DO NOT LEAVE CHILDREN ALONE —
children should not be left alone or unattended in the
area where appliance is in use.
They should never be
allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance,
including the storage drawer, lower broiler drawer, warmer
drawer or lower double oven.
NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in
the oven bottom or cover an entire oven rack with materials
such as aluminum foil. Aluminum foil linings may trap heat,
causing a fire hazard.
Do not store items of interest to children in
the cabinets above a range or on the backguard of the
range.
Children climbing on the range to reach items
could be seriously injured.
DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE HEATING
UNITS, OR SURFACE COOKING ELEMENTS, AREAS
NEAR THESE SURFACE HEATING UNITS, OR INTERIOR
SURFACE OF THE OVEN.
Both surface heating and oven
heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in
color. Areas near surface cooking units may become hot
enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch,
or let clothing or other flammable materials touch these
areas until they have had sufficient time to cool. Among
these areas are the cook top, surfaces facing the cook top,
the oven vent openings and surfaces near these openings,
oven door and oven door window.
Wear proper apparel — loose-fitting or
hanging garments should never be worn while using the
appliance. Do not let clothing or other flammable
materials contact hot surfaces.
DO NOT USE WATER OR FLOUR on grease
fires — smother the fire with a pan lid, or use baking
soda, a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
When heating fat or grease, watch it
closely.
Fat or grease may catch fire if allowed to become
too hot.
Use dry potholders
—
moist or damp
potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from
steam.
Do not let potholders touch hot heating elements.
Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth instead of a
potholder.

Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed.
The oven vent is

on or near the oven vent. These items could melt or
ignite.

Placement of interior oven racks.
Always place oven
racks in desired location while oven is cool. If rack must
be moved while oven is hot use extreme caution. Use
potholders and grasp the rack with both hands to
reposition. Do not let potholders contact the hot heating
elements in the oven. Remove all utensils from the rack
before moving.
