WARNING:
All ranges can tip and injury could
result. To prevent accidental tipping
of the range, attach an approved
Anti-Tip device to the wall and floor.
(See installing the Anti-Tip Device
in this section..)
To check if the device is installed and
engaged properly, remove the broiler
drawer and inspect the rear leveling leg
Make sure it fits securely into the slot.
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.
• For your safety, never use your range for warming or
heating the room. Your oven and cooktop are not
designed to heat your kitchen. Top burners should not
be operated without cookware on the grate. Such
abuse could result in fire and damage to your range
and will void your warranty.
. Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline or
other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this
or any other appliance. Explosions or fires could result..
• Do not use oven for a storage area° Items stored in the
oven can ignite°

accumulate in or near the range.
GENERAL
• See the Dimensions and Clearances illustration in this
section for all rough-in and spacing dimensions. These
dimensions must be met for safe use of your range,
The location of the electrical outlet and pipe opening
(see Gas Pipe and Electric Outlet Locations) may be
adjusted to meet specific requirements°
• The range may be placed with 0" (0 cm) clearance

LOCATION
Do not locate the range where it may be subject to strong
drafts. Any openings in the floor or wall behind the range
should be sealed. Make sure the openings around the
base of the range that supply fresh air for combustion and
ventilation are not obstructed by carpeting or woodwork.
PROTECT YOUR FLOOR
Your range, like many other household items, is heavy
and can settie into soft floor coverings such as cushioned
vinyl or carpeting.. Use care when moving the range on
this type of flooring. It is recommended that the following
simple and inexpensive instructions be followed to protect
your ftoor.
The range should be installed on a sheet of plywood
(or similar material). When the floor covering ends at
the front of the range, the area that the range will rest
on should be built up with plywood to the same level or
higher than the floor covering° This will allow the range
to be moved for cleaning or servicing..
