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.
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.
Keep the ventilator hood and grease filter clean to maintain good venting and to avoid grease fires. Turn the ventilator OFF
in case of a fire or when intentionally "flaming" liquor or other spirits on the cooktop. The blower if in operation, could
spread the flames.
WARNING
KEEP FLAMMABLE MATERIAL AWAY FROM THE RANGE
Failure to do so may result in fire or personal injury.
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.
Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while using the appliance. These garments may ignite if they contact hot
surfaces causing severe burns.
Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate in or near the range.
Grease in the oven or on the cooktop may ignite.
WARNING
IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE, TAKE THE FOLLOWING STEP TO
PREVENT INJURY AND FIRE SPREADING.
Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off. Smother a flaming pan on a surface unit
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.
If there is a fire in the oven during baking, smother the fire by closing the oven door and turning the oven off or by using a
multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
If there is a fire in the oven during self-clean, turn the oven off and wait for the fire to go out.
Failure to follow this instruction may result in severe burns.
WARNING
COOKTOP SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Never leave the surface burners unattended at medium or high heat settings. Foods, especially oily foods, may ignite
resulting in fire that could spread to surrounding cabinets.
Never leave oil unattended while frying. If allowed to heat beyond its smoking point, oil may ignite resulting in fire that may
spread to surrounding cabinets. Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible to monitor oil temperature.
To avoid oil spillover and fire, use the minimum amount of oil when frying in a shallow pan and avoid cooking frozen foods
with excessive amounts of ice.
Use proper pan size and avoid pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware that matches the size of the burner.
Burner flames should be adjusted so that they do not extend beyond the bottom of the pan. Excessive flames may be
hazardous.
When using glass/ceramic cookware, make sure it is suitable for cooktop use; others may break because of a sudden change
in temperature.
To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of flammable materials and spillage, cookware handles should be turned
toward the center of the range without extending over nearby burners.
