Important Safety Instructions
- Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of this appliance unless specifically recommended in this
manual. All other servicing should be done by a qualified technician.
- Never use any part of the range or oven for storage. Flammable materials can ignite and plastic
items may melt or burst into flame.
- Do not hang articles on any part of the appliance or place anything against the oven. Some fabrics
are extremely flammable and could ignite.
- DO NOT USE ALUMINUM FOIL TO LINE ANY PART OF THE OVEN OR RANGETOP. Use of a foil
liner can result in an electrical shock or fire hazard or obstruct the flow of heat and air. Foil is an
excellent heat insulator, allowing heat to be trapped under it. This can interfere with cooking and can
damage the enamel of the oven.
- Prevent aluminum foil from contacting the heating elements.
- Never leave the range unattended when using high heat settings. Boilover can cause smoke and
spattered grease can ignite.
IMPORTANT: After a spill or boilover, turn off the burner and clean around it. After cleaning, check
that the burner functions properly.
- Not all types of glass, thermally resistant glass-ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed
cookware are suitable for range use. This type of cookware can break with sudden temperature
changes. Use only on low or medium heat settings in accordance with the instructions supplied by
the manufacturer.
- DO NOT HEAT UNOPENED FOOD CONTAINERS: A buildup of pressure can cause the containers
to burst.
- DO NOT USE FLAMMABLE PRODUCTS TO CLEAN THE RANGE.
- Do not clean, rub, damage or remove the oven door gasket. It is essential for a good, tight seal
during baking and when the self-clean cycle is engaged. Replace the oven door gasket if it becomes
damaged or encrusted with food residue.
- Be sure all range surface burners controls are turned off and that the rangetop is cool before using
any type of cleaning product. The chemical elements in these products could, in the presence of
heat, ignite or cause metal parts to corrode.
- ONLY QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL SHOULD PERFORM REPAIRS. Service personnel must
disconnect the power supply before servicing this unit.
