Do not operate the oven or cooktop controls if the glass is broken. Food splatter or cleaning solution may
penetrate a broken control panel and create a risk of electrical shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately
should your glass control panel become broken.
Do not store flammable materials in an oven or
near the cooktop.
CAUTION : Items of interest to children should not
be stored in cabinets above a range or on the backsplash of
a range—children climbing on the range to reach items could
be seriously injured.
Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while
using the appliance. Be careful when reaching for
items stored over the range. Flammable material
could be ignited if brought in contact with hot
surface units or heating elements and may cause
severe burns.
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 hot surface
units or heating elements. Do not use a towel or
other bulky cloth in place of pot holders.
Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up
a flaming pan. Turn the controls off. Smother a
flaming pan on a surface unit by covering the pan
completely with a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat
tray. Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type
fire extinguisher.
Flaming grease outside a pan can be put out by
covering it with baking soda or, if available, by using
a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire
extinguisher.
Flame in the oven can be smothered completely
by closing the oven door and turning the oven off or
by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type
fire extinguisher.
For your safety, never use your appliance for
warming or heating the room.
Do not let cooking grease or other flammable
materials accumulate in or near the range.
Do not touch the surface units, 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 the
surface units, areas nearby the surface units or any
interior area of the oven; allow sufficient time for
cooling first.
Potentially hot surfaces include the cooktop, areas
facing the cooktop, oven vent opening, surfaces near
the opening, crevices around the oven door.
REMEMBER: The inside surface of the oven may be hot when
the door is opened.
Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline
or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity
of this or any other appliance.
Keep the hood and grease filters clean to maintain
good venting and to avoid grease fires.
Teach children not to play with the controls or any
other part of the range.
Always keep dish towels, dish cloths, pot holders and
other linens a safe distance from your range.
Always keep wooden and plastic utensils and canned
food a safe distance from your range.
