Important Safety Instructions
Ask your dealer to recommend a qualified technician
and an authorized repair service. Know how to
disconnect the electrical 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 to reduce the risk of personal injury
and damage to the appliance.
• 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 door
or warmer oven/drawer of this appliance
can result in serious injuries and may also
cause damage to the appliance. Do not allow
children to climb or play around the appliance.
The weight of a child on an open door may
cause the appliance to tip, resulting in serious
burns or other injury. An open warmer oven/
drawer, when hot, may cause burns.
• Do not use the oven or warmer oven/drawer
(if equipped) for storage.
• NEVER use this appliance as a space
heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so
may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and
overheating of the oven.
• Storage in or on Appliance—Flammable
materials should not be stored in an oven,
near surface units or in the warmer oven/
drawer (if equipped). 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 appliance. Flammable
materials may explode and result in fire or
property damage.
Do not store items of interest to children in
the cabinets above the appliance. Children
climbing on the range to reach items could be
seriously injured.
• Do not leave children alone. Children should
not be left alone or unattended in the area
where an appliance is in use. They should
never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of
the appliance.
Save these instructions for future reference.
• DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE BURNERS,
AREAS NEAR THESE BURNERS, OVEN
HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR
SURFACES OF THE OVEN OR WARMER
OVEN (if equipped). Both surface burners and
oven heating elements may be hot even though
surface burner flames are not visible or oven
elements are dark in color. Areas near surface
burners 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 cooktop,
surfaces facing the cooktop, the oven vent
openings and surfaces near these openings,
oven door and window.
• Never use your appliance for warming or
heating the room.
• In case of fire or gas leak, be sure to turn off
the main gas shutoff valve.
• 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 the potholders
touch hot heating surface units or interior oven
elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky
cloth instead of a potholder.
• Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers—
Build up of pressure may cause the
container to burst and result in injury.
• Remove the oven door from any unused
appliance if it is to be stored or discarded.
• IMPORTANT—Do not attempt to operate the
oven during a power failure. If the power
fails, always turn the oven off. If the oven
is not turned off and the power resumes, the
oven may begin to operate again. Food left
unattended could catch fire or spoil.
