All ranges can tip and injury could result.
To prevent accidental tipping of the range, attach it to the
wall and floor by installing the Anti-Tip device supplied.
To check if the device is installed and engaged properly,
remove the storage drawer and inspect the rear leveling leg.
Make sure it fits securely into the slot.
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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

WARNING!
For your safety, the information in this manual must be
followed to minimize the risk of fire or explosion, electric
shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury,
or loss of life.
WARNING ANTI-TIP DEVICE
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement
Act requires the Governor of California 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.

Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as
described in this Owner’s Manual.
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions
should be followed, including the following:
■ Be sure your appliance
is properly installed
and grounded by a

accordance with the
provided installation
instructions.
■ Do not attempt to
repair or replace any
part of your range

referred to a qualified
technician.
■ Before performing any

the household
distribution panel by
removing the fuse or
switching off the circuit
breaker.
■ Do not leave children
alone—children should
not be left alone or

in use. They should
never be allowed to sit
or stand on any part of
the appliance.
■ Do not allow anyone

CAUTION: Items of
interest to children

climbing on the range
to reach items could be
seriously injured.
■ Never wear loose-fitting
or hanging garments
