IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

For Your Safety

_ ARNING: For personal safetyremove house fuse or open circuit

breaker before beginning

installation. Failure to do so could result in

serious injury or even death.

All rough-in and spacing dimensions must be met
for safe use of your range. Electricity to the range
can be disconnected at the outlet without moving
the range if the outlet is in the preferred location

(remove lower drawer).

To reduce the risk of burns or fire when reaching
over hot surface elements, cabinet storage space
above the cooktop should be avoided. If cabinet
storage space is to be provided above the
cooktop, the risk can be reduced by installing a

range hood that sticks out at least 5" beyond the

front of the cabinets. Cabinets installed above a

cooktop must be no deeper than 13".
Be sure your appliance is properly installed and

grounded by a qualified technician.

Make sure the cabinets and watt coverings around

the range can withstand the temperatures (up to
200°R) generated by the range.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of

tipping, the appliance must be

secured by properly installed anti-tip

bracket packed with the appliance.

All ranges can tip

Injury to persons could result
Install anti-tip bracket

packed with range

• See Installation Instructions

If you pull the range out and away from the wall

for any reason, make sure the Anti-Tip bracket

is engaged when the range is pushed back

against the wall.
