IMPORTANT

IMPORTANT indicates installation, operation, maintenance or valuable information that is not hazard related.

Important Safety Instructions

• Remove all tape and packaging before using

the range. Destroy the carton and plastic bags after unpacking the range. Never allow children to play with packaging material.

• Proper installation—Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualied

technician in accordance with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70 latest edition and local electrical code requirements. Install only

per installation instructions provided in the literature package for this range.

• User servicing—Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specically recommended

in the manuals. All other servicing should be done only

by a qualied technician. This may reduce the risk of

personal injury and damage to the range.

Ask your dealer to recommend a qualied technician and

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

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.

•Never modify or alter the construction of a range

by removing the leveling legs, panels, wire covers,

anti-tip brackets/screws, or any other part of the

range.

• Remove the oven door from any unused range if

it is to be stored or discarded.

Stepping, leaning or sitting on the door or drawers of a range can result in serious injuries and also cause damage to the appliance. DO NOT

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

Never use your appliance for warming or heating the room.

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

Save these instructions for future reference.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION

WARNING

• Storage in or on appliance—ammable

materials should not be stored in an oven, warmer drawer, near surface units or in the storage drawer. This includes paper, plastic and

cloth items, such as cookbooks, plasticware and

towels, as well as ammable liquids. Do not store

explosives, such as aerosol cans, on or near the range.

• DO NOT LEAVE CHILDREN ALONE —children

should not be left alone or unattended in the area where appliance is in use. They should

never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance, including the storage drawer, lower broiler drawer, warmer drawer or lower double oven.

• Do not store items of interest to children in the cabinets above a range or on the backguard of

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

• Do not touch surface heating units or surface cooking elements, areas near these units or

elements, or interior surface of the oven. Both surface heating and oven heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near surface cooking units may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or

let clothing or other ammable materials touch these areas until they have had sufcient time to cool.

Among these areas are the cook top, surfaces facing the cook top, the oven vent openings and surfaces near these openings, oven door and oven door window.

• Wear proper apparel—loose-tting or hanging

garments should never be worn while using the appliance. Do not let clothing or other

ammable materials contact hot surfaces.

IMPORTANT

• Do not use water or our on grease res— smother the 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 re if allowed to become too hot.

• Use dry potholders - moist or damp potholders

on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholders touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth instead of a potholder.

• Do not heat unopened food containers - buildup

of pressure may cause container to burst and result in injury.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR OVEN

• Use care when opening oven door , lower oven

door or warmer drawer (if equipped)—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 vent is located under the left rear surface element if your model is equipped with coil elements. The oven vent is located below the backguard for models equipped with ceramic-glass cook tops. 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 interior oven racks. Always place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. 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 heating elements in the oven. Remove all utensils from the rack before moving.

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

not cover the broiler insert with aluminum foil. Exposed fat and grease could ignite.

• Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven bottom. Only use aluminum foil as recommended in this manual. Improper installation of these liners may

result in risk of electric shock, or re.

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. Once the power resumes, reset the clock and oven function.

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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION

WARNING

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING

YOUR RANGE.

Before manually cleaning any part of the range, be sure all controls are turned OFF and the range is COOL. The range may be hot and can cause burns.

• Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of

grease that could catch re. Pay particular attention

to the area around each surface element. Do not allow grease to accumulate.

• Kitchen cleaners and aerosols—Always follow the

manufacturer’s recommended directions for use. Be aware that excess residue from cleaners and aerosols may ignite causing damage and injury.

• Clean ventilating hoods frequently—Grease

should not be allowed to accumulate on the hood

or lter. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning hoods.

COIL COOK TOP MODELS

• Protective Liners—Do not use aluminum foil to

line surface unit drip bowls, or reector pans. Only

use aluminum foil as recommended in this manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk

of electric shock, or re.

• Utensil handles should be turned inward and not

extend over adjacent surface elements—To reduce

the risk of burns, ignition of 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 units.

• Do not immerse or soak removable heating elements—Heating elements should never be

immersed in water. Heating elements clean themselves during normal operation.

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

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

For models factory-equipped with a power cord:

Avoid re hazard or electrical shock. Failure to follow this warning may cause serious injury, re, or death.

For personal safety, this appliance must be properly grounded. For maximum safety, the power cord must be plugged into an electrical outlet that is the correct voltage, is correctly polarized and properly grounded in accordance with local codes.

• Make Sure Reector Pans or Drip Bowls Are in

Place—Absence of these pans or bowls during cooking may subject wiring or components underneath to damage.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING

YOUR COOKTOP

• Know which knob controls each surface heating

unit. Place a pan of food on the unit before turning it on, and turn the unit off before removing the pan.

• When aming foods under a ventilating hood,

turn the fan on.

• Use proper pan size—This appliance is equipped with one or more surface units of different sizes. Select

utensils having at 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 efciency.

• Never leave surface elements unattended at high

heat settings—Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.

Power supply cord with 4-prong grounding plug

It is the personal responsibility of the consumer to have the appropriate outlet with the correct, properly

grounded wall receptacle installed by a qualied

electrician.

Avoid re hazard or electrical shock. Do not use

an adapter plug, use an extension cord, or remove grounding prong from the power cord. Failure to follow

this warning may cause serious injury, re, or death.

See the installation instructions packaged with this appliance for complete installation and grounding instructions.
