Safety Instructions

(All Models)

Important! Save these instructions for the local inspector’s use.

Warning! Prior to installing this appliance, read the Safety Instructions as they relate to Installation on pages 3 through 7 of this manual. Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious electric hazard, risk of fire, and/or personal injury.

Models 1860 & 1867 come with a 120 volt, 5 amp power cord & plug.

Use this appliance for its intended use, as described in this manual.

Never use your appliance for warming or heating the room.

Do not assume that you know how to operate all parts of the range. Some features may work differently from those of your previous range.

Do not climb, stand or hang on the door or range top. This can damage the range or tip it over, causing severe personal injury.

Children

Do not leave children alone in the area where your range is in use. They should never be allowed to stand or sit on any part of this appliance.

Instruct your small children that the range is not a toy and could hurt them. As your children grow up, teach them the proper and safe use of the range.

Children must be taught not to use the oven door as a stepping stool to reach the cabinet above, as it may result in an injury.

Caution

Do not store items of interest to children on cabinet above the range or on the back of the cooking surface. Children climbing to reach items could be seriously injured.

When cleaning cycle is on, the oven door and cooking surface will be hot. Keep children away from the range as a safety precaution.

Storage

Do not store gasoline, flammable vapors or materials, etc., in the oven, under or around the appliance area.

Hot Surface

Exercise caution. Surfaces may be hot enough to burn. Electric elements may be hot even when they appear dark in color.

Do not operate surface burners without utensils in place.

Allow elements and burner surfaces to cool before cleaning. If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burn. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.

Loose clothing of flammable material (pot holders) could ignite if brought in contact with hot burners and may cause severe burns.

Moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let pot holders touch hot heating elements. Do not use towels or other bulky cloths as pot holders.

Cooktop temperatures increase with the number of elements on. With three or four elements turned on, surface temperatures are high. Exercise care when touching the cooktop.

Fire

Keep the hood and grease filters clean to maintain good venting and to avoid grease fires.

Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate in or near the range.

Grease

Grease is flammable and should be handled carefully. Avoid letting grease deposits collect around the range in vent fans. Don’t leave cans of drippings sit around the range; refrigerate or dispose of promptly. Let quantities of hot fat (a pan of deep fat for example) cool before attempting to move or handle it. Grease fires can often be extinguished by quickly putting on the pan lid or by covering with baking soda. Do not attempt to extinguish with water because this will spread the fire.

Never pick up a flaming pan.

Oven

Stand away from range when opening the oven door. Hot air or steam which escapes can cause burns.

Do not heat unopened food containers in the oven. Pressure could build up and the container could burst, causing injury or damage to the range.

Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. Keep oven free from grease build up.

Place oven rack in desired position while oven is cool. If rack must be handled when hot, do not let pot holder touch heating elements in the oven.

Pull out oven rack to the rack stop to reduce chance of burns from touching hot surfaces of the door and oven.

When using cooking or roasting bags in oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.

Do not use your oven to dry newspapers.

Aluminum Foil

Do not use aluminum foil near the broil element. This could cause damage to the elements.
