To reduce the risk of tipping the range, the range
must be secured by a properly installed anti-tip

with the bracket for complete details before
attempting to install.
To check if the bracket is installed and engaged
properly, carefully tip the range forward. The
bracket should stop the range within 4 inches.
If it does not, the bracket must be reinstalled.
If the range is pulled from the wall for any reason,
always repeat this procedure to verify the range
is properly secured by the anti-tip bracket.
For free-standing or slide-in ranges, never
completely remove the leveling legs or the range
will not be secured to the anti-tip device properly.

LOCATION
Do not locate the range where it mag be subject to
strong drafts. Ang openings in the floor or wall behind
the range should be sealed. Make sure the openings
around the base of the range that supplg fresh air for
combustion and ventilation are not obstructed bg
carpeting or woodwork.
Your range, like many other household items, is heavy and
can settle 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 floor.
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. Also, make sure your floor covering will withstand
180°R(Seethe Installation Safety Instructions section.)
Make sure the wall coverings around your range can
withstand the heat generated (up to 200°F)by the range.
(Seethe Insta!!otion Safety Instructions section.)
IMPORTANT!
Remove all tape and packaging. Make sure the burners
are properlg seated and level.
Take the accessorg pack out of the oven and/or drawer.
Check to be sure that no range parts have come loose
during shipping.
