Oven and Stove

Elements/burners on the stove work.

Stove/oven controls clearly marked, easy and safe to reach, easy to grasp and turn.

Oven door opens safely and easily.

Flammable and combustible items are stored away from range and oven.

Remove any towels hanging on oven handles. If towels hang close to a burner, change the location of the towel rack.

If necessary, shorten or remove curtains that could brush against heat sources.

Roll back long, loose sleeves or fasten them with pins or elastic bands while you are cooking.

Make sure there's adequate ventilation.
