SAFETY INFORMATION IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING WARNING GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (CONT.) Ŷ Never block the vents (air openings) of the range. They provide the air inlets and outlets that are necessary for the range to operate properly with correct combustion. Air openings are located at the rear of the cooktop, at the top and bottom of the oven door, and at the bottom of the range under the warming drawer, lower oven drawer or kick panel. Ŷ Use only dry pot holders-moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let pot holders touch surface burners, burner grate, or oven heating element. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of pot holders. Ŷ Do not touch the heating elements or the interior surface of the oven. These surfaces may be hot enough to burn even though they are dark in color. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact any interior area of the oven; allow sufficient time for cooling first. Other surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to cause burns. Potentially hot surfaces include the burners, grates, oven vent opening, surfaces near the opening, and crevices around the oven door. Ŷ Do not heat unopened food containers. Pressure could build up and the container could burst, causing an injury. Ŷ Cook food thoroughly to help protect against foodborne illness. Minimum safe food temperature recommendations can be found at www.IsItDoneYet.gov and www.fsis.usda. gov. Use a food thermometer to take food temperatures and check several locations. Ŷ Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on the oven door, drawer or cooktop. They could damage the range or tip it over causing severe injury or death. WARNING KEEP FLAMMABLE MATERIALS AWAY FROM THE OVEN Failure to do so may result in fire or personal injury. Ŷ Do not store or use flammable materials in an oven or near the cooktop, including paper, plastic, pot holders, linens, wall coverings, curtains, drapes and gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids. Ŷ Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while using the appliance. These garments may ignite if they contact hot surfaces causing severe burns.
