IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Tip Over Hazard

A child or adult can tip the range and be killed.•
Verify the anti-tip device has been installed to fl oor or wall.•
Ensure the anti-tip device is re-engaged to fl oor or wall when the range is moved.•
Do not operate the range without the anti-tip device in place and engaged.•
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious burns to children •
and adults.

To check if the anti-tip bracket is installed properly, use both arms and grasp the rear
edge of range back. Carefully attempt to tilt range forward. When properly installed,
the range should not tilt forward.

Refer to the anti-tip bracket installation instructions supplied with your range for
proper installation.

• Remove all tape and packaging wrap before using the appliance. Destroy the carton

and plastic bags after unpacking the appliance. Never allow children to play with

packaging material.

• Proper Installation—Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by

a qualifi ed technician in accordance in the United States with National Electrical
Code ANSI/NFP A No. 70—latest edition and local code requirements, and in Canada
with CSA C22.1 PART 1—latest edition and local code requirements. Install only per

installation instructions provided in the literature package for this appliance.
Ask your dealer to recommend a qualifi ed technician and an authorized repair service.

Know how to disconnect the electrical power to the range at the circuit breaker or fuse
box in case of an emergency.

• User Servicing—Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifi cally

recommended in the manuals. All other servicing should be done only by a qualifi ed

technician to reduce the risk of personal injury and damage to the appliance.

• Never modify or alter the construction of a range by removing leveling legs, panels,

wire covers, anti-tip brackets/screws, or any other part of the product.

Stepping, leaning or sitting on the door or drawer of this appliance

can result in serious injuries and may also cause damage to the appliance. Do not

allow children to climb or play around the appliance. The weight of a child on an open door
may cause the appliance to tip, resulting in serious burns or other injury. An open drawer,
when hot, may cause burns.

Do not use the oven or warmer drawer (if equipped) for storage.

• Storage in or on Appliance—Flammable materials should not be stored in an oven,

near surface units or in the drawer (if equipped). This includes paper, plastic and cloth

items, such as cookbooks, plasticware and towels, as well as fl ammable liquids. Do not
store explosives, such as aerosol cans, on or near the appliance. Flammable materials
may explode and result in fi re or property damage.

Do not store items of interest to children in the cabinets above the

appliance. Children climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously injured.

• Do not leave children alone. Children should not be left alone or unattended in the

area where an appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any

part of the appliance.

Safety

• DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS, AREAS NEAR THESE UNITS, OVEN HEATING
ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF THE OVEN OR WARMER DRAWER (if
equipped). Both surface units and oven heating elements may be hot even though they

are dark in color. Areas near surface units may become hot enough to cause burns.
During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other fl ammable materials touch
these areas until they have had suffi cient time to cool. Among these areas are the
cooktop, surfaces facing the cooktop, the oven vent openings and surfaces near these
openings, oven door and window.

• Wear Proper Apparel—Loose-fi tting or hanging garments should never be worn
while using the appliance. Do not let clothing or other fl ammable materials contact hot

surfaces.

To reduce the risk of burns, DO NOT move this appliance while hot.

This appliance is provided with casters to facilitate movement. To reduce the risk of
injury due to tipping of the appliance, verify the reinstallation of this appliance into
the anti-tip device provided after returning the appliance to the original installed
position.

Never use your appliance for warming or heating the room.

5

• Do Not Use Water or Flour on Grease Fires—Smother the fi re with a pan lid, or
use baking soda, a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

• When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Fat or grease may catch fi re if allowed

to become too hot.

• Use Only Dry Potholders—Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result
in burns from steam. Do not let the potholders touch hot heating surface units or

interior oven elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth instead of a potholder.

• Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers—Build up of pressure may cause the
container to burst and result in injury.

• Remove the oven door from any unused appliance if it is to be stored or
discarded.

• IMPORTANT—Do not attempt to operate the oven during a power failure. If the
power fails, always turn the oven off. If the oven is not turned off and the power

resumes, the oven may begin to operate again. Food left unattended could catch fi re or
spoil.

