including the following:
� Proper Installation - The appliance, when installed, must be
electrically grounded in accordance with local codes, or in
the absence of local codes, with the
National Electrical

electrically grounded in accordance with Canadian
Electrical Code. Be sure your appliance is properly installed
and grounded by a qualified technician.

� This appliance is not intended for storage.
� Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires – Smother fire or flame
or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
� Do not use replacement parts that have not been
recommended by the manufacturer (e.g. parts made at

� Use Only Dry Potholders – Moist or damp potholders on hot
surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let
potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or
other bulky cloth.
� Use Care When Opening Door – Let hot air or steam
escape before removing or replacing food.
� DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR
SURFACES OF OVEN – Heating elements may be hot
even though they are dark in color. 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 heating elements or interior surfaces of
oven until they have had sufficient time to cool. Other
surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to cause
burns – among these surfaces are the coil and cooktop
elements, oven vent openings and surfaces near these
openings, oven doors, and windows of oven doors.
� Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers – Build-up of
pressure may cause container to burst and result in injury.
� Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed.
� Placement of Oven Racks – Always place oven racks in
desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved
while oven is hot, do not let potholder contact hot heating
element in oven.
For self-cleaning ovens:
� Do Not Clean Door Gasket – The door gasket is essential
for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage,
or move the gasket.
� Do not use a protective coating to line the oven and do not
use commercial oven cleaner unless Certified for use in a
self-cleaning oven.
� Clean Only Parts Listed.
� Before Self-Cleaning the Oven – Remove broiler pan and
other utensils, and wipe off all excessive spillage.
For smart enabled ranges and ovens:
� Remote Operation – This appliance is configurable to allow
remote operation at any time. Do not store any flammable
materials or temperature sensitive items inside, on top or
near surface units of the appliance.
