ANTI-TIP DEVICE
WARNING
WARNING - To reduce the risk of tipping the range, the range must be
secured by a properly installed Anti-Tip device. AFTER THE RANGE
HAS BEEN INSTALLED, CONFIRM THAT THE ANTI-TIP DEVICE
HAS BEEN PROPERLY INSTALLED AND VERIFY THAT THE ANTI-
TIP DEVICE IS PROPERLY ENGAGED. Refer to the installation manual
for instructions.
a) If the anti-tip device is not installed, a child or adult can tip the range
and be killed.
b) Verify the anti-tip device has been properly installed and engaged at
rear right (or rear left) of the range bottom.
c)
If you move the range and then move it back into place, ensure the
anti-tip device is re-engaged at the right or left rear of the range bottom.
d) Do not operate the range without the anti-tip device in place and
engaged.
e) Failure to do so can result in death or serious burns to children or adults.
WARNING WARNING
Do not step, lean, or sit on the doors of the range. You can cause
the range to tip, resulting in burns or serious injuries.
Confirm that the Anti-Tip device is installed properly. Then, to verify that
the Anti-Tip device is engaged, grasp the top rear edge of the range and
carefully attempt to tilt it forward. The Anti-Tip device should prevent the
range from tilting forward more than a few inches.
If you pull the range out from the wall for any reason, make sure the anti-
tip 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.

3_ important safety instructions
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.
Always disconnect the power to the appliance before servicing by
removing the fuse or switching o the circuit breaker.
Do not enter the oven.
Do not store items of interest to children in cabinets above a
range or on the back guard of a range. Children climbing on the range
to reach items could be seriously injured.
Do not leave children alone. Never leave children alone or unattended
in an area where this appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to
sit or stand on any part of the appliance.
Never use your appliance for warming or heating the room.
Do not use water on grease fires. Turn o the oven to avoid spreading
the flame. Smother the fire or flame by closing the door or use a dry
chemical, baking soda, or foam-type extinguisher.
The inner portion of the split oven rack (if equipped) could drop down
accidentally if not assembled properly. Place the inner rack in the proper
position within the outer rack.
Storage in or on appliance. Do not store flammable materials in the
oven or near the surface units. Be sure all packing materials are removed
from the appliance before operating it. Keep plastics, clothes, and paper
away from parts of the appliance that may become hot.
Wear proper apparel. Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments
while using the appliance.
Use only dry potholders. Placing moist or damp potholders on hot
surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let the potholder touch
hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.
Teach children not to play with the controls or any other part of the range.
For your safety, do not use high-pressure water cleaners or steam jet cleaners.
If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer,
its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

INDUCTION COOKTOP ELEMENTS
Be sure you know which touch control operates each surface
heating unit. Place a pan of food on the unit before turning it on, and
turn the unit o before removing the pan.
Use proper pan sizes - This appliance is equipped with surface units of
dierent sizes. Select pots and pans that have flat bottoms large enough
to cover the surface area of the heating element. Using undersized
cookware will expose a portion of the heating element to direct contact
and may result in the ignition of clothing. Matching the size of the pot or
pan to the burner will also improve eciency.
Cookware Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extend Over
Adjacent Surface Elements - To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of
flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the
cookware, cookware handles should be positioned so that they are
turned inward, and do not extend over adjacent surface units.
Glazed Cookware - Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic,
earthenware, or other glazed cookware are suitable for range-top service
without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.
Never Leave Surface Elements Unattended at High Heat Settings -
Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite, or a pan
that has boiled dry may melt.
Metallic objects such as knives, forks, spoons and lids should not be
placed on the Induction Cooktop surface since they can get hot.
When preparing flaming foods under a ventilating hood, turn the
fan on.
Use care when touching the cooktop. The glass surface of the
cooktop will retain heat after the controls have been turned o.
Always turn the surface units o before removing cookware.
Keep an eye on foods being fried at high or medium high heat settings.
Be careful when placing spoons or other stirring utensils on the glass cooktop
surface when it is in use. They may become hot and could cause burns.
Do not lift the cooktop. Lifting the cooktop can lead to damage and
improper operation of the range.
Never use the glass cooktop surface as a cutting board.
Do not operate the cooktop when there is no cookware.
