Important Safety Information
READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
NOTICE - BEFORE FIRST TIME USE
Before use of this range for the fi rst time, the
heating elements have a protective coating, which
must be burned off before use. To do this:
• Open the oven door and set the temperature
control knob to 450°F.
• Turn the function selector to the bake
element and the broil element separately for
approximately 15 minutes.
• It is important to ensure adequate ventilation
during this period.
DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR
AREAS NEAR THEM
Heating elements on the surface or in the interior
of the appliance may be hot even though they are
dark in colour. Areas near the heating elements
may become hot enough to cause burns. During
and after use do not touch or let clothing or other
fl ammable materials contact the heating elements
or areas near them until they have had suffi cient
time to cool. Surfaces of the appliance may
become hot enough to cause burns, among them
are the oven vent openings and surfaces near
these openings, oven doors and oven windows.
DANGER - GREASE FIRES
In the event of a fi re, never pick up a fl aming pot
or pan. Turn the burner off if it is safe to do so.
Extinguish the fi re with a dry chemical or foam-
type extinguisher.
Do not use water on grease fi res. Water will
spread the grease and will not extinguish the fi re.
Smother the fi re with a tight fi tting pot lid, cookie
sheet or fl at tray or use dry chemical or foam-type
extinguisher.
If there is a fi re in the oven during baking,
smother the fi re by closing the oven door and
turning the oven off or use dry chemical or foam-
type extinguisher.
