IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING THE APPLIANCE WARNING Storage In or On Appliance-Flammable materials should not be stored in an oven, near surface burners, or in the warmer drawer (if equipped). This includes paper, plastic, and cloth items, such as cookbooks, plastic ware, and towels, as well as flammable liquids. Do not store explosives, such as aerosol cans, on or near the range. Do not leave children alone - Children should not be left alone or unattended in the area where the appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance, including the storage drawer, lower broiler drawer, or lower double oven. Do not store items of interest to children in the cabinets above the range. Children climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously injured. Do not allow children to climb or play around the appliance. The weight of a child on an open oven door may cause the appliance to tip, resulting in serious burns or other injury. An open drawer when hot may cause burns. Stepping, leaning, or sitting on the door or drawers of this appliance can result in serious injuries and also cause damage to the appliance. Never cover any slots, holes, or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire oven rack with materials such as aluminum foil or aftermarket oven liners. Doing so blocks air flow through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may trap heat, causing a fire hazard. Do not use oven or warmer drawer (if equipped) for storage. WARNING Never use your appliance as a space heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating of the appliance. CAUTION When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Grease may catch fire if it becomes too hot. Do not use water or flour on grease fires. Smother fire or flame or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher. Cover the fire with a pan lid or use baking soda. Use dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholders touch hot cooking areas. Do not use towels or other bulky cloths. Do not heat unopened food containers - Buildup of pressure may cause container to burst and result in injury. Wear proper apparel - Loose-fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while using the appliance. Do not let clothing or other flammable materials contact hot surfaces. Do not touch surface burners or elements, areas near these burners or elements, interior surfaces of the oven, or the warmer drawer (if equipped). Surface burners and elements may be hot even though they appear cool. Areas near surface burners and elements may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials touch these areas until they are cool. These areas may include the cooktop, surfaces facing the cooktop, oven vent areas, oven door, and oven window. Do not attempt to operate the appliance during a power failure. If the power fails, always turn off the appliance. If the appliance is not turned off and the power resumes, electric surface elements may resume operation when power is restored. Once the power resumes, reset the clock and the oven function. Save these instructions for future reference 5

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING THE

APPLIANCE

Storage In or On Appliance—Flammable

materials should not be stored in an oven, near

surface burners, or in the warmer drawer (if

equipped). This includes paper, plastic, and

cloth items, such as cookbooks, plastic ware,

and towels, as well as flammable liquids. Do not

store explosives, such as aerosol cans, on or

near the range.

Do not leave children alone

- Children should

not be left alone or unattended in the area

where the appliance is in use. They should

never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of

the appliance, including the storage drawer,

lower broiler drawer, or lower double oven.

Do not store items of interest to children in the

cabinets above the range. Children climbing on

the range to reach items could be seriously

injured.

Do not allow children to climb or play around the

appliance. The weight of a child on an open

oven door may cause the appliance to tip,

resulting in serious burns or other injury. An

open drawer when hot may cause burns.

Stepping, leaning, or sitting on the door or

drawers of this appliance can result in serious

injuries and also cause damage to the appli-

ance.

Never cover any slots, holes, or passages in the

oven bottom or cover an entire oven rack with

materials such as aluminum foil or aftermarket

oven liners. Doing so blocks air flow through the

oven and may cause carbon monoxide

poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may trap heat,

causing a fire hazard.

Do not use oven or warmer drawer (if equipped)

for storage.

WARNING

Never use your appliance as a space heater to

heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in

carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating of

the appliance.

When heating fat or grease, watch it closely.

Grease may catch fire if it becomes too hot.

Do not use water or flour on grease fires.

Smother fire or flame or use dry chemical or

foam-type extinguisher. Cover the fire with a

pan lid or use baking soda.

Use dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders

on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam.

Do not let potholders touch hot cooking areas.

Do not use towels or other bulky cloths.

Do not heat unopened food containers - Build-

up of pressure may cause container to burst

and result in injury.

Wear proper apparel - Loose-fitting or hanging

garments should never be worn while using the

appliance. Do not let clothing or other

flammable materials contact hot surfaces.

Do not touch surface burners or elements,

areas near these burners or elements, interior

surfaces of the oven, or the warmer drawer (if

equipped). Surface burners and elements may

be hot even though they appear cool. Areas

near surface burners and elements may

become hot enough to cause burns. During and

after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other

flammable materials touch these areas until

they are cool. These areas may include the

cooktop, surfaces facing the cooktop, oven vent

areas, oven door, and oven window.

Do not attempt to operate the appliance during

a power failure. If the power fails, always turn off

the appliance. If the appliance is not turned off

and the power resumes, electric surface

elements may resume operation when power is

restored. Once the power resumes, reset the

clock and the oven function.
