WARNING:
All ranges can tip and injury
could result. To prevent
accidental tipping of the range,
attach it to the wall by installing
the Anti-Tip device supplied.
To check if the device is
installed and engaged properly,
carefully tip the range forward.
The Anti-Tip device should
engage and prevent the range
from tipping over.
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 information in
the installation instructions.
Failure to take this precaution could result in
tipping of the range and injury.
