Tocheck if the device is instated and engaged properly, remove the kick panel or storage drawer and inspect the rear leveling leg. Make sure it fits securely into the slot.

If you pull tile range out from tile wall %r any reason, make sure tile device is properly engaged when you push the rang_ back against the wall. If it is not, there is a possible iisk of

IMPORTANTSAFETYNOtiCE

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. The fiberglass insulation in self-clean ovens gives off a very small amount of carbon monoxide during

the cleaning cycle. Exposure can be minimized by venting with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood.

RADIANTSURFACEUNITS

Use proper pan size--select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit

heating element. The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of the surface unit to direct

contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationshJ _of cookware to surface unit will also improve efficiency.

_{_Nexer leme the surface units unattended

at high heat settings, Boiloxers cause smoking and greasy spilloxers that may

catch on fire.

_{:_Only certain wpes of glass, glassA:eramic,

earthenware or other glazed containers

are suitable for cooktop service; others

m W break because of the sudden chang_ in temperature.

_?{:_To minimize the possibility of bnlr71s,
