IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Do not line oven walls or bottom with aluminum foil or allow them to contact exposed heating elements
in the oven. Doing so could create a fire hazard or cause damage to the range.
• During oven operation, the upper surface of the drawer cavity becomes hot and may cause burns. Never
allow children to remain unsupervised near the oven or cooktop.
• Do not put your hand inside the drawer during the oven operation.
Maintenance
• Large scratches or impacts to glass doors can lead to broken or shattered glass.
• Items of interest to children should not be placed in cabinets above the range or on the backsplash of
the range.
- Children climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously injured.
• Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your range unless it is specifically mentioned in this
manual. All other services should be referred to a qualified technician.
Grounding Instructions
• Plug your range into a 120-volt grounded outlet only. Do not remove the round grounding prong from
the plug. If in doubt about the grounding of the home electrical system, it is your personal responsibility
and obligation to have an ungrounded outlet replaced with a properly grounded, three-prong outlet in
accordance with the National Electrical Code. Do not use an extension cord with this range.
Risk of Fire and Flammable Materials
• Never wear loose fitting or hanging garments while using the appliance. Be careful when reaching for
items placed in cabinets over the range. Flammable materials could be ignited if brought in contact with
flame or hot oven surfaces and may cause severe burns.
• Do not place or use combustible materials such as gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the
vicinity of this or any other appliance.
• Do not place flammable materials in the oven or near the cooktop.
• Do not allow cooking grease or other flammable materials in or near the range.
• Do not use water on grease fires. Never touch a flaming pan. Turn the controls off. Smother a flaming
pan on a surface burner by covering the pan completely with a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray.
Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
- A grease fire can be put out by covering it with baking soda or, if available, by using a multi-purpose
dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
- Flame in the oven or the drawer can be smothered completely by closing the oven door or drawer and
turning the control to off or by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
• Leak testing of the appliance must be conducted according to the manufacturer's instructions.
• Gas leaks may occur in the system and result in a serious hazard. Gas leaks may not be detected by smell
alone. Gas suppliers recommend you purchase and install a UL approved gas detector. Install and use in
accordance with the gas detector manufacturer's instructions.
• When using a broiler pan, make sure to place it correctly to minimize the possibility of grease fires.
• Always remove a broiler pan from the range after you finish broiling. Grease left in the pan can catch fire
if the oven is used without removing the grease from the broiler pan.
• If you have a grease fire in a broiler pan, turn off the cooking function being used and keep the oven
door closed to contain the fire until it burns out.
• If meat is too close to the flame while broiling, the fat may ignite. Trim excess fat to prevent excessive
flare-ups.
