IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read and follow all instructions before using your oven to prevent the risk of fire, electric shock, personal injury, or damage
when using the range. This guide does not cover all possible conditions that may occur. For further assistance contact your
service agent or manufacturer.
This is the safety alert symbol. This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can cause personal injury to
you and others. All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word "WARNING" or
"CAUTION".
WARNING
This symbol will alert you to hazards or unsafe practices which could cause serious bodily harm or death.
CAUTION
This symbol will alert you to hazards or unsafe practices which could cause bodily injury or property damage.
WARNING
• The information in this manual should be followed exactly to avoid fire, electrical shock, property damage, personal
injury, or death.
• Do not step or sit on the oven door. Install the Anti-Tip Bracket supplied with the range.
− The range could be tipped and injury might result from spilled hot liquid, food, or the range itself.
− If the range is pulled away from the wall for cleaning, service, or any other reason, ensure that the Anti-Tip Device
is properly reengaged when the range is pushed back against the wall.
• All ranges can tip and injury could result.
− To prevent accidental tipping of the range, attach an approved anti-tip device to the wall. (See "Installing the Anti-
Tip Device" in this manual and the instructions packaged with the device.)
− 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 anti-tip device is engaged when you push the
range back against the wall.
• Use two or more people to move and install range. (Excessive Weight Hazard)
− Failure to do so can result in back injury or other injury.
• Do not use the oven door handles to pull, push, or move the range.
− Doing so can result in serious damage to the door of the range.
• New branch-circuit installations (1996 NEC) for mobile homes, recreational vehicles, and installations where local
codes do not allow grounding through the neutral wire require a 4-conductor UL listed range cord or 4-wire conduit
connection.
• Do not modify the power supply cord or plug. If the plug will not fit in the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by
a qualified electrician.
