The Anti-Tip Bracket
The range will not tip during normal use. However, the range can tip if you apply too much force or weight to the open door
without the anti-tip bracket fastened down properly.
WARNING
Tip Over Hazard
A child or adult can tip the range and be killed.
Connect anti-tip bracket to rear range foot.
Reconnect the anti-tip bracket, if the range is moved.
See the installation instructions for details.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious burns to children
and adults.
Anti-Tip Bracket
Making sure the anti-tip bracket is installed:
• Slide range forward.
• Look for the anti-tip bracket securely attached to floor.
• Slide range back so rear range foot is under anti-tip bracket.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
■
■
■
Disconnect the electrical supply before servicing the
appliance.
Never Use the Range for Warming or Heating the
Room.
Injuries may result from the misuse of appliance doors
or drawers such as stepping, leaning, or sitting on the
doors or drawers.
Maintenance – Keep range area clear and free from
combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable
vapors and liquids.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical
shock, injury to persons, or damage when using the
range, follow basic precautions, including the
following:
■
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
TIPPING OF THE RANGE, THE RANGE MUST BE
SECURED BY PROPERLY INSTALLED ANTI-TIP
DEVICES. TO CHECK IF THE DEVICES ARE
INSTALLED PROPERLY, SLIDE RANGE FORWARD,
LOOK FOR ANTI-TIP BRACKET SECURELY
ATTACHED TO FLOOR, AND SLIDE RANGE BACK
SO REAR RANGE FOOT IS UNDER ANTI-TIP
BRACKET.
■
■
■
Storage in or on the Range – Flammable materials
should not be stored in an oven or near surface units.
Top burner flame size should be adjusted so it does
not extend beyond the edge of the cooking utensil.
■
■
CAUTION: Do not store items of interest to
children in cabinets above a range or on the
backguard of a range – children climbing on the
range to reach items could be seriously injured.
Proper Installation – The range, when installed, must
be electrically grounded in accordance with local
codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.Be sure the
range is properly installed and grounded by a
qualified technician.
For self-cleaning ranges –
■
Before Self-Cleaning the Oven – Remove broiler pan
and other utensils. Wipe off all excessive spillage
before initiating the cleaning cycle.
■
This range is equipped with a three-prong grounding
plug for your protection against shock hazard and
should be plugged directly into a properly grounded
receptacle. Do not cut or remove the grounding prong
from this plug.

Power failure
In case of prolonged power failure, the surface burners can be lit
manually. Hold a lit match near a burner and turn knob
counterclockwise to LIGHT. After burner lights, turn knob to
setting.
BEFORE USING
Odors are normal when the range is new. This happens the first
time the oven is used.
REMEMBER: When range is in use or during the
Self-Cleaning cycle, the entire cooktop area may
become hot.
IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to
the fumes given off. Exposure to the fumes may result in death to
certain birds. Always move birds to another closed and well
ventilated room.
Surface Burners
COOKTOP USE
IMPORTANT: Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and
ventilation air around the burner grate edges.
Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and the oven and
cooktop are cool. Do not use oven cleaners, bleach or rust
removers.

WARNING
SEALED SURFACE BURNERS (on some models)
Burner cap: Always keep the burner cap in place when using a

calibration can be adjusted. It can be changed in Fahrenheit only.
Display
When power is first supplied to the appliance, everything on the
display will light up for 5 seconds. Then “PF” will appear on the
display.
A minus sign means the oven will be cooler by the displayed
amount. No sign means the oven will be warmer by the displayed
amount. Use the following chart as a guide.
