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.

To prevent accidental tipping of the range, secure the attached Anti-Tip bracket under the rear countertop.

If the Anti-Tip device supplied with the range does not fit this application, use the universal Anti-Tip device WB2X7909.

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 shipped with the device and in this manual. Failure to take this precaution could result in tipping of the range and injury.

■Before performing any service, disconnect the range power supply at the household distribution panel by removing the fuse or switching off the circuit breaker.

■Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while using the appliance. Be careful when reaching for items stored over the range. Flammable material could be ignited if brought in contact with hot surface units or heating elements and may cause severe burns.

■Use only dry pot holders—moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let pot holders touch hot surface units or heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of pot holders.
