2. DO NOT store things children
might want above the range.
Children could be burned or

3. DO NOT allow anyone to touch
hot surface units or heating ele­ments. Dark colored units and ele­ments can still be hot enough to
burn severely.

burns.

5. DO NOT use the range to heat a

6. KEEP pan handles turned in, but not
over another surface unit to avoid
burns, injury and to help prevent the
utensil from being pushed off the sur­face units.

7. DO NOT use water on grease fires.
The fire will spread. Cover fire with
large lid or smother with baking
soda or salt.

8. DO NOT wear loose or hanging gar-

ments when using the range. They
could ignite if they touch a hot sur­face unit or heating element and
you could be burned.
