IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WARNING: NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating of the oven. • Never wear loose fitting or hanging garments while using the appliance. Be careful when reaching for items stored in cabinets over the range. Flammable material could be ignited if brought in contact with flame or hot oven surfaces and may cause severe burns. • Do not store flammable materials in an oven, a warming drawer, or near a cooktop. • Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. • Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate in or near the range. • Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off. Smother a flaming pan on a surface burner by covering the pan completely with a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher. Flaming grease outside a pan can be put out by covering it with baking soda or, if available, by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher. Flame in the upper oven or lower oven drawer can be smothered completely by closing the oven door or drawer and turning the control to off or by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher. • Let the burner grates and other surfaces cool before touching them or leaving them where children can reach them. • Never block the vents (air openings) of the range. They provide the air inlet and outlet 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, or kick panel. • Large scratches or impacts to glass doors can lead to broken or shattered glass. SURFACE BURNERS Use proper pan size-avoid pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover burner grates. To avoid spillovers, make sure cookware is large enough to contain the food properly. This will both save cleaning time and prevent hazardous accumulations of food, since heavy spattering or spillovers left on range can ignite. Use pans with handles that can be easily grasped and remain cool. • Always use the LITE position when igniting the top burners and make sure the burners have ignited. • Never leave the surface burners unattended at high flame settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire. • Adjust the top burner flame size so it does not extend beyond the edge of the cookware. Excessive flame is hazardous. 5
