SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Ø
If the range is to be installed on an area covered with linoleum or any other floor
covering, make sure that the floor covering can withstand 90 F (65°C) above room
temperature without warping, shrinking or discoloring. Do not install the range over
carpeting.
Ø
Never store anything in the oven or the cooktop. Flammable materials can catch fire,
plastic items may melt or ignite and other types of items could be ruined.
Ø
This appliance is for cooking. Based on safety considerations, never use the oven or
cooktop to warm or heat a room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning
and overheating of the oven. Also, such use can damage the cooktop or oven parts.
Ø
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.
Ø
Do not obstruct the flow of combustion or ventilation air to the appliance. Be sure a
fresh air supply is available.
Ø
When using the cooktop, do not touch the burner grates or the immediate surrounding
area. Areas adjacent to the burners may become hot enough to cause burns.
Ø
Do not hang articles from any part of the appliance or place anything against the oven.
Some fabrics are quite flammable and may catch on fire.
Ø
Children should not be left alone in the kitchen while the range is in use. Do not store
items of interest to children over the unit. Children climbing to reach items could be
seriously injured.
Ø
Do not use aluminum foil to line any part of the oven or cooktop.
Ø
When using the oven, do not touch the interior surfaces of the oven, the exterior area
immediately surrounding the door or the backtrim.
Ø
Disconnect from power supply before servicing.
