INSTALLING THE RANGE

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

Take special care when drilling holes in the floor or wall. Electrical wires may be behind the wall or floor covering and could cause an electrical shock if you touch them.

Locate the electrical circuits that could be af- fected by the installation of the anti-tip bracket and turn off power to these circuits.

Personal Injury Hazard

To reduce the risk of tipping of the range, the range must be secured by a properly installed floor-mounted anti-tip bracket, supplied with the range.

If range is moved to a new location, the anti-tip bracket must be reinstalled in the new location.

Because of the weight and size of this range, two or more people are required to move it.

Do not use the handle for lifting.

Failure to follow these instructions could result in injury.
