Important Safety Instructions
1.PROPER INSTALLATION—BE SURE YOUR APPLIANCE IS PROPERLY INSTALLED AND GROUNDED BY A QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN.
2.NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in Carbon Monoxide poisoning and in overheating of the oven.
3.Do not leave children alone. Children should not be left alone or unattended in area where appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.
4.Wear proper apparel—loose-fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while using the appliance.
5.User servicing—do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recommended in the manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.
6.Storage in or on appliance—flammable materials should not be stored in an oven, near surface units or in range cabinet.
7.Do not use water on grease fires—smother fire or flame or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
8.Use only dry potholders—moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.
9.NEVER cover any slots, holes and passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire rack with materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the oven and may cause Carbon Monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat, causing a fire hazard.
10.It is a good practice to install CO detectors when any gas appliance or furnace is present in the home. Please follow manufacturer’s recommendations for location and installation of CO detectors.
Exhaust Hood Safety
Caution: Do not store items of interest to children in cabinet above the range or on top of range cabinet. Children climbing on range to reach items could be seriously injured.
1.Clean exhaust hood frequently—grease should not be allowed to accumulate on hood or filter.
2.When flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan off. The fan if operating may spread the flame.
Oven Safety
Do not touch heating elements or interior surfaces of oven—heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in colour. Interior surfaces of an oven become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch or let clothing or other flammable materials to contact heating elements or interior surfaces of oven until they have had suffi- cient time to cool. Other surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to cause burns—among these surfaces are, for example, oven vent openings and surfaces near these openings, oven doors.
1.Use care when opening door—let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing food.
2.Do not heat unopened food containers—buildup of pressure may cause container to burst and result in injury.
3.Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed.
4.Placement of oven racks—always place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not let potholder contact hot heating element in oven.
