Important Safety Instructions
Remove all tape and packaging wrap before using the
range. Destroy the carton and plastic bags after
unpacking the range. Never allow children to play with
packaging material.
Proper Installation—Be sure your appliance is properly
installed and grounded by a qualified technician in
accordance with CSA C22.1 PART 1 — latest edition and
local code requirements. Install only per installation in-
structions provided in the literature package for this range.
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.
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 panels, wire covers or any other part of the
product.
Stepping, leaning or sitting on the door or
drawer 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 or warmer drawer (if
equipped) for storage.
Storage in or on Appliance — Flammable materials
should not be stored in an oven, near surface units or in
the storage drawer. This includes paper, plastic and cloth
items, such as cookbooks, plasticware and towels, as well
as flammable liquids. Do not store explosives, such as
aerosol cans, on or near the range. Flammable materials
may explode and result in fire or property damage.
Do not store items of interest to children
in the cabinets above a range or on the backguard of a
range. Children climbing on the range to reach items could
be seriously injured.
Do not leave children alone. Children should not be
left alone or unattended in the area where an appliance
is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on
any part of the appliance.
DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS, AREAS NEAR THESE
UNITS, OVEN HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SUR-
FACES OF THE OVEN OR WARMER DRAWER (if
equipped). Both surface units and oven heating elements
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 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 foam-type 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 hot heating surface units or interior
oven elements. 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.
Electronic controllers can be damaged
by cold temperatures. When you use your range for the
first time, or if it has not been used for a long period of
time, make sure that it has been exposed to a tempera-
ture above 0°C/32°F for at least 3 hours before connect-
ing it to the power supply.
