IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

For Your Safety

WARNING: For personal

safety, remove house fuse or open

installation. Failure to do so could result
in serious injury or even death.

the Anti-Tip bracket packed with the
appliance.

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.

All ranges can tip

Injury to persons could result

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.

Refer to alternate construction section

for the following non-standard

installations.

same plane) around the 3 sides
that are adjacent to range cooktop.

Proper adjustments to make the

between the countertop and range
cooktop may occur. Forcing the
cooktop to fit may cause excessive
gaps and could break the glass
