IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read all instructions before using this appliance.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

•The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the state to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.

•The fiberglass insulation in self-clean ovens gives off a very small amount of carbon monoxide during the cleaning cycle. Exposure can be minimized by venting with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood.

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:

•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.

•Have the installer show you the location of the circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy reference.

•Before performing any service, DISCONNECT THE RANGE POWER SUPPLY AT THE HOUSEHOLD DISTRIBUTION PANEL BY REMOVING THE FUSE OR SWITCHING OFF THE CIRCUIT BREAKER.

WARNING—All ranges can tip and injury could result. To prevent accidental tipping of the

range, attach it to the wall and floor by installing the Anti-Tip device supplied.

To check if the device is installed and engaged properly, remove the storage

drawer and inspect the rear leveling leg. Make sure it fits securely into the slot.

If you pull the range out from the wall for any reason, make sure the device is properly engaged when you push the range back against the wall. If it is not, there is a possible risk of the range tipping over and causing injury if you or a child stand, sit or lean on an open door.

Please refer to the Anti-Tip device information in this guide. Failure to take this precaution could result in tipping of the range and injury.

•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.

•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.

•Teach children not to play with the controls or any other part of the range.

•Never leave the oven door open when you are not watching the range.

•Always keep combustible wall coverings, curtains or drapes a safe distance from your range.

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

•Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while using the appliance. Be careful when reaching for items stored in cabinets over the range. Flammable material could be ignited if brought in contact with hot surface units or 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 hot surface units or heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth. Such cloths can catch fire on a hot surface unit or heating element.

•Always keep dish towels, dish cloths, pot holders and other linens a safe distance from your range.

•Always keep wooden and plastic utensils and canned food a safe distance away from your range.
