WARNING Tip Over Hazard A child or adult can tip the range and be killed. Connect anti-tip bracket to rear range foot. Reconnect the anti-tip bracket, if the range is moved. See the installation instructions for details. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious burns to children and adults. Anti-Tip Bracket Making sure the anti-tip bracket is installed: · Slide range forward. · Look for the anti-tip bracket securely attached to floor. · Slide range back so rear range foot is under anti-tip bracket. Range Foot IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury to persons, or damage when using the range, follow basic precautions, including the following: WARNING: 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. WARNING: 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. WARNING: 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. CAUTION: 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. 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. For self-cleaning ranges ­ Before Self-Cleaning the Oven ­ Remove broiler pan and other utensils. Wipe off all excessive spillage before initiating the cleaning cycle.
