All rangescan tip and injury could result.
Toprevent accidental tipping of the range, attach
#to the waft by installing the Anti-77p device
supplied.
If the Anti--tip device supplied with the range does
not fit this application, use the universal Anti-7ip
device WB2X7909.
Tocheck ff the device is instated and engaged
properly, carefully tip the range forward. The
Anti--tip device should engage and pravent
the range from tipping over.
If you pull d_e range out flom d_e wall fbr
any reason, make sure fl_e device is propedy
engaged when you push the range back against
the wall. If it is }_ot, there is a possible _isk of fl_e

IMPORTANTSAFETYNOtiCE
The Californb Safe Drinking Water and Toxic
Enforcement Act requires the Governor of
Californb to publish a list of substances known
to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm, and requires businesses to
warn customers of potential exposure to such
substances.
The fiberglass insulation in self-clean ovens gives
off a very small amount of carbon monoxide during
the cleaning cycle. Exposure can be minimized by
venting with an open window or using a ventilation
fan or hood.
