Important Safety Instructions
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury to persons, or damage when using the range,
follow basic precautions, including the following:
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.

l
To reduce the risk of tipping of the
appliance, the appliance must be
secured by a properly installed anti-tip
bracket. To check if the bracket is
installed properly, remove the storage
drawer (see page 6) and verify that the
anti-tip bracket is engaged.
l
DO NOT operate the range if it is not
working properly, or if it has been
damaged.
. DO NOT use the range for warming or
heating the room. Persons could be
burned or injured, or a fire could start.
l
Use the range only for its intended use
as described in this manual.
l
DO NOT wear loose or hanging
garments when using the range. They
could ignite if they touch a surface unit
and you could be burned.
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
DO NOT touch surface units, areas
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 and the oven door.
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
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
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 bulky cloth for
a potholder. They could catch on 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
DO NOT heat unopened containers.
They could explode. The hot contents
could cause burns and container
particles could cause injury.
l
Grease is flammable and should be
handled carefully. Let fat cool before
attempting to handle it. DO NOT allow
grease to collect around cooktop or
in vents. Wipe spill-overs
immediately.
l
DO NOT use water on grease fires.
Never pick up a flaming pan. Smother
flaming pan on range by covering with
a well-fitted lid, cookie sheet or flat
tray. Flaming grease outside of pan
can be extinguished with baking soda
or, if available, a multipurpose dry
chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
l
Never leave surface units unattended
at high heat settings. A boil-over could
result and cause smoking and greasy
spill-overs that may ignite.
l
Make sure surface units are off when
you are finished, and when you aren’t
watching.
l
Use care when opening oven door.
Let hot air or steam escape before
removing or replacing food.
l
Always position oven racks in desired
location while oven is cool. If racks
must be removed while oven is hot, do
not let potholder contact hot heating
element in oven.
l
DO NOT store flammable materials on
or near the range. They could explode
or burn.
l
DO NOT store things children might
want above the range. Children could
be burned or injured while climbing
on it.
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
Keep range vents unobstructed.
l
Clean your range regularly. See care
and cleaning instructions in this
manual.
l
Be sure all range parts are cool before
cleaning.
