When properly cared for, your new range has been designed
to be a safe, reliable appliance. Read all instructions
carefully before using this range. These precautions will
reduce the risk of burns, electric shock, fire, and injury
to yourself and others. When using kitchen appliances,
basic safety precautions must be followed, including the
following:
This appliance must be properly installed and grounded by
a qualified technician. Connect only to properly grounded
outlet. See “Grounding Instructions” found in the Installation
Instructions.
• This appliance should be serviced only by a qualified service
technician. Contact the nearest authorized service center for
examination, repair or adjustment.
• Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless
specifically recommended. Refer service to an authorized
servicer.
• Do not operate this appliance if it is not working properly
or if it has been damaged, until an authorized servicer has
examined it.
• Install or locate this appliance only in accordance with the
Installation Instructions.
• Use this range only as intended by the manufacturer. If you
have any questions, contact the manufacturer.
• Do not cover or block any openings on this appliance.
• Use this appliance only for its intended use as described
in this manual. Do not use corrosive chemicals, vapors, or
nonfood products in this appliance. This type of oven is
specifically designed to heat or cook. It is not designed for
industrial or laboratory use. The use of corrosive chemicals
in heating or cleaning will damage the appliance.
• In the event that personal clothing or hair catches fire, DROP
AND ROLL IMMEDIATELY to extinguish flames.
WARNING
• BE CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. If the flames do not
go out immediately, EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE
DEPARTMENT.
• Do not use water, including wet dishcloths or towels on
grease fires. A violent steam explosion may result.
• NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN. You may be burned.
• ALWAYS have a working SMOKE DETECTOR near the
kitchen.
• LEAVE THE HOOD VENTILATOR ON when flambéing
food.
To reduce the risk of burn injuries during cooktop
use, observe the following:
• NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to heat or warm
the room.
• Children or pets should not be left alone or unattended in an
area where appliances are in use.
• They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of
the appliance.
• Do not store flammable materials on or near the cooktop.
• Use only dry potholders; moist or damp potholders on hot
surfaces may cause burns from steam.
• Never leave the cooktop unattended when in use.
• Boilovers cause smoking, and greasy spillovers may ignite.
A spill on a burner can smother all or part of the flame or
hinder spark ignition. If a boilover occurs, turn off burner
and check operation. If burner is operating normally, turn it
back on.
• During cooking, set the burner control so that the flame heats
only the bottom of the pan and does not extend beyond the
bottom of the pan.
• Take care that drafts like those from fans or forced air vents
do not blow flammable material toward the flames or push
the flames so that they extend beyond the edges of the pan.
• Always position handles of utensils inward so they do not
extend over adjacent work areas, burners, or the edge of
the cooktop.
• Wear proper apparel. Loose fitting garments or hanging
sleeves should never be worn while cooking.
• Never let clothing, potholders, or other flammable materials
come in contact with hot burners or hot burner grates.
• Use only certain types of glass, heatproof glass ceramic,
ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils that are
suitable for cooktop use.
• Do not clean the cooktop while it is still hot. Some cleaners
produce noxious fumes when applied to a hot surface.
