wWARNING
General
•
Read all instructions before using

• Install or locate the range only in accor-
dance with the provided Installation
Instructions. The range must be installed
by a qualified installer. The range must
be properly connected to electrical
supply and grounded.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of tipping
the appliance, the appliance must be
secured by a properly installed anti-tip
bracket. To check if the bracket is
installed properly, see "The anti-tip
bracket" on page 27.
• CAUTION: Do not store things children
might want above the range. Children
could be burned or injured while climb-
ing on it.
• Do not leave children alone or unat-
tended in area where the range is in use.
They should never be allowed to sit or
stand on any part of the range. They
could be burned or injured.
• Do not operate the range if it is
damaged or not working properly.
This symbol alerts you to hazards such
as fire, electrical shock, or other injuries.
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury
to persons, or damage when using the range,
follow basic precautions, including the following:
• Do not use the range for warming or
heating the room. Persons could be
burned or injured, or a fire could start.
• Use the range only for its intended use
as described in this manual.
• Do not touch surface units, areas near
units, heating elements, or interior
surfaces of oven. Surface units and
heating elements may be hot even
though they are dark in color. Areas
near surface units and interior surfaces
of an oven become hot enough to
cause burns. During and after use, do
not touch or let clothing or other flam-
mable materials contact surface units,
areas near units, heating elements, or
interior surfaces of oven until they have
had sufficient time to cool. Other sur-
faces of the range, such as the oven
vent opening, the surface near the vent
opening, the cooktop, and the oven
door, could also become hot enough to
cause burns.
