To avoid personal injury do not sit, stand or lean on oven doors or drawer.
Leaning, sitting or stepping on the doors or drawer of this range can result in serious injuries and also cause damage to the range. Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on any part of the range.
In Case of Fire
Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off. Smother a flaming pan on a cooktop burner by covering the pan completely with a well fitting lid or baking tray. If available use a multipurpose dry chemical or foam- type fire extinguisher.
If fire is in an oven pan, smother by closing oven door. Open doors and windows or, if a hood is installed, turn it on to remove smoke and odor.
To Prevent Fire or Smoke Damage
Before using the range make sure all the packing materials have been removed.
Always keep the area around the range free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids.
If the range is installed near a window, proper precautions should be taken to prevent curtains from blowing over the burners.
NEVER leave any items on the range cooktop. The hot air from an oven vent may ignite flammable items and may increase pressure in closed containers, which may cause them to burst. Many
Many plastics will burn and most are damaged by heat. Keep plastic items away from parts of the range that may become warm or hot. Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop as they may burn, melt or soften if left too close to a vent or a lighted burner.
Storage should not be installed directly above a range. If anything is stored above the range, it should be limited to infrequently used items, which can be safely stored in an area subjected to heat from a range. Temperatures may be unsafe for some items such as volatile liquids, cleaners or aerosol sprays.
Destroy the carton and plastic bags after unpacking the range. Never allow children to play with packaging material.
Never use this appliance as a space heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in overheating of the oven and control knobs.
Never cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire rack with materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks airflow through the oven. Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat causing a fire hazard.
User servicing – Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recommended in this User Manual.
All other servicing should be done only by a qualified technician; this may reduce the risk of personal injury and damage to the range.
Never modify or alter the construction of a range by removing leveling legs, panels, wire covers,
Do Not Leave Children Alone or Unattended!
Babies, toddlers and young children should not be allowed near the range at any time. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.
Do not allow children to climb or play around the range. The weight of a child on an open door may cause the range to tip, resulting in serious burns or other injury.
Teach them not to play with controls or any other part of the range.
Never store items of interest to children in the cabinets above a range or on backguard of a range; children climbing on the range to reach them could be seriously injured.
DO NOT use the oven for storage.
This instruction is based on safety considerations.
Flammable materials should not be stored in an oven, the range storage drawer or near the cooktop burners. This includes paper, plastic and cloth items, such as cookbooks, plasticware and towels, as well as flammable liquids. Do not store explosives, such as aerosol cans, on or near the appliance.
Flammable materials may explode and result in fire or property damage.
