SAFETY INFORMATION
 GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (CONT.)
WARNING
ŶNever 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.
ŶUse 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 grate, or oven heating element. 
Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place 
of pot holders.
ŶDo not touch 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 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 burners, grates, oven 
vent opening, surfaces near the opening, and 
crevices around the oven door.
ŶDo not heat unopened food containers. Pressure 
could build up and the container could burst, 
causing an injury.
ŶCook food thoroughly to help protect against 
foodborne illness. Minimum safe food 
temperature recommendations can be found 
at www.IsItDoneYet.gov and www.fsis.usda.
gov. Use a food thermometer to take food 
temperatures and check several locations.
ŶDo 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.
 KEEP FLAMMABLE MATERIALS AWAY FROM THE OVEN
Failure to do so may result in fire or personal injury.
