FOR YOUR SAFETY:
• DO NOT TOUCH THE COOKING SURFACE, THE BURNERS, GRATES OR ANY AREAS NEAR THEM. Surface
burners or appliance may be hot even though ames are not visible. Areas near surface burners or
appliance may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing
or other ammable materials touch these areas until they have had sufcient time to cool.
• Do not wear loose-tting or hanging garments while using the appliance. Do not let clothing or other
ammable materials contact hot surfaces.
• Smother grease res with a pan lid, or use baking soda, a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
• Use an extinguisher ONLY if:
1. You know you have a Class A, B, C extinguisher, and you already know how to operate it.
2. The re is small and contained in the area where it is started.
3. The re department is being called.
4. You can ght the re with your back to an exit.
• When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Fat or grease may catch re if allowed to become too hot.
• Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do
not let potholders touch hot heating elements, the ame or burners. Do not use a towel or other bulky
cloth instead of a potholder.
• Do not heat unopened food containers. Buildup of pressure may cause the container to burstand result
in injury.
• Stepping, leaning or sitting on this appliance can result in serious injuries and also cause damage to
the appliance.
• 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.

Rangaire: Product Installation
FOR YOUR SAFETY:
• Clean the appliance regularly to keep all parts free of grease that could catch re. Exhaust fan
ventilation hoods and grease lters should be kept clean. Do not allow grease to accumulate on hood
or lter. Greasy deposits in the fan could catch re. When cooking food turn the hood, fan on. Refer to
hood manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning.
• Utensil handles should be turned inward and not extend over adjacent surface burners. To reduce the
risk of burns, ignition of ammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil,
the handle of the utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over
adjacent surface burners.
• Never leave surface burners unattended at high heat settings. Boil overs cause smoke and greasy
spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.
• Do not use aluminum foil to line any part of the appliance. Use aluminum foil only to cover food during
cooking. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock or re.
• Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are
suitable for appliance service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the
manufacturer’s recommendations for appliance use.
• Do not use decorative surface burner covers. If a burner is accidentally turned on, the decorative cover
will become hot and possibly melt. You will not be able to see that the burner is on. Burns will occur if the
hot covers are touched. Damage may also be done to the range or burners because the covers may
cause overheating. Air will be blocked from the burner and cause combustion problems.
• Use the proper pan sizes. This appliance is equipped with surface units of different sizes. Select utensils
having at bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit. The use of undersized utensils will expose
a portion of the surface heating unit to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper
relationship of utensil to the surface unit will also improve efciency.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF TIPPING OF THE RANGE, THE RANGE MUST BE SECURED BY PROPERLY INSTALLED
ANTI-TIP DEVICES. TO CHECK IF THE DEVICES ARE INSTALLED PROPERLY, SLIDE RANGE FORWARD, LOOK
FOR ANTI-TIP BRACKET SECURELY ATTACHED TO FLOOR OR WALL, AND SLIDE RANGE BACK SO REAR
RANGE FOOT IS UNDER ANTI-TIP BRACKET.
IMPORTANT
