tant Safety Instructions
When using electrical appliances, basic safety
precautions should be followed, including the following:
• Use this appliance only for its intended use as
described in this guide.
• Be sure your appliance is properly installed and
grounded by a qualified technician in accordance
with the provided installation instructions.
• Be sure the range is securely installed in a
counter that is firmly attached to the house
structure. Weight on the oven door could cause
the oven to tip and result in injury. Never allow
anyone to climb, sit, stand or hang on the oven door.
• Do not attempt to repair or replace any
part of your range unless it is specifically
recommended in this guide. All other servicing
should be referred to a qualified technician.
• Have the installer show you the location
of the circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for
easy reference.
• Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on
the door or cooktop. They could damage the
range or cause severe personal injury.
• Before performing any service, DISCONNECT
THE RANGE POWER SUPPLY AT THE
HOUSEHOLD DISTRIBUTION PANEL BY
REMOVING THE FUSE OR SWITCHING OFF
THE CIRCUIT BREAKER.
• Do not leave children alone—children should
not be left alone or unattended in an area where an
appliance is in use. They should never be allowed
to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.
• CAUTION: ITEMS OF INTEREST TO
CHILDREN SHOULD NOT BE STORED IN
CABINETS ABOVE A RANGE OR ON THE
BACKSPLASH OF A RANGE—CHILDREN
CLIMBING ON THE RANGE TO REACH
ITEMS COULD BE SERIOUSLY INJURED.
• Teach children not to play with the controls or
any other part of the range.
• Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments
while using the appliance. Be careful when
reaching for items stored in cabinets over the
range. Flammable material could be ignited if
brought in contact with hot surface units or
heating elements and may cause severe burns.
• Use only dry pot holders—moist
or damp pot holders on hot surfaces
may result in burns from steam.
Do not let pot holders touch hot surface units or
heating elements. Do not use a towel or other
bulky cloth. Such cloths can catch fire on a hot
surface unit or heating element.
• Do not use water on grease fires.
Never pick up a flaming pan.
Turn the controls off. Smother a
flaming pan on a surface unit by covering it
with a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray.
Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type
fire extinguisher.
Flaming grease outside a pan can be put out
by covering with baking soda or, if available,
use a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type
fire extinguisher.
Flame in the oven can be smothered completely by
closing the oven door and turning the oven off or by
using a dry chemical or foam type fire extinguisher.
• Do not touch the surface units, heating
elements or the interior surface of the oven.
These surfaces may be hot enough to burn even
though they are dark in color. During and after
use, do not touch, or let clothing or other
flammable materials contact surface units, areas
nearby surface units or any interior area of the
oven; allow sufficient time for cooling first.
Potentially hot surfaces include the cooktop, areas
facing the cooktop, oven vent opening, surfaces
near the opening, crevices around the oven door
and metal trim parts above the door.
Remember: The inside surface of the oven may
be hot when the door is opened.
