Important Safety Information
This manual is intended for factory-service technicians only. We recommend that customers DO NOT
service their own units, because of the complexity and risk of high-voltage electrical shock.
The following information is used throughout this manual, and should be read carefully.
Information that will help you avoid actions that
could cause product damage (scratches, dents,
etc.) and damage to personal property.
NOTE
Helpful information that explains a more compli-
cated step, prior to carrying it out .
CAUTION
WARNING
Information that alerts you to potentially danger-
ous conditions. These conditions can cause
serious personal injury (burns, fire and electrical
shock, etc.) if the suggested procedures are not
observed.
WARNING
Fire Hazard
Do not obstruct the flow of ventilation air.
Electrical Shock Hazard
It is the customer’s responsibility to:
• Contact a qualified electrical installer.
• Assure that electrical installation is adequate
and in conformance with the National Elec-
trical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70—latest edition*,
and all local codes and ordinances.
Failure to do so could result in fire, electrical
shock, or other personal injury.
Take special care when drilling holes into the
wall for venting or electrical wiring. Electrical
wires may be concealed behind the wall cover-
ing.
Failure to do so could result in fire, electrical
shock, or other personal injury.

Sabbath Mode
•Allows the consumer to meet the “No Work”requirements
of the Jewish Sabbath. This means that:
–The range will operate nonstop as long as power is applied to
the range bypassing the 12-hour shutdown default.
–The range will resume cooking if there is a power failure while in
this mode of operation (convection models will resume the “Fa-
vorite Cycle”).
•No tones will sound when in this mode.
•Touchpad responses are delayed by 1-second to prevent
accidentally turning the range off.
