BULB COVER

Maintenance

Oven Door

CAUTION

• Do not place excessive weight on or stand on an open oven

 

door. This could cause the range to tip over, break the door,

 

or injure the user.

Do not attempt to open or close door or operate oven until

 

door is properly replaced.

Never place fingers between hinge and front oven frame.

 

Hinge arms are spring mounted. If accidentally hit, the hinge

 

will slam shut against oven frame and could injure your

 

fingers.

Leveling Legs

CAUTION

Be sure the anti-tip bracket secures one of the rear leveling legs to the floor. This bracket pre- vents the range from accidentally tipping.

The range should be leveled when installed. If the range is not level, turn the plastic leveling legs, located at each corner of the range, until range is level.
