SAFETY PRECAUTIONS - BEFORE YOU BEGIN
(CONTINUED)

USER SAFETY

EN
BURN HAZARD - All parts of the range can get very hot during operation, especially the oven door
glass and areas surrounding the door. Do not touch the appliance while in operation. Failure to
observe these instructions may result in severe burns or injury. Use pot holders / gloves to protect
yourself when placing food in the oven, adjusting the racks, etc.
The broil burner is in the top of the oven cavity, and the bake burner is hidden beneath the floor
of the oven cavity. These burners may be hot, even though they are not glowing. During or after
cooking, allow sufficient time for all surfaces to cool.
Use only dry or heat-resistant pot holders / gloves. Using moist or damp potholders can result in
steam burns. Do not substitute dish towels or similar items for potholders. These items could come
in contact with hot surfaces and ignite.
Avoid wearing loose-fitting garments or long sleeves while cooking. They could ignite. For personal
safety, wear proper apparel while using the appliance. Some synthetic fabrics are highly flammable
and should not be worn while cooking.
Open the oven door slowly to allow heat and steam to escape before placing or removing food from
the oven. Keep your face away from the opening to avoid injury.
For safety considerations, 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.
Do not use the oven as a storage space. The high temperatures could also ignite flammable objects
nearby.
NEVER cover any slots, holes, or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire oven rack with
materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the oven and may cause carbon
monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat, causing a fire hazard. Do not use
aluminum foil to line the surface burners. Doing so may result in a risk of electric shock, or fire.
Do not allow anyone to climb, stand, step on, lean against, or sit on any part of the appliance,
especially the oven door. This may result in damage to the appliance, or personal injury.

FIRE SAFETY

To reduce the risk of a fire, do not leave surface burners unattended at high settings. Boil-overs could
smother the flames and igniter, which would allow un-burned gas to escape into the room, which
could result in an explosion.
Always turn on the ventilation hood when cooking. Clean vent hood grease filters frequently -
grease should not be allowed to accumulate on the fan or filters.
Use the appropriate pan size for the burner being used. For safety considerations, adjust the flame
size so they do not travel up the sides of the pan.
Keep the appliance area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable
vapors and liquids. NEVER store flammable liquids and materials in, above, or on the range, or near
cooking surfaces. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air of the appliance.
ALWAYS have a working smoke detector near the kitchen.
