IMPORTANT WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, eectrica shock, injury to persons, or damage when using the range, foow basic precautions, incuding the foowing: 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. CAUTION - Do not store items of interest to chidren in cabinets above a range or on the backguard of a range -chidren cimbing on the range to reach items coud be seriousy injured. Proper Instaation - The range, when instaed, must be eectricay grounded in accordance with oca codes or, in the absence of oca codes, with the Nationa Eectrica Code, ANSVNFPA 70. Be sure the range is propery instaed and grounded by a quaified technician. *This range is equipped with a three-prong grounding pug for your protection against shock hazard and shoud be pugged directy into a propery grounded receptace.
