WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock,
injury to persons, or damage when using
the range, follow these basic precautions:
1.
Read all instructions before using the
range.
2.
Install or locate the range only in accor-
dance with the provided installation in-
structions. It is recommended that the
range be installed by a qualified installer.
The range must also be properly con-
nected to a grounded electrical supply.
3.
Do not use the range for heating the room.
Persons could be burned or injured, or a
fire could start.
4.
Do not leave children alone or unattended
in area where the range is in use. They
should never be allowed to sit or stand on
any part of the range. They could be
burned or injured.
5.
Do not wear loose or hanging garments
when using the range. Clothing could ig-
nite if it touches a surface element and
you could be burned.
6.
Do not repair or replace any part of the
range unless specifically recommended
in this manual. All other servicing should
be referred to a qualified technician.
7.
Do not operate the range if it is not work-
ing properly, or if it has been damaged or
dropped.
8.
Clean your range regularly. See “Care
and Cleaning” instructions that are in-
cluded with the range.
9.
Use the range only for its intended use as
described in this manual.
10. Do not store flammable materials on or
near the range. They could explode or
burn.
11. Do not use water on grease fires. Never
pick up a flaming pan. Smother flaming
pan on range by covering with a well-
fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Flam-
ing grease outside of pan can be extin-
guished with baking soda, or if available,
a multipurpose dry chemical or foam-type
extinguisher.
12. Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp
potholders on surface elements may re-
sult in burns from steam. Do not let the
potholder touch a surface element. Do
not use a towel or bulky cloth for a
potholder. It could catch on fire.
13. Make sure the utensils you use are large
enough to contain food and avoid boilovers
and spillovers. Heavy splattering or
spillovers left on a range can ignite and
burn you. Pan size is especially important
in deep fat frying.
14. Never leave elements unattended at high
heat settings. A boilover could result and
cause smoking and greasy spillovers that
may ignite.
15. Grease is flammable and should be
handled carefully. Let fat cool before at-
tempting to handle it. Do not allow grease
to collect around range or in vents. Wipe
spillovers immediately.
16. Check to be sure glass cooking utensils
are safe for use on the range. Only certain
types of glass, glass-ceramic, earthen-
ware or other glazed utensils are suitable
for ranges. Other types may break due to
the sudden change in temperature.
