Read all instructions before using this appliance.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
• The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic
Enforcement Act requires the Governor of
California to publish a list of substances known to
the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn
customers of potential exposure to such substances.
• The fiberglass insulation in self-clean ovens
gives off a very small amount of carbon
monoxide during the cleaning cycle. Exposure
can be minimized by venting with an open
window or using a ventilation fan or hood.
When using electrical appliances, basic safety
precautions should be followed, including the
following:
• Use this appliance only for its intended use
as described in this guide.
• Have the installer show you the location of the
circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy reference.
• Be sure your appliance is properly installed and
grounded by a qualified technician 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 guide. All other servicing
should be referred to a qualified technician.
• Before performing any service, DISCONNECT
THE RANGE 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 sit or stand on any part of the appliance.
• Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang
on the door or cooktop. They could damage
the range and even tip it over, causing severe
personal injury.
• CAUTION: ITEMS OF INTEREST TO
CHILDREN SHOULD NOT BE STORED IN
CABINETS ABOVE A RANGE OR ON THE
BACKSPLASH OF A RANGE—CHILDREN
CLIMBING ON THE RANGE TO REACH

WARNING
—All ranges
can tip and injury could result.
To prevent accidental tipping of
the range from abnormal usage,
attach it to the wall or floor by
installing the Anti-Tip device
supplied. To check if the device is
installed and engaged properly, open
the lower compartment and inspect
the device. Make sure the stability
bracket and stability mounting device are in place.
If you pull the range out from the wall for any
reason, make sure the device is properly engaged
before you push the range back against the wall.
If it is not, there is a possible risk of the range
tipping over and causing injury if you or a child
stand, sit or lean on an open door.
Please refer to the Anti-Tip device information in
this guide. Failure to take this precaution could
result in tipping of the range and injury.
• Teach children not to play with the controls
or any other part of the range.
• Always keep combustible wall coverings,
curtains or drapes a safe distance from
your range.
• Do not store flammable materials in an oven
or near the cooktop.
• Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments
while using the appliance. Be careful when
reaching for items stored over the range.
Flammable material could be ignited if brought
in contact with hot surface units or heating
elements and may cause severe burns.
• 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. Such cloths can catch fire on a hot
surface unit or heating element.
• Always keep dish towels, dish cloths, pot
holders and other linens a safe distance away
from your range.
• Always keep wooden and plastic utensils
and canned food a safe distance away from
your range.
• For your safety, never use your appliance for
warming or heating the room.
