WARNING: To reduce risk of tipping of the
appliance from abnormal usage or by
excessive loading of the oven door, the
appliance must be secured by a properly
installed anti-tip device.
To check if device is properly installed, look un-
derneath range with a flashlight to make sure
one of the rear leveling legs is properly engaged
in the bracket slot. The anti-tip device secures
the rear leveling leg to the floor when properly
engaged. You should check this anytime the

Cooktop: Smother fire or flame in a pan with
a lid or cookie sheet.
NEVER pick up or move a flaming pan.
Oven: Smother fire or flame by closing the
oven door.
Do not use water on grease fires. Use baking
soda, a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher
to smother fire or flame.
WARNING: NEVER use appliance door, or
drawer, if equipped, as a step stool or seat
as this may result in possible tipping of the
appliance, damage to the appliance, and se-
rious injuries.
If appliance is installed near a window, pre-
cautions should be taken to prevent curtains
from blowing over surface elements.
NEVER use appliance to warm or heat the
room. Failure to follow this instruction can lead
to possible burns, injury, fire, or damage to
the appliance.
NEVER wear loose-fitting or hanging gar-
ments while using the appliance. Clothing
could catch utensil handles or ignite and
cause burns if garment comes in contact with
hot heating elements.
To ensure proper operation and to avoid dam-
age to the appliance or possible injury, do not
adjust, service, repair or replace any part of
the appliance unless specifically recom-
mended in this guide. Refer all other servic-
ing to a qualified technician.
NEVER store or use gasoline or other com-
bustible or flammable materials in the oven,
near surface units or in the vicinity of this
appliance as fumes could create a fire haz-
ard or an explosion.
To prevent grease fires, do not let cooking
grease or other flammable materials accu-
mulate in or near the appliance.
Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp
potholders on hot surfaces may result in a
steam burn. Do not let potholders touch hot
heating elements. Do not use a towel or other
bulky cloth which could easily touch hot heat-
ing elements and ignite.
Always turn off all controls when cooking is
completed.
NEVER heat unopened containers on the
surface unit or in the oven. Pressure build-up
in the container may cause container to burst
resulting in burns, injury or damage to the
appliance.
NEVER use aluminum foil to line drip bowls
or cover oven racks or oven bottom. This
could result in risk of electric shock, fire, or
damage to the appliance. Use foil only as
directed in this guide.
Aerosol-type cans are EXPLOSIVE when
exposed to heat and may be highly flam-
mable. Do not use or store near appliance,
This appliance has been tested for safe per-
formance using conventional cookware. Do
not use any devices or accessories that are
not specifically recommended in this manual.
Do not use eyelid covers, stove top grills or
add-on oven convection systems. The use
of devices or accessories that are not ex-
pressly recommended in this manual can
create serious safety hazards, result in per-
formance problems, and reduce the life of
the components of this appliance.
NEVER leave surface units unattended es-
pecially when using high heat. An unattended
boilover could cause smoking and a greasy
spillover can cause a fire.
This appliance is equipped with different size
surface elements. Select pans with flat bot-
toms large enough to cover element. Fitting
pan size to element will improve cooking ef-
ficiency.
If pan is smaller than element, a portion of
the element will be exposed to direct con-
tact and could ignite clothing or potholder.
Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic,
ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed uten-
sils are suitable for cooktop or oven service
without breaking due to the sudden change
in temperature. Follow utensil manufacturer's
instructions when using glass.
Turn pan handle toward center of cooktop,
not out into the room or over another sur-
face element. This reduces the risk of burns,
ignition of flammable materials, or spillage if
pan is accidently bumped or reached by
small children.
