■ 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.
■ Always keep combustible wall coverings,
curtains or drapes a safe distance from
your range.
■ Do not clean the range with flammable or
volatile cleaning fluids.
■ After prolonged use of a range, high floor
temperatures may result and many floor
coverings will not withstand this kind of
use. Never install the range over vinyl tile
or linoleum that cannot withstand such
type of use. Never install it directly over
interior kitchen carpeting.
■ Avoid scratching the glass cooktop with
sharp instruments, or with rings and other
jewelry.
■ Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or
hang on the oven door, storage drawer or
cooktop. They could damage the range
and even tip it over, causing severe
personal injury.
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.
■ For your safety, never use your appliance
for warming or heating the room.
■ Large scratches or impacts to glass doors
can lead to broken or shattered glass.
■ Do not clean the range when the appliance
is in use.
■ Never wear loose-fitting or hanging
garments while using the appliance.
Be careful when reaching for items stored
in cabinets over the range. Flammable
material could be ignited if brought in
contact with flame or hot oven surfaces
and may cause severe burns.
■ Do not store flammable materials in an
oven, a range storage drawer or near a
cooktop.
■ Do not store or use combustible materials,
gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or any other
appliance.
■ Do not let cooking grease or other
flammable materials accumulate in or
near the range.
■ Do not use water on grease fires. Never
pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls
off. Smother a flaming pan on a surface
burner 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 control to off or by using a
multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type
fire extinguisher.
■ Let the burner grates and other surfaces
cool before touching them or leaving
them where children can reach them.
■ Never block the vents (air openings) of
the range. They provide the air inlet and
outlet 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 storage drawer or kick panel.
■ Do not lift the cooktop. Lifting the
cooktop can lead to damage and improper
operation of the range.
