Consumer Support Troubleshooting Tips Care and Cleaning Operating Instructions Safety Instructions IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING. WARNING! For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life. WARNING ANTI-TIP DEVICE All ranges can tip and injury could result. Slide-In Ranges: Drop-In Ranges: To prevent accidental tipping of the range, attach it to the wall and floor by installing the Anti-Tip device supplied. To check if the device is installed and engaged properly, remove the storage drawer and inspect the rear leveling leg. Make sure it fits securely into the slot. To prevent accidental tipping of the range, secure the attached Anti-Tip bracket, under the rear countertop. To check if the device is installed and engaged properly, lower the oven door and gently apply medium force at the handle end until movement of the range is detected. Continue pressing until the anti-tip bracket is engaged and movement stops. A small amount of movement is acceptable at the back of the range top but it should be stable and not tip once the anti-tip bracket is engaged. If you pull the range out from the wall for any reason, make sure the device is properly engaged when you push the range back against the wall. If it is not, there is a possible risk of the range tipping over and causing injury if you or a child stand, sit or lean on an open door. Please refer to the Anti-Tip device information in this manual. Failure to take this precaution could result in tipping of the range and injury. IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances. The fiberglass insulation in self-clean ovens gives off a very small amount of carbon monoxide during the cleaning cycle. Exposure can be minimized by venting with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood.
