IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury to
persons, or damage when using the range, follow basic
precautions, including the following:
WARNING:
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF TIPPING OF THE
RANGE, THE RANGE MUST BE SECURED BY PROPERLY
INSTALLED ANTI-TIP DEVICES. TO CHECK IF THE DEVICES
ARE INSTALLED PROPERLY, SLIDE RANGE FORWARD, LOOK
FOR ANTI-TIP BRACKET SECURELY ATTACHED TO FLOOR,
AND SLIDE RANGE BACK SO REAR RANGE FOOT IS UNDER
ANTI-TIP BRACKET.
WARNING:
NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to
heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide
poisoning and overheating of the oven.
WARNING:
NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in the
oven bottom or cover an entire rack with materials such as
aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the oven and may
cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may also
trap heat, causing a fire hazard.
CAUTION:
Do not store items of interest to children in cabinets
above a range or on the backguard of a range – children climbing
on the range to reach items could be seriously injured.
Proper Installation – The range, when installed, must be electrically
grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of
local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70. In
Canada, the range must be electrically grounded in accordance
with Canadian Electrical Code. Be sure the range is properly
installed and grounded by a qualified technician.
