LOCATION SAFETY
WARNING To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, personal injuries, and/or death, obey the
following precautions.
•
This range is for indoor, household use only.
Do not install the range in areas exposed to the
weather and/or water.
Do not install the range in a place which is exposed
•
to a strong draft.
•
Select a level, well-constructed floor that can support
the range's weight. Synthetic flooring, such as
linoleum, must withstand 180 °F (82 °C) temperatures
without shrinking, warping, or discoloring. Do
not install the range directly over interior kitchen
carpeting unless a sheet of ¼ inch plywood or a similar
insulator is placed between the range and carpeting.
•
Select a location where a grounded, 3- prong outlet is easily accessible.
If the range is located near a window, do not hang long curtains or paper blinds on that
•
window.
•
For the range to ventilate properly, make sure the range's vents are not blocked, and that there
is enough clearance at the top, back, sides, and underneath the range. The vents allow the
necessary exhaust for the range to operate properly with correct combustion.
Make sure the wall coverings around the range can withstand heat up to 200 °F (93 °C)
•
generated by the range.
•
Cabinet storage above the surface of the range should be avoided. If cabinet storage above
the range is necessary: allow a minimum clearance of 40 inches (102 cm) between the cooking
surface and the bottom of cabinets; or install a range hood that projects horizontally a minimum
of 5 inches (12.7 cm) beyond the bottom of the cabinets.
Locate the range out of kitchen traffic paths and drafty locations to prevent poor air circulation.
•
•
If the range is located near a window, NEVER hang long curtains or paper blinds on that window.
They could blow over the surface burners and ignite, causing a fire hazard.
COOKTOP SAFETY
WARNING To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, personal injuries, and/or death, obey the
following precautions.
Make sure all burners are off when not in use.
•
Do not use aluminium foil to line the grates or any
•
part of the cooktop.
Do not leave burners unattended on medium or high
•
heat settings.
Before igniting, make sure all burner caps are properly
•
in place and all burners are level.
