IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING

ANTI-TIP DEVICE

WARNING

Tip-Over Hazard A child or adult can tip the range and be killed. Verify the anti-tip bracket has been properly installed and engaged to the ﬂ oor or wall. Ensure the anti-tip bracket is re- engaged when the range is moved by sliding the anti-tip arm just under the bracket. Do not operate the range without the anti-tip bracket in place and engaged. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious burns to children or adults.

To reduce the risk of tipping the range, the range must be secured by a properly installed anti-tip bracket. See installation

instructions for complete details before attempting to install.

For Freestanding Ranges:

To check if the bracket is installed and engaged properly, look underneath the range to see that the anti-tip arm attached to the side panel is engaged in the bracket. On some models, the storage drawer or kick panel can be removed for easier inspection. If visual inspection is not possible, slide the range forward, conﬁ rm the anti-tip bracket is securely attached to the ﬂ oor or wall, and slide the range back so the anti-tip arm slides just under the anti-tip bracket. If the range is pulled from the wall for any reason, always repeat this procedure to verify the range is properly secured by the anti-tip bracket.

WARNING

GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Use this appliance for its intended purpose as described in this Owner’s Manual.

• Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualiﬁ ed installer in accordance with the provided installation instructions.

• Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your range unless it is speciﬁ cally recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualiﬁ ed technician.

• Before performing any service, unplug the range or disconnect the power supply at the household distribution panel by removing the fuse or switching off the circuit breaker.

• Do not leave children alone - children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where an appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to climb, sit or stand on any part of the appliance.

• CAUTION: Do not store items of interest to children above a range or on the backguard of a range - children

climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously injured.

• Use only dry potholders - moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let the potholders touch hot heating areas. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of pot holders.

• Never use your appliance for warming or heating the room.

• Do not touch surface elements, areas near the elements or interior surfaces of the oven. These surfaces may be

hot enough to burn even though they are dark in color. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other ﬂ ammable materials contact the surface elements, areas nearby the surface units or any interior area of the oven; allow sufﬁ cient time for cooling ﬁ rst. Other surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to cause burns. Potentially hot surfaces include the cooktop, areas facing the cooktop, oven vent opening, surfaces near the opening and crevices around the oven door.

• Do not heat unopened food containers. Pressure could build up and the container could burst, causing an injury.

• Do not use aluminum foil to line drip pans or anywhere in the oven, except as described in this manual. Foil can trap heat or melt, resulting in damage to the product and a shock or ﬁ re hazard.

• Avoid scratching or impacting glass doors, cook tops or control panels. Doing so may lead to glass breakage. Do not cook on a product with broken glass. Shock, ﬁ re or cuts may occur.

• Cook meat and poultry thoroughly - meat to at least an internal temperature of 160°F and poultry to at least an internal temperature of 180°F. Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against foodborne illness.

WARNING

KEEP FLAMMABLE MATERIALS AWAY FROM THE RANGE

• Do not store or use ﬂ ammable materials in an oven or near the cooktop, including paper, plastic, pot holders, linens, wall coverings, curtains, drapes and gasoline or other ﬂ ammable vapors and liquids.

• Never wear loose-ﬁ tting or hanging garments while using the appliance. These garments may ignite if they contact hot surfaces causing severe burns.

• Do not let cooking grease or other ﬂ ammable materials accumulate in or near the range. Grease in the oven or on the cooktop may ingnite.

• Clean ventilating hoods frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on the hood or ﬁ lter.

READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING

WARNING

IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE, TAKE THE FOLLOWING STEPS TO PREVENT THE FIRE FROM SPREADING

• Do not use water on grease ﬁ res. Never pick up a ﬂ aming pan. Turn the controls off. Smother a ﬂ aming pan on a surface element by covering the pan completely with a well-ﬁ tting lid, cookie sheet or ﬂ at tray. Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type ﬁ re 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 by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type ﬁ re extinguisher.

• If there is a ﬁ re in the oven during self-clean, turn the oven off and wait for the ﬁ re to go out. Do not force the door open. Introduction of fresh air at self-clean temperatures may lead to a burst of ﬂ ame from the oven. Failure to follow this instruction may result in severe burns.

WARNING

COOKTOP SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Never leave the range unattended while a surface element is ON. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may catch on ﬁ re.

• 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.

• Use proper pan size - select cookware having ﬂ at bottoms large enough to cover the surface heating element. The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of the element to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of cookware to surface heating element will also improve efﬁ ciency .

• Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, earthenware or other glazed containers are suitable for cooktop service; others may break because of the sudden change in temperature.

• To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of ﬂ ammable materials and spillage, the handle of a container should be turned toward the center of the range without extending over nearby heating elements.

• When preparing ﬂ aming foods under a hood, turn the fan on.

