IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
• Be sure your range is installed and grounded properly
by a qualified installer or service technician.
• This range must be electrically grounded in
accordance with local codes or, in their absence,
with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No.
70—latest edition.
• The installation of appliances designed for
manufactured (mobile) home installation must conform
with Manufactured Home Construction and Safety
Standard, title 24CFR, part 3280 [Formerly the Federal
Standard for Mobile Home Construction and Safety,
title 24, HUD (part 280)] or when such standard
is not applicable, the Standard for Manufactured
Home Installation 1982 (Manufactured Home Sites,
Communities and Setups), ANSI Z225.1/NFPA 501A-
latest edition, or with local codes.
• Make sure the wall coverings around the range
can withstand the heat generated by the range.
• Before installing the range in an 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 1/4"
thick plywood between the range and carpeting.
Never leave children alone or
unattended in the area where an appliance is in
use. As children grow, teach them the proper, safe use
of all appliances. Never leave the oven door open when
the range is unattended.
Stepping, leaning or sitting on the
door of this range can result in serious injuries and
can also cause damage to the range.
• 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 risk of burns or fire by reaching
over heated surface units, cabinet storage space
above the surface unit should be avoided. If
cabinet storage is to be provided the risk can be
reduce by installing a range hood that project
horizontally a minimum of 5 inches beyond the bottom
of the cabinet.
• Do not use the oven as a storage space. This
creates a potentially hazardous situation.
• Never use your range for warming or heating the
room. Prolonged use of the range without adequate
ventilation can be dangerous.
• Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable
vapors and liquids near this or any other
appliance. Explosions or fires could result.
• Reset all controls to the "off" position after using
a programmable timing operation.
FOR MODELS WITH SELF-CLEAN FEATURE:
• Remove broiler pan, food and other utensils
before self-cleaning the oven. Wipe up excess
spillage. Follow the pre cleaning instructions in the Use
and Care Guide.
• All appliance can tip.
• Injury to persons could result.
• Install anti-tip bracket packed with
your appliance.
• See Installation Instructions.
To reduce the risk of tipping of the
range, the range must be secured by
properly installed anti-tip screws, for
models with coil elements. They are
located in a plastic bag in the
oven. For smoothtop models, the anti-tip bracket
located at the rear of the range fits under the
countertop and prevents range from tipping.
Failure to install the anti-tip screws will allow the
range to tip over if excessive weight is placed on
an open door or if a child climbs upon it. Serious
injury might result from spilled hot liquids or
from the range itself.
