About Your Appliance
Cooking Safety
To check if device is properly installed, look underneath
range with a flashlight to make sure one of the rear
leveling legs is properly engaged in the bracket slot. The
anti-tip device secures the rear leveling leg to the floor
when properly engaged. You should check this anytime
the range has been moved.
To Prevent Fire or Smoke
Damage
Be sure all packing materials are removed from the
appliance before operating it.
Keep area around appliance clear and free from
combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable
vapors and materials.
If appliance is installed near a window, proper
precautions should be taken to prevent curtains from
blowing over burners.
NEVER leave any items on the cooktop. The hot air from
the vent may ignite flammable items and may increase
pressure in closed containers which may cause them to
burst.
Many aerosol-type spray cans are EXPLOSIVE when
exposed to heat and may be highly flammable. Avoid
their use or storage near an appliance.
Many plastics are vulnerable to heat. Keep plastics away
from parts of the appliance that may become warm or
hot. Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop as they
may melt or soften if left too close to the vent or a lighted
surface burner.
To eliminate the hazard of reaching over hot surface
burners, cabinet storage should not be provided directly
above a unit. If storage is provided, it should be limited to
items which are used infrequently and which are safely
stored in an area subjected to heat from an appliance.
Temperatures may be unsafe for some items, such as
volatile liquids, cleaners or aerosol sprays.
General Instructions
WARNING: To reduce risk of tipping
of the appliance from abnormal
usage or by excessive loading of the oven doors,
the appliance must be secured by a properly
installed anti-tip device.
WARNING
• ALL RANGES CAN TIP AND CAUSE
INJURIES TO PERSONS
• INSTALL ANTI-TIP DEVICE
PACKED WITH RANGE
• FOLLOW ALL INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
NEVER use appliance doors as a step stool or seat as this
may result in possible tipping of the appliance and serious
injuries.
NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to heat or
warm a room. Doing so may result in carbon
monoxide poisoning and overheating of the oven.
NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven
bottom or cover the entire rack with materials such as
aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the
oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning.
Aluminum foil may also trap heat causing a fire
hazard.
NEVER obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation
air by blocking the oven vent or air intakes. Doing so
restricts air to the burners and may result in carbon
monoxide poisoning.
The oven vent is located at the base of the backguard.
Avoid touching oven vent area while oven is on and for
several minutes after oven is turned off. Some parts of
the vent and surrounding area become hot enough to
cause burns. After oven is turned off, do not touch the
oven vent or surrounding areas until they have had
sufficient time to cool.
Other potentially hot surfaces include cooktop, areas
facing the cooktop, oven vent, surfaces near the vent
opening, oven doors, areas around the oven doors and
oven windows.
Do not touch a hot oven light bulb with a damp cloth as
the bulb could break. Should the bulb break, disconnect
power to the appliance before removing bulb to avoid
electrical shock.
Do not use the cooktop or ovens as a storage area for
food or cooking utensils.
CAUTION
NEVER store items of interest to children in cabinets
above an appliance or on backguard of a range. Children
climbing on the appliance door to reach items could be
seriously injured.
NEVER leave children alone or unsupervised near the
appliance when it is in use or is still hot.
