Have your appliance properly installed and grounded by

a qualified technician in accordance with the National

Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70 – latest edition, and

local code requirements. In Canada, electrical grounding

must be in accordance with the current CSA C22.1

Canadian Electrical Code Part 1 and/or local codes.
Install only as described in the installation section of this

book.
Ask your dealer to recommend a qualified technician and

an authorized repair service. Know how to disconnect the

power to the range at the circuit breaker or fuse box in

case of an emergency.
The anti-tip device supplied with this range must be

installed when the appliance is installed. This will reduce

risk of tipping of the appliance from abnormal usage or

by excessive loading of the oven door or storage drawer.
To avoid personal injury do not sit, stand or lean on oven

doors or drawer.
Leaning, sitting or stepping on the doors or drawer of this

range can result in serious injuries and also cause damage

to the range. Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang

on any part of the range.

In Case of Fire

Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a

flaming pan. Turn the controls off. Smother a flaming

pan on a cooktop burner by covering the pan

completely with a well fitting lid or baking tray. If

available use a multipurpose dry chemical or foam-

type fire extinguisher.

If fire is in an oven pan, smother by closing oven door. Open

doors and windows or if a hood is installed turn it on to

remove smoke and odor.

To Prevent Fire or Smoke Damage

Before using the range make sure all the packing materials

have been removed.
Always keep the area around the range free from combustible

materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids.
If the range is installed near a window, proper precautions

should be taken to prevent curtains from blowing over the

burners.

NEVER leave any items on the range cooktop. The

hot air from an oven vent may ignite flammable

items and may increase pressure in closed

containers, which may cause them to burst. Many

aerosol-type spray cans are EXPLOSIVE when

exposed to heat and may be highly flammable.

Avoid their use or storage near an appliance.

Many plastics will burn and most are damaged by heat. Keep

plastic items away from parts of the range that may become

warm or hot. Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop as

1. Important Safety Information

they may burn, melt or soften if left too close to a vent or a

lighted burner.
Storage should not be installed directly above a range. If

anything is stored above the range, it should be limited to

infrequently used items, which can be safely stored in an area

subjected to heat from a range. Temperatures may be unsafe

for some items such as volatile liquids, cleaners or aerosol

sprays.
Destroy the carton and plastic bags after unpacking the

range. Never allow children to play with packaging material.
Never use this appliance as a space heater to heat or warm

the room. Doing so may result in overheating of the oven and

control knobs.
Never cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven bottom

or cover an entire rack with materials such as aluminum foil.

Doing so blocks air flow through the oven. Aluminum foil

linings may also trap heat causing a fire hazard.
User servicing–Do not repair or replace any part of the

appliance unless specifically recommended in this User

Manual.
All other servicing should be done only by a qualified

technician, this may 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, anti-tip brackets/

screws, or any other part of the product.

Do Not Leave Children Alone.

Babies, toddlers and young children should not be allowed

near the range at any time. They should never be allowed to

sit or stand on any part of the appliance.
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.
Teach them not to play with controls or any other part of the

range.
Never store items of interest to children in the cabinets above

a range or on backguard of a range; children climbing on the

range to reach them could be seriously injured.

Do not use the oven for storage.

This instruction is based on safety considerations.
Flammable materials should not be stored in an oven, the

range storage drawer or near the cooktop burners. 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.
