Range Safety
Your safety is important to us.
This guide contains safety statements under
warning symbols. Please pay special
attention to these symbols and follow any
instructions given. Here is a brief explanation of the use of the syrnbd.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury
to persons, or damage when using the range,
follow basic precautions, including the following:
This symbd alerts you to such dangers
as personal injury, bums, fire, and
eiectriii shock.
F
General
*Read all instructions before
using the range.
4nstall or locate the range only in
accordance with the provided
Installation Instructions. The
range must be installed by a
qualified installer. The range
must be properly connected to
electrical supply and grounded.
*WARNING: To reduce the risk of
tipping of the appliance, the
appliance must be secured by a
properly installed anti-tip bracket.
To check if the bracket is installed properly, see “The anti-tip
bracket” on page 19.
@CAUTION: Do not store things
children might want above the
range. Children could be burned
or injured while climbing on it.
.Do not leave children 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. They
could be burned or injured.
@Do not operate the range if it is
damaged or not working properly.
@Do not use the range for warming
or heating the room. Persons
could be burned or injured, or a
fire could start.
l use the range only for its intended
use as described in this manual.
@Do not touch surface units, areas
near units, heating elements, or
interior surfaces of oven. Surface
units and heating elements may
be hot even though they are dark
in color. Areas near surface units
and 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 surface units,
areas near units, heating elements,
or interior surfaces of oven until
they have had sufficient time to
cool. Other surfaces of the range,
such as the oven vent opening, the
surface near the vent opening, the
cooktop, and the oven door and
window, could also become hot
enough to cause burns.
*Do not wear loose or hanging
garments when using the range.
They could ignite if they touch a
hot surface unit and you could
be burned.
@Use only dry pot holders. Moist
or damp pot holders on hot
surfaces could result in burns
from steam. Do not let pot
holder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or
bulky cloth for a pot holder. It
could catch on fire.
l
Keep range vents unobstructed.
.Do not heat unopened contain-
ers. They could explode. The
hot contents could cause burns
and container particles could
cause injury.
@Use only utensils approved for
oven use. Follow utensil
manufacturer’s instructions,
especially when using glass or
plastic utensils.
@Do not store flammable materials
on or near the range. The fumes
could create an explosion and/or
fire hazard.
When using the cooktop
l Make sure the reflector bowls
are in place during cooking.
Cooking without reflector bowls
could subject the wiring and
components underneath them
to damage.
ADO not line reflector bowls with
aluminum foil or other liners. Improper installation of these liners
could result in a risk of electric
shock or fire.
@Select a pan with a flat bottom
that is about the same size as the
surface unit. If pan is smaller
than the surface unit, some of the
heating element will be exposed
and could result in the igniting of
clothing or pot holders. Correct
pan size also improves cooking
efficiency.
*Check to be sure glass cooking
utensils are safe for use on the
range. Only certain types of glass,
glass-ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are
suitable for cooktops without
breaking due to the sudden
change in temperature.
*Never leave surface units unat-
tended at high heat settings. A
boilover could result and cause
smoking and greasy spillovers
that could ignite.
@Turn pan handles inward, but not
over other surface units. This will
help reduce the chance of burns,
igniting of flammable materials,
and spills due to bumping of
the pan.

When using the oven
Care and cleaning
aAlways position oven rack(s) in
desired location while oven is
cool. If a rack must be removed
while oven is hot, do not let
pot
holder contact hot heating eiement in oven.
@Use care when opening oven
door. Let hot air or steam escape
before removing or replacing
food.
Grease
*Grease is flammable. Do not
allow grease to collect around
cooktop or in vents. Wipe
spillovers immediately.
&i&
m
*Do not use water on grease fires.
Never pick up a flaming pan.
Smother flaming pan on range by
coveriig with a well-fitted lid,
cookie sheet, or flat tray. Flaming
grease outside of pan can be
extinguished with baking soda or,
if available, a multipurpose dry
chemical or foam-type
extinguisher.
- SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS -
@Do not soak removable heating
elements in water. The element
will be damaged and shock or fire
could result.
@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.
*Do not clean door heat seal. It is
essential for a good seal. Care
should be taken not to rub, damage, or move the seal. Clean only
parts recommended in this Use
and Care Guide.
*Do not repair or replace any part
of the range unless specifically
recommended in this manual. All
other servicing should be referred
to a qualified technician.
*Disconnect the electrical supply
before servicing the range.
