GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
•
Use this appliance for its intended purpose as described in this Owner’s Manual.
•
Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualifi ed installer in accordance with the provided
installation instructions.
•
Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your range unless it is specifi cally recommended in this manual. All
other servicing should be referred to a qualifi ed technician.
•
Before performing any service, unplug the range or disconnect the power supply at the household distribution panel
by removing the fuse or switching off the circuit breaker.
•
Do not leave children alone - children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where an appliance is in use.
They should never be allowed to climb, sit or stand on any part of the appliance.
• CAUTION:
Do not store items of interest to children above a range or on the backguard of a range - children
climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously injured.
•
Use only dry potholders - moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let the
potholders touch hot heating areas. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of pot holders.
•
Never use your appliance for warming or heating the room.
•
Do not touch surface elements, areas near the elements or interior surfaces of the oven.
These surfaces may be
hot enough to burn even though they are dark in color. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other
fl ammable materials contact the surface elements, areas nearby the surface units or any interior area of the oven;
allow suffi cient time for cooling fi rst. Other surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to cause burns.
Potentially hot surfaces include the cooktop, areas facing the cooktop, oven vent opening, surfaces near the opening
and crevices around the oven door.
•
Do not heat unopened food containers. Pressure could build up and the container could burst, causing an injury.
•
Do not use aluminum foil to line drip pans or anywhere in the oven, except as described in this manual. Foil can trap
heat or melt, resulting in damage to the product and a shock or fi re hazard.
•
Avoid scratching or impacting glass doors, cook tops or control panels. Doing so may lead to glass breakage. Do not
cook on a product with broken glass. Shock, fi re or cuts may occur.
•
Cook meat and poultry thoroughly - meat to at least an internal temperature of 160°F and poultry to at least an internal
temperature of 180°F. Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against foodborne illness.

wall coverings, curtains, drapes and gasoline or other fl ammable vapors and liquids.

Never wear loose-fi tting or hanging garments while using the appliance. These garments may ignite if they contact
hot surfaces causing severe burns.
