Remove all tape and packaging wrap before using the range. Destroy the carton and plastic bags after
unpacking the range. Never allow children to play with packaging material.
Proper Installation--Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician in
accordance with CSA C22.1 PART 1-- latest edition and local code requirements, install only per installation in-
structions provided inthe literature package for this range.
Ask your dealer to recommend a qualified technician and an authorized repair service. Know how to disconnect the
electrical power to the range at the circuit breaker or fuse box in case of an emergency.
User Servicing -- Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recommended in the
manuals. All other servicing should be done only by a qualified technician to reduce the risk of personal injury
and damage to the range.
Never modify or alter the construction of a range by removing panels, wire covers or any other part of the
product.
Stepping, leaning or sitting on the door or
drawer of this range can result in serious injuries and may also cause damage to the range. Do not allow children
to climb or play around the range. The weight of a child on an open door may cause the range to tip, resulting in serious
burns or other injury.
Do not use the oven or warmer drawer (if
equipped) for storage. = Storage in or on Appliance -- Flammable materials
should not be stored in an oven, near surface units orin the storage drawer. This includes paper, plastic and cloth
items, such as cookbooks, plasticware and towels, as well as flammable liquids. Do not store explosives, such as
aerosol cans, on or near the range. Flammable materials may explode and result infire or property damage.
Do not store items of interest to children
in the cabinets above a range or on the backguard of a
range. Children climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously injured.
Do not leave children alone. Children should not be left alone or unattended in the area where an appliance
is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.
DO NOTTOUCH SURFACE UNITS, AREAS NEARTHESE UNITS, OVEN HEATING ELEMENTS OR iNTERiOR SUR-
FACES OF THE OVEN OR WARMER DRAWER (if equipped). Both surface units and oven heating elements
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 touch these areas until they have had
sufficient time to cool. Among these areas are the cooktop, surfaces facing the cooktop, the oven vent openings and
surfaces near these openings, oven door and window.
Wear Proper Apparel -- Loose-fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while using the
appliance. Do not let clothing or other flammable materials contact hot surfaces.
Never use your appliance for warming or
heating the room.
Do Not Use Water or Flour on Grease Fires--Smother the fire with a pan lid, or use baking soda, a dry
chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Fat or grease may catch fire ifallowed to become too hot.
Use Only Dry Potholders-- Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result inburns from steam. Do not
let the potholders touch hot heating surface units or interior oven elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth
instead of a potholder.
Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers--Build-up of pressure may cause the container to burst and result
in injury.
Remove the oven door from any unused range if it is to be stored or discarded.
IMPORTANT--Do not attempt to operate the oven
during a power failure. If the power fails, always turn the oven off. If the oven is not turned off and the power resumes, the oven will begin to operate again. Food left
unattended could catch fire or spoil.
Electronic controllers can be damaged by cold temperatures. When you use your range for the first time, or if it has not been used for a long period of
time, make sure that it has been exposed to a tempera- ture above 0°C/32°F for at least 3 hours before connect-
ing it to the power supply.
iMPORTANT iNSTRUCTiONS FOR USING YOUR COOKTOP
Know which knob controls each surface heating unit.
Use Proper Pan Size -- This appliance is equipped with one or more surface units of different sizes. Select utensils
having fiat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the
surface heating unit to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to the
surface unit will also improve efficiency.
Utensil Handles Should BeTurned inward and Should 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.
= Never Leave Surface Units Unattended -- Boilovers
cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.
Do Not immerse or Soak Removable Heating Elements
-- Heating elements should never be immersed in water. Heating elements clean themselves during normal operation.
Glazed Cooking Utensils -- Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed
utensils are suitable for rangetop service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the
manufacturer's recommendations for rangetop use.
Placement of Oven Racks. Always place oven racks in
desired location while oven iscool. Remove all utensils from the rack before removing rack. If rack must be moved while
oven is hot, use extreme caution. Use potholders and grasp the rack with both hands to reposition. Do not let potholders
contact the hot oven element or interiorof the oven.
Do not use the broiler pan without its insert. The broiler pan and grid allow dripping fat to drain and be kept away
from the high heat of the broiler.
Do not cover the broiler grid with aluminum foil. Exposed fat and grease could ignite.
Do not touch a hot light bulb with a damp cloth. Doing so could cause the bulb to break. Disconnect the range or
turn off the power to the range before removing and
replacing light bulb.
Protective Liners -- Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottom or any other part of the range. Only use aluminum foil
as recommended for baking if used as a cover placed on the food. Any other use of protective liners or aluminum foil may
result in a risk of electric shock or fire or a short circuit.
SELF=CLEANING OVENS
Clean in the self=cleaning cycle only the parts of the
oven listed in this owner's guide. Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the broiler pan and any utensils stored in
the oven.
FOR CERAMIC GLASS COOKTOP MODELS
Do Not Clean or Operate a 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 -- Ifa 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 harmful fumes ifapplied to a hot surface.
