READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

GENERAL SAFETY REQUIREMENTS

Ensure the appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualiﬁ ed technician.

Never use the appliance for warming or heating the room.

Children should not be left alone or unattended in the area where the appliance is in use. Children should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.

Do not store items of interest to children in cabinets above a range or on the back guard of a range. Children climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously injured.

Loose ﬁ tting or hanging garments should never be worn while using the appliance.

Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless speciﬁ cally recommended in the manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualiﬁ ed technician.

Flammable materials should not be stored in or near the appliance.

Do not use water on grease ﬁ res. Smother ﬁ re or ﬂ ame or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

Use only dry pot holders. Moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let the pot holder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.

If power is lost to an electric cooktop while a surface element is ON, the surface element will turn back on as soon as power is restored. In the event of power loss, failure to turn all surface element knobs to the OFF position may result in ignition of items on or near the cooktop, leading to serious injury or death.

To avoid the possibility of a burn or an electric shock, always be certain that the controls for all surface elements are at the OFF position, and that all coils are cool before attempting to lift or remove a coil cooking element.

COOK TOP SAFETY REQUIREMENTS

Use the proper pan size. This appliance is equipped with four burners of different sizes. Select utensils that have ﬂ at bottoms large enough to cover the surface of the 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 efﬁ ciency.

Never leave the appliance unattended while in use. Boil over causes smoking and greasy spills can ignite.

Never leave oil unattended while frying. If allowed to heat beyond its smoking point, oil may ignite resulting in ﬁ re that may spread to surrounding cabinets. Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible to monitor oil temperature.

To avoid oil spillover and ﬁ re, use a minimum amount of oil when shallow pan-frying and avoid cooking frozen foods with excessive amounts of ice.

Ensure that reﬂ ector pans or drip bowls are in place. Absence of these pans or bowls during cooking may subject wiring or components underneath to damage.

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 electric shock or ﬁ re.

Only certain types of glass, ceramic, earthenware or other glazed utensils are suitable for range top service without breaking due to sudden change in temperature.

To reduce risk of burns, ignition of ﬂ ammable materials and spillage due to unintentional contact, the handle of a utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward and does not extend over adjacent burners.

Removable heating elements should never be immersed in water.

READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

OVEN SAFETY REQUIREMENTS

Use care when opening the door. Allow hot air or steam to escape before removing or replacing food.

Do not heat unopened food containers. Build up of pressure may cause the container to burst and result in injury.

Keep oven vents unobstructed.

Always place oven racks in the desired location while the oven is cool. If the rack must be moved while the oven is hot, do not let the pot holder contact the hot heating element in the oven.

Pull the oven rack to the stop-lock position when loading and unloading food from the oven. This helps prevent burns from touching hot surfaces of the door and oven walls.

Do not use the oven if a heating element develops a glowing spot during use or shows other signs of damage. A glowing spot indicates the heating element may fail and present a potential burn, ﬁ re, or shock hazard. Turn the oven off immediately and have the heating element replaced by a qualiﬁ ed service technician.

WARNING - IN CASE OF FIRE

In the event of a ﬁ re, never pick up a ﬂ aming pot or pan. Turn the burner off if it is safe to do so. Extinguish the ﬁ re with a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

Do not use water on grease ﬁ res. Water will spread the grease and will not extinguish the ﬁ re. Smother the ﬁ re with a tight ﬁ tting pot lid, cookie sheet or ﬂ at tray or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

If there is a ﬁ re in the oven during baking, smother the ﬁ re by closing the oven door and turning the oven off or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of burns, do not move this appliance while it is hot. To reduce the risk of injury due to tipping of the appliance, verify the re-installation of this appliance into the antitipping device provided and lock the casters after returning the appliance to the original installed position.

DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR

AREAS NEAR THEM

Heating elements on the surface or in the interior of the appliance may be hot even though they are dark in colour. Areas near the heating elements may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use do not touch or let clothing or other ﬂ ammable materials contact the heating elements or areas near them until they have had sufﬁ cient time to cool. Surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to cause burns, among them are the oven vent openings and surfaces near these openings, oven doors and oven windows.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

PREPARE THE OPENING

All rough-in and spacing dimensions must be met for safe use of the appliance. Electricity to the range can be disconnected at the outlet without moving the range by removing the lower drawer if the outlet is in the preferred location.

To reduce the risk of burns or ﬁ re when reaching over hot surface elements, cabinet storage space above the cooktop should be avoided. If cabinetry is present above the range, risk can be reduced by installing a range hood that sticks out at least 5 inches beyond the front of the cabinets. Cabinets installed above a cook top must be no deeper than 13 inches.

Make sure the cabinets and wall coverings around the range can withstand temperatures generated by the range.

