ik WARNING
• All ranges can tip.
• Injury to persons could result.
• Install anti-tip device packed with
range.
• See Installation Instructions.
To reduce the risk of tipping, the range
must be secured by properly installed
anti-tip bracket provided with the
range. To check if the bracket is
installed properly, visually check that
rear leveling leg is inserted into and
fully secured by the anti-tip bracket by
removing lower front panel or storage
drawer from the range.
For models equipped with a warmer drawer or lower oven,
grasp the top rear edge of the range and carefully attempt
to tilt it forward. Refer to the installation instructions for
proper anti- tip bracket installation.
Remove all tape and packaging before using the range.
Destroy the carton and plastic bags after unpacking the
range. Never allow children to play with packaging
material.
Proper installation—Be sure your appliance is properly
installed and grounded by a qualified technician in
accordance with the National Electrical Code ANSI/
NFPA No. 70 latest edition and local electrical code
requirements. Install only per installation instructions
provided in the literature package for this range.
User servicing—Do not repair or replace any part of the
appliance unless specifically recommended in the
manuals. All other servicing should be done only by a
qualified technician. This may reduce the risk of personal
injury and damage to the range.
Ask your dealer to recommend a qualified technician and
an authorized repair service. Know how to disconnect the
power to the range at the circuit breaker or fuse box in
case of an emergency.
• Never modify or alter the construction of a range by
removing the leveling legs, panels, wire covers, anti-tip
brackets/screws, or any other part of the range.
• Remove the oven door from any unused range if it is to
be stored or discarded.
• Do not attempt to operate the range during a power
failure. If the power fails, always turn off the range. If
the range is not turned off and the power resumes, the
range will begin to operate again. Once the power
resumes, reset the clock and oven function.
Stepping, leaning or sitting on the door or
drawers of a range can result in serious injuries and also
cause damage to the appliance. DO NOT allow children
to climb or play around the range. The weight of a child on
an open oven door may cause the range to tip, resulting in
serious burns or other injury.
Storage in or on appliance — flammable
materials should not be stored in an oven, near surface
units or in the storage drawer, warmer drawer or lower
oven. This includes paper, plastic and cloth items, such as
cookbooks, plasticware and towels, as well as flammable
liquids. Do not store explosives, such as aerosol cans, on or
near the range.
