READ THE IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS AND ALL
INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE.
Remove all tape and packaging wrap before using the oven. If any glue remains, touch
the residue with the sticky side of the tape already removed. Or, use a cloth soaked with
rubbing alcohol. Use caution because rubbing alcohol is flammable. Rinse with warm
water and wipe dry.
Destroy the carton and plastic bags after the range is unpacked. Children should not
use packaging material for play. Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads, or plastic sheets
can become air-tight chambers. Remove all staples from the carton. Staples can cause
severe cuts and destroy finishes if they come in contact with other appliances or furniture.
Be safety conscious. The preparation of food in an oven requires temperatures that could cause
severe burns. Before using this new appliance, carefully read and follow all instructions.
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986
(Proposition 65)
requires the Governor of California to publish a list of
substances known to the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive
harm. In addition, businesses must warn customers of potential exposure to
such substances.
Users of this appliance are hereby warned there may be some low level exposure to some
of the listed substances including formaldehyde and carbon monoxide. This happens when
the oven, if equipped with a self-clean feature, is engaged in a self-clean cycle. Exposure to
these substances can be minimized by properly venting the oven, especially during the self-
cleaning cycle, by opening a window or using a ventilating hood or fan.
Notice: Never keep pet birds in the kitchen. Birds have a very sensitive respiratory system.
Fumes released during the self-cleaning cycle, overheated cooking oil, fat, margarine or
overheated non-stick cookware may be harmful or fatal to birds.
PROPER INSTALLATION: Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded
by a qualified technician in accordance with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA
NO. 70-latest edition and local electrical code requirements. Install only per installation
instructions provided in the literature package for this range. Be sure leveling legs are in place
at the bottom corners of the range. If necessary, raise or lower the leveling legs at the base of
the range by turning clockwise or counterclockwise to insure a level range.
Ask your dealer to recommend a qualified technician and an authorized repair service.
Have the technician label the proper switch or fuse at the electrical disconnect box and
show you how to disconnect the power to the range at the circuit breaker or fuse box in
case of an emergency.
The following situations may cause serious bodily harm, death or
property damage.