Avoid scratching the cooktop glass with sharp objects.
iMPORTANT iNSTRUCTiONS FOR USING
YOUR OVEN
Use Care When Opening Door-- Stand to the side of the
range when opening the door of a hot oven. Lethot air or steam
escape before you remove or replace food inthe oven.
Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed. The oven is vented
between thecooktop and the backguard.Touching the surfaces in this area when the oven is operating may cause severe
burns. Also, do not place plastic or heat-sensitive itemson or near the oven vent.These itemscould melt or ignite.
Do not clean the oven door gasket. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket.
Do not use oven cleaners. No oven cleaner or oven liner protectivecoatingofany kindshould be usedinoraroundanypart
of the oven.
Remove oven racks. Oven racks colour will change if left inthe oven during a self-cleaning cycle.
The health of some birds is extremely
sensitive to the fumes given off during the self=clean cycle of any range. Move birds to another well venti=
lated room.
iMPORTANT iNSTRUCTiONS FOR CLEANING YOUR RANGE
Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of grease
that could catch fire. Exhaust fan ventilation hoods and grease filters should be kept clean. Do not allow grease to
accumulate. Greasy deposits in the fan could catch fire.
Refer to the hood manufacturer's instructions for cleaning.
installation and service must be performed bya qualified technician:
iMPORTANT: Save for the local electrical inspector's use.

Follow alldimension requirements provided above to prevent property damage, Potential fire hazard, and incorrectcountertop and cabinet cuts.
To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching over heated surface units, cabinet storage space located above the surface units should be avoided, if cabinet storage is to be provided, the risk can be reduced by installing a range hood that projects horizontally a minimum of 12.7 cm (5") beyond the bottom of the cabinets.
Electrical Connection Requirements Plug the range cable (4 conductors) intoa 4 conductor range outlet. Outlet must be properly grounded and inaccordance with the Canadian Electrical Code (CSA Stan- dard (C22.1 Part 1 -- latest edition) -- and any local electrical code requirements.
Location
Set your new range 1.3 cm (1/2") away from the rear wall and lineit up with the kitchen counters. Make sure there isat least 1.3 cm (1/2") of clearance between each side of the range and the kitchen counters. Allow 7.6 cm (3") min. clearance between your range and the refrigerator, if they are side by side.
Circuit Protection (Models with electric oulet(s)) As a protection against surcharge, a 15 amp, 120 volt breaker isprovided for each of the electric outlet(s) (2 max.) located on
top or underneath of the control panel. Models with no electric outlet have no breaker.
Leveling
For good baking results, your range should be level. Screw type leveling legs are provided at each corner of the range at the base. Remove the storage drawer to adjust the leveling legs. (Refer to Storage Drawer section).
1. Use a 1-1/4" open end key oran adjustable wrench to equally unscrew the four leveling legs two to three turns each.
2. install an oven rack in the center of the oven.
_ 3. Move the range to itsfinal position, then put a spirit level on the rack to
check for levelness. Take two readings, one with the level placed

DO NOT use the surface element in self-clean mode. During the self-clean cycle, the surface elements,
when used, are subjected to high heat. To ensure maximum element life, do not use the surface element during a self-clean cycle.
Models with Ceramic Glass Cooktop (Some models)
About the Ceramic Glass Cooktop
The ceramic cooktop has radiant surface elements located below the surface ofthe glass. The design of the ceramic cooktop outlines the area of the surface element underneath. Make sure the diameter of the pan matches the diameter of the element outline on the cooktop (See Figure 1). Heat is transferred up through the surface of the cooktop tothe cookware. Only flat-bottom cookware should be used. The type and size of cookware, the number of surface elements in use and their settings, are allfactors that will affect the amount of heat that will spread to areas beyond the surface elements. The areas surrounding the elements may become hot enough to cause burns. The cooktop should not be used as acutting board or work surface. Dropping heavy or hard objects on the cooktop may crack it. Pans with rough bottoms may scratch the cooktop surface. Placing foods directly on the smoothtop surface (without cooking utensils) is not recommended as difficult cleaning will result and foods may smoke and cause a potential fire hazard.
About the Radiant Surface Elements The element temperature rises gradually and evenly. As the temperature
Element Configuration, appearance and
graphics of cooktops may be different
rises, the element will glow red. To maintain the selected setting, the element will cycle on and off. The heating element retains enough heat to provide a uniform and consistent heat during the off cycle. For efficient cooking, turn off the element several minutes before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to complete the cooking process.
Locations of the Radiant Surface Elements and Controls
Your appliance is equipped with radiant surface elements with different wattage ratings. The ability to heat food quicker and in larger volumes in- creases as the element wattage increases.
The example shown (figure 1) describes a model with all kind of elements you could possibly have, but the element configuration, the appear= ante and graphics of your cooktop may be different.
NOTE: Due to the high intensity of heat generated by the surface ele- ments, the glass surface will turn green when the element will be turned off. This phenomenon is normal and the glass will come back to its original white color after ithas completely cooled down. (White glass cooktops only).
NOTE: Please read detailed instructions for ceramic glass cooktop cleaning in the General Care & Cleaning section and
Before You Call checklist section of this Use and Care Guide.
