  • Page 4 Tip Over Hazard • A child or adult can tip the range and be killed. • Ensure the anti-tip bracket is engaged when the range is moved. • Do not operate range without anti-tip bracket installed and engaged. • Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious burns to children and adults.
  • Page 5 Poisoning Hazard Never cover any slots, holes, or passages in the oven bottom, cover an entire rack or the oven floor with materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks airflow through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat, causing a fire hazard.
  • Page 6 Please read all instructions before using this appliance. Read this instruction booklet before installing and using the appliance. The manufacturer will not be responsible for any damage to property or to persons caused by incorrect installation or improper use of the appliance. The manufacturer reserves the right to make changes to its products when considered necessary and useful, without affecting the essential safety and operating characteristics.

  • Page 8 IN CASE OF AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE To light the burners manually, carefully hold a lit match to the burner ports and turn the gas control knob to high.

  • Page 10 When using the cooktop: DO NOT TOUCH THE BURNER GRATES OR THE IMMEDIATE SURROUNDING AREA. Areas adjacent to the burners may become hot enough to cause burns. Never leave the range unattended when using high flame settings. Boil overs cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.
  • Page 11 DO NOT block or obstruct the flow of air through the ventilation openings. The oven vent is located at the back of the appliance. The vents need to be unobstructed and open to provide necessary airflow that is important for proper oven performance.
