• SEE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.

Stepping, leaning or sitting on the doors or drawers of this range can result in serious injuries and may also cause damage to the range. Do not allow children to climb

or play around the range. The weight of a child on an open door may cause the range to tip, resulting in serious burns or other injury.

THE RISK OF TIPPING OF THE RANGE, THE RANGE MUST BE SECURED BY PROPERLY INSTALLED ANTITIP BRACKET(S) PROVIDED WITH THE RANGE. TO CHECK IF THE BRACKET(S) IS INSTALLED PROPERLY, REMOVE THE LOWER PANEL OR STORAGE DRAWER AND VERIFY THAT THE ANTI-TIP BRACKET(S) IS ENGAGED. REFER TO THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR PROPER ANTI-TIP BRACKET(S) INSTALLATION.

This symbol will help alert you to situations that

may cause bodily injury or property damage.

• Storage in or on Appliance—Flammable materials should not be stored in an oven, near surface elements or in the storage drawer (if equipped). This includes paper, plastic and

cloth items, such as cookbooks, plasticware and towels, as well as flammable liquids. Do not store explosives, such as aerosol cans, on or near the range. Flammable materials may explode and result in fire or property damage.

• 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.

• DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS, AREAS NEAR THESE UNITS, HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF THE OVEN.

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 flammable materials touch these areas until they have had sufficient 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-fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while using the appliance. Do not let

clothing or other flammable materials contact hot surfaces.

Never use your appliance for warming or

heating the room.

• Do Not Use Water or Flour on Grease Fires—Smother the fire with a pan lid, or use baking soda, a dry chemical or foamtype extinguisher.

• When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Fat or grease

may catch fire 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 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 range if it is to be stored or discarded.

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

If the range is not turned off and the power resumes, the range will begin to operate again. Food left unattended could catch fire or spoil.

Do not use the oven for storage.

Do not store items of interest to children in

the cabinets above a range or on the backguard of a range.

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

Cold temperatures can damage the electronic control. When using the appliance for the first time, or when the appliance has not been used for an extended period of time, be certain the unit has been in temperatures above 32°F for at least 3 hours before turning on the power to the appliance.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (continued)

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR COOKTOP

• Know which knob controls each surface heating element.

• Use Proper Pan Size—This appliance is equipped with one or

more surface elements of different sizes. 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 element will also improve efficiency.

• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface Elements—To reduce the risk of burns,

ignition of flammable 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 elements.

• Do Not Immerse or Soak Removable Heating Elements.

Heating elements should never be immersed in water. Heating elements clean themselves during normal operation.

• Never Leave Surface Elements Unattended at High Settings—Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that

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

• Make sure Drip 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 reflector pans, drip bowls, oven bottom or any other part of the range. Only use aluminum foil as recommended for baking if used as a cover placed on the food. Any other use of protective liners or aluminum foil 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 rangetop service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer's recommendations for rangetop use.

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

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR OVEN

• Use Care When Opening Door—Stand to the side of the range

when opening the door of a hot oven. Let hot air or steam escape before you remove or replace food in the oven.

• Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed. The oven is vented

through the left rear surface element. 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 Racks. Always place oven racks in the

desired location while oven is cool. If a rack must be moved while the 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. Remove all utensils from the rack before removing rack.

• Do not use the 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 the broiler grid with aluminum foil. Exposed fat

and grease could ignite.

• Do not touch a hot light bulb (some models) with a damp cloth. Doing so could cause the bulb to break. Disconnect the

range or turn off the power to the range before removing and replacing light bulb.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING YOUR RANGE

• Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of grease that could catch fire. Pay particular attention to the area

underneath each surface element. Exhaust fan ventilation hoods and grease filters should be kept clean. Do not allow grease to accumulate. Greasy deposits in the fan could catch fire. Refer to the hood manufacturer's instructions for cleaning.

• Kitchen 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 the broiler pan and any 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.

• 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.
