Installation Instructions
WARNING!
ANTI-TIP DEVICE
All ranges can tip and injury could result.
To prevent accidental tipping of the range,
attach an approved Anti-Tip device to the
wall. (See
Installing the Anti-Tip Device
in this
section.) To check if the device is installed and
engaged properly, carefully tip the range
forward. The Anti-Tip device should engage
and prevent the range from tipping over.
If you pull the range out from the wall for
any reason, make sure the Anti-Tip device
is engaged when you push the range back
against the wall.
■
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.
Take the accessory pack out of the oven and/or drawer.
Check to be sure that no range parts have come loose
during shipping.
