GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (CONT.)

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 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.

Do 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.
