This is taken care of by the first step in its definition:

"If the context object is empty, throw an InvalidStateError exception and abort
these steps."

since the definition of "empty" is

"Each selection can be associated with a single range (defined in [DOM4]). When
there is no range associated with the selection, the selection is empty. The
selection must be initially empty."
