Important Safety Instructions
1. Never use appliance for warming or
heating the room.
2. Children should not be left alone or
unattended in area where appliance is in
use. They should never be allowed to sit
or stand on any part of the appliance.
Appliance will get very hot in certain areas
which could cause burns.
3. Stove top may get uncomfortably hot
during prolonged usage of oven and/or top
burners (may even become hot enough to
cause burns). Please avoid skin contact
with stove top during operation.
4. Control knobs may get substantially hot
during prolonged oven and/or top burner
use (please ensure oven door is not
propped open by oven rack as this will
increase heat transferred to knobs).
5. Wear proper apparel – loose fitting or
hanging garments should never be worn
while using the appliance.
6. User servicing – do not replace any part
of the appliance unless specifically recom-
mended in the manual. All other servicing
should be referred to a qualified technician.
7. Storage in or on appliance – flammable
materials should not be stored in an oven,
near surface units or in range cabinet.
8. Do not use water on grease fires –
smother fire or flame or use dry chemical
or foam-type extinguisher.
9. 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.
Oven Safety
Do not touch heating elements or interior sur-
faces of oven – heating elements may be hot
even though they are dark in colour. Interior
surfaces of an oven become hot enough to cause
burns. During and after use, do not touch or
allow clothing or other flammable materials make
contact with 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 – for example: oven vent
openings, surfaces near these openings, oven
doors and stove top.
1. Use care when opening door – let hot air
or steam escape before removing or
replacing food.
2. Do not heat unopened food containers –
buildup of pressure may cause container to
burst and result in injury.
3. Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed.
4. 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.
Note: A thermostatically controlled cooling fan
may start up after prolonged usage of the
stove. The fan will automatically shut off
when the cooling cycle is complete.
