WARNING!
For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire, electric
shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.

WARNINGANti-TIPDEVICE
All ranges can tip and injury could result.
Slide@
Ranges:

Toprevent 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.

Drop-In
Ranges:

Toprevent accidental tipping of the range, secure the attached Anti--tip bracket, under
the rear countertop.
To check if the device is installed and engaged properly, lower the oven door and gently
apply medium force at the handle end until movement of the range is detected. Continue
pressing until the anti-tip bracket is engaged and movement stops. A small amount of
movement is acceptable at the back of the range top but it should be stable and not tip
once the anti-tip bracket is engaged.

If you pull the range out flom the wall for any reason, make sure the dex,ice is properly
engaged when you push the range back against the wall. It it is not, there is a possible risk of
the range tipping over and causing in,ju U if you or a child stand, sit or lean on an open door.
Please refer to the Anti-Tip dex,ice information
shipped xdth the device and in this manual.
Failure to take this precaution
could result in tipping of the range and injm T.

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.

SAFETY
PRECAUtiONS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:

Use this appliance only for its intended
purpose as described in this Owner's
Manual.
Be sure your appliance is properly

when it is in use. They may become hot
and could cause burns.
Clean the cooktop xdth caution, ff a wet
sponge or cloth is used to xdpe spills on a

burns. Some cleaners can produce
noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.
NOTE: We recommend
that you avoid