• 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING

WARNING

RADIANT COOKTOP SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (Some models)

• Use care when touching the cooktop. The glass surface of the cooktop will retain heat after the controls have been turned off.

• Do not cook on a broken cooktop. If glass cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualiﬁ ed technician immediately.

• Avoid scratching the glass cooktop. The cooktop can be scratched with items such as knives, sharp instruments, rings or other jewelry, and rivets on clothing.

• Do not place or store items that can melt or catch ﬁ re on the glass cooktop, even when it is not being used. If the cooktop is inadvertently turned on, they may ignite. Heat from the cooktop or oven vent after it has been turned off may also cause them to ignite.

• Use a ceramic cooktop cleaner and a ceramic cooktop cleaning pad to clean the cooktop. Wait until the cooktop cools and the indicator light goes out before cleaning. A wet sponge or cloth on a hot surface can cause steam burns. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface. Note: Sugar spills are an exception. They should be scraped off while still hot using an oven mitt and a scraper. See the Cleaning the glass cooktop section for detailed instructions.

• Read and follow all instructions and warnings on the cleaning cream label.

WARNING

COIL COOKTOP SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (Some models)

• Do not immerse or soak the removable surface cooking elements. Do not put them in a dishwasher. Do not self-clean the surface cooking elements in the oven. Doing so may cause them to fail, resulting in a burn hazard or ﬁ re hazard.

• 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.

• Be sure the drip pans are not covered and are in place. Their absence during cooking could damage range parts and wiring.

• Do not use aluminum foil to line drip pans. Foil can trap heat or melt, resulting in damage to the product and a shock or ﬁ re hazard.

OVEN SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Stand away from the range when opening the oven door. Hot air or steam which escapes can cause burns ro hands, face and/or eyes.

• Keep the oven vent unobstructed.

• Keep the oven free from grease build-up. Grease in the oven may ignite.

• Place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not let potholder contact the hot heating element in the oven.

• When using cooking or roasting bags in the oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.

• 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 leave items such as paper, cooking utensils or food in the oven when not in use. Items stored in an oven can ignite.

• Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven bottom. Foil can trap heat or melt, resulting in damage to the product and a shock hazard or ﬁ re hazard.

WARNING

WARMING DRAWER/ LOWER OVEN DRAWER SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (Some Models)

• The purpose of the warming drawer is to hold hot cooked foods at serving temperature. Bacteria will grow in food while it is below 140 °F. Do not put cold food in warming drawer. Do not heat food for more than 2 hours. Failure to follow these instructions may result in foodborne illness.

• Do not leave paper products, plastics, canned food or combustible materials in the drawer. They may ignite.

• Do not touch the heating element or the interior surface of the drawer. These surfaces may be hot enough to cause burns.

• Use care when opening the drawer. Open the drawer a crack and let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing food. Hot air or steam that escapes can cause burns to hands, face and/ or eyes.

• Do not use aluminum foil to line the lower drawer. The foil will trap heat below, and upset the performance of the oven. Foil can melt and permanently damage the drawer bottoms.

READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

USING THE SURFACE COOKING ELEMENTS

Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model.

SURFACE COOKING CONTROLS

• Your surface elements and controls are designed to give you a variety of heat settings for surface element cooking.

• At both LO and HI positions, there is a slight niche, so the control clicks at those positions. Hi marks the highest setting; LO marks the lowest setting.

• In a quiet kitchen, you may hear slight clicking sounds during cooking, indicating heat settings selected are being maintained.

• Switching heats to higher settings always shows a quicker change in temperature than switching to lower settings.

HOW TO SET THE CONTROLS

1. Push the control knob in.

2. Turn either clockwise or counterclockwise to the desired heat setting.

• The control must be pushed in to set only from the OFF position.

• When the control is in any position other than OFF, you can turn it without pushing in.

• Be sure you turn the control to OFF when you ﬁ nish cooking. An indicator light will glow when ANY surface element is on.

HEAT SETTING GUIDE

• HI - Quick start for cooking; bring water to a boil.

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

• MED - Saute 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 in a covered pan. Use to steam rice.

NOTE:

1. At HI or MEDIUM HIGH, never leave food unattended. Boilovers cause smoking; greasy spillovers may catch ﬁ re.

2. At LO, melt chocolate, butter on a small element.

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 tight-ﬁ 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.

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

USING THE OVEN

The OVEN TEMP knob is located on the control panel on the front of the range.

OVEN TEMPERATURE CONTROLS

OVEN TEMP

OVEN SHELVES

• To use the oven, simply turn the knob to the desired cooking temperatures, which are marked in 25°F increments on the dial. OVEN TEMP maintains the temperature you set, from 200°F to BROIL.

• The Oven Cycling Light glows until the oven reaches your selected temperature, then goes off and on with the oven unit(s) during cooking.

