Ask your dealer to recommend a qualified technician and an authorized repair service. Know how to disconnect the electrical power to the range at the circuit breaker or fuse box in case of an emergency.

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.

• User Servicing—Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recommended in the manuals. All other servicing should be done only by a qualified technician to reduce the risk of personal injury and damage to the range.

• Never modify or alter the construction of a range by

removing leveling legs, panels, wire covers, anti-tip brackets/ screws, or any other part of the product.

RISK OF TIPPING OF THE RANGE, THE RANGE MUST BE SECURED BY PROPERLY INSTALLED ANTI-TIP 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.

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.

Do not use the oven for storage.

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

such as cookbooks, plasticware and towels, as well as flammable

• DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE BURNERS, AREAS NEAR THESE BURNERS, OVEN BURNER OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF THE OVEN. Areas near surface burners 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 the flame or burners. 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 oven during

a power failure. If the power fails, always turn the oven off.

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

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR COOKTOP

• Know which knob controls each surface heating unit.

Use Proper Flame Size—Adjust flame size so it

does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil. The use of

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS(continued)

undersized utensils will expose a portion of the burner flame to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to flame will also improve efficiency.

• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extend Over Adjacent Surface Burners—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 burners.

• Never Leave Surface Burners Unattended at High Settings— Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.

• Protective Liners—Do not use aluminum foil to line surface burner pans, oven bottom or any other part of the range. Use of protective liners or aluminum foil may interfere with heat and air distribution, and combustion. Damage to the range or personal injury may result.

• 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 Burner Covers. If a burner is accidentally turned on, the decorative cover will become hot and possibly melt. You will not be able to see that the burner is on. Burns will occur if the hot covers are touched. Damage may also be done to the cooktop or burners because the covers may cause overheating. Air will be blocked from the burner and cause combustion problems.

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 below the backguard. 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 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 oven burner flame 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 burner. 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.

CONTINUOUS CLEANING OVENS (some models):

• Do not use oven cleaners on the oven liner or any of the continuous cleaning surfaces. Continuous cleaning surfaces can

be identified by their rough surface finish.

SELF-CLEANING OVENS (some models):

• 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 remove 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.
