To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury to 

persons, or damage when using the range, follow basic 
precautions, including the following:

■  

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF TIPPING OF THE 

RANGE, THE RANGE MUST BE SECURED BY PROPERLY 
INSTALLED ANTI-TIP DEVICES. TO CHECK IF THE DEVICES 
ARE INSTALLED PROPERLY, SLIDE RANGE FORWARD, LOOK 
FOR ANTI-TIP BRACKET SECURELY ATTACHED TO FLOOR, 
AND SLIDE RANGE BACK SO REAR RANGE FOOT IS UNDER 
ANTI-TIP BRACKET.

■  

NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to 

heat or warm the 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 an entire rack with materials such as 
aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the oven and may 
cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may also 
trap heat, causing a fire hazard.

■  

Do not store items of interest to children in cabinets 

above a range or on the backguard of a range – children climbing 
on the range to reach items could be seriously injured. 

■  

Proper Installation – The range, when installed, must be electrically 

grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of 
local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70. In 
Canada, the range must be electrically grounded in accordance 
with Canadian Electrical Code. Be sure the range is properly 
installed and grounded by a qualified technician.    

■  

This range is equipped with a three-prong grounding 
plug for your protection against shock hazard and 
should be plugged directly into a properly grounded 
receptacle. Do not cut or remove the grounding 
prong from this plug.

■  

Disconnect power before servicing.

■  

Injuries may result from the misuse of appliance 
doors or drawers such as stepping, leaning, or 
sitting on the doors or drawers.

■  

Maintenance – Keep range area clear and free from 
combustible materials, gasoline, and other 
flammable vapors and liquids.

■  

Storage in or on the Range – Flammable materials 
should not be stored in an oven or near surface 
units.

■  

Top burner flame size should be adjusted so it does 
not extend beyond the edge of the cooking utensil.

■  

Before Self-Cleaning the Oven – Remove broiler pan 
and other utensils. Wipe off all excessive spillage 
before initiating the cleaning cycle.
