WARNING

■

 Never 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.

■

 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 surface 
burners, burner grate, or oven heating element. 
Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place 
of pot holders.

■

 Do 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.

■

 Do not heat unopened food containers. 
Pressure could build up and the container could 
burst, causing an injury.

■

 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. 

KEEP FLAMMABLE MATERIALS AWAY FROM THE OVEN

Failure to do so may result in fire or personal injury.
