IMPORTANT SAFETY
Read all instructions before using this appliance.
SAFETY NOTICE
●
The California Safe Drinking Water and
Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor
California to publish a list substances known
to the state to cause birth defects or other
reproductive harm, and requires businesses to
warn customers of potential exposure to such
substances.
The fiberglass insulation in self-clean ovens
gives off a very small amount of carbon
monoxide during the cleaning cycle. Exposure
can be minimized by venting with an open
window or using a ventilation fan or hood.
When using electrical appliances, basic safety
precautions should be followed, including the
following:
●
Use this appliance only for its intended use as
described in this guide.
●
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 guide. All other servicing should be referred
to a qualified technician.
●
Before performing any service, DISCONNECT
THE RANGE POWER SUPPLY AT THE
HOUSEHOLD DISTRIBUTION PANEL BY
THE FUSE OR SWITCHING OFF
THE
BREAKER.
●
Have the installer show you the location of the
circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy
reference.
Be sure the range is securely installed in a
counter that is firmly attached to the house
structure. Weight on the oven door could cause the
oven to tip and result in injury. Never allow anyone
to climb, sit, stand or hang on the oven door.
●
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 or cause severe personal injury.
●
CAUTION: ITEMS OF INTEREST TO
CHILDREN SHOULD NOT BE STORED IN
CABINETS ABOVE A RANGE OR ON THE
BACKSPLASH OF A RANGE—CHILDREN
CLIMBING ON THE RANGE TO REACH
ITEMS COULD BE SERIOUSLY INJURED.
●
Never leave the oven door open when you are
not watching the range.
●
Always keep combustible wall coverings,
curtains or drapes a safe distance from
your range.
●
Do not store flammable materials in an oven or
near the cooktop.
●
Never wear
or hanging garments
while using the appliance. Be careful when
reaching for items stored over the range.
Flammable material could be ignited if brought in
contact with hot surface units or heating elements
and may cause severe burns.
●
Use only dry pot holders—moist
or damp pot holders on hot surfaces
may result in burns from steam.
Do not let pot holders touch hot surface units
or heating elements. Do not use a towel or
other bulky cloth. Such cloths can catch fire
on a hot surface unit or heating element.
●
For your safety, never use your appliance for
warming or heating the room.
Always keep dish
dish cloths, potholders
and other linens a safe distance from your range.
Always keep wooden and plastic utensils and
canned food a safe distance away from
your range.
