This guide contains important safety symbols and instructions. Please pay special attention to these symbols and follow all instructions
given. Here is a brief explanation of the use of these symbols.
This symbol will help alert you to situations that may
cause serious bodily harm, death or property damage.
• Remove all tape and packaging wrap 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 CSA C22.1, PART 1—latest edition and
local code requirements. Install only per installation
instructions provided in the literature package for this range.
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.
Cold temperatures can damage the electronic
control. When using the appliance for the first time, or when the
appliance has not been used for an extended period of time, be
certain the unit has been in temperatures above 32°F/0°C for at
least 3 hours before turning on the power to the appliance.
• 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 range.
• Never modify or alter the construction of a range by
removing leveling legs, panels, wire covers 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 may
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 for
storage.
• Storage in or on Appliance—Flammable materials should
not be stored in an oven, near surface units, in the storage
drawer (if equipped) or in the warmer 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. Flammable materials
may explode and result in fire or property damage. Do not use the
oven or warmer drawer for storage.
Save these instructions for future reference.
This symbol will help alert you to situations that
may cause bodily injury or property damage.
Do not store items of interest to children in the
cabinets above or on the backguard of a range. 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.
• DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS, AREAS NEAR THESE
UNITS, OVEN HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACES
OF THE OVEN OR WARMER DRAWER. 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 cooktop,
surfaces facing the cooktop, the oven vent openings and surfaces
near these openings, oven door, warmer drawer element 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.
Never use your appliance for warming or
heating the room.
• 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 range 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 will
begin to operate again. Food left unattended could catch fire or
spoil.
