Before you start...
Your safety and the safety of others are
very important.
We have provided many important safety messages in this
manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety
messages.
This is the safety alert symbol.
This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill
or hurt you and others.
All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and
either the word "DANGER" or "WARNING". These words mean:
DANGER
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't
immediately follow instructions.
WARNING
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow
instructions.
All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is,
tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what
can happen if the instructions are not followed.
Important: Observe all governing codes and
ordinances.
Proper installation is your responsibility. Have a qualified
technician install this range.
Range location should be away from strong draft areas,
such as windows, doors and strong heating vents.
Cabinet opening dimensions that are shown must be used.
Given dimensions provide minimum clearance.
Recessed installation area must provide complete enclosure
around the recessed portion of the range.
Electrical ground is required. See "Electrical requirements. "
IMPORTANT: Some cabinet and building materials are not
designed to withstand the heat produced by the oven for
baking and self-cleaning. Check with your builder or cabinet
supplier to make sure that the materials used will not
discolor, delaminate or sustain other damage.
Range support surface MUST be solid, level and flush with
bottom of cabinet cutout.
Do not seal range to side cabinets.
When installing a cooktop under existing cabinets and the
installation does not meet the minimum cabinet clearances,
install a range hood above the cooktop to avoid burn
hazards.
It is the customer's responsibility:
To contact a qualified electrical installer.
To assure that the electrical installation is adequate and in
conformance with National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA
70 — latest edition**, and all local codes and ordinances.
