IMPORTANT
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. DO NOT allow children to use or
play with any part of the range,
or leave them unattended near
it. They could be burned or
injured.
2. DO NOT store things children
might want above the range.
Children could be burned or
injured while climbing on it.
3. DO NOT allow anyone to touch a
hot surface burner, oven burner
or areas around them. They
could be hot enough to burn
severely.
4. KEEP children away from the
range when it is on. The cooktop,
oven walls, racks and door can
be hot enough to cause burns.
5. DO NOT use a range to heat a
room. Persons in the room could
be burned or injured, or a fire
could start.
6. KEEP pan handles turned in, but
not over another surface burner
to prevent burns, injury and to
help prevent the utensil from
being pushed off the cooktop.
7. DO NOT use water on grease
fires. The fire will spread. Cover
fire with large lid or smother with
baking soda or salt.
8. DO NOT wear loose or hanging
garments when using the range.
They could ignite if they touch a
hot burner or surrounding area
and you could be burned.
9. DO NOT heat unopened con-
tainers. They could explode. The
hot contents could burn and
container particles could cause
injury.
10. When adding or removing
food, MAKE SURE to open the
oven door all the way to
prevent burns.
continued on next page

11. DO NOT use a wet pot holder.
Steam burns can result. DO NOT
use a towel or bulky cloth as a
pot holder. They could catch fire
and burn you.
12. MAKE SURE the utensils you use
are large enough to contain
food and avoid boil overs and
spillovers. This will help prevent
hazardous build-ups of food.
Heavy splattering or spillovers
left on a range can ignite and
burn you. Pan size is especially
important in deep fat frying.
13. DO NOT leave surface burners
on high heat settings. Boil overs
and greasy spillovers could
cause steam, smoke and could
ignite and burn you.
14. GREASE is flammable and
should be handled carefully. Let
fat cool before attempting to
handle it. Do not allow grease
to collect around range or
in vents. Wipe spillovers
immediately.
15. NEVER use a match or other
flame to look for a gas leak.
Explosion and injury could result.
16. DO NOT repair or replace any
parts unless specifically recom-
mended in this manual. All other
servicing should be referred to a
qualified service technician.
