Visually check that the wall-mounted brackets are inserted into the appropriate lateral hooks (on both sides).

NOTE: This range is NOT designed for installation in manufactured (mobile) homes or in recreational vehicles (RVs).

DO NOT install this range outdoors.

WARNING

by a qualified installer.

- WARNING: NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so may

result in carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating of the oven.

area where the appliance is being used. Never allow children to sit or stand on any part of the

appliance.

- Do not store items of interest to children in the area where the appliance is in use. If children are

- For safety reasons and to avoid damage to your appliance, never sit, stand or lean on the oven door.

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, personal injury, or damage when

using the range, follow basic safety precautions, including the following:

Important Safety Instructions

- FLAMMABLE MATERIALS SHOULD NEVER BE STORED IN THE OVEN OR NEAR THE

SURFACE BURNERS.

- GREASE IS FLAMMABLE: Allow hot grease to cool before attempting to handle it. Do not allow

deposits of grease to accumulate.

- DO NOT USE WATER ON GREASE FIRES: Turn the appliance off and smother the fire with baking

soda or use a dry chemical or a foam-type extinguisher.

- USE ONLY DRY POTHOLDERS: Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may cause burns from

steam. Do not allow potholders to touch hot surface burners. Do not use towels or other bulky cloth in

place of potholders.

- Never allow garments, potholders or other flammable materials to come into direct or indirect contact

with burners until they have completely cooled.

- DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE BURNERS OR THE INSIDE OF THE APPLIANCE: Heating elements

may be hot even though they are dark in color. The oven cavity can be hot enough to cause burns.

During and after use, do not touch areas near burners or the inside of the oven until they have had

sufficient time to cool. Do not allow garments or any flammable material to come into contact with hot

surfaces. If personal clothing or hair catches on fire, drop and roll immediately to extinguish the

flames.

- PLACE THE OVEN RACKS IN THE DESIRED POSITION WHILE THE OVEN IS COOL: If a rack

must be removed while the oven is hot, do not allow the potholders to come in contact with the broiler

burner.

- USE CAUTION WHEN OPENING THE OVEN DOOR: Allow hot air or steam to escape before

removing or placing foods in the oven.

- Do not leave the packing materials around the home. Sort the various items of waste and take them

to the nearest specialized waste collection facility.

- Do not obstruct oven vents or openings for air intake.

- ELECTRICAL GROUNDING IS REQUIRED. It is the customer’s responsibility:

a) To contact a qualified electrician.

b) To ensure that the electrical system is adequate and in compliance with the National Electrical

Code ANSI / NFPA 70 Electrical Code – latest edition – Or the CANADIAN ELECTRICAL CODE,

C22.11 – 1982 and C22.2 No. 01982 – or latest edition – and all local codes and ordinances.

- Always check that the controls are in the "zero" (off) position when the range is not in use.

- Use only pots or pans with a perfectly smooth, flat bottom on the range surface burners. NEVER

USE THE RANGETOP AS A WORK SURFACE.

Important Safety Instructions

- Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of this appliance unless specifically recommended in this

manual. All other servicing should be done by a qualified technician.

- Never use any part of the range or oven for storage. Flammable materials can ignite and plastic

items may melt or burst into flame.

- Do not hang articles on any part of the appliance or place anything against the oven. Some fabrics

are extremely flammable and could ignite.

- DO NOT USE ALUMINUM FOIL TO LINE ANY PART OF THE OVEN OR RANGETOP. Use of a foil

liner can result in an electrical shock or fire hazard or obstruct the flow of heat and air. Foil is an

excellent heat insulator, allowing heat to be trapped under it. This can interfere with cooking and can

damage the enamel of the oven.

- Never leave the range unattended when using high heat settings. Boilover can cause smoke and

spattered grease can ignite.

IMPORTANT: After a spill or boilover, turn off the burner and clean around it. After cleaning, check

that the burner functions properly.

- Not all types of glass, thermally resistant glass-ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed

cookware are suitable for range use. This type of cookware can break with sudden temperature

changes. Use only on low or medium heat settings in accordance with the instructions supplied by

the manufacturer.

- DO NOT HEAT UNOPENED FOOD CONTAINERS: A buildup of pressure can cause the containers

to burst.

- DO NOT USE FLAMMABLE PRODUCTS TO CLEAN THE RANGE.

- Do not clean, rub, damage or remove the oven door gasket. It is essential for a good, tight seal

during baking and when the self-clean cycle is engaged. Replace the oven door gasket if it becomes

damaged or encrusted with food residue.

- Be sure all range surface burners controls are turned off and that the rangetop is cool before using

any type of cleaning product. The chemical elements in these products could, in the presence of

heat, ignite or cause metal parts to corrode.

- ONLY QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL SHOULD PERFORM REPAIRS. Service personnel must

disconnect the power supply before servicing this unit.

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

WAR NIN G: This product contains a chemical known by the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.

This appliance can cause low-level exposure to some of the substances listed, including benzene, formaldehyde, carbon monoxide, toluene, and soot.
