3. BEFORE USING YOUR RANGE FOR THE FIRST TIME
WARNING
NOTE: This range is NOT designed for installation in manufactured (mobile) homes or in recreational
vehicles (RVs).
DO NOT install this range outdoors.
WARNING
RANGE TIPPING HAZARD
- All ranges can tip
- Bodily injury can result
- Install the anti-tip device shipped with the range
- See installation instructions
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAN RESULT IN LOSS OF
LIFE OR SERIOUS BURNS TO CHILDREN AND ADULTS.
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, bodily injury, or property
damage when using the rangetop, observe basic safety precautions,
including the following:
- Proper installation is your responsibility. Make sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded
by a qualified installer.
- NEVER USE YOUR APPLIANCE AS A SPACE HEATER OR TO WARM THE ROOM.
- This appliance must only be used for cooking. Do not use this appliance as a dryer, kiln,
dehumidifier, etc. Fumes or vapors given off by glues, plastics or other non-food items could ignite
and cause material damage and personal injury.
- DO NOT LEAVE CHILDREN UNATTENDED: Children should not be left alone or unattended in the
area where the appliance is in use. Never allow children to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.
- Items of interest to children should not be stored in cabinets above the range. If children are allowed
to use the appliance, they must be closely supervised by an adult.
- Prevent children from touching the appliance when in use.
- WEAR PROPER APPAREL: loose-fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while using the
appliance.
- For safety reasons and to avoid damage to your appliance, never sit, stand or lean on the oven door.
- FLAMMABLE MATERIALS SHOULD NEVER BE STORED IN AN OVEN OR NEAR THE SURFACE
BURNERS.
- GREASE IS FLAMMABLE: Allow hot grease to cool before attempting to handle it. Do not permit
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 rangetop burners. Do not use towels or other bulky cloth
in place of potholders.

Important Safety Instruction
- Never allow garments, potholders or other flammable materials to come into direct or indirect contact
with burners until they have completely cooled.
- Use heat-resistant pot holders when placing items in the oven, shifting them, or removing them
from the oven. The upper heating element and oven racks can become very hot and cause burns.
- DO NOT TOUCH RANGETOP BURNERS OR THE INSIDE OF APPLIANCE: Burners 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 to the floor immediately and roll 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
element.
- 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 end user’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.
- 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 from 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 circulation. Foil
is an excellent heat insulator and heat can get trapped under it. This can interfere with cooking and
can damage the enamel of the oven.
- 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.

Important Safety Instruction
- To prevent burns, allow heating elements to cool before cleaning by hand.
- Clean only parts listed in this manual.
- During the self cleaning function the oven will become very hot. Prevent children from coming into
contact with the oven.
- Remove all accessories from the oven before the self-cleaning cycle is engaged. The high
temperatures required for this cycle will damage the accessories.
- Do not let metal objects (aluminum, foil, metal pans) come into contact with the heating elements.
- Do not slide cookware across the bottom of the oven. This could scratch and damage the enamel
oven lining.
- Do not lean, sit or place heavy items on the open oven door.
- Never add water to a hot oven tray or pan or pour water directly on food in a hot oven. The steam that
is formed could cause serious burns. Any sudden change in temperature can damage the oven's
enamel.
- Cover all cooked food that is left in the oven to be kept warm. This will prevent moisture from
condensing on the inside of the oven. Long-term or excessive condensation can damage the oven.
- Do not place pots, pans or baking sheets directly on the oven bottom when using the top and bottom
heating elements, the top and bottom heating elements + convection fan or the convection heating
element. This could crack the enamel lining of the oven bottom.
- Never use any part of the range or oven for storing flammable liquids or materials. Flammable
materials can ignite and plastic items may melt or burst into flame.
- Do not use a steam jet to clean the oven. Steam can penetrate the electrical components and
result in a short circuit.
- ONLY QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL SHOULD PERFORM REPAIRS. Service personnel
must disconnect the power supply before servicing this appliance.
- Never leave the range unattended when cooking with oil or grease as there is an increased
risk of fire if overheating occurs.
- Never use water on a grease fire!
- Put out the fire with an appropriately rated dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
- Make sure that the power cords of small appliances do not touch or get caught in the oven door.
- Do not clean the 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 commercial oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind
should be used in or around any part of the range.
