IMPORTANT
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock,
InJury to persons, or damage when using the
range, follow basic
l
Read
all instructions before using
the range.
l Install or locate the range only in
accordance with the provided
Installation Instructions. It is recommended that the range be
installed by a qualified installer.
The range must be properly
connected to electrical supply
and grounded.
0 Do not use the range for warm-
ing or heating the room. Persons
could be burned or injured, or
a fire could start.
l 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.
l Do not wear loose or hanging
garments when using the range.
They could ignite if they touch a
hot surface unit or heating ele
ment and you could be burned.
0 Do not repair or replace any
part of the range unless specifitally recommended in this manual. All other servicing should
be referred to a qualified
technician.
l Do not store flammable mate-
rials in or near the range. They
could explode or burn.
0 Do not use water on grease fires.
Never pick up a flaming pan.
Smother flaming pan on cook-
top by covering with a well-fitted
lid, cookie sheet or flat tray, Flam-
ing grease outside of pan can
be extinguished with baking
soda or, if available, a multipurpose dry chemical or foam-type
extinguisher.
l Use only dry potholders. Moist
or damp potholders on hot sur-
precautions, lncludlng
faces may result in burns from
steam. Do not let potholder touch
hot heating elements. Do not use
a towel or bulky cloth for a potholder. They could catch on fire.
l 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 may result in the
igniting of clothing or potholders.
Correct pan size also improves
cooking efficiency.
l Never leave surface units unat-
tended at high heat settings. A
boil-over could result and cause
smoking and greasy spillovers
that may ignite.
l Make sure the reflector bowls
are in place during cooking.
Cooking without reflector bowls
may subject the wiring and
components underneath them
to damage.
l Do not line reflector bowls with
aluminum foil or other liners.
Improper installation of these
liners may result in a risk of
electric shock or fire.
l Check to be sure glass cooking
utensils are safe for use on the
cooktop. 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.
l 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.
l Do not soak removable heating
elements in water. The element
COntlnUed
on
next page
will be damaged and shock or
fire could result.
l Use care when opening oven
door. Let hot air or steam escape
l Do not store things children
might want above the range.
Children could be burned or
injured while climbing on it.
before removing or replacing l Do not touch surface units, areas
food.
l Do not heat unopened con-
tainers. They could explode. The
hot contents could cause burns
and container particles could
cause injury.
l Keep range vents unobstructed.
l Always position 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.
l Do not clean door 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.
l 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.
l Before self-cleaning the oven,
remove broiler pan, broiler grid,
oven racks and other utensils.
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 may
become hot enough to cause
burns; such as, the oven vent
opening, the surface near the
vent opening, the cooktop, the
oven door and window.
