Whirlpool TGR51WO Range User Manual


 
l
Do not use the range for warming or
heating the room. Persons could be
burned or injured, or a fire could start.
l
Do not attempt to light the oven burner
during a power failure. Personal injury
could result. Reset oven controls to the
off position in the event of a power failure.
l
Use the range only for its intended use as
described in this manual.
l
Do not touch surface burners, areas near
surface burners or interior surfaces of
oven. Areas near surface burners and
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 surface
burners, areas near surface burners or
interior surfaces of oven until they have
had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces
of the range, such as the oven vent
opening, the surface near the vent
opening, the cooktop, the oven door
and window, could also become hot
enough to cause bums.
l
Do not wear loose or hanging garments
when using the range. They could ignite
if they touch an open flame and you could
be burned.
l
Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp
potholders on hot surfaces could result in
burns from steam. Do not let potholder
touch an open flame. Do not use a towel
or bulky cloth for a potholder. It could
catch on fire.
l
Keep range vents unobstructed.
l
Do not heat unopened containers. They
couM explode. The hot contents could
cause burns and container particles could
cause injury.
l
Do not store flammable materials on or
near the range. The fumes could create
an explosion and/or fire hazard.
l
Do not use the oven for storage.
l
Do not use aluminum foil to line reflector
pans, oven bottom, or any other part of
the range. Use aluminum foil only as
recommended in this manual.
l
Never use a match or other flame to look
for a gas leak. Explosion and injury could
result.
l
Know where your main gas shutoff valve
is located.
When using the cooktop
l
Make sure the utensils you use are large
enough to contain food and avoid boil-
overs and spillovers. Heavy splattering or
spillovers left on a range could ignite and
burn you. Pan size is especially important
in deep fat frying.
l
Check to be sure glass cooking utensils
are safe for use on the range. Only
certain types of glass, glass-ceramic,
ceramic, earthenware or other glazed
utensils are suitable for cooktops without
breaking due to the sudden change in
temperature.
l
Never leave surface burners unattended
at high heat settings. A boilover could
result and cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that could ignite.
l
Turn pan handles inward, but not over
other surface burners. This will help
reduce the chance of burns, igniting of
flammable materials, and spills due to
bumping of the pan.
l
Do not use decorative covers or trivets
over the surface burners.
