IMPORTANT

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury to persons, or damage when using the range, follow basic precaullons, including the followlng:

l Read all instructions before using the range.

l Install or locate the range only in accordance with the provided Installation Instructions. It is recom- mended that the ran e be in- stalled by a qualifie 8 installer. The ran e must be properly con-

net 3ed to electrical supply and

gr%nded.

mTo reduce the risk of tipping of the appliance, the appliance must be secured by a properly in- stalled anti-tip bracket. To check if the bracket is installed properly, remove the storage drawer [see page16 and verify that the anti- tip brat 1,et is engaged.

lDo not use the range for warmin

or heating the room. Persons cou9d be burned or injured, or a fire could start.

b 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.

b Do not wear loose or hanging gar- ments when using the range. They could ignite if they touch a hot sur- face unit or heating element and you could be burned.

b Do not repair or replace any part of the range unless specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicin should be referred to a qualified 9echnician.

n Do not store flammable materials in or near the range. They could explode or burn.

n Do not use water on grease fires.

Never pick up a flaming pan. Smother flamin pan on cooktop by covering wit1 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.

lUse only dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholder touch hot heat- ing elements. Do not use a towel or bulky cloth for a potholder. They could catch on fire.

lSelect 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 heat- ing element will be exposed and may result in the igniting of clothing or potholders. Correct pan size also improves cooking efficiency.

l Never leave surface units unat- tended at high heat settings. A boil-over could result and cause smoking and greasy spill-avers that may ignite.

lMake sure the reflector bowls are in lace during cooking. Cooking WI-Phout reflector bowls may sub- ject the wirin and components underneath tRem to damage.

lDo not line reflector bowls with aluminum foil or other liners. Im- proper installation of these liners may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.

lCheck 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.
