WARNING!
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
manual.) 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.
ANTI-TIP DEVICE
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.)
