Safety Instructions

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

■ 

Do not store flammable materials in an
oven or near the cooktop.

■ 

CAUTION:

Items of interest to

children should not be stored in cabinets
above a range or on the backsplash of 
a range—children climbing on the range 
to reach items could be seriously injured.

■ 

Never wear loose-fitting or hanging
garments while using the appliance. 
Be careful when reaching for items stored 
over the range. Flammable material could
be ignited if brought in contact with hot
surface units or heating elements and 
may cause severe burns.

■ 

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 hot surface units or heating
elements. Do not use a towel or other 
bulky cloth in place of pot holders.

■ 

For your safety, never use your appliance
for warming or heating the room.

■ 

Teach children not to play with the
controls or any other part of the range.

■ 

Always keep dish towels, dish cloths, pot
holders and other linens a safe distance
from your range.

■ 

Always keep wooden and plastic utensils
and canned food a safe distance from 
your range.

■ 

Always keep combustible wall coverings,
curtains or drapes a safe distance from 
your range.

■ 

Do not let cooking grease or other
flammable materials accumulate in 
or near the range.

■ 

Keep the hood and grease filters clean 
to maintain good venting and to avoid 
grease fires.

■ 

Do not use water on grease fires. Never
pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls
off. Smother a flaming pan on a surface
unit by covering the pan completely with 
a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray.
Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or 
foam-type fire extinguisher.

Flaming grease outside a pan can be put
out by covering it with baking soda or, 
if available, by using a multi-purpose dry
chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

Flame in the oven can be smothered
completely by closing the oven door and
turning the oven off or by using a multi-
purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire
extinguisher.

■ 

Do not touch the surface units, 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 the surface units, areas
nearby the surface units or any interior
area of the oven; allow sufficient time for
cooling first.

Potentially hot surfaces include the
cooktop, areas facing the cooktop, oven
vent opening, surfaces near the opening,
crevices around the oven door.

REMEMBER:

The inside surface of the oven

may be hot when the door is opened.

■ 

Do not store or use combustible materials,
gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or any other
appliance.

WARNING!

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

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.

COOK MEAT AND POULTRY THOROUGHLY…

4

Do not operate the oven or cooktop controls if the glass is broken. Food splatter or cleaning solution
may penetrate a broken control panel and create a risk of electrical shock. Contact a qualified
technician immediately should your glass control panel become broken.
