GE RB787 Oven User Manual


 
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
• The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic
Enforcement Act requires the Governor of
California to publish a list of substances known to
the state to cause birth defects or other reproductive
harm, and requires businesses to warn customers
of potential exposure to such substances.
• The fiberglass insulation in self-clean ovens
gives off a very small amount of carbon
monoxide during the cleaning cycle. Exposure
can be minimized by venting with an open
window or using a ventilation fan or hood.
When using electrical appliances, basic safety
precautions should be followed, including the
following:
• Use this appliance only for its intended use
as described in this guide.
• Be sure your appliance is properly installed and
grounded by a qualified technician in accordance
with the provided Installation Instructions.
• Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of
your range unless it is specifically recommended
in this guide. All other servicing should be referred
to a qualified technician.
• Have the installer show you the location of the
circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy reference.
• Before performing any service, DISCONNECT
THE RANGE POWER SUPPLY AT THE
HOUSEHOLD DISTRIBUTION PANEL BY
REMOVING THE FUSE OR SWITCHING OFF
THE CIRCUIT BREAKER.
WARNING—All ranges
can tip and injury could result. To
prevent accidental tipping of the
range, attach it to the wall and floor by
installing the Anti-Tip device supplied.
To check if the device is installed and
engaged properly, remove the storage
drawer and inspect the rear leveling leg.
Make sure it fits securely into the slot.
If you pull the range out from the wall for any reason,
make sure the device is properly engaged when you
push the range back against the wall. If it is not,
there is a possible risk of the range tipping over and
causing injury if you or a child stand, sit or lean on
an open door.
Please refer to the Anti-Tip device information in
this guide. Failure to take this precaution could
result in tipping of the range and injury.
• Do not leave children alone—children should
not be left alone or unattended in an area where an
appliance is in use. They should never be allowed
to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.
• CAUTION: ITEMS OF INTEREST TO
CHILDREN SHOULD NOT BE STORED IN
CABINETS ABOVE A RANGE OR ON THE
BACKSPLASH OF A RANGE—CHILDREN
CLIMBING ON THE RANGE TO REACH
ITEMS COULD BE SERIOUSLY INJURED.
• Teach children not to play with the controls
or any other part of the range.
• Never leave the oven door open when you are
not watching the range.
• Always keep combustible wall coverings, curtains
or drapes a safe distance from your range.
• Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang
on the door, drawer or cooktop. They could
damage the range and even tip it over, causing
severe personal injury.
• Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments
while using the appliance. Be careful when
reaching for items stored in cabinets over the
range. Flammable material could be ignited if
brought in contact with hot surface units or
heating elements and may cause severe burns.
• Use only dry pot holders—moist or
damp pot holders on hot surfaces may
result in burns from steam. Do not let
pot holders touch hot surface units or heating
elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.
Such cloths can catch fire on a hot surface unit or
heating element.
• Always keep dish towels, dish cloths, pot
holders and other linens a safe distance from
your range.
• Always keep wooden and plastic utensils
and canned food a safe distance away from
your range.
