Whirlpool SF365BEY Range User Manual


 
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 sur-
faces 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, and the oven door, could also
become hot enough to cause burns.

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 pot holders. Moist or damp
pot holders on hot surfaces could result
in burns from steam. Do not let pot
holder touch an open flame. Do not use
a towel or bulky cloth for a pot holder. It
could catch on fire.
l Keep range vents unobstructed.
l Do not heat unopened containers. They
could explode. The hot contents could
cause burns and container particles
could cause injury.
. Use only utensils approved for oven use.
Follow utensil manufacturer’s instruc-
tions, especially when using glass or
plastic utensils.
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
boilovers and spillovers. Heavy splatter-
ing or spillovers left on a range could
ignite and burn you. Pan size is espe-
cially 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.
