Do not install the range over carpeting unless you place an insulating pad or sheet of 1/4" (6.4 mm) thick plywood between the range and carpeting. • Do not obstruct the flow of combustion air at the oven vent nor around the base or beneath the lower front panel of the range. Avoid touching the vent openings or nearby surfaces as they may become hot while the oven is in operation. This range requires fresh air for proper burner combustion. Never leave children alone or unattended in the area where an appliance is in use. As children grow, teach them the proper, safe use of all appliances. Never leave the oven door open when the range is unattended. Stepping, leaning or sitting on the door(s) or drawer of this range can result in serious injuries and can also cause damage to the range. • Do not store items of interest to children in the cabinets above the range. Children could be seriously burned climbing on the range to reach items. • To eliminate the need to reach over the surface units, cabinet storage space above the units should be avoided. • Adjust surface burner flame size so it does not extend beyond the edge of the cooking utensil. Excessive flame is hazardous. • Do not use the oven as a storage space. This creates a potentially hazardous situation. • Never use your range for warming or heating the room. Prolonged use of the range without adequate ventilation can be dangerous. • Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids near this or any other appliance. Explosions or fires could result. • In the event of an electrical power outage, the surface burners can be lit manually. To light a surface burner, hold a lit match to the burner head and slowly turn the Surface Control knob to Lite. Use caution when lighting surface burners manually. • Reset all controls to the "off" position after using a programmable timing operation. 2
