IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock,

injury to persons, or damage when using the range, follow basic precautions, including the following:

■ WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF TIPPING OF

THE RANGE, THE RANGE MUST BE SECURED BY PROPERLY INSTALLED ANTI-TIP DEVICES. TO CHECK IF THE DEVICES ARE INSTALLED PROPERLY, SLIDE RANGE FORWARD, LOOK FOR ANTI-TIP BRACKET SECURELY ATTACHED TO FLOOR OR WALL, AND SLIDE RANGE BACK SO REAR RANGE FOOT IS UNDER ANTI-TIP BRACKET.

■ WARNING: NEVER use this appliance as a space

heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating of the oven.

■ WARNING: NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages

in the oven bottom or cover an entire rack with materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat, causing a fire hazard.

■ CAUTION: Do not store items of interest to children in

cabinets above a range or on the backguard of a range – children climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously injured.

■ Proper Installation – The range, when installed, must be

electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or, in

the absence of local codes, with the

National Electrical

Code, ANSI/NFPA 70

. Be sure the range is properly

installed and grounded by a qualified technician.

■ This range is equipped with a three-prong grounding plug

for your protection against shock hazard and should be

plugged directly into a properly grounded receptacle. Do

not cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug.

■ Disconnect power before servicing.

■ Injuries may result from the misuse of appliance doors or

drawers such as stepping, leaning, or sitting on the doors

or drawers.

■ Maintenance – Keep range area clear and free from

combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable

vapors and liquids.

■ Storage in or on the Range – Flammable materials should

not be stored in an oven or near surface units.

■ Top burner flame size should be adjusted so it does not

extend beyond the edge of the cooking utensil.

For self-cleaning ranges –

■ Before Self-Cleaning the Oven – Remove broiler pan and

other utensils. Wipe off all excessive spillage before

initiating the cleaning cycle.

The range will not tip during normal use. However, the range can tip if you apply too much force or weight to the open door without the anti-tip bracket fastened down properly.
