• For your safety, do not use the oven to cook without the
convection filter installed. When the filter is not installed, the
spinning fan blades at the back of the oven are exposed.
• Do not allow food to sit in the oven for more than one hour
before or after cooking. Eating spoiled food can result in
food poisoning.
• When deep fat frying:
◊
Be certain that the pan is large enough to contain the
desired volume of food without overflow caused by
the bubbling of the fat. Never leave a deep fat fryer
unattended.
◊
Avoid frying moist or frost-covered foods. Foods with
high water content may cause spattering or spilling of the
hot fat.
◊
Heat fat slowly, and stir together any combination of oils
and fats prior to applying heat. Utilize a deep fat frying
thermometer to avoid heating the fat to temperatures
above the flash point.
Tip-over hazard:
• A child or adult can tip the range and be killed.
• Verify that the anti-tip bracket has been properly
attached to the floor or wall as directed in the
installation instructions. Using a flashlight, verify that
the range’s anti-tip foot is engaged with the anti-tip
bracket as shown below.
• After moving the range, be sure to re-engage the rear
leg with the floor or wall mounted anti-tip bracket as
shown below.
• Do not operate the range without the anti-tip foot
engaged with the anti-tip bracket.
Important Safety Instructions
• Do not allow acids (citrus juices, tomato sauces, etc.) to
remain on the range’s surfaces. The porcelain finish may
stain.
• Never use the cooktop surface as a cutting board.
• Do not try to remove heavy spills with a sharp object such
as a knife or metal spatula. Sharp objects may scratch the
range’s surfaces.
• Do not line the oven with aluminum foil or other materials.
These items can melt or burn up during self cleaning and
cause permanent damage to the oven.
• Do not expose the knobs or trim rings to direct flame, hot
utensils or other sources of heat.
• Always ensure that the light fixture lens cover is in place
when using the oven. The lens cover protects the light
bulb from breakage caused by high oven temperatures or
mechanical shock.
• Non-stick coatings, when heated, can be harmful to birds.
Remove birds to a separate, well-ventilated room during
cooking.
• This appliance is equipped with a three-prong grounding
plug for your protection against possible electric shock
hazards. If only a two-prong outlet is available, it is
the customer’s responsibility to have it replaced with a
dedicated, grounded three-prong electrical outlet by a
licensed electrician.
Do not under any circumstances:
◊
Cut or remove the third
(ground) prong from the
power cord.
◊
Use an adapter plug.
◊
Use an extension cord.
◊
Use a power cord that is
frayed or damaged.
◊
Plug the cooktop into an
electrical outlet with a
ground fault interrupter (GFI).
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE
EVENT OF A RANGE TOP GREASE FIRE:
a. SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid, cookie sheet
or metal tray, then turn off the burner. BE CAREFUL TO
PREVENT BURNS. If the flames do not go out immediately,
EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.
b. NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN - you may be burned.
c. DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dish cloths or towels -
a violent steam explosion may result.
d. Use a fire extinguisher ONLY if:
◊
You have a Class ABC extinguisher, and you already
know how to operate it.
◊
The fire is small and contained in the area where it
started.
◊
The fire department is being called.
◊
You can fight the fire with your back to an exit
.
