 Use this appliance only for its intended purpose 
as described in this Owner’s Manual.

„  Be sure your appliance is properly installed and 

grounded by a qualified installer in accordance 
with the provided installation instructions.

„

  

Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of 
your range unless it is specifically recommended 
in this manual. All other servicing should be 
transferred to a qualified technician.

„

  

 Before performing any service, unplug the range 
or disconnect the power supply at the household 
distribution panel by removing the fuse or 
switching off the circuit breaker.

„

  

Do not leave children alone—children should 
not be left alone or unattended in an area where 
an appliance is in use. They should never be 
allowed to climb, sit or stand on any part of the 
appliance.

„

  

: Do not store items of 

interest to children above a range or on the 
backguard of a range—children climbing on the 
range to reach items could be seriously injured.

„

  

Use only dry pot holders—moist or damp pot 
holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from 
steam. Do not let pot holders touch hot surface 
units or heating elements. Do not use a towel or 
other bulky cloth in place of pot holders.

„

  

Never use your appliance for warming or heating 
the room.

„

 

 Do not touch the surface units, the heating 
elements or the interior surface of the oven. 
These surfaces may be hot enough to burn 
even though they are dark in color. During and 
after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other 
flammable materials contact the surface units, 
areas nearby the surface units or any interior 
area of the oven; allow sufficient time for cooling 
first. Other surfaces of the appliance may 
become hot enough to cause burns. Potentially 
hot surfaces include the cooktop, areas facing 
the cooktop, oven vent opening, surfaces near 
the opening and crevices around the oven door.

„  Do not heat unopened food containers. Pressure 

could build up and the container could burst, 
causing an injury.

„

   

Do not use aluminum foil to line drip pans or 
anywhere in the oven, except as described in 
this manual. Foil can trap heat or melt, resulting 
in damage to the product and a shock or fire 
hazard.

„

  

Avoid scratching or impacting glass doors, cook 
tops or control panels. Doing so may lead to 
glass breakage. Do not cook on a product with 
broken glass. Shock, fire or cuts may occur.

„

 

 Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to 
at least an internal temperature of 160°F and 
poultry to at least an internal temperature of 
180°F. Cooking to these temperatures usually 
protects against foodborne illness.

„

 

 Do not store or use flammable materials in 
an oven or near the cooktop, including paper, 
plastic, pot holders, linens, wall coverings, 
curtains, drapes and gasoline or other flammable 
vapors and liquids.

„  Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while 

using the appliance. These garments may ignite if 
they contact hot surfaces causing severe burns.

„

  

Do not let cooking grease or other flammable 
materials accumulate in or near the range. 
Grease in the oven or on the cooktop may ignite. 

„

  

Clean ventilating hoods frequently. Grease 
should not be allowed to accumulate on the hood 
or filter.