Bump

OVEN SHELF POSITIONS

• The shelves are designed with stop-locks so when placed correctly on the shelf supports, they will stop before coming completely out of the oven and will not tilt when you are removing food from them or placing food on them.

• When placing cookware on a shelf, pull the shelf out to the bump on the shelf support. Place the cookware on the shelf, then slide the shelf back into the oven. This will eliminate reaching into the hot oven.

• To remove the shelves from the oven, pull them toward you, tilt front end upward and pull them out.

• To replace, place the shelf on the shelf support with stop-locks (curved extension of shelf) facing up and toward the back of the oven. Tilt up the front and push the shelf toward the back of the oven until it goes past the bump on the shelf support. Then lower the front of the shelf and push it all the way back.

• The oven has four shelf supports - A (bottom), B, C, and D (top).

• Shelf positions for cooking are suggested on Baking and Roasting pages.

The oven has 4 shelf positions.

USE OF ALUMINUM FOIL

• Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottoms. The foil will trap heat below and upset the performance of the oven. Foil can melt and permanently damage the oven bottom. Damage from improper use of aluminum foil is not covered by the product warranty.

• Foil may be used to catch spills by placing a sheet on a lower rack, several inches below the food. Do not use more foil than necessary, and never entirely cover an oven rack this aluminum foil. Keep foil at least 1 1/2” from oven walls to prevent poor heat circulation.

CLOCK AND TIMER (some models)

1. Timer Pad: Touch this pad to select the timer feature

2. Clock Pad: Touch this pad before setting the clock.

3. Display: Shows the time of day and the time set for the timer, cook time or start time.

4. Set +/- Pads: These pads allow you to set the clock and timer.

Appearance may vary.

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

USING THE OVEN FOR BAKING OR ROASTING

To avoid possible burns, place the shelves in the desired position before you turn the oven on.

HOW TO SET YOUR OVEN FOR BAKING OR ROASTING

1. Position the shelf or shelves in the oven. If cooking on two shelves at the same time, stagger the pans for best heat circulation.

2. Close oven door. Turn OVEN TEMP knob clockwise to desired temperature. Preheat oven for at least 10 minutes if preheating is necessary.

3. Place food in oven on center of shelf. Allow at least 2 inches between edge of bakeware and oven wall or adjacent cookware.

4. Check the food to see if it is done at the minimum time on the recipe. Cook longer if necesary. Turn OVEN TEMP knob to OFF and remove the food.

SHELF POSITIONS

• Most baking is done on the second shelf position (B) or the third shelf positon (C) from the bottom.

• When baking 3 or 4 items, use two shelves positioned on the second and fourth sets of supports (B & D) from the bottom of the oven.

• Bake angel food cakes on the ﬁ rst shelf position (A) from the bottom of the oven.

• Roasting is usually done on the bottom shelf position (A).

PREHEATING

• Preheating the oven takes about 10 minutes.

• Preheat the oven only when necessary, usually for baking.

• Most roasts will cook satisfactorily without preheating.

• If you ﬁ nd preheating is necessary, keep an eye on the Oven Cycle light and put food in the oven promptly after the light goes out. The oven cycle light will then cycle on and off with the oven thermostat as it cycles to maintain the oven temperature.

BAKING AND ROASTING TIPS

• Follow a tested recipe and measure the ingredients carefully. If you are using a package mix, follow label directions.

• Do not open the oven door during a baking operation - heat will be lost and the baking time might need to be extended. This could cause poor baking results. If you must open the door, open it partially - only 3 or 4 inches - and close it as quickly as possible.

• Roasting is cooking by dry heat. Tender meat or poultry can be roasted uncovered in your oven. Roasting temperatures, which should be low and steady, keep spattering to a minimum. When roasting, it is not necessary to sear, baste, cover, or add water to your meat.

• Frozen roasts of beef, pork, lamb, etc., can be started without thawing, but allow 10 to 25 minutes of additional time per pound of meat (10 minutes per pound for roasts under 5 pounds, more time for larger roasts).

• Thaw most frozen poultry before roasting to ensure even cooking. Some commercial frozen poultry can be cooked successfully without thawing. Follow directions given on package label.

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

CONVENIENCE OUTLET (some models)

The 120V convenience outlet located on the top of the back guard may be used to plug in small electrical appliances.

When using the outlet, be sure that the electrical cord does not rest on or near a surface unit. If the surface unit is turned on, the cord will be damaged.

To reset the circuit breaker, press the switch located near the outlet on top of the back guard.

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

ADJUST THE OVEN THERMOSTAT - EASY TO DO YOURSELF

You may ﬁ nd that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. Use you new oven for a few weeks to become more familiar with it. If you still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the thermostat yourself.

Do not use thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of your oven. These thermometers may vary 20-40°F.

