WARNING!
ANTI-TIP DEVICE
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.
To check if the bracket is installed and engaged
properly, 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.
For free-standing or slide-in ranges, never completely
remove the leveling legs or the range will not be
secured to the anti-tip device properly.
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).

LOCATION
Do not locate the range where it may be subject to strong
drafts. Any openings in the floor or wall behind the range
should be sealed. Make sure the openings around the
base of the range that supply fresh air for combustion
and ventilation are not obstructed by carpeting or
woodwork.
Your range, like many other household items, is heavy
and can settle into soft floor coverings such as cushioned
vinyl or carpeting. Use care when moving the range
on this type of flooring. It is recommended that the
following simple and inexpensive instructions be
followed to protect your floor.
The range should be installed on a sheet of plywood
(or similar material). When the floor covering ends at
the front of the range, the area that the range will rest
on should be built up with plywood to the same level or
higher than the floor covering.
This will allow the range to be moved for cleaning or
servicing. Also, make sure your floor covering will
withstand 180°F. (See the Installation Safety Instructions
section.)
Make sure the wall coverings around your range can
withstand the heat generated (up to 200°F) by the range.
(See the Installation Safety Instructions section.)
IMPORTANT!
Remove all tape and packaging. Make sure the burners
are properly seated and level.
Take the accessory pack out of the oven and/or drawer.
Check to be sure that no range parts have come loose
during shipping.
