Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety

messages.

This is the safety alert symbol.
This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.

All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word "DANGER" or "WARNING."

These words mean:

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately

follow instructions.

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow
instructions.

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can
happen if the instructions are not followed.

Therangewill not tip duringnormaluse.However,therangecantip ifyouapplytoomuchforceorweighttotheopendoorwithouttheanti-
tip bracketfasteneddownproperly.

Tip Over Hazard

A child or adult can tip the range and be killed.
Connect anti-tip bracket to rear range foot.

Reconnect the anti-tip bracket, if the range is moved.
See the installation instructions for details.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious burns to children and adults.

Anti-Tip Bracket

Range Foot

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 of

potential exposure to such substances.
WARNING: This product contains a chemical known to 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, and toluene.

Making sure the anti-tip bracket is installed:

• Slide range forward.

• Look for the anti-tip bracket securely attached to floor.

• Slide range back so rear range foot is under anti-tip bracket.

iMPORTANT SAFETY iNSTRUCTiONS

WARN(NG: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock,

injury to persons, or damage when using the range, follow

basic precautions, including the following:
[] WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF TIPPING OF

THE RANGE, THE RANGE MUST BE SECURED BY
PROPERLY INSTALLED ANTI-TIP DEVICES. TO CHECK

IF THE DEVICES ARE INSTALLED PROPERLY, SLIDE
RANGE FORWARD, LOOK FOR ANTI-TIP BRACKET

SECURELY ATTACHED TO FLOOR, AND SLIDE RANGE
BACK SO REAR RANGE FOOT IS UNDER ANTI-TIP

BRACKET.

[] CAUTION: Do not store items of interest to children in

cabinets above a range or on the backguard of a range -
children climbing on the range to reach items could be
seriously injured.

[] Proper Installation - Be sure the range is properly installed

and grounded by a qualified technician.

[] Never Use the Range for Warming or Heating the Room.
[] Do Not Leave Children Alone - Children should not be left

alone or unattended in area where the range is in use.
They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of
the range.

[] Wear Proper Apparel- Loose-fitting or hanging garments

should never be worn while using the range.

[] User Servicing - Do not repair or replace any part of the

range unless specifically recommended in the manual. All
other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.

[] Storage in or on the Range - Flammable materials should

not be stored in an oven or near surface units.

[] Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires - Smother fire or flame

or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

[] Use Only Dry Potholders - Moist or damp potholders on

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

[] DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR

UNITS - Surface units may be hot even though they are
dark in color. Areas near surface units may become hot
enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch,

or let clothing or other flammable materials contact surface
units or areas near units until they have had sufficient time
to cool. Among those areas are the cooktop and surfaces

facing the cooktop.

[] Use Proper Pan Size - The range is equipped with one or

more surface units of different size. Select utensils having
flat 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

burner will also improve efficiency.

[] Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High Heat

Settings - Boilover causes smoking and greasy spillovers
that may ignite.

[] Make Sure Reflector Pans or Drip Bowls Are in Place -

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

[] Protective Liners - Do not use aluminum foil to line surface

unit drip bowls or oven bottoms, except as suggested in

the manual. Improper installation of these liners may result

in a risk of electric shock, or fire.

[] Glazed Cooking Utensils - Only certain types of glass,

glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed
utensils are suitable for range-top service without breaking

due to the sudden change in temperature.

[] Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extend

Over Adjacent Surface Units - To reduce the risk of burns,

ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to
unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of a
utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and

does not extend over adjacent surface units.

[] Do Not Soak Removable Heating Elements - Heating

elements should never be immersed in water.

[] Do Not Cook on Broken Cooktop - If cooktop should

break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the
broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Contact

a qualified technician immediately.

[] Clean Cooktop With Caution - If a wet sponge or cloth is

used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to
avoid steam burn. Some cleaners can produce noxious

fumes if applied to a hot surface.

[] Use Care When Opening Door - Let hot air or steam

escape before removing or replacing food.

[] Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers - Build-up of

pressure may cause container to burst and result in injury.
[] Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed.
[] Placement of Oven Racks - Always place oven racks in

desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved

while oven is hot, do not let potholder contact hot heating

element in oven.
[] DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR

SURFACES OF OVEN - Heating elements may be hot even

though they are dark in color. Interior surfaces of an oven

become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use,

do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials

contact heating elements or interior surfaces of oven until
they have had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the

appliance may become hot enough to cause burns - among

these surfaces are oven vent openings and surfaces near
these openings, oven doors, and windows of oven doors.

For self-cleaning ranges -
[] Do Not Clean 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 oven.
[] Clean Only Parts Listed in Manual.
[] Before Self-Cleaning the Oven - Remove broiler pan and

other utensils.
For units with ventilating hood -

[] Clean Ventilating Hoods Frequently - Grease should not

be allowed to accumulate on hood or filter.
[] When flambeing foods under the hood, turn the fan on.
