INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING:
To reduce risk of tipping of
the appliance from abnormal usage or
by excessive loading of the oven door,
the appliance must be secured by a
properly installed anti-tip device.
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 de-
vice 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 pre-
vent curtains from blowing over burners.
NEVER leave any items on the cooktop.
The hot air from the vent may ignite flam-
mable items and may increase pressure
in closed containers which may cause
them to burst.
Many aerosol-type spray cans are EXPLO-
SIVE when exposed to heat and may be
highly flammable. Avoid their use or stor-
age 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 lim-
ited to items which are used infrequently
and which are safely stored in an area sub-
jected to heat from an appliance. Tempera-
tures may be unsafe for some items, such
as volatile liquids, cleaners or aerosol
sprays.

WARNING
WARNING
Because gas may escape from your sys-
tem which may not be detected by smell
alone, resulting in a potentially extremely
dangerous situation, it is recommended by
gas suppliers that you purchase and install
a UL approved gas detector(s) in your home.
Your local gas supplier can assist you in
obtaining a gas detector. Please install,
maintain and use the gas detector in accor-
dance with the gas detector manufacturer’s
instructions.
