Anti-Tip Bracket

Range Foot

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.

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

WARN(NG: 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.

[] 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 - Be sure the range is properly installed

and grounded by a qualified technician.

[] Never Use the Range for Warming or Heating the Room. [] Do Not Leave Children Alone - Children should not be left

alone or unattended in area where the range is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the range.

[] Wear Proper Apparel- Loose-fitting or hanging garments

should never be worn while using the range.

[] User Servicing - Do not repair or replace any part of the

range unless specifically recommended in the manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.

[] Storage in or on the Range - Flammable materials should

not be stored in an oven or near surface units.

[] Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires - Smother fire or flame

or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

[] Use Only Dry Potholders - Moist or damp potholders on

hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.

[] DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR

UNITS - Surface units may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near surface units may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch,

or let clothing or other flammable materials contact surface units or areas near units until they have had sufficient time to cool. Among those areas are the cooktop and surfaces

facing the cooktop.

[] Use Proper Pan Size - The range is equipped with one or

more surface units of different size. Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating

element. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the heating element to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to

burner will also improve efficiency.

[] Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High Heat

Settings - Boilover causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.

[] Make Sure Reflector Pans or Drip Bowls Are in Place -

Absence of these pans or bowls during cooking may subject wiring or components underneath to damage.

[] Protective Liners - Do not use aluminum foil to line surface

unit drip bowls or oven bottoms, except as suggested in

the manual. Improper installation of these liners may result

in a risk of electric shock, or fire.

[] Glazed Cooking Utensils - Only certain types of glass,

glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for range-top service without breaking

due to the sudden change in temperature.

[] Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extend

Over Adjacent Surface Units - To reduce the risk of burns,

ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of a utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and

does not extend over adjacent surface units.

[] Do Not Soak Removable Heating Elements - Heating

elements should never be immersed in water.

[] Do Not Cook on Broken Cooktop - If cooktop should

break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Contact

a qualified technician immediately.

[] Clean Cooktop With Caution - If a wet sponge or cloth is

used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burn. Some cleaners can produce noxious

fumes if applied to a hot surface.

[] Use Care When Opening Door - Let hot air or steam

escape before removing or replacing food.

[] Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers - Build-up of

pressure may cause container to burst and result in injury. [] Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed. [] Placement of Oven Racks - Always place oven racks in

desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved

while oven is hot, do not let potholder contact hot heating

element in oven. [] DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR

SURFACES OF OVEN - Heating elements may be hot even

though they are dark in color. Interior surfaces of an oven

become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use,

do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials

contact heating elements or interior surfaces of oven until they have had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the

appliance may become hot enough to cause burns - among

these surfaces are oven vent openings and surfaces near these openings, oven doors, and windows of oven doors.

For self-cleaning ranges - [] Do Not Clean Door Gasket - The door gasket is essential

for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage,

or move the gasket. [] Do Not Use Oven Cleaners - No commercial oven cleaner

or oven liner protective coating of any kind should be used

in or around any part of the oven. [] Clean Only Parts Listed in Manual. [] Before Self-Cleaning the Oven - Remove broiler pan and

other utensils. For units with ventilating hood -

[] Clean Ventilating Hoods Frequently - Grease should not

be allowed to accumulate on hood or filter. [] When flambeing foods under the hood, turn the fan on.

COOKTOPUSE

Hot Surface Indicator Light On ceramic glass models, the hot surface indicator light is located

on the console panel. The hot surface indicator light will glow as long as any surface

cooking area is too hot to touch, even after the surface cooking area is turned off.

Fire Hazard

Turn off all controls when done cooking.

Failure to do so can result in death or fire.

The control knobs can be set to anywhere between HI and LO.

Push in and turn to setting.

REMEMBER: When range is in use or (on some models) during the Self-Cleaning cycle, the entire cooktop area may

become hot.

Ceramic Glass (on some models) The surface cooking area will glow red when an element is on. It

may cycle on and off to maintain the selected heat level.

Use cookware about the same size as the surface cooking area. Cookware should not extend more than 1/2"(1.3 cm) outside the area.

Cleaning off the cooktop before and after each use will help keep it free from stains and provide the most even heating.

Coil Elements and Burner Bowls (on some models) Coil elements should be level for optimal cooking results. Burner

bowls, when clean, reflect heat back to the cookware. They also help catch spills.

Cookware should not extend more than 1/2"(1.3 cm) over the coil element. If cookware is uneven or too large, it can produce excess heat, causing the burner bowl to change color.

Dual Cooking Zone (on some models) The Dual Cooking Zone offers flexibility depending on the size of

the cookware. Single size can be used inthe same way as a regular element. The dual size combines both the single and outer element and is recommended for larger size cookware.

IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the oven bottom

finish, do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil, liners or cookware.

IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the porcelain finish,

do not place food or bakeware directly on the oven door or bottom.

Bakeware

To cook food evenly, hot air must be able to circulate. Allow 2" (5 cm) of space around bakeware and oven walls. Make sure

that no bakeware piece is directly over another.

Racks

• Position racks before turning on the oven.

• Do not move racks with bakeware on them.

• Make sure racks are level.

For best cooking results, do not cover entire oven rack with foil because air must be able to move freely.

To move a rack, pull it out to the stop position, raise the front edge, and then lift out. Use the following illustration and charts as a

guide.

A. Oven vent (ceramic glass model) A. Oven vent (coil element model)

The oven vent releases hot air and moisture from the oven, and should not be blocked or covered. Blocking or covering the vent

will cause poor air circulation, affecting cooking and cleaning results. Do not set plastics, paper or other items that could melt or burn near the oven vent.

On coil element models, the element can be used when the oven is in use as long as the cookware does not extend more than

1/2'(1.3 cm) over the element.

The bake and broil burners cycle on and off in intervals. This feature is automatically activated when the oven is in use.

Before baking and roasting, position racks according to "Positioning Racks and Bakeware" section. When roasting, it is not

necessary to wait for the oven preheat cycle to end before putting food in unless it is recommended in the recipe.

Broiling uses direct radiant heat to cook food. Changing the temperature when Custom Broiling allows more precise control when cooking. The lower the temperature, the slower the cooking. Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish and poultry

may cook better at lower broiling temperatures.

• For best results, use a broiler pan and grid. It is designed to

drain juices and help avoid spatter and smoke. Ifyou would like to purchase a broiler pan, one may be ordered.

Please refer to the cover for contact information. Ask for Part Number 4396923.
