IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene,
carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by the imperfect combustion
of natural or LP gas. Correctly adjusted burners, indicated by a bluish rather than a yellow
flame, will minimize imperfect combustion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized
by opening windows or using a ventilation fan or hood.
•
DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF OVEN.
Heating
elements may be hot even though they are dark in color. Interior surfaces of an oven
become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch or let clothing or
other flammable materials contact heating elements or interior surfaces of oven until they
have had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces, such as oven vent openings and surfaces
near these openings, oven doors, and windows of oven doors, also get hot and may cause
burns if not cooled.
•
Use care when opening door.
The hot air and steam that escape can cause burns to
hands, face and eyes. Let hot air or steam escape from the oven before removing or
replacing food in the oven.
•
Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recommended in the
manual. All other servicing should be performed by a qualified technician.
•
Do not use harsh etching, abrasive cleaners or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven
door glass since they can scratch the surface. Scratches may cause the glass to shatter.
WARNING
If the door glass, surface, or oven heating unit of the range are damaged, discontinue
use of the range and call for service.
•
Do not use plastic to cover food. Use foil or oven-safe lids only.
•
Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on the door or cooktop. They could damage
the range and even tip it over, causing severe personal injury.
•
Do not line the oven walls, racks, bottom, or any other part of the oven with aluminum foil
or any other material. Doing so will disrupt heat distribution, produce poor baking results
and cause permanent damage to the oven interior (aluminum foil will melt to the interior
surface of the oven)
•
Never attempt to dry a pet in the oven.
•
Never use your appliance for warming or heating the room.
•
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when removing food from the oven or the surface
element. Cookware will be hot.
Use only dry pot holders.
Moist or damp pot holders on
hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let the pot holder touch hot heating
elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth to remove food.
•
Do not heat unopened food containers.
Pressure in the containers may cause them to
burst which may result in injury.
•
Large scratches or impacts to glass doors can lead to broken or shattered glass.
•
Leak testing of the appliance must be conducted according to the manufacturer’s
instructions.
•
To eliminate the risk of burns or fire caused by reaching over heated surface units, cabinet
storage space located above the surface units should be avoided. If cabinet storage is to
be provided, the risk can be reduced by installing a range hood that projects horizontally a
minimum of 5 inches beyond the bottom of the cabinets.
