Your safety and the safety of others ar e very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.

T his is the Safety Alert Symbol. This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or injure you and others. All safety messages will follow the Safety Alert Symbol and either the words “DANGER”, “WARNING” or “CAUTION”. These words mean:

Danger means that failure to heed this safety statement may result in severe

personal injury or death.

Warning means that failure to heed this safety statement may result in extensive

product damage, serious personal injury, or death.

Caution means that failure to heed this

safety statement may result in minor or moderate personal inj ury, or property or equipment damage.

All safety messages will alert you to what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and let you know what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUIDES

Before the appliance is used, it must be properly positioned and installed as

described in this manual, so read the manual carefully. To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock or injury when using the appliance, follow basic precaution, including the following:

• It is recommended that a separate circuit, serving only your appliance be provided. Use receptacles that cannot be turned off by a switch or pull chain.

• Never clean appliance parts with flammable fluids. These fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion. And do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.

• Before proceeding with cleaning and maintenance operations, make sure the power line of the unit is disconnected.

• Unplug the appliance or disconnect power before cleaning or servicing. Failure to do so can result in electrical shock or death.

• Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your appliance unless it is specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.

• This appliance shall not be used for space heating. The surface unit should not be operated without cookware. This information is based on safety considerations.

• All openings in the wall behind the appliance and in the floor under the appliance shall be sealed.

• Keep appliance area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable

vapors.

• Do not obstruct the flow of ventilation air.

• Disconnect the electrical supply to the appliance before servicing.

• When removing appliance for cleaning and/or service:

• Disconnect AC power supply.

• Carefully remove the range by pulling outward.

CAUTION: Range is heavy. Use care in handling.

• The misuse of oven door (e.g. stepping, sitting, or leaning on them) can result in potential hazards and /or injuries.

• When installing or removing the range for service, a rolling life jack should be used. Do not push against any of the edges of the range in an attempt to slide it into or out of the installation. Pushing or pulling a range (rather than using a lift jack) also increases the possibility of bending the leg spindles or the internal coupling connectors.

• It is important for the appliance to be leveled in order to work properly. You may need to make several adjustments to level it.

• Never allow children to operate, play with or crawl inside the appliance.

• Electrical Grounding Instructions - The appliance must be installed and grounded by a qualified

technician in accordance with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70 (Latest Edition) and local electrical code requirements.

• 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 the surface units.

• Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires - Smother fire or flame or use dry chemical or foamtype extinguisher.

• Use Only Dry Potholders - Moist of damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.

• Use Proper Pan Size - This appliance is equipped with one or more surface units of different size. Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating element. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the heating element to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to burner will also improve efficiency.

• Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High Heat Settings – Boil over causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.

• Make Sure Reflector Pans or Drip Bowls Are in Place - Absence of these pans or bowls during cooking may subject wiring or components underneath to damage.

• Protective Liners - Do not use aluminum foil to line surface unit drip bowls or oven bottoms, except as suggested in the manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in a risk of electric shock, or fire.

• 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 sudden change in temperature.

• Utensil Handles Should Be turned Inward and Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface Units – To minimize 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.

injury when using the range, follow these basic precautions:

• Do Not Soak Removable Heating Elements – Heating elements should never be immersed in water.

• Do Not Cook on Broken Cook-top – If cook-top should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cook-top and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.

• Clean Cook-top 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.

• Placement of Oven Racks – Always place oven racks in desired location while oven is

cool. If rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not let potholder contact hot heating element in oven.

• Do Not Touch Surface Units, Heating Elements, Interior Surfaces of Oven or Areas Near Units - Surface units and heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in color. Area near surface and 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 surface units, areas near units 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 window of oven doors.
