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
or explosion, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic
Enforcement Act requires the Governor of
California to publish a list of substances known
to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm, and requires businesses to
warn customers of potential exposure to such
substances.
The fiberglass insulation in self-clean ovens gives
off a very small amount of carbon monoxide
during the cleaning cycle. Exposure can be
minimized by venting with an open window
or using a ventilation fan or hood.
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:
■
Use this appliance only for its intended purpose
as described in this Owner’s Manual.
■
Be sure your appliance is properly installed
and grounded by a qualified technician in
accordance with the provided installation
instructions.
■
Do not attempt to repair or replace any
part of your range unless it is specifically
recommended in this manual. All other
servicing should be referred to a qualified
technician.
■
Before performing any service, disconnect
the range power supply at the household
distribution panel by removing the fuse
or switching off the circuit breaker.
■
Do not leave children alone—children should
not be left alone or unattended in an area
where an appliance is in use. They should
never be allowed to sit or stand on any part
of the appliance.
■
Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang
on the oven door, drawer or cooktop. They
could damage the range and even tip it over,
causing severe personal injury.
■
Do not store flammable materials in an oven
or near the cooktop.
■
CAUTION:
Items of interest to
children should not be stored in cabinets
above a range or on the backsplash of a
range—children climbing on the range to
reach items could be seriously injured.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
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).
