SAFETY INS [ RUC [IONS
GLAZED COOKING UTENSILS - Only certain types
of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or
other glazed utensils are suitable for range-top serv-
ice without breaking due to the sudden change in tem-
perature.
UTENSIL HANDLES
SHOULD BE
TURNED INWARD
AND NOT EXTEND
OVER ADJACENT
SURFACE UNITS-
To reduce the risk of
burns, ignition of flam-
mable materials, and
spillage due to unin-
tentional contact with the utensil, the handle of a uten-
sil should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and
does not extend over adjacent surface elements.
DO NOT SOAK REMOVABLE HEATING ELE-
MENTS - Heating elements should never be im-
mersed in water. Immersing element in water would
damage insulating material inside element.
OVENS:
USE CARE WHEN OPENING DOOR - Let hot air or
steam escape before removing or replacing food.
DO NOT HEAT UNOPENED FOOD CONTAINERS -
Build-up of pressure may cause container to burst and
result in injury.
KEEP OVEN VENT DUCTS (located under rear ele-
ment; rear corner of cooktop; between oven door and
control panel of wall oven or on backguard) UNOB-
STRUCTED. Blockage of vent prevents proper oven
aLrcirculation and will affect oven performance. Avoid
touching oven vent area while oven is on and for sev-
eral minutes after oven is turned off. Some parts of the
vent and surrounding area become hot enough to
cause burns.
PLACEMENT OF OVEN RACKS- Always place oven
racks in desired location while oven is cool. If rack
must be moved white hot, use care to avoid contact of
potholder with oven element.

VENTILATING HOODS:
CLEAN VENTILATING HOODS FREQUENTLY -
Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on hood
or filter. When flaming foods under the hood, turn the
fan off. The fan, if operating, may spread the flame.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE AND WARNING
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforce-
ment Act of 1986 (Proposition 65) requires the Gover-
nor of California to publish a list of substances known
to the State of California to cause cancer or reproduc-
tive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers
of potential exposures to such substances.
Users of this appliance are hereby warned that when
the appliance is engaged in the self-clean cycle there
may be some low-level exposure to some of the listed
substances, including carbon monoxide. Exposure to
these substances can be minimized by properly vent-
ing the appliance to the outdoors during the self-clean
cycle.
DEEP FAT FRYERS:
Use extreme caution when moving the grease kettle or
dLsposing of hot grease.
DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE ELEMENTS OR OVEN
ELEMENTS, AREAS NEAR ELEMENTS OR INTE-
RIOR SURFACES OF OVEN - Elements may be hot
even though they are dark in color. Areas near surface
elements and interior surfaces of oven may become
hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do
not touch or let clothing or other flammable materials
contact heating elements, areas near elements or in-
terior surfaces of oven until they have had sufficient
time to cool. Among these areas are the cooktop, sur-
faces facing the cooktop, oven vent opening and sur-
faces near this opening, oven door, and oven window.
Also, do not allow aluminum foil, meat probes or any
other metal object, other than a utensil on a surface
element, to contact heating elements.
ANTI-TIP BRACKET:
WARNING: To reduce the risk of tipping of the appli-
ance from unusual usage or by excessive loading of
the oven door, the appliance must be secured by a
properly installed anti-tip device. To check if device is
installed properly: Use a flashlight and look under-
neath range to see that one of the rear leveling legs is
engaged in the bracket slot. When removing appliance
for cleaning, be sure anti-tip device is engaged when
range is replaced. The anti-tip device secures the rear
leveling leg to the floor, when properly engaged.
