in poor
combustion that generates harmful by-products.
Bakeware, such as large casserole pans, cookie sheets,
etc., should never be used on the cooktop.
Use caution to insure that drafts like those from forced air
vents or fans do not blow flammable material toward the
flames or push the flames so that they extend beyond the
edges of the pot.
Always use pots and pans that have flat bottoms large
enough to cover the burner. The use of undersized pots
and pans could expose a portion of the flame and may
result in ignition of clothing.
Do not use flammable cleaners to clean the range.
To minimize the risk of burns, ignition of flammable
materials and unintentional spillage, position handles of
pots and pans inward so they do not extend over adjacent
work areas, cooking areas, or the edge of the range's
cooktop.
Hold the handle of the pan to prevent movement when
stirring or turning food.
DO NOT use pots or pans on the grill plate accessory.
Do not use the grill plate accessory for cooking excessively
fatty meats or products which promote flare-ups.
