Important Safeguides

Before the appliance is used, it must be properly positioned and installed as described in this manual, so read the manual carefully. To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock or injury when using the appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following:

•It is recommended that a separate circuit, serving only your appliance be provided. Use receptacles that cannot be turned off by a switch or pull chain.

•Never clean appliance parts with flammable fluids. These fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion. And do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. The fumes can create a fire hazard or explosion.

•Before proceeding with cleaning and maintenance operations, make sure the power line of the unit is disconnected.

•Unplug the appliance or disconnect power before cleaning or servicing. Failure to do so can result in electrical shock or death.

•Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your appliance unless it is specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.

•This appliance shall not be used for space heating. The surface unit should not be operated without cookware. This information is based on safety considerations.

•All openings in the wall behind the appliance and in the floor under the appliance shall be sealed.

•Keep appliance area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors.

•Do not obstruct the flow of ventilation air.

•Disconnect the electrical supply to the appliance before servicing.

•When removing appliance for cleaning and/or service:

•When installing or removing the range for service, a rolling lift jack should be used. Do not push against any of the edges of the range in an attempt to slide it into or out of the installation. Pushing or pulling a range (rather than using a lift jack) also increases the possibility of bending the leg spindles or the internal coupling connectors.
