Important Safety Instructions
A 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 must be properly con­
nected to electrical supply and
grounded.
•WARNING: To reduce the risk
of tipping of the appliance, the
appliance must be secured by
a properly installed anti-tip
bracket. To check if the bracket
is installed properly, see “The
anti-tip bracket” on page 20.
•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
properly.
•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 surface units, heat­
ing elements or interior sur­
faces or oven. Surface units
and heating elements may 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 cloth­
ing or other flammable materi­
als 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 may become hot enough
to cause burns; such as, the
oven vent opening, the surface
near the vent opening, the
cooktop, and the oven door.
•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.
