IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT

Read and follow the below instructions and precau- tions for unpacking, installing, and servicing your appliance:

•Remove all tape and packaging before using the appliance. Destroy the carton and plastic bags after unpacking the appliance. Never allow children to play with packaging material. Do not remove the wiring label and other literature attached to the range. Do not remove model/ serial number plate.

•Proper Installation—Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician in accordance with the National Elec- trical Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70 latest edition and local electrical code requirements. In Canada, install in accordance with CSA Standard C22.1, Canadian Electrical code, Part 1-latest edition, and local electrical code requirements. Install only per installation instructions provided in the literature package for this range.

•User Servicing—Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recom- mended in the manuals. All other servicing should be done only by a qualified technician. This reduces the risk of personal injury and damage to the oven.

•Ask your dealer to recommend a qualified techni- cian and an authorized repair service. Know how to disconnect the power to the appliance at the circuit breaker or fuse box in case of an emer- gency.

•Never modify or alter the construction of an oven by removing the leveling legs, panels, wire covers, anti-tip brackets/screws, or any other part of the oven.

•Remove the oven door from any unused oven if it is to be stored or discarded.

•Be sure to have an appropriate foam-type fire extinguisher available, visible, and easily acces- sible located near the appliance.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR COOKTOP

•Know which knob or key controls each surface heating area. Place cookware with food on the cooking area before turning it on. Turn the cooking area off before removing the cookware.

•Use proper pan size. This appliance is equipped with one or more surface units of different sizes. Select cookware with flat bottoms that match the surface unit heating element. The use of under- sized cookware may expose a portion of the heating element to direct contact and may result in the ignition of clothing or other items. Using the proper cookware on the cooking zone will improve efficiency.

•To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spills due to unintentional contact with the utensil, the utensil handles should be turned inward and not extend over other cooking areas.

•Never leave surface elements unattended. Boil- overs may cause smoking and greasy spills may ignite. A pan that has boiled dry could be damaged and may damage the cooktop.

•Improper cookware may break due to sudden changes in temperature. Check the cookware manufacturer’s recommendations for cooktop use.

•When you are flaming foods under a ventilating hood, turn on the fan.

•Glazed Cooking Utensils—Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer’s recom- mendations for cooktop use.

•Do Not Use Decorative Surface Burner Covers. If an element is accidentally turned on, the decora- tive cover will become hot and possibly melt.

Burns will occur if the hot covers are touched. Damage may also be done to the cooktop.

•Do not use Searing grill on the cooktop. The Searing grill is not designed for use on the cooktop. Doing so may result in a fire.
