IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

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.

All ranges can tip and injury could result. 

To prevent accidental tipping of the range, attach it to the wall and floor by installing the Anti-Tip
device supplied. 

Check if the device is installed and engaged properly. Make sure the chain fits securely into the slot
in the bracket.

If you pull the range out from the wall for any reason, make sure the device is properly

engaged when you push the range back against the wall. If it is not, there is a possible risk of

the range tipping over and causing injury if you or a child stand, sit or lean on an open door.
Please refer to the Anti-Tip device information in this manual. Failure to take this precaution

could result in tipping of the range and injury.

WARNING

ANTI-TIP DEVICE

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 installed

and grounded by a qualified installer in

accordance with the provided installation

instructions.

■ 

Have the installer show you the location of

the circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy

reference.

■ 

Do not attempt to repair or replace any

part of your range unless it is specifically

recommended in this manual. All other

servicing should be referred to a qualified

technician.

■ 

Teach children not to play with the

controls or any other part of the range.

■ 

Before performing any service, disconnect

the range power supply at the household

distribution panel by removing the fuse or

switching off the circuit breaker.

■ 

Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or

hang on the door, storage drawer or

cooktop. They could damage the range

and even tip it over, causing severe

personal injury.

■ 

Do not store or use combustible materials,

gasoline or other flammable vapors and

liquids in the vicinity of this or any other

appliance.

■ 

Keep the hood and grease filters clean 

to maintain good venting and to avoid 

grease fires.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

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.
