Installation Instructions

WARNING!

ANTI-TIP DEVICE

To reduce the risk of tipping the range, the range must be secured by a properly installed anti-tip bracket. See installation instructions shipped with the bracket for complete details before attempting to install.

To check if the bracket is installed and engaged properly, carefully tip the range forward. The bracket should stop the range within 4 inches. If it does not, the bracket must be reinstalled. If the range is pulled from the wall for any reason, always repeat this procedure to verify the range is properly secured by the anti-tip bracket.

For free-standing or slide-in ranges, never completely remove the leveling legs or the range will not be secured to the anti-tip device properly.

If you did not receive an anti-tip bracket with your purchase, call 1-800-626-8774 to receive one at no cost (in Canada, call 1-800-561-3344). For installation instructions of the bracket, visit GEAppliances.com (in Canada, GEAppliances.ca).

For your safety, never use your range for warming or heating the room. Your oven and cooktop are not designed to heat your kitchen. Top burners should not be operated without cookware on the grate. Such abuse could result in fire and damage to your range and will void your warranty.

Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance. Explosions or fires could result.

Do not use oven for a storage area. Items stored in the oven can ignite.

Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate in or near the range.

LOCATION

Do not locate the range where it may be subject to strong drafts. Any openings in the floor or wall behind the range should be sealed. Make sure the openings around the base of the range that supply fresh air for combustion and ventilation are not obstructed by carpeting or woodwork.

Your range, like many other household items, is heavy and can settle into soft floor coverings such as cushioned vinyl or carpeting. Use care when moving the range

on this type of flooring. It is recommended that the following simple and inexpensive instructions be followed to protect your floor.

The range should be installed on a sheet of plywood (or similar material). When the floor covering ends at the front of the range, the area that the range will rest on should be built up with plywood to the same level or higher than the floor covering.

This will allow the range to be moved for cleaning or servicing. Also, make sure your floor covering will withstand 180°F. (See the Installation Safety Instructions section.)

Make sure the wall coverings around your range can withstand the heat generated (up to 200°F) by the range. (See the Installation Safety Instructions section.)

IMPORTANT!

Remove all tape and packaging. Make sure the burners are properly seated and level.

Lift up the cooktop (on models with standard twin burners) and remove any packing material under it.

Take the accessory pack out of the oven and/or drawer.

Check to be sure that no range parts have come loose during shipping.
