Have your appliance installed and properly grounded by a qualified installer according to the installation instructions. Have the installer show you the location of the gas shut off valve and how to shut it off in an emergency. Always disconnect power to appliance before servicing. To ensure proper operation and avoid possible injury or damage to unit do not attempt to adjust, repair, service or replace any part of your appliance unless it is specifically recommended in this book. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified installer or servicer. TO PREVENT FIRE OR SMOKE DAMAGE Be sure all packing materials are removed from the appliance before operating it. Keep area around appliance clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and materials. Many plastics are vulnerable to heat. Keep plastics away from parts of the appliance that may become warm or hot. Many aerosol-type spray cans are EXPLOSIVE when exposed to heat and may be highly flammable. Avoid their use or storage near an appliance. IN CASE OF FIRE 1. Turn off appliance. 2. Use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher or baking soda to smother fire or flame. Never use water on a grease fire. 3. If fire is in the oven or broiler pan, smother by closing oven door. CHILD SAFETY NEVER leave children alone or unsupervised near the appliance when it is in use or is still hot. NEVER allow children to sit or stand on any part of the appliance. Children must be taught that the appliance and utensils in it can be hot. Let hot utensils cool in a safe place, out of reach of small children. Children should be taught that an appliance is not a toy. Children should not be allowed to play with controls or other parts of the unit. CAUTION: NEVER store items of interest to children in cabinets above an appliance. Children climbing on the appliance to reach items could be seriously injured. ABOUT YOUR APPLIANCE WARNING NEVER use appliance door as a step stool or seat as this may result in possible tipping of the appliance and serious injuries. NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to heat or warm a room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating of the oven. NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven bottom or cover the entire rack with materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil may also trap heat causing a fire hazard. NEVER obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air by blocking the oven vent or air intakes. Doing so restricts air to the burners and may result in carbon monoxide poisoning. Do not use the oven as a storage area for food or cooking utensils. Avoid touching oven vent area while oven is on and for several minutes after oven is turned off. Some parts of the vent and surrounding area become hot enough to cause burns. After oven is turned off, do not touch the oven vent or surrounding areas until they have had sufficient time to cool. Do not touch a hot oven light bulb with a damp cloth as the bulb could break. Should the bulb break, disconnect power to the appliance before removing bulb to avoid electrical shock.
