SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
2
All ranges can tip and injury could result.
To prevent accidental tipping of the range, attach it to the wall by installing the Anti-Tip
device supplied.
If the Anti-Tip device supplied with the range does not fit this application, use the universal Anti-Tip
device WB2X7909.
To check if the device is installed and engaged properly, carefully tip the range forward. The Anti-Tip
device should engage and prevent the range from tipping over.
If you pull the range out from the wall for any reason, make sure the device is properly
engaged when you push the range back against the wall. If it is not, there is a possible risk of
the range tipping over and causing injury if you or a child stand, sit or lean on an open door.
Please refer to the Anti-Tip device information in this manual. Failure to take this precaution
could result in tipping of the range and injury.
