WARNING

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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

To reduce the risk of tipping the range, the range must 
be secured by a properly installed anti-tip bracket. See
installation instructions shipped with the bracket for complete
details before attempting to install.

For Freestanding Ranges:

To check if the bracket is installed and engaged properly,
remove the storage drawer or kick panel and look underneath
the range to see that the leveling leg is engaged in the
bracket. On models without a storage drawer or kick panel,
carefully tip the range forward. The bracket should stop the
range within 4 inches. If it does not, the bracket must be
reinstalled. If the range is pulled from the wall for any reason,
always repeat this procedure to verify the range is properly
secured by the anti-tip bracket. 
Never completely remove the leveling legs or the range will
not be secured to the anti-tip device properly. 

For Slide-In Ranges:
To check if the bracket is installed and engaged properly,
remove the storage drawer or kick panel and look
underneath the range to see that the leveling leg is engaged
in the bracket.

For Drop-In Ranges:
To check if the bracket 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 it does not, the bracket must be reinstalled. 
If you did not receive an anti-tip bracket with your purchase,
call 1.800.626.8774 to receive one at no cost (in Canada, call
1.800.561.3344). For installation instructions of the bracket,
visit GEAppliances.com (in Canada, GEAppliances.ca).
