elements, or in the storage or warmer
drawer (if equipped). This includes paper,
plastic, and cloth items, such as cook-
books, plastic ware, and towels, as well
as fl ammable liquids. Do not store explo-
sives, such as aerosol cans, on or near
the appliance.
Do not leave children alone - Children
should not be left alone or unattended in
the area where appliance is in use. They
should never be allowed to sit or stand
on any part of the appliance, including
the storage drawer, lower broiler drawer,
warmer drawer, or lower double oven.
Do not store items of interest to children
in the cabinets above the appliance or on
the backguards of ranges. Children climb-
ing on or near the appliance to reach
items could be seriously injured.
Do not allow children to climb or play
around the appliance. The weight of a
child on an open oven door may cause
the appliance to tip, resulting in serious
burns or other injury. An open drawer
when hot may cause burns.
Stepping, leaning, or sitting on the door
or drawers of this appliance can result in
serious injuries and also cause damage to
the appliance.
Never cover any slots, holes or passages
in the oven bottom or cover and entire
rack with materials such as aluminum foil.
Doing so blocks air fl ow through the oven
and may cause carbon monoxide poison-
ing. Aluminum foil linings may also trap
heat, causing a fi re hazard.
