Users of this appliance are hereby warned that when it is engaged in the self-clean cycle, there may be low level exposure to carbon monoxide, a chemical known to the State of California to cause reproductive harm. Exposure can be minimized by properly venting the oven to the outdoors during the self-clean cycle, by opening a window and/or door in the room where the appliance is located. WARNING All ranges can tip and injury could result. To reduce the risk of tipping of the appliance from abnormal usage by excessive loading of the oven door, the appliance must be secured to wall and floor by installing the Anti-Tip device supplied. 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 the Installation Manual. To check if the device is properly installed and engaged, look underneath the range with a flashlight to make sure one of the rear leveling legs is properly engaged in the bracket slot.
