IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the appliance, follow basic precautions,
including the following:
� WARNING:
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF TIPPING OF
THE RANGE, THE RANGE MUST BE SECURED BY
PROPERLY INSTALLED ANTI-TIP DEVICES. TO CHECK
IF THE DEVICES ARE INSTALLED PROPERLY, SLIDE
RANGE FORWARD, LOOK FOR ANTI-TIP BRACKET
SECURELY ATTACHED TO FLOOR OR WALL, AND
SLIDE RANGE BACK SO REAR RANGE FOOT IS
UNDER ANTI-TIP BRACKET.
WARNING
NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to heat or warm
the room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning
and overheating of the oven.
WARNING
NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven
bottom or cover an entire rack with materials such as
aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the oven and
may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings
may also trap heat, causing a fire hazard.
� CAUTION:
Do not store items of interest to children in
cabinets above an appliance or on the backguard of an
appliance - children climbing on the appliance to reach
items could be seriously injured.
�
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.
�
Use Only Dry Potholders – Moist or damp potholders on hot
surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let
potholder touch hot surface units. Do not use a towel or
other bulky cloth.
�
Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High Heat
Settings – Boilover causes smoking and greasy spillovers
that may ignite.
� 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.
�
Disconnect power before servicing.
� This appliance is equipped with a four-prong grounding
plug for your protection against shock hazard and should
be plugged directly into a properly grounded receptacle. Do
not cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug.
�
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.
�
Injuries may result from the misuse of appliance doors or
drawers such as stepping, leaning, or sitting on the doors or
drawers.
� Maintenance – Keep range area clear and free from
combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable
vapors and liquids.
�
Top burner flame size should be adjusted so it does not
extend beyond the edge of the cooking utensil. This
instruction is based on safety considerations.
�
Do not use replacement parts that have not been
recommended by the manufacturer (e.g. parts made at
home using a 3D printer).
� 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.
� 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.
