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 in-
stalled anti-tip device.
To check if device is properly installed, look
underneath range with a flashlight to make
sure one of the rear leveling legs is properly
engaged in the bracket slot. The anti-tip
device secures the rear leveling leg to the
floor when properly engaged. You should
check this anytime the range has been
moved.

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 appli-
ance, damage to the appliance, and seri-
ous 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
appliance. Also, do not use the cooktop or
oven as a storage area for food or cooking
utensils.
For proper oven performance and opera-
tion, do not block or obstruct the oven vent
duct located on the right side of the air
grille.
Avoid touching oven vent area while oven
is on and for several minutes after oven is
turned off. When the oven is in use, 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.
