To reduce the risk of the appliance tipping, it must be secured by a properly installed anti-tip bracket(s). To make sure bracket has been installed properly, remove the storage drawer and look under the range with a flashlight. Bracket(s) must be engaged in the rear corner of the range.

• ALL RANGES CAN TIP

• INJURY TO PERSONS COULD RESULT

• INSTALL ANTI-TIP BRACKET(S) PACKED WITH RANGE

• SEE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

To avoid personal injury, do not sit, stand or lean on oven door or oven drawer.

WARNING

To avoid risk of electrical shock, personal injury, or death, make sure your range has been properly grounded and always disconnect it from main power supply before any servicing.

WARNING

To avoid personal injury or property damage, do not use grill or griddle if fan is not in operation. In unlikely event fan is not operating properly contact an authorized service technician.

ALL APPLIANCES

1. Proper Installation - Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician.

2. Never Use Your Appliance for Warming or Heating the Room.

3. Do Not Leave Children Alone - Children should not be alone or unattended in the area where the appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.

4. Wear Protective Apparel - Loose fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while using appliance.

5. User Servicing - Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recommended in the manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.

6. Storage in or on Appliance - Flammable materials should not be stored in an oven or near surface units.

7. Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires - Smother fire or flame, or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

8. Use Only Dry Potholders - Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholder touch elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.

SURFACE COOKING UNITS

1. Use Proper Pan Size - This appliance 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.

2. Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High Heat Settings - Boilover causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.

3. 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.

4. Protective Liners - Do not use aluminum foil to line drip bowls or oven bottoms except as suggested in the manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in a risk of electrical shock, or fire.

5. Glazed Cooking Utensils - Only certain types of glass, ceramic, earthware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for range top service without breaking due to sudden change in temperature.

Important Safety Information

6. 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.

7. Do Not Soak Removable Heating Elements - Heating elements should never be immersed in water.

OVENS

1. Use Care When Opening Door - Let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing food.

2. Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers - Build-up of pressure may cause container to burst and result in injury.

3. Keep Oven Vents Ducts Unobstructed.

4. Placement of Oven Racks - Always place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. If rack is removed while oven is hot, do not let potholder contact hot heating element in oven.

SELF-CLEANING OVENS

1. 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.

2. 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 liner.

3. Clean Only Parts Listed in Manual.

4. Before Self-Cleaning the Oven - Remove broiler pan and other utensils.

GLASS/CERAMIC COOKING SURFACES

1. Do Not Cook on Broken Cooktop - If cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electrical shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.

2. Clean Cooktop With Caution - If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid a steam burn. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.

VENTILATION HOODS

1. Clean Ventilation Hoods Frequently - Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on hood or filter.

2. When flaming foods under hood, turn fan off. The fan, if operating, may spread the flame.

In Case of Fire

Fires can occur as a result of over cooking or excessive grease. Though a fire is unlikely, if one occurs, proceed

as follows:

Surface Element Fire

1. Smother the fire with a nonflammable lid or baking soda, or use a Class ABC or BC extinguisher. Not water. Not salt. Not flour.

2. As soon as it is safe to do so, turn the surface controls to “OFF”.

Oven Fires

1. If you see smoke from your oven, do not open oven door.

2. Turn oven control to “OFF”.

3. As an added precaution, turn off power at main circuit breaker or fuse box.

4. Turn on vent to remove smoke.

5. Allow food or grease to burn itself out in oven.

6. If smoke and fire persist, call fire department.

7. If there is any damage to components, call your repair service before using range.

Precautions

• Do not cook food directly on range top surface,

always use cookware.

• Do not mix household cleaning products. Chemical

mixtures may interact with objectionable or even hazardous results.

• Do not put plastic items on warm cooking areas.

They may stick and melt.

• Do not slide rough metal objects across range top

surface. Scratching or metal marking can result.

• Do not use cookware with rough bottoms. They

may scratch element surface. Glass and ceramic cookware can be used on coil elements.

• Do not use damp sponge or dishcloth to clean

range top. A film of soil-laden detergent water may collect on range top. If this should happen, Amana ASAP® Cleaner Conditioner removes this type of stain.

• Do not leave fat heating unless you remain nearby.

Fat can ignite if overheated by spilling onto hot surfaces.

• Do not allow pots to boil dry on high settings as

this can cause damage to cooking surface and pan.

• Do not use range top surface as a cutting board.

Installation

Range Location

Choose a location based on following factors.

• Range is designed to be vented outdoors.

