• Do not use the range for warming or heating the room.
• Do not leave children alone or unattended in the area where the range is in use.
Never allow children to sit or stand on any part of the range. Do not let children
play with the range.
• Do not store items of interest to children above the range. Children could be
burned or injured while climbing on the appliance.
• Do not wear loose or hanging apparel while using the range.
• Do not store combustible, flammable or explosive materials in the range or in
adjacent cabinets.
• Do not leave food or cooking utensils, etc., in the oven during the self-clean
cycle.
• Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of the range unless specifically
recommended in literature accompanying this appliance. All other service
should be referred to a qualified technician.
• Do not use water on grease fires. A violent steam explosion may result. Smother
any flames with a lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Flaming grease can be
extinguished with baking soda or a multipurpose chemical or foam extinguisher.
• Do not allow potholders to touch gas burners. Do not use a towel or bulky cloth
as a potholder.
• Do not use commercial oven cleaners or oven liner protective coatings on any
part of the oven.
• Do not clean the door gasket, because rubbing, moving or in any way damaging
the gasket, may eliminate the required tight door seal.
• DO NOT TOUCH INTERIOR SURFACES OF THE OVEN. During and after use, do
not touch or let clothing or other flammable materials contact heating elements
or interior surfaces of the oven until they have had sufficient time to cool.
• Do not block or obstruct the holes beneath the control knobs. Blocking these
holes may affect burner operation and may result in a hazard.
• When using the cooktop, do not touch the grates, burner caps, burner bases, or
any other parts in proximity to the flame. These components may be hot enough
to cause burns.
• If the range is near a window, do not use long curtains as a window treatment.
They can blow over the cooktop and create a fire hazard.
• Do not cover the burners and grates with anything except properly selected
utensils. Decorative covers should not be used.
• Do not heat unopened food containers such as baby food jars and cans.
Pressure buildup may cause the container to burst and cause injury.
• Do not use abrasive or caustic cleaners or detergents on this appliance, as these
may cause permanent damage. Do not use aerosol cleaners, as these may be
flammable or cause corrosion of metal parts.
• Do not use or attempt to use this appliance in the event of a power failure.
• Do not slide cookware across the grates. Sliding may damage the finish of the
grates. Lift utensils to reposition them.
• Do not allow acids (citrus juices, tomato sauces, etc.) to remain on the oven cell
surfaces. The porcelain finish may stain.
• Do not touch the range top or backguard with your bare hands during all
cooking and self cleaning modes. Venting from the oven may cause the
backguard to become hot.
