causing a fire hazard. Stepping, leaning or sitting on the door or

drawers of a range can result in serious injuries and also cause damage to the appliance. DO NOT

allow children to climb or play around the range. The weight of a child on an open oven door may cause the

• Know which knob controls each surface burner. Place a pan of food on the burner before turning it on,

and turn the burner off before removing the pan.

• Always turn knob to the full LITE position when igniting top burners, Visually check that burner has lit. Then adjust the flame so it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil.

• Utensil handles should be turned inward and not

extend over adjacent surface burners--To reduce theriskof burns,ignitionofflammablematerials,and spillageduetounintentionalcontactwiththeutensil,the handleoftheutensilshouldbe positionedsothatitis

turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface burners.

• Never leave surface burners unattended at high heat settings--Boiloverscausesmokingand greasy

spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.

• Glazed cooking utensils--Only certain types of glass,

glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed

utensils are suitable for cook top service without breaking

drawer or lower oven door--Stand to the side of the range when opening the door of a hot oven. Let hot air or

steam escape before you remove or replace food in the

oven.

Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed. The oven vent

is located below the backguard. Touching the surfaces in

this area when the oven is operating may cause severe

burns. Also, do not place plastic or heat-sensitive items on or near the oven vent. These items could melt or

ignite.

Placement ofOven Racks, Always place oven racks in

desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved while oven is hot use extreme caution. Use

potholders and grasp the rack with both hands to reposition. Do not let potholders contact the hot heating

elements in the oven. Remove all utensils from the rack before moving.

• Do not use the broiler pan without its insert. The broiler pan and its insert allow dripping fat to drain and be kept away from the high heat of the broiler.

• Do not cover the broiler insert with aluminum foil.

oven bottom. Only use aluminum foil as recommended in

this manual. Improper installation of these liners may

result in risk of electric shock, or fire.
