Always disconnect the electrical plug from the wall outlet before servicing the unit.  It is recommended that a dedicated 
electrical circuit be used for this appliance.
Always turn gas shut-off valve to OFF position before servicing unit.

POWER FAILURE WARNING

Due to safety considerations and the possibility of personal injury, do not attempt to light or operate range burners, grills, 
griddles, the oven or broiler during a power failure.  Safety systems which detect the presence of an ignition source and operate 
the gas safety valve do not function during a power failure.  Be sure all gas valve knobs are turned to and remain in the OFF 
position during a power failure.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE AND WARNING

The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 (Proposition 65) requires the Governor of California to 
publish a list of substances known to the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm, and requires businesses to 
warn customers of potential exposures to such substances.  Users of this appliance are hereby warned that when the oven is 
operated, there may be some low-level exposure to some of the listed substances including carbon monoxide.  Exposure to 
these substances can be minimized by properly venting the oven to the outdoors using approved overhead ventilation equipment 
or by opening the windows and/or doors in the room where the appliance is located.
This appliance should not be operated without a properly sized and functional ventilation hood.

To reduce the risk of appliance tipping, it must be secured to the wall with a properly installed anti-tip bracket.  To make sure the 
bracket has been installed properly, inspect behind the range using a flashlight.

•  Anti-tip devices are only necessary for range products. 
•  This range can tip causing personal injury
•  See Installation Instructions supplied with the range and install the anti-tip device packaged with the range
•  If the anti-tip device cannot be located, contact American Range Customer Service by calling 818.897.0808 or by 
  contacting us at www.americanrange.com

Do not store items of interest to children above or near the appliance.  Children, as well as adults, should never be allowed to 
sit, stand or climb on any part of the appliance.  Serious personal injury may occur.

To avoid the possibility of explosion or fire, do not store or use combustible, flammable or explosive liquids (such 
as gasoline) or vapors inside or in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.  Keep items that could explode, such as 
aerosol cans, away from the product.  Do not store explosive or flammable materials in nearby cabinets or areas.
When operating the oven or broiler, do not touch the surfaces of the ceramic tile broiler, the rack or rack supports, the           
walls of the oven or the inside surfaces of the oven door - interior surfaces become hot enough to cause burns.  The heat         
deflector, which deflects heat away from the control panel, and the oven door sides will also be hot during use.
