WARNING: To reduce risk of
tipping of the appliance from
abnormal usage or by excessive
loading of the oven door, the
appliance must be secured by a
properly installed anti-tip device.
To check if device is properly installed,
remove storage drawer and look under-
neath range to make sure one of the rear
leveling legs is properly engaged in the

AMAGE
Be sure all packing materials are removed
from the appliance before operating it.
Keep area around appliance clear and free
from combustible materials, gasoline, and
other flammable vapors and materials.
If appliance is installed near a window,
proper precautions should be taken to
prevent curtains from blowing over burn-
ers.
NEVER leave any items on the cooktop.
The hot air from the vent may ignite flam-
mable items and may increase pressure in
closed containers which may cause them to
burst.
Many aerosol-type spray cans are EXPLO-
SIVE when exposed to heat and may be highly
flammable. Avoid their use or storage near
an appliance.
Many plastics are vulnerable to heat. Keep
plastics away from parts of the appliance that
may become warm or hot. Do not leave
plastic items on the cooktop as they may
melt or soften if left too close to the vent or
a lighted surface burner.
To eliminate the hazard of reaching over hot
surface burners, cabinet storage should not
be provided directly above a unit. If storage
is provided, it should be limited to items
which are used infrequently and which are
safely stored in an area subjected to heat
from an appliance. Temperatures may be
unsafe for some items, such as volatile liq-
uids, cleaners or aerosol sprays.

WARNING
NEVER use appliance door, or drawer,
if equipped, as a step stool or seat as this
may result in possible tipping of the
appliance, damage to the appliance, and
serious injuries.
NEVER use appliance as a space heater to
heat or warm a room to prevent potential
hazard to the user and damage to the appli-
ance. Also, do not use the cooktop or oven
as a storage area for food or cooking uten-
sils.
Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and
ventilation air by blocking the oven vent or
air intakes. Restriction of air flow to the
burner prevents proper performance and
increases carbon monoxide emission to
unsafe levels.
Avoid touching oven vent area while oven is
on and for several minutes after oven is
turned off. Some parts of the vent and
surrounding area become hot enough to
cause burns. After oven is turned off, do not
touch the oven vent or surrounding areas
until they have had sufficient time to cool.
Other potentially hot surfaces include
cooktop, areas facing the cooktop, oven
vent, surfaces near the vent opening, oven
door, areas around the oven door and oven
window.
Do not touch a hot oven light bulb with a
damp cloth as the bulb could break. Should
