flammable vapors and liquids in the

WARNING
DANGER OF TIPPING
All ranges can tip and injury can result. To
prevent accidental tipping of the range, attach
it to the floor, wall, or cabinet by installing the
anti-tip bracket supplied.
A child or adult can tip the range over and be
killed or seriously injured. Verify that the anti-
tip bracket is securely installed. Ensure the anti-
tip bracket is engaged when the range is
moved.
DO NOT operate the range
without the anti-tip bracket in
place. Failure to follow the
instructions in this manual can
result in death or serious burns to
children and adults.
If the range is pulled away from
the wall for cleaning, service, or
any other reason, ensure that the
anti-tip bracket is properly
reengaged when the range is pushed back against the
wall. In the event of abnormal usage (such as a person
standing, sitting, or leaning on an open door), failure
to take this precaution can result in tipping of the
range. Personal injury might result from spilled hot
liquids or from the range itself.
Check for proper installation and use of anti-tip
bracket. Carefully tip range forward pulling from the
back to ensure that the anti-tip bracket engages the
range and prevents tip-over. Range should not move
more than 1'' (2.5 cm).
WARNING
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service
or maintenance can cause injury or property damage.
Refer to this manual. For assistance or additional
information consult a qualified installer, service
agency, manufacturer or the gas supplier.
WARNING
To provide proper ventilation of the range DO NOT
remove range feet.
