• Remove all tape and packaging before using the range. Destroy

the carton and plastic bags after unpacking the range. Never allow
children to play with packaging material.

• Proper Installation—Be sure your appliance is properly

installed and grounded by a qualified technician in accordance
with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70 latest
edition and local electrical code requirements. Install only per
installation instructions provided in the literature package for this

Ask your dealer to recommend a qualified technician and an
authorized repair service. Know how to disconnect the power to the
range at the circuit breaker or fuse box in case of an emergency.

• User servicing—Do not repair or replace any part of the

appliance unless specifically recommended in the manuals. All
other servicing should be done only by a qualified technician. This
may reduce the risk of personal injury and damage to the range.

• Never modify or alter the construction of a range by removing

leveling legs, panels, wire covers, anti-tip brackets/screws, or
any other part of the product.

  Stepping, leaning or sitting on the doors or

drawers of this range can result in serious injuries and also
cause damage to the range. Do not allow children to climb or play
around the range. The weight of a child on an open door may cause
the range to tip, resulting in serious burns or other injury.

 Do not use the oven or warmer drawer (if

equipped) for storage.

 Do not store items of interest to children in the

cabinets above a range or on the backguard of a range. Children
climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously injured.

 Never Use Your Appliance for Warming or

Heating the Room.

• Storage in or on Appliance—Flammable materials should not

be stored in an oven, warmer drawer, near surface units or in
the storage drawer. This includes paper, plastic and cloth items,
such as cookbooks, plasticware and towels, as well as flammable
liquids. Do not store explosives, such as aerosol cans, on or near
the range.

• Do Not Leave Children Alone—Children should not be left

alone or unattended in the area where appliance is in use.
They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the
appliance.

• DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS, AREAS NEAR THESE

UNITS, HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF
THE OVEN. Both surface units and oven heating elements may
be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near surface units
may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do
not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials touch these
areas until they have had sufficient time to cool. Among these
areas are the cook top, surfaces facing the cook top, the oven vent
openings and surfaces near these openings, oven door and
window.

• Wear Proper Apparel—Loose-fitting or hanging garments

should never be worn while using the appliance. Do not let
clothing or other flammable materials contact hot surfaces.

• Do Not Use Water or Flour on Grease Fires—Smother the fire

with a pan lid, or use baking soda, a dry chemical or foam-
type extinguisher.

• When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Fat or grease may

catch fire if allowed to become too hot.

• Use Only Dry Potholders—Moist or damp potholders on hot

surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholders
touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth
instead of a potholder.

• Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers—Buildup of pressure

may cause container to burst and result in injury.

• Remove the oven door from any unused range if it is to be

stored or discarded.

IMPORTANT—Do not attempt to operate the range during a
power failure. If the power fails, always turn off the range. If the
range is not turned off and the power resumes, the range will begin
to operate again. Once the power resumes, reset the clock and
oven function.
