IMPORTANTSAFETYINSTRUCTIONS
Your safety is important to us.
This guide contains safety symbols and
statements. Please pay special attention to
these symbols and follow any instructions
given. Here is a brief explanation of the use
of the symbol.
General
This symbol alerts you to
hazards such as fire,
electrical shock, or
other injuries.
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical
shock, injury to persons, or damage
when using the range, follow basic
precautions, including the following:
• Read all instructions before using
the range.
• Install or locate the range only
in accordance with the provided
Installation Instructions. The
range must be installed by a
qualified installer. The range must
be properly connected to electri-
cal supply and grounded.
•WARNING: To reduce the risk
of tipping the appliance, the
appliance must be secured by a
properly installed anti-tip bracket.
To check if the bracket is installed
properly, see "The anti-tip bracket"
on page 10.
• CAUTION: Do not siore things
children might want above the
range. Children could be burned
or injured while climbing on it.
• Do not leave children alone or
unattended in area where the
range is in use. They should
never be allowed to sit or stand
on any part of the range. They
could be burned or injured.
•Do not use the range for warming
or heating the room. Persons could
be burned or injured, or a fire could
start.
• Use the range only for its intended
use as described in this manual.
• Do not touch surface units, areas
near units, heating elements, or
interior surfaces of oven. Surface
units and heating elements may
be hot even though they are dark
in color. Areas near surface units
and interior surfaces of an oven be-
come hot enough to cause burns.
During and after use, do not touch,
or let clothing or other flammable
materials contact surface units,
areas near units, heating elements,
or interior surfaces of oven until
they have had sufficient time to
cool. Other surfaces of the range,
such as the oven vent opening, the
surface near the vent opening, the
cooktop, and the oven door and
window, could also become hot
enough to cause burns.

nge Safety
*Do not operate the range if it is
damaged or not working properly.
oDo not wear loose or hanging
garments when using the range.
They could ignite if they touch a
hot surface unit and you could
be burned.
*Use only dry pot holders. Moist or
damp pot holders on hot surfaces
could result in burns from steam.
Do not let pot holder touch hot
heating elements. Do not use a
towel or bulky cloth for a pot
holder. It could catch on fire.
*Keep range vents unobstructed.
*Do not heat unopened containers.
They could explode. The hot
contents could cause burns and
container particles could cause
injury.
.Use only cookware approved for
oven use. Follow cookware manu-
facturer's instructions, especially
when using glass or plastic
cookware.
.Do not store flammable materials
on or near the range. The fumes
could create an explosion and/or
fire hazard.
*Do not repair or replace any part
of the range unless specifically
recommended in this manual. All
other servicing should be referred
to a qualified technician.
oDisconnect the electrical supply
before servicing the range.
When using the cooktop
.Do not cook on a broken ceramic
glass cooktop. If cooktop should
break, cleaning solutions and
spillovers could penetrate the
broken cooktop and create a risk
of electrical shock. Contact a
qualified technician immediately.
*Select a pan with a flat bottom
that is about the same size as the
surface unit. If pan is smaller than
the surface unit, some of the
heating element will be exposed
and could result in the igniting of
clothing or pot holders. Correct
pan size also improves cooking
efficiency.
*Check to be sure glass cookware
is safe for use on the range. Only
certain types of glass, glass-
ceramic, ceramic, earthenware,
or other glazed cookware are
suitable for cooktops without
breaking due to the sudden
change in temperature.
*Never leave surface units un-
attended at high heat settings.
A boilover could result and cause
smoking and greasy spillovers
that could ignite.
oTurn pan handles inward, but not
over other surface units. This will
help reduce the chance of burns,
igniting of flammable materials,
and spills due to bumping of
the pan.

_ange Safety
*Grease is flammable. Do not
allow grease to collect around
cooktop or in vents. Wipe spill-
overs immediately.
*Do not use water on grease fires.
Never pick up a flaming pan.
Smother flaming pan on range
by covering with a well-fitting lid,
cookie sheet, or flat tray. Flaming
grease outside of pan can be
extinguished with baking soda
or, if available, a multipurpose
dry chemical or foam-type
extinguisher.
*Clean ceramic glass cooktop
with care. Some cleaners could
produce noxious fumes if applied
to a hot surface. If a wet paper
towel is used to wipe spills on a
hot cooking area, be careful to
avoid steam burns.
When using the oven
•Always position oven rack(s) in
desired location while oven is
cool. If a rack must be removed
while oven is hot, do not let pot
holder contact hot heating ele-
ments in oven.
• Use care when opening oven door.
Let hot air or steam escape before
removing or replacing food.
*Small amounts of formaldehyde
and carbon monoxide are given
off in the Self-Cleaning cycle from
fiberglass insulation and food
decomposition. Significant expo-
sure to these substances could
cause cancer or reproductive
harm. Exposure can be minimized
by venting with a hood or open
window and wiping out excess
food spills prior to self-cleaning.
• Do not use oven cleaners. No
commercial oven cleaner or oven
liner protective coating of any kind
should be used in or around any
part of the oven.
*Before self-cleaning the oven,
remove broiler pan, broiler grid,
oven racks, and other cookware.
Do not use your oven to clean
miscellaneous parts unless you
are instructed to do so in this Use
and Care Guide.
• Do not clean door gasket. It is
essential for a good seal. Care
should be taken not to rub, dam-
age, or move the gasket. Clean
only parts recommended in this
Use and Care Guide.
