° Injury to

persons could

result.

* Install

anti-tip device

packed with

range.

To reduce the risk of tipping of the range, the

range must be secured by properly installed anti- tip bracket (s) provided with the range. To check if the bracket (s) is installed properly, grasp the top rear edge of the range and carefully tilt it

forward to make sure the range is anchored.

at least 90°F above room temperature without shrinking, warping or dlscoloring.

Do not install the range over carpeting unless you

place an insulating pad or sheet of 1/4" thick plywood between the range and carpeting.

Never leave children alone or

unattended in the area where an appliance is in use. As children grow, teach them the proper, safe use of att appliances. Never leave the oven door open when the range is unattended.

Stepping, leaning or sitting on the door or drawer of this range can result in serious injuries and can also cause damage to the range.

* Do not store items of interest to children in the

cabinets above the range. Children could be

seriously burned climbing on the range to reach items.

" To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching

over heated surface units, cabinet storage space above the surface unit should be avoided. If

cabinet storage is to be provided the risk can be reduce by installing a range hood that project

horizontally a minimum of 5 inches beyond the

bottom of the cabinet.

* Do not use the oven as a storage space. This

creates a potentially hazardous situation.

* Never use your range for warming or heating

the room. Prolonged use of the range without adequate ventilation can be dangerous.

* Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable

vapors and llquids near this or any other appliance. Explosions or fires could resutt.

" Reset all controls to the "off" position after using

a programmable timing operation.
