■
Use this appliance for its intended purpose as described in this
Owner’s Manual.
■
Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded
by a qualified installer in accordance with the provided
installation instructions.
■
Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your range
unless it is specifically recommended in this manual. All
other servicing should be transferred to a qualified
technician.
■
Before performing any service, unplug the range or
disconnect the 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 climb, sit or stand on any
part of the appliance.
■
CAUTION:
Do not store items of interest to children
above a range or on the backguard of a range—children
climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously
injured.
■
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 in place of pot holders.
■
Never use your appliance for warming or heating the room.
■
Do not touch the surface units, the 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 the surface units, areas nearby
the surface units or any interior area of the oven; allow
sufficient time for cooling first. Other surfaces of the
appliance may become hot enough to cause burns.
Potentially hot surfaces include the cooktop, areas facing
the cooktop, oven vent opening, surfaces near the opening
and crevices around the oven door.
■
Do not heat unopened food containers. Pressure could build
up and the container could burst, causing an injury.
■
Do not use aluminum foil to line the drip pans or anywhere
in the oven, except as described in this manual. Misuse could
result in damage to the range and shock or fire hazard.
■
Avoid scratching or impacting glass doors, cooktops or
control panels. Doing so may lead to glass breakage. Do not
cook on a product with broken glass. Shock, fire or cuts may
occur.
■
Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at least an
internal temperature of 160°F and poultry to at least an
internal temperature of 180°F. Cooking to these
temperatures usually protects against foodborne illness.
■
Do not store or use flammable materials in an oven or near
the cooktop, including paper, plastic, pot holders, linens, wall
coverings, curtains, drapes and gasoline or other flammable
vapors and liquids.
■
Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while using
the appliance. These garments may ignite if they contact hot
surfaces, causing severe burns.
■
Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials
accumulate in or near the range. Grease in the oven or on
the cooktop may ignite.
■
Clean ventilating hoods frequently. Grease should not be
allowed to accumulate on the hood or filter.

■
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 the pan completely with a
well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Use a multi-purpose
dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
■
If there is a fire in the oven during baking, smother the fire by
closing the oven door and turning the oven off or by using a
multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
■
If there is a fire in the oven during self-clean, turn the oven
off and wait for the fire to go out. Do not force the door
open. Introduction of fresh air at self-clean temperatures
may lead to a burst of flame from the oven. Failure to follow
this instruction may result in severe burns.
