IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury to persons, or damage when using the
appliance, follow the important safety instructions listed below:
Electrical Shock Hazard
Before removing a faulty oven light bulb, make sure you turn the power to
the range off at the main fuse or circuit breaker panel. If you don't know how
to do this, contact an electrician.
Do not remove the kickstrip grate. Due to access to live electrical parts
behind it, the kickstrip grate should only be removed by a qualified
technician.
This appliance is equipped with a three-prong or four-prong grounding
plug for your protection against shock hazard and should be plugged
directly into a properly grounded power outlet. Do not under any
circumstances cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug.
Failure to follow this advice may result in death or electrical shock.
Tipping Hazard
To reduce the risk of the appliance tipping, it must be secured by a
properly installed anti-tip bracket. To check if the bracket is installed
properly, shine a flashlight from the front right bottom corner of the
appliance towards the back wall and verify that the bracket is engaged. If it
is not engaged, the installer or service technician has not done a proper job.
Do not use the appliance until it has been secured.
Failure to follow this advice may result in serious injury.
Fire Hazard
Never use your appliance for warming or heating the room. Persons could
be injured or a fire could start.
Keep the area around the appliance free from combustible materials (e.g.
wall coverings, curtains, drapes), gasoline and other flammable vapors
and liquids.
Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate in, or, or
near the appliance.
Do not hang any articles (e.g. dish towels) off the oven handle. Some
fabrics may ignite or melt from the heat.
Never leave the cooktop burners unattended when in use –
Boilover causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.
Be sure all the controls are turned off and the appliance is cool before
using any type of aerosol cleaner on or around the appliance. Chemicals in
such cleaners could, in the presence of heat, ignite or cause metal parts to
corrode.
Failure to follow this advice may result in death or serious injury.
