IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
�
Proper Installation - The appliance, when installed, must be
electrically grounded in accordance with local codes, or in
the absence of local codes, with the
National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA 70
or the
Canadian Electrical Code,
CSA C22.1-02.
In Canada, the appliance must be
electrically grounded in accordance with Canadian
Electrical Code. Be sure your appliance is properly installed
and grounded by a qualified technician.
�
Never Use Your Appliance for Warming or Heating the
Room.
�
Do Not Leave Children Alone - Children should not be left
alone or unattended in area where appliance is in use.
They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of
the appliance.
�
Wear Proper Apparel – Loose-fitting or hanging garments
should never be worn while using the appliance.
�
User Servicing – Do not repair or replace any part of the
appliance unless specifically recommended in the manual.
All other servicing should be referred to a qualified
technician.
�
Storage in or on Appliance – Flammable materials should
not be stored in an oven or near surface units.
�
This appliance is not intended for storage.
�
Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires – Smother fire or flame
or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
�
Do not use replacement parts that have not been
recommended by the manufacturer (e.g. parts made at
home using a 3D printer).
�
Use Only Dry Potholders – Moist or damp potholders on hot
surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let
potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or
other bulky cloth.
�
DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR
UNITS – Surface units may be hot even though they are
dark in color. Areas near surface units may become hot
enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch,
or let clothing or other flammable materials contact surface
units or areas near units until they have had sufficient time
to cool. Among these areas are the coil elements, the
cooktop, and surfaces facing the cooktop.
�
Use Proper Pan Size – This appliance is equipped with one
or more surface units of different size. Select utensils
having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit
heating element. The use of undersized utensils will expose
a portion of the heating element to direct contact and may
result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to
burner will also improve efficiency.
�
Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High Heat
Settings – Boilover causes smoking and greasy spillovers
that may ignite.
�
Make Sure Reflector Pans or Drip Bowls Are in Place –
Absence of these pans or bowls during cooking may
subject wiring or components underneath to damage.
�
Protective Liners – Do not use aluminum foil to line surface
unit drip bowls or oven bottoms, except as suggested in the
manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in a
risk of electric shock, or fire.
�
Glazed Cooking Utensils – Only certain types of glass,
glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed
utensils are suitable for range-top service without breaking
due to the sudden change in temperature.
�
Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extend
Over Adjacent Surface Units – To reduce the risk of burns,
ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to
unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of a utensil
should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and does
not extend over adjacent surface units.
�
Do Not Soak Removable Heating Elements – Heating
elements should never be immersed in water.
�
Do Not Cook on Broken Cook-Top – If cook-top should
break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the
broken cook-top and create a risk of electric shock. Contact
a qualified technician immediately.
�
Clean Cooktop With Caution – If a wet sponge or cloth is
used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to
avoid steam burn. Some cleaners can produce noxious
fumes if applied to a hot surface.
�
Use Care When Opening Door – Let hot air or steam
escape before removing or replacing food.
�
Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers – Build-up of
pressure may cause container to burst and result in injury.
�
Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed.
�
Placement of Oven Racks – Always place oven racks in
desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved
while oven is hot, do not let potholder contact hot heating
element in oven.
�
DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR
SURFACES OF OVEN – Heating elements may be hot
even though they are dark in color. Interior surfaces of an
oven become hot enough to cause burns. During and after
use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable
materials contact heating elements or interior surfaces of
oven until they have had sufficient time to cool. Other
surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to cause
burns – among these surfaces are oven vent openings and
surfaces near these openings, oven doors, and windows of
oven doors.
�
Care must be taken to prevent aluminum foil and meat
probes from contacting heating elements.
For self-cleaning ranges –
�
CAUTION:
DO NOT LEAVE FOOD OR COOKING
UTENSILS, ETC., IN OVEN DURING THE PYROLYTIC
SELF-CLEANING MODE OF OPERATION.
�
Do Not Clean Door Gasket – The door gasket is essential
for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage,
or move the gasket.
�
Do Not Use Oven Cleaners – No commercial oven cleaner
or oven liner protective coating of any kind should be used
in or around any part of the oven.
�
Clean Only Parts Listed in Manual.
�
Before Self-Cleaning the Oven – Remove broiler pan and
other utensils.
For units with ventilating hood –
�
Clean Ventilating Hoods Frequently – Grease should not be
allowed to accumulate on hood or filter.
�
When flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan on.
For smart enabled ranges and ovens
�
Remote operation – This appliance is configurable to allow
remote operation at any time. Do not store any flammable
materials or temperature sensitive items inside, on top or
near surface units of the appliance.
