GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (CONT.)
WARNING
Never block the vents (air openings) of the
range. They provide the air inlets and outlets that
are necessary for the range to operate properly
with correct combustion. Air openings are located
at the rear of the cooktop, at the top and bottom
of the oven door, and at the bottom of the range
under the broil drawer, lower oven drawer or kick
panel.
Use only dry pot holders—moist or damp pot
holders on hot surfaces may result in burns
from steam. Do not let pot holders touch surface
burners, burner grate, or oven heating element.
Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place
of pot holders.
Do not touch the heating elements or the interior
surface of the oven. These surfaces may be hot
enough to burn even though they are dark in
color. During and after use, do not touch, or let
clothing or other flammable materials contact any
interior area of the oven; allow sufficient time for
KEEP FLAMMABLE MATERIALS AWAY FROM THE OVEN
WARNING
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. Avoid storing
commonly used items in cabinets above the
range and be careful when reaching over the
range. Clothing in close proximity to burners or
hot surfaces may ignite causing severe burns.

cooling first. Other surfaces of the appliance may
become hot enough to cause burns. Potentially
hot surfaces include the burners, grates, oven
vent opening, surfaces near the opening and
crevices around the oven door.
Do not heat unopened food containers. Pressure
could build up and the container could burst,
causing an injury.
Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to
at least an internal temperature of 160°F and
poultry to at least an internal temperature of
180°F. Cooking to these temperatures usually
protects against foodborne illness.
Do not use any type of foil or liner to cover the
oven bottom, drip pans or anywhere in the oven,
except as described in this manual. Oven liners
can trap heat or melt, resulting in damage to the
product and risk of shock, smoke or fire.
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.
Clean ventilating hoods frequently. Grease
should not be allowed to accumulate on the hood
or filter.