Allow 2 inches of space from the range to the adjacent vertical walls above the cooktop surface.

Allow 30 inches minimum clearance between the surface elements and the bottom of unprotected wood or metal top cabinets and 15 inches minimum between the counter top and the adjacent cabinet bottom.

The range is heavy and can settle into soft ﬂ oor coverings such as vinyl or carpeting. When installing the range on this type of ﬂ ooring, it should be installed on a 1/4 inch thick sheet of plywood or similar material.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

This appliance must be supplied with the proper voltage and frequency, and connected to an individual properly grounded branch circuit, protected by a circuit breaker or fuse having amperage as speciﬁ ed on the rating plate. The rating plate is located under the cooktop.

We recommend you have the electrical wiring and hookup of your range connected by a qualiﬁ ed electrician. After installation, have the electrician show you where your main range disconnect is located.

Check with your local utilities for electrical codes which apply in your area. Failure to wire your oven according to governing codes could result in a hazardous condition. If there are no local codes, your range must be wired and fused to meet the requirements of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/ NFPA No. 70 - Latest Edition.

You can get a copy from: National Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269

Effective January 1, 1996, the National Electrical Code requires that new construction (not existing) utilize a 4-conductor connection to an electric range.

You must use a 3-wire, single-phase A.C. 208Y/120 Volt or 240/120 Volt, 60 hertz electrical system. If you connect to aluminum wiring, properly installed connectors approved for use with aluminum wiring must be used.

If the electrical service provided does not meet the above speciﬁ cations, have a licensed electrician install an approved outlet.

NOTE: Use of automatic, wireless, or wired external switches that shut off power to the appliance is not recommended for this product.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

ALL NEW BRANCH CIRCUIT INSTALLATIONS, MOBILE HOMES, RECREATIONAL VEHICLES AND INSTALLATIONS WHERE LOCAL CODES DO NOT ALLOW GROUNDING THROUGH NEUTRAL, REQUIRE A 4-CONDUCTOR CORD OR CONDUIT

Use only a 3-conductor or a 4-conductor UL-listed range cord. These cords may be provided with ring terminals on wire and a strain relief device.

A range cord rated at 40 amps with 125/250 minimum volt range is required. A 50 amp range cord is not recommended but if used, it should be marked for use with nominal 1 3/8” diameter connection openings. Care should be taken to center the cable and strain relief within the knockout hole to keep the edge from damaging the cable.

Because range terminals are not accessible after the range is in position, a ﬂ exible service conduit or cord must be used.

On some models, a ﬁ lter capacitor may be connected between the black and white leads on the junction block.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

SURFACE COOKING CONTROLS

The surface heating elements of the appliance are designed for a variety of heat settings.

At both the HI and LO positions, there are slight indents and the knob will click into place in these positions. HI indicates the highest setting. LO indicates the lowest setting.

A sound of clicking may be heard from the appliance during use. This is normal and indicates that the heat setting selected is being maintained.

Changing to a higher heat setting will happen faster than changing to a lower heat setting as it will take time for the heat to dissipate.

SETTING THE CONTROLS

1. Push the control knob in.

2. Turn to the desired heat setting.

The knob only needs to be pushed in when moving out of the “OFF” position. When the knob is in any position other than “OFF”, it can be turned without pushing in.

HEAT SETTING GUIDE

• HI - quick start for cooking; bringing water to a boil

• MEDIUM HIGH - Fast fry; pan broil; maintain a fast boil on a large amount of food

• MED - Sauté and brown; maintain a slow boil on a large amount of food

• MEDIUM LOW - Cereal; maintain the serving temperature of most foods

• LO - Cook after starting at HI; cook with little water in a covered pan; use to steam rice; melt chocolate or butter

Never leave food unattended while cooking. Boil overs cause smoking. Greasy spill overs may catch ﬁ re.

Ensure that the element is turned off when cooking is ﬁ nished. An indicator light will glow when any heating element is turned on.

SURFACE COOKING TIPS

Use medium or heavyweight cookware. Aluminum cookware conducts heat faster than other metals. Cast-iron and coated cast-iron cookware is slow to absorb heat, but generally cooks evenly at low or medium heat settings. Steel pans may cook unevenly if not combined with other metals.

Do not overﬁ ll cookware with fat that may spill over when adding food. Frosty foods bubble vigorously. Watch foods frying at high temperatures. Keep range and hood clean from accumulated grease.

To conserve the most cooking energy, pans should be ﬂ at on the bottom, have straight sides and tightﬁ tting lids. Match the size of the saucepan to the size of the surface element. A pan that extends more than an inch beyond the edge of the drip pan traps heat, which causes “crazing” (ﬁ ne hairline cracks) on porcelain, and discoloration ranging from blue to dark gray on chrome drip pans.
