7. Make sure the wall coverings around the range can withstand the heat generated by the range.
8. Before installing the range in an area covered with linoleum or any other synthetic floor
covering, make sure the floor covering can withstand heat at least 90°F/32°C above room
temperature without shrinking, warping or discoloring. Do not install the range over carpeting
unless you place an insulating pad or sheet of 1/4" (6.4 mm) thick plywood between the range
and carpeting.
9. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion air at the oven vent nor around the base or beneath the
lower front panel of the range. Avoid touching the vent openings or nearby surfaces as they may
become hot while the oven is in operation. This range requires fresh air for proper burner
combustion.
10. Never leave children alone or unattended in the area where an appliance is in use. As children
grow, teach them the proper, safe use of all appliances. Never leave the oven door open when
the range is unattended.
11. Stepping, leaning or sitting on the door(s) or drawer of this range can result in serious injuries
and can also cause damage to the range.
12. Do not store items of interest to children in the cabinets above the range. Children could be
seriously burned climbing on the range to reach items.
13. To eliminate the need to reach over the surface units, cabinet storage space above the units
should be avoided.
14. Adjust surface burner flame size so it does not extend beyond the edge of the cooking utensil.
15. Excessive flame is hazardous.
16. •Do not use the oven as a storage space. This creates a potentially hazardous situation.
17. •Never use your range for warming or heating the room. Prolonged use of the range without
adequate ventilation can be dangerous.
18. •Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids near this or any other
appliance. Explosions or fires could result.
19. •In the event of an electrical power outage, the surface burners can be lit manually. To light a
surface burner, hold a lit match to the burner head and slowly turn the Surface Control knob to
Lite. Use caution when lighting surface burners manually.
