SAFETY INFORMATION

WARNING

 GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

•  Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as 

described in this Owner’s Manual.

• FIRE HAZARD: Never leave the range unattended with 

the cooktop ON above a Lo setting. Keep flammable 
items away from the cooktop. Turn off all controls when 
done cooking. Failure to follow these instructions can 
result in fire, serious injury or death.

•  Be sure your appliance is properly installed and 

grounded by a qualified installer in accordance with the 
provided installation instructions.

•  Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your 

range unless it is specifically recommended in this 
manual. All other servicing should be transferred to a 
qualified 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 pot holders—moist or damp pot holders 

on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do 
not let pot holders touch hot surface units or heating 
elements. 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 the surface units, the heating elements or 

the interior surface 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 flammable materials contact the surface units, 
areas nearby the surface units or any interior area of 
the oven; allow sufficient time for cooling first. 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 any type of foil or liner to cover the oven 

bottom or anywhere in the oven, except as described in 
this manual. Oven liners can trap heat or melt, resulting 
in damage to the product and risk of shock, smoke or 
fire.

•  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, fire or 
cuts may occur.

•  Cook food thoroughly to help protect against 

foodborne illness. Minimum safe food temperature 
recommendations can be found at IsItDoneYet.gov and 
fsis.usda.gov. Use a food thermometer to take food 
temperatures and check several locations.

WARNING

  KEEP FLAMMABLE MATERIALS AWAY FROM THE OVEN 

Failure to do so may result in fire or personal injury.

•   Do not store or use flammable materials in an oven or 

near the cooktop, including paper, plastic, pot holders, 
linens, wall coverings, curtains, drapes and gasoline or 
other flammable vapors and liquids.

•   Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while 

using the appliance. These garments may ignite if they 
contact hot surfaces causing severe burns.

•   Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials 

accumulate in or near the range. Grease in the oven or 
on the cooktop may ignite. 

•   Clean ventilating hoods frequently. Grease should not 

be allowed to accumulate on the hood or filter.
