RANGE SAFETY
•CAUTION: Do not store things
children might want above the
range. Children could be burned
or injured while climbing on it.
•Do not leave children alone or
unattended in area where the
range is in use. They should never
be allowed to sit or stand on any
part of the range. They could be
burned or injured.
•Do not operate the range if it
is damaged or not working
properly.
•Do not use the range for warm-
ing or heating the room. Persons
could be burned or injured, or a
fire could start.
•Use the range only for its in-
tended use as described in this
manual.
•Do not touch surface units, areas
near units, heating elements, or
interior surfaces of oven. Surface
units and heating elements may
be hot even though they are dark
in color. Areas near surface units
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 units, areas near units,
heating elements, 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 sur-
face near the vent opening, the
cooktop, and the oven door and
window, could also become hot
enough to cause burns.
•Do not wear loose or hanging
garments when using the range.
They could ignite if they touch
a hot surface unit and you could
be burned.
•Use only dry pot holders. Moist or
damp pot holders on hot surfaces
could result in burns from steam.
Do not let pot holder touch hot
heating elements. Do not use a
towel or bulky cloth for a pot
holder. It could catch on fire.
•Keep range vents unobstructed.
