IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
■ Do not store things children might
want above the range. Children could be
burned or injured while climbing on it.
' Do not leave children alone or unat­
tended in area where the range is in use.
They should never be allowed to sit or
stand on any part of the range. They
could be burned or injured.
• Do not operate the range if it is damaged
or not working properly.
> Do not use the range for warming
or heating the room. Persons could be
burned or injured, or a fire could start.
> Do not attempt to light the oven burner on
electric ignition models during a power
failure. Personal injury could result. Reset
oven controls to the off position in the
event of a power failure.
• Use the range only for its intended use as
described in this manual.
• Do not touch surface burners, areas near
surface burners or interior surfaces of
oven. Areas near surface burners and
interior surfaces of an oven become hot
enough to cause bums. 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.
• 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.
• Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp
potholders on hot surfaces could result in
burns from steam. Do not let potholder
touch an open flame. Do not use a towel
or bulky cloth for a potholder. It could
catch on fire.
• Keep range vents unobstructed.
• Do not heat unopened containers. They
could explode. The hot contents could
cause burns and container particles could
cause injury.
• Do not store flammable materials on or
near the range. The fumes could create
an explosion and/or fire hazard.
• Do not use the oven for storage.
• Do not use aluminum foil to line area
around surface burners, oven bottom, or
any other part of the range. Use aluminum
foil only as recommended in this manual.
• Never use a match or other flame to look
for a gas leak. Explosion and injury could
result.
• Know where your main gas shutoff
valve is located.
When using the cooktop
'Make sure the utensils you use are large
enough to contain food and avoid
boilovers and spillovers. Heavy splattering
or spillovers left on a range could ignite
and burn you. Pan size is especially
important in deep fat frying.
