• All ranges
can tip.
• Injury to
persons
could result.
• Install anti-
tip device
packed with
range.
To reduce the risk of tipping
of the range, the range
must be secured by properly
installed anti-tip bracket (s)
_rovided with the range. To
check if the bracket(s) is
installed properly, grasp the
top rear edge of the range
and carefully tilt it forward
to make sure the range is
anchored.
• Before
installing
the range in area covered
with
linoleum
or any other
synthetic
floor
covering,
make
sure the floor covering
can withstand
heat
at least 90°F above
room temperature
without
shrinking,
warping
or discoloring.
Do not install
the range over carpeting
unless you place an
insulating
pad or sheet of 1A" thick
plywood
between
the range and carpeting.
• Make sure the wall
coverings
around
the range
can withstand
the heat generated
by the range.
• Do not obstruct
the flow of combustion
air at the oven
vent nor around
the base or beneath
the lower front
panel of the range.
Avoid touching
the vent openings
or nearby surfaces
as they may become
hot.
This
range requires fresh air for proper burner
combustion.
• Do not store
items of interest
to children
in the
cabinets
above
the range.
Children
could
be
seriously
burned climbing
on the range to reach items.
• To eliminate
the need to reach over the surface
burners,
cabinet
storage
space above the burners
should
be avoided.
• Adjust
surface
burner
flame
size so it does not
extend
beyond
the edge of the cooking
utensil.
Excessive flame
is hazardous.
• Do not use the oven as a storage
space.
This
creates a potentially
hazardous
situation.

or heating
the
room.
Prolonged
use of the range without
adequate
ventilation

the oven (if
equipped).
Do not make any attempt to operate
the electric ignition oven during an electrical power
failure.
Resumption of electric power when OVEN TEMP
and OVEN SETcontrols are in any position other than OFF
will result in automatic ignition of the oven or broiler
burner.
In case of a power outage, you can light the surface
burners on your range with a match. Hold a lighted
match to the burner, then slowly turn the knob to the
LITEposition.
Use extreme
caution when
lighting
burners this way.
Surface burner in use when electrical power failure occurs
will continue to operate normally.
The oven burner
and broil burner
on your range are
lighted
by electrical
ignition.
The oven and broiler
cannot
be operated
in the event
of a power
failure.
