IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

WARNING!

For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or
explosion, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:

Use this appliance only for its intended
purpose as described in this Owner’s
Manual.

Be sure your appliance is properly installed
and grounded by a qualified technician 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 referred to a qualified
technician.

■ 

Do not store flammable materials in an
oven or near the cooktop.

■ 

Have the installer show you the location of
the circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy
reference.

■ 

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.

■ 

Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or
hang on the door or cooktop. They could
damage the range and cause severe
personal injury.

■ 

Teach children not to play with the
controls or any other part of the range.

■ 

CAUTION:

Items of interest to

children should not be stored in cabinets
above a range—children climbing on the
range to reach items could be seriously
injured.
