IMPORTANT!
Remove all tape and packaging. Lift up the cooktop (on models with standard twin burners) and remove
any packing material under it. Make sure the standard twin burners are properly seated and level.
Take the accessory pack out of the oven.
Check to be sure that no range parts have come loose during shipping.
LOCATION
Do not locate the range where it may be subject to strong drafts. Any openings in the floor or wall behind
the range should be sealed. Make sure the openings around the base of the range that supply fresh air
for combustion and ventilation are not obstructed by carpeting or woodwork.
Your range, like many other household items,
is heavy and can settle into soft floor coverings
such as cushioned vinyl or carpeting. Use care
when moving the range on this type of flooring.
It is recommended that the following simple
and inexpensive instructions be followed to
protect your floor.
The range should be installed on a sheet of
plywood (or similar material). When the floor
covering ends at the front of the range, the area
that the range will rest on should be built up
with plywood to the same level or higher than
the floor covering.
This will allow the range to be moved for
cleaning or servicing. Also, make sure your
floor covering will withstand 180°F. (See the
Installation Safety Instructions
section.)
Make sure the wall coverings around your
range can withstand the heat generated (up to
200°F.) by the range. (See the
Installation Safety
Instructions
section.)
All ranges can tip and injury could result.
To prevent accidental tipping of the range, attach an approved Anti-Tip device to the wall. (See Installing
the Anti-Tip Device in this section.) 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 Anti-Tip device is engaged when
you push the range back against the wall.
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
the vicinity of this or any other appliance. Explosions or fires could result.
Do not use oven for a storage area. Items stored in the oven can ignite.
Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate in or near the range.
