in temperatures above 32°F (0°C) for at least 3 hours
before turning on the power to the appliance.
• Be sure your range is installed and grounded
properly by a qualified installer or service

• All ranges
can tip.
• Injury to
persons
could result.
• Install anti-
tip device
packed with
range.
To reduce the risk of tipping
of the range, the range
must be secured by properly
installed anti-tip bracket(s)
provided with the range.
To check if the bracket(s), is
installed properly, grasp the
top rear edge of the range
and carefully tilt it forward
to make sure the range is
anchored.
• Make sure the wall coverings around the range
can withstand the heat generated by the range.
• Before installing the range in an area covered
with linoleum or any other synthetic floor
covering, make sure the floor covering can
withstand heat at least 90°F (32.2°C) above room
temperature without shrinking, warping or
discoloring. Do not install the range over carpeting
unless you place an insulating pad or sheet of ¼"
(0.64 cm) thick plywood between the range and
carpeting.
Never leave children alone or
unattended in the area where an appliance is in
use. As children grow, teach them the proper, safe use
of all appliances. Never leave the oven door open when
the range is unattended.
Stepping, leaning or sitting on the
door or drawer of this range can result in serious
injuries and can also cause damage to the range.
• Do not store items of interest to children in
the cabinets above the range. Children could be
seriously burned climbing on the range to reach items.
• To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching
over heated surface units, cabinet storage
space above the surface unit should be avoided.
If cabinet storage is to be provided the risk can
be reduce by installing a range hood that project
horizontally a minimum of 5 inches beyond the bottom
of the cabinet.
• Do not use the oven as a storage space. This
creates a potentially hazardous situation.
• Never use your range for warming or heating the
room. Prolonged use of the range without adequate
ventilation can be dangerous.
• Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable
vapors and liquids near this or any other
appliance. Explosions or fires could result.
• Reset all controls to the "off" position after using
a programmable timing operation.
FOR MODELS WITH SELF-CLEAN FEATURE:
• Remove oven racks, broiler pan, food and other
utensils before self-cleaning the oven. Wipe up
excess spillage. Follow the precleaning instructions in
