WARNING: To reduce risk of tipping
of the appliance from abnormal us-
age or by excessive loading of the
oven door, the appliance must be se-
cured by a properly installed 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.
To Prevent Fire or Smoke
Damage
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 materi-
als.
If appliance is installed near a window,
proper precautions should be taken to pre-
vent curtains from blowing over burners.
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 EX-
PLOSIVE 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 infre-
quently and which are safely stored in an
area subjected to heat from an appli-
ance. Temperatures may be unsafe for
some items, such as volatile liquids,
cleaners or aerosol sprays.

In Case of Fire

Turn off appliance and ventilating hood
to avoid spreading the flame. Extinguish
flame then turn on hood to remove
smoke and odor.
➢ Cooktop: Smother fire or flame in a
pan with a lid or cookie sheet.
NEVER pick up or move a flaming
pan.
➢ Oven: Smother fire or flame by clos-
ing the oven door.
Do not use water on grease fires. Use
baking soda, a dry chemical or foam-type
extinguisher to smother fire or flame.

Child Safety

NEVER leave children alone or unsuper-
vised in area where appliance is in use or
is still hot.
NEVER allow children to sit or stand on
any part of the appliance as they could
be injured or burned.
CAUTION: NEVER store items of inter-
est to children in cabinets above an ap-
pliance or on backguard of a range. Chil-
