IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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.
• Gas appliances can cause minor exposure
to four of these substances,
namely benzene,
carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and soot,
caused primarily by the incomplete
combustion of natural gas or LP fuels.
Properly adjusted burners, indicated by a
bluish rather than a yellow flame, will minimize
incomplete combustion. Exposure to these
substances can be minimized by venting
with an open window or using a ventilation
fan or hood.
IMPORTANT:
The health of some birds is
extremely sensitive to the fumes given off
during the self-cleaning cycle of any oven.
Move birds to another well-ventilated room.
WARNING:
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
When using your appliance, follow basic
safety precautions, including the following:
• Have the installer show you the location of
the range gas shut-off valve and how to turn
it off if necessary.
• Be sure all packing materials are removed
from the range
before operating it to prevent
fire or smoke damage should the packing
material ignite.
• After prolonged use of a range, high floor
temperatures may result and many floor
coverings will not withstand this kind of use.
Never install the range over vinyl tile or
linoleum that cannot withstand such use.
Never install it directly over interior kitchen
carpeting.
• Locate the range out of kitchen traffic path
and out of drafty locations and areas with
poor air circulation.
WARNING:
• All ranges can tip.
• BURNS or other SERIOUS
INJURIES can result.
• INSTALL and CHECK the
anti-tip bracket following the
instructions supplied with the
bracket.
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.
If your range has no anti-tip bracket, call
1.800.626.8774 to receive one at no cost.
