ANTI-TIP DEVICE
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:
■
Use this appliance only for its intended purpose
as described in this Owner's Manual.
■
Be sure your appliance is properly installed
and grounded by a qualified technician in
accordance with the provided installation
instructions.
■
Do not attempt to repair or replace any
part of your range unless it is specifically
recommended in this manual. All other
servicing should be referred to a qualified
technician.
■
Before performing any service, disconnect
the range power supply at the household
distribution panel by removing the fuse
or switching off the circuit breaker.

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,
remove the storage drawer or kick panel and look
underneath the range to see that the leveling leg is engaged
in the bracket. On models without a storage drawer or kick
panel, 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.
Never completely remove the leveling legs or the range will
not be secured to the anti-tip device properly.
If you did not receive an anti-tip bracket with your
purchase, call 1.800.626.8774 to receive one at no
cost (in Canada, call 1.800.561.3344). For installation
instructions of the bracket, visit GEAppliances.com
(in Canada, GEAppliances.ca).
■
Do not leave children alone—children should
not be left alone or unattended in an area
where an appliance is in use. They should
never be allowed to sit or stand on any part
of the appliance.
■
Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang
on the door, storage drawer, or cooktop. They
could damage the range and even tip it over,
causing severe personal injury.
■
Do not store flammable materials in an oven
or near the cooktop.
CAUTION:
■
children should not be stored in cabinets
above a range or on the backsplash of
a range—children climbing on the range
to reach items could be seriously injured.
