Important Safety Instructions
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons when using the appliance, follow basic precautions, including the following:
- Read all instructions before using the appliance.
- Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
- Do not use this appliance as a space heater.
- Never use the appliance for warming or heating the room.
- Do not leave children alone or unattended in an area where the appliance is in use.

Setup and Installation
Unpacking
Carefully remove all packaging materials, tape, and protective film from the range. Retain packaging for potential future transport. Inspect the range for any shipping damage.
Location Requirements

Gas and Electrical Connections
Installation of the gas and electrical connections must be performed by a qualified installer or service technician. Ensure the gas supply is compatible with the range (natural gas or LP gas, conversion kit may be required for LP). The range requires a 120V, 60Hz, properly grounded electrical outlet.
Anti-Tip Bracket Installation
The anti-tip bracket is a critical safety device. It must be securely installed to the wall or floor and engaged with the range to prevent accidental tipping. Refer to the separate installation instructions for detailed steps.
