▲ warning
General
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury to
persons, or damage when using the range, follow
basic precautions, including the following:
•Read all instructions before using
the range.
•Install or locate the range only in
accordance with the provided
Installation Instructions. The
range must be installed by a
qualified installer. The range
must be properly connected to
electrical supply and grounded.
•WARNING: To reduce the risk of
tipping the appliance, the appli­
ance must be secured by a
properly installed anti-tip bracket.
To check if the bracket is in­
stalled properly, see “The anti-tip
bracket” on page
18
.
•CAUTION: Do not store things
children might want above the
range. Children could be burned
or injured while climbing on it.
•Do not leave children alone or
unattended in area where the
range is in use. They should
never be allowed to sit or stand
on any part of the range. They
could be burned or injured.
•Do not operate the range if it
is damaged or not working prop­
erly.
• Do not use the range for
warming or heating the room.
Persons could be burned or
injured, or a fire could start.
*Use the range only for its in­
tended use as described in this
manual.
•Do not touch surface units, areas
near units, heating elements, or
interior surfaces of oven. Surface
units and heating elements could
be hot even though they are dark
in color. Areas near surface units
and interior surfaces of an oven
become hot enough to cause
burns. During and after use, do
not touch, or let clothing or other
flammable materials contact
surface units, areas near units,
heating elements, or interior
surfaces of oven until they have
had sufficient time to cool. Other
surfaces of the range, such as
the oven vent opening, the sur­
face near the vent opening, the
cooktop, and the oven door,
could also become hot enough to
cause burns.
•Do not wear loose or hanging
garments when using the range.
They could ignite if they touch a
hot surface unit and you could be
burned.
