IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS!
Read all the instructions before using the appliance. Use the appliance only for its
z
intended purpose as described in these instructions.
Proper installation – Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a
z
qualified technician. A risk of tip-over exists when the appliance is not installed in
accordance with the installation instructions.
Do not operate the appliance if it is damaged or not working properly. If you received a
z
damaged product, contact your dealer or installer immediately.
Be sure to have the installer show you where and how to turn off the power supply to
z
the range (i.e. location of the main fuse or circuit breaker panel) and where and how to
turn off the gas supply to the range in an emergency.
Do not leave children alone – Children should not be left alone or unattended in the
z
area where the appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to play with the
appliance or to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.
Caution – for safety reasons, do not store items of interest to children in cabinets above
z
a range or at the back of the range – children climbing on the range to reach items
could be seriously injured.
Wear proper apparel – Loose-fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while
z
using the appliance.
User servicing – Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically
z
recommended in the manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified
technician. Technicians must disconnect the appliance from the power supply
before any servicing.
Storage in or on appliance – Flammable materials should not be stored in an oven or
z
near the cooktop.
Use care when opening the oven door – Let hot air or steam escape before removing or
z
replacing food.
Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed.
z
Keep rugs and mats well clear of the base of the range.
z
Placement of oven shelves – Always position shelves in the desired location while
z
the oven is cool (before preheating). If a shelf must be removed while the oven is
hot, do not let oven mitts or potholder contact the base of the oven or hot heating
elements in the oven.
Do not clean the oven gasket or use any oven-cleaning products on it. It is essential for
z
a good seal, which ensures that the oven operates efficiently. Care should be taken not
to rub, damage or move it.
Do not use oven cleaners, harsh/abrasive cleaning agents, waxes, or polishes in a self-
z
cleaning oven. No commercial oven cleaner, oven liner, or protective coating of any kind
should be used in or around any part of a self-cleaning oven.
Do not use harsh/abrasive cleaners, scourers or sharp metal scrapers to clean the oven
z
door glass since they scratch the surface, which may result in the glass shattering.
Do not sit or stand on the oven door or place any heavy objects on it – doing so may
z
result in personal injury.
Be careful when reaching for items stored in cabinets above the appliance.
