Stepping, leaning or sitting on the door or
drawers of a range can result in serious injuries

weight of a child on an open oven door may cause the
range to tip, resulting in serious burns or other injury.
Never use your appliance for warming or heating
the room.
Do not use the oven or warmer drawer
(if
equipped)
for storage.
• Remove all tape and packaging before using the
range.
Destroy the carton and plastic bags after unpacking
the range. Never allow children to play with packaging
material.

accordance with the National Electrical Code ANSI/
NFPA No. 70 latest edition and local electrical code
requirements.
Install only per installation instructions
provided in the literature package for this range.
• User servicing—Do not repair or replace any part of
the appliance unless specifically recommended in
the manuals.
All other servicing should be done only by

Ask your dealer to recommend a qualified technician and
an authorized repair service. Know how to disconnect the
power to the range at the circuit breaker or fuse box in case
of an emergency.
• Never modify or alter the construction of a range
by removing the leveling legs, panels, wire covers,
anti-tip brackets/screws, or any other part of the
product.
• Remove the oven door from any unused range if it
is to be stored or discarded.
