SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

•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.

•Before performing any service,

DISCONNECT THE RANGE POWER SUPPLY AT THE HOUSEHOLD DISTRIBUTION PANEL BY REMOVING THE FUSE OR SWITCHING OFF THE CIRCUIT BREAKER.

•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.

•Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on the door, kick panel, drip tray handle, or cooktop. They could damage the range and even tip it over, causing severe personal injury.

•Do not store flammable materials in the oven or near the cooktop.

•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.

•For your safety, never use your appliance for warming or heating the room.

•Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while using the appliance. Be careful when reaching for items stored over the range. Flammable material could be ignited if brought in contact with surface burners, burner grates or oven 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 surface burners, burner grates or oven heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.

•When surface cooking, do not touch the surface burners, burner grates or the surrounding areas.

When using the oven, do not touch the oven heating elements, the interior surface of the oven or the exterior area immediately surrounding the door or back trim.

These surfaces may be hot enough to burn.

During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact, the surface burners, areas near the surface burners, or any interior area of the oven; allow sufficient time for cooling first.

Potentially hot surfaces include the cooktop, areas facing the cooktop, oven vent opening, surfaces near the opening, crevices around the oven door, the drip tray handle directly above the oven door and metal trim parts above the door.

The drip tray gets hot when the oven is on. Do not remove the drip tray until it is cool.

CAUTION: The inside surface of the oven may be hot when the door is opened.

•Do not store plastic, flammable liquids or combustible materials on top of the optional high shelf.

•Keep the ventilator hood and grease filters clean to maintain good venting and to avoid grease fires. Turn the ventilator OFF in case of fire or when intentionally “flaming” liquor or other spirits on the cooktop. The blower, if in operation, could spread the flames.

•DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion or ventilation air to the appliance. Be sure a fresh air supply is available.
