tip and injury could

remd~ To prevent accidental tipping

of the range, attach an approved

@

Anti-Tip device to the wall. (See
IxMtaUingthe Anti-Tip Device in this
section.) To check if the device is
installed and engaged properly,
carefully tip the range forward. The

lMi-Tii device should engage and prevent the

range ikom tipping over.

If you pull the range out horn the wall for any
reason, make sure the Anti-Tip device is engaged
when you push the range back against the wall.

c For your safety, never use your range for
warming or heating the room. Your oven and
cooktop are not designed to heat your kitchen.

Top burners should not be operated without

cookware on the grate. Such abuse could result
in fire and damage to your range and will void
your warranty.

● Do not store or use combustible materials,

gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids

in tie vicinity ofthis or any other appliance.

Explosions or fires could result

● Do not use oven for a storage area. Items
