WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury to persons, or damage
when using the range, follow basic precautions, including the following:
- Proper installation is your responsibility. Make sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded
by a qualified technician.
- NEVER USE YOUR APPLIANCE FOR WARMING OR HEATING THE ROOM.
- DO NOT LEAVE CHILDREN ALONE: 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.
CAUTION: Do not store items of interest to children in an area where the appliances are in use.
Children climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously injuried.
- WEAR PROPER APPAREL: loose fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while using the
appliance.
- For safety reasons and to avoid equipment damage, never sit, stand or lean on the oven door.
- FLAMMABLE MATERIALS SHOULD NEVER BE STORED IN AN OVEN OR NEAR SURFACE
UNITS.
- GREASE IS FLAMMABLE: Let hot grease cool before attempting to handle it. Avoid letting grease
deposits collect.
- DO NOT USE WATER ON GREASE FIRES: Turn appliance off and smother fire with baking soda or
use dry chemicals or foam-type extinguisher.
- USE ONLY DRY POTHOLDERS: Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may cause burns from
steam. Do not let potholders touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloths in
place of potholders.
- Never let clothing, potholders or other flammable materials come in contact with or too close to any
element until it has completely cooled.
- DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR UNITS – Surface units 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 contact surface units
or areas near units until they have had sufficient time to cool. Among those areas are the cooktop
and surfaces facing the cooktop.
- DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF OVEN – Heating elements
may be hot even though they are dark in color. 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
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 – among these surfaces are oven
vent openings and surfaces near these openings, oven doors, and windows of oven doors.
- PLACE THE OVEN RACKS IN DESIRED POSITION WHILE THE OVEN IS COOL. If a rack must be
removed while the oven is hot, do not let potholders contact hot heating element in oven.
- USE CARE WHEN OPENING THE OVEN DOOR: Let hot air or steam escape before removing or
replacing foods.
- Do not leave the packaging in the home environment. Separate the various waste materials and take
them to the nearest special garbage collection centre.
- Do not obstruct ventilation openings and heat dispersal slits.