• Electrical rating is 12.5 KW, 120/240 V, 60 Hz.

• Drafts caused by home heating and air conditioning and open doors or windows can disrupt ventilation air pattern. Range should not be installed near windows or doors.

• Range can not be installed in a tunnel type wall opening. Air currents moving through tunnel can disrupt ventilation air pattern.

• Range can either be ducted through wall or through floor to outside.

• Make sure there is adequate space for proper installation.

• Carefully read all instructions before beginning installation.

Remove protective packing materials from range. Tape residue can be cleaned with a soft cloth and alcohol.

Cabinet Opening

WARNING

To avoid risk of burns or fire by reaching over elements, cabinet storage space located above range should be avoided.

Minimum Clearances to Combustible Surfaces

• Minimum clearance to rear wall is 0 inches.

• Minimum clearance to a vertical right or left side wall is 3 inches.

• Minimum clearance to counter top/cabinet on each side is 0 inches.

• Minimum of 30 inches between top of cooking surface and bottom of an unprotected wood or metal cabinet.

Range should extend approximately 11/2 inch from cabinet front to oven door handle. Remove venting kit from storage drawer. Using dimensions in figure below and shown in Special Counter top Conditions section to prepare cabinet opening. Range Dimensions:

WIDTH - 2915/16 inches DEPTH - 28 inches HEIGHT - 36 inches

Standard Cabinet and Counter top Height

301/8"

Special Counter Top Conditions

Irregular Cabinet and Counter top Heights Counter tops such as ceramic tile tops cause cabinet and counter top to be higher than 36 inches. Follow instructions below when counter top is higher than 36 inches.

1. Raise leveling legs to maximum level.

2. Measure from floor to side trim. If measurement is less than height of counter top floor must be shimmed.

3. Shim floor using a piece of plywood same size as range opening. Secure plywood to floor. Plywood must be as secure as original flooring.

4. Install anti-tip bracket and slide range into place.

Island or Peninsula Installation

Island or peninsula installations with 24 inches deep base cabinets must use flush back cabinets with no rear toe space to avoid range interference. If a rear toe space is desired, use 27 inches or deeper base cabinets.

Slide-in Installation

Backrail

Backwall Duct Location

1. Locate studs in wall.

2. Measure and cut an opening for thimble as illustrated in figure below. Cutout should be 61/8 inch diameter circle.

3. Ducting is completed in Backwall Duct Connection section.

1-3/4"

• For a manufactured counter top, with or without a backsplash, make cutout keeping rear dimension as illustrated. The backrail on back of range slides over manufactured counter top creating a tight fit.

• Backrail may not reach backwall because of counter top. Corner of backrail can be clipped off with a pair of wire cutters for a tighter fit.

Duct Requirements

• Duct should be 6 inch round metal ducting. Island or peninsula installations may require 31/4 X 10 inch duct.

• To ensure proper ventilation, duct work must not exceed 60 equivalent feet.

• Curved fittings should not account for more than 50% of duct length.

• Flexible duct is not recommended because of irregular interior surface. If flexible duct is to be used, one foot is equal to 2 feet of metal duct. NEVER USE PLASTIC TYPE DRYER DUCTING.

• Do not vent into an attic or crawl space. Duct range outside.

• Flexible duct elbows are equal to twice as many feet as smooth metal elbows.

• Never install two elbow fittings next to each other. Two elbows installed together create a poor vent path and insufficient ventilation.

• Seal all duct joints tightly using duct tape. Openings left in ducting allow smoke and odor to escape inside house.

• For best performance, do not use over three 90° elbows.

• 6 inch transition duct provided must be mechanically secured to exhaust blower outlet. Secure transition duct using two screws provided.

4-5/16"

Floor Duct Location

1. Locate studs in floor.

2. Measure to locate center of floor duct location. See figure below.

• For installation with counter top or backsplash

behind range, measure 131/8 inches for dimension “A”

• For installation without counter top or backsplash

behind range, measure 115/8 inches for dimension “A”.

3. Cut an opening for floor transition piece as illustrated in figure below. Cutout should be 71/4 x 71/4 inches square. If opening is not correctly aligned, duct does not connect properly.

4. Ducting is completed in Floor Duct Connection section.

107/8"

Duct Length

Maximum allowable duct length is 60 equivalent feet.

• Use Recommended Standard Fittings in figures below to calculate duct length.

• Flexible duct is not recommended. However, if it is used, one foot is equal to two feet of smooth metal duct.