Electronic controllers can be damaged by cold temperatures. When
you use your appliance for the fi rst time, or if it has not been used for a long period
of time, make sure that it has been exposed to a temperature above 0°C/32°F for at
least 3 hours before connecting it to the power supply.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR COOKTOP

• Know which knob controls each surface heating unit.

• Use Proper Pan Size—This appliance is equipped with one or more surface units of

different sizes. Select utensils having fl at bottoms large enough to cover the surface
unit. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the surface heating unit to
direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to the
surface unit will also improve effi ciency .

• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Should Not Extend Over Adjacent

Surface Units—To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of fl ammable materials, and

spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil. The handle of the utensil should be
positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface unit.

6

Safety

• Never Leave Surface Units Unattended—Boilovers cause smoking and greasy

spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.

• Protective liners— Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottom or any other part of
the appliance. Only use aluminum foil as recommended for baking if used as a cover
placed on the food. Any other used of protective liners or aluminum foil may result in a
risk of electric shock or fi re or a short circuit.

• Glazed Cooking Utensils—Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic,
earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop service without breaking
due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer’s recommendations
for cooktop use.

• Do Not Use Decorative Surface Element Covers. If an element is accidentally turned
on, the decorative cover will become hot and possibly melt. Burns will occur if the hot
covers are touched. Damage may also be done to the cooktop.

FOR GLASS COOKTOPS ONLY

• Do Not Clean or Operate a Broken Cooktop —If cooktop should break, cleaning
solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric
shock. Contact a qualifi ed technician immediately.

• Clean Cooktop Glass with Caution—If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills
on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid a steam burn. Some cleaners can produce
harmful fumes if applied to a hot surface.

• Avoid scratching the cooktop glass with sharp objects.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR OVEN

• Use Care When Opening Door or Drawer—Stand to the side of the appliance when
opening the door of a hot oven. Let hot air or steam escape before you remove or
replace food in the oven/warmer drawer.

• Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed. The oven is vented at the front above the oven
door (ceramic glass cooktop models) or through the right rear element (coil element
models). Touching the surfaces in this area when the oven is operating may cause
severe burns. Also, do not place plastic or heat-sensitive items on or near the oven
vent. These items could melt or ignite.

• Placement of Oven/Warmer Drawer (if equipped) Racks. Always place oven racks
in desired location while oven/drawer (if equipped) is cool. Remove all utensils from
the rack before removing rack. If rack must be moved while oven is hot, use extreme
caution. Use potholders and grasp the rack with both hands to reposition. Do not
let potholders contact the hot oven element or interior of the oven/warmer drawer (if
equipped).

• Do not use a broiler pan without its insert. The broiler pan and grid allow dripping fat
to drain and be kept away from the high heat of the broiler.

• Do not cover your broiler or warmer drawer (if equipped) grid with aluminum foil.
Exposed fat and grease could ignite.

• Do not touch a hot light bulb with a damp cloth. Doing so could cause the bulb to
break. Disconnect the appliance or turn off the power to the appliance before removing
and replacing light bulb.

Safety

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING YOUR RANGE

• Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of grease that could catch fi re.

Exhaust fan ventilation hoods and grease fi lters should be kept clean. Do not allow
grease to accumulate. Greasy deposits in the fan could catch fi re. Refer to the hood
manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning.

• Cleaners/aerosols—Always follow the manufacturer’s recommended directions for
use. Be aware that excess residue from cleaners and aerosols may ignite causing
damage and/or injury.

SELF-CLEANING OVENS:

• Clean in the self-cleaning cycle only the parts of the oven listed in this owner’s

guide. Before self-cleaning the oven, remove all utensils stored in the oven.

• Do not clean the oven door gasket. The door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care

should be taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket.

• Oven racks. Oven racks will be damaged if left in the oven during a self-cleaning cycle.

• Do not use oven cleaners. No oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind

should be used in or around any part of the oven.

• Remove oven racks. Oven racks will be damaged if left in the oven during a self-

cleaning cycle.

The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off

during the self-clean cycle of any range. Move birds to another well ventilated room.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of
California to publish a list of substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or
other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure
to such substances.
