Important Safety Instructions

• Stepping,leaningorsittingonthedoor

or drawer of this appliance can result

in serious injuries and may also cause

damage to the appliance. Donotallow

children to climb or play around the appliance.

The weight of a child on an open door may

cause the appliance to tip, resulting in serious

burnsorotherinjury.Anopendrawer,when

hot, may cause burns.

• Donotusetheovenorwarmerdrawer(if

equipped) for storage.

• NEVER use this appliance as a space

heater to heat or warm the room. Doingso

may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and

overheating of the oven.

Do not store items of interest to children in

the cabinets above the appliance. Children

climbing on the range to reach items could be

seriouslyinjured.

Electronic controllers can be damaged by cold

temperatures. When you use your appliance

forthersttime,orifithasnotbeenusedfora

long period of time, make sure that it has been

exposed to a temperature above 0°C/32°F for at

least 3 hours before connecting it to the power

supply.

• Useproperamesize—Adjustamesize

so it does not extend beyond the edge of the

utensil.Theuseofundersizedutensilswill

exposeaportionoftheburnerametodirect

contact and may result in ignition of clothing.

Properrelationshipofutensiltoamewillalso

improveefciency.

• Donotusestovetopgrillsontheburner

grates of sealed gas burners. If you use a

stove top grill on a sealed gas burner, it will

cause incomplete combustion and can result

in exposure to carbon monoxide levels above

allowable current standards. This can be

hazardoustoyourhealth.

IMPORTANTINSTRUCTIONS

FORUSINGYOURCOOKTOP

• Knowwhichknobcontrolseachsurface

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, then slowly turn

the Surface Control knob to . Use caution when
