Important Safety Information
DANGER
• Use the proper pot/pan sizes. This appliance is equipped
with surface units of different sizes. Select pots/pans
having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface
unit. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion
of the surface heating unit to direct contact and may
result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil
to the surface unit will also improve efficiency.
• Always use proper flame size. Adjust flame size so it
does not extend beyond the edge of the pot/pan. The
use of undersized pots/pans will expose a portion of the
burner flame to direct contact and may result in ignition
of clothing. Proper relationship of pot/pan to flame will
also improve efficiency.
• Top burner flame size should be adjusted so it does not
extend beyond the edge of the cooking utensil.
• Do not use stove top grills on your gas appliance. If
you use a stove top grill on a sealed gas burner, it will
cause incomplete combustion and can result in exposure
to carbon monoxide levels above allowable current
standards. This can be hazardous to your health.
• Remove all packaging materials from the appliance
before operating it. These materials can ignite, causing
smoke and/or fire damage.
•
Do not use abrasive or caustic cleaners or detergents on
this appliance. They may cause permanent damage to
the surface.
•
Clean appliance with caution.
•
Remove pot holder away from hot surface areas.
TIPPING DANGER
• TIPPING RANGES CAN CAUSE SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
• TO REDUCE THE RISK OF TIPPING OF THE RANGE, THE RANGE MUST BE
SECURED WITH A PROPERLY INSTALLED ANTI-TIP DEVICE.
• FAILURE TO PROPERLY INSTALL THE ANTI-TIP BRACKET COULD RESULT IN
THE DEATH OF A CHILD OR ADULT.
• To check if the device has been properly installed, slide range forward, look for anti-tip bracket securely attached to wall
then slide range back so rear range foot is under anti-tip bracket.
• Carefully pull on the range from the rear. If the bracket is installed correctly, the range will not tip more than 4 inches from
the wall. If it tips forward more than 4 inches, the anti-tip device has not been has not been installed correctly.
• CAUTION: DO NOT TIP THE RANGE MORE THAN 4 INCHES FROM THE WALL AS IT COULD TIP OVER AND CAUSE
INJURY.
• If the range is pulled from the wall for any reason, always repeat this procedure to verify the range is properly secured
by the anti-tip bracket.
• Never completely remove the leveling legs or the range will not be secured to the anti-tip device properly.
• NEVER step or sit on the door.
• The range will not tip during normal use. However, without a properly fastened anti-tip bracket, the range can tip if too
much force or weight is applied to the open door.
•
Do not operate the range without the anti-tip bracket in place.
•
Before removing label, ensure anti-tip bracket is properly installed.