Note: This adjustment will not affect the broiling temperatures. The adjustment will be retained after a power failure.

TO ADJUST THE THERMOSTAT WITH THIS TYPE OF KNOB

OVEN TEMP

1. Pull the OVEN TEMP knob off the range and look at the back side. To make an adjustment, loosen (approximately one turn), but do not completely remove, the two screws on the back of the knob.

2. With the back of the knob facing you, hold the outer edge of the knob with one hand and turn the front of the knob with the other hand.

To increase the oven temperature, move the top screw toward the right. You will hear a click for each notch you move the knob.

Front of OVEN TEMP knob (knob appearance may vary)

To decrease the oven temperature, move the top screw toward the left. Each click will change the oven temperature approximately 10°F. (The range is plus

or minus 60°F from the arrow.) We suggest that you make the adjustment one click

from the original setting and check oven performance before making any additional adjustments.)

3. After the adjustment is made, retighten screws so that they are snug, but be careful not to overtighten.

4. Replace the knob, matching the ﬂ at area of the knob to the shaft, and check performance.

Back of OVEN TEMP knob

THE TYPE OF MARGARINE WILL AFFECT BAKING PERFORMANCE

• Most recipes for baking have been developed using high-fat products such as butter or margarine (80% fat). If you decrease the fat, the recipe may not give the same results as with a higher fat product.

• Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies, pastries, cookies, or candies are made with low-fat spreads. The lower the fat content of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become.

• Federal standards require products labeled “margarine” to contain at least 80% fat by weight. Low-fat spreads, on the other hand, contain less fat and more water. The high moisture content of these spreads affects the texture and ﬂ avor of baked goods. For best results with your old favorite recipes, use margarine, butter or stick spreads containing at least 70% vegetable oil.

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

USING THE OVEN FOR BROILING

Broiling may be slightly different from any previous broiling you may be acquainted with, so be sure to read this section completely.

HOW TO SET YOUR OVEN FOR BROILING

Broiling is cooking food by intense radiant heat from the upper element in the oven. Most ﬁ sh and tender cuts of meat can be broiled. Follow these steps to keep spattering and smoking to a minimum.

1. If the meat has fat or gristle around the edge, cut vertical slashes through both about 2” apart. If desired, fat may be trimmed, leaving a layer about 1/8” thick.

2. Place the meat on a broiler grid in a broiler pan designed for broiling. Always use the grid so the fat drips into the broiler pan; otherwise the juices may become hot enough to catch ﬁ re.

3. Place the shelf in position C for most broiling.

4. Close the door. Always broil with the door closed.

5. Turn the OVEN TEMP knob clockwise to BROIL. You will feel a slight niche at the broil position.

6. Turn food only once during cooking.

7. Turn the OVEN TEMP knob to OFF. Serve food immediately, and leave the pan outside the oven to cool during the meal for easiest cleaning.

BROILING GUIDE

• If desired, marinate meats or chicken before broiling, or brush with barbecue sauce the last 5 to 10 minutes only.

• Frozen steaks can be broiled by positioning the oven shelf at the next lowest shelf position and increasing cooking time given in this guide 1 1/2 times per side.

• When arranging food on pan, do not let fatty edges hang over sides, because the dripping fat wil soil the oven.

• If your range is connected to 208 volts, rare steaks may be broiled by preheating the broiler and positioning the oven shelf one position higher.

2. Insert and seat the upper and lower hinge arms into the oven slots.

3. Push the hinge locks down from the hinge hooks.

4. Close the oven door and make sure it is working properly. If it is not working properly, remove and replace it following the above steps.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLOSE THE DOOR UNTIL THIS STEP IS COMPLETE. THE HINGE OR DOOR COULD BE DAMAGED.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

OVEN HEATING ELEMENTS

• Do not clean the bake element or the broil element. Any soil will burn off when the elements are heated.

• The bake element can be lifted gently to clean the oven ﬂ oor. Do not attempt to clean any oven surface when any burner element is on. Always wear protective hand-wear when cleaning interior oven surfaces or surfaces near heating elements. If spillovers, residue or ash accumulate around the bake element, gently wipe around the element with warm water.

GLASS WINDOW (on some models)

• To clean the outside glass ﬁ nish, use a glass cleaner. Rinse and polish with a dry cloth. Avoid scratching or impacting the glass window. Doing so may cause the glass to break.

CONTROL KNOBS

• The control knobs may be removed for easier cleaning.

• Make sure the knobs are in the OFF positions and pull them straight off the stems for cleaning.

• The knobs can be cleaned in a dishwasher or they may also be washed with soap and water. Make sure the insides of the knobs are dry before replacing.

• Replace the knobs in the OFF position to ensure proper placement.

PAINTED SURFACES

• Painted surfaces include the sides, control panel, door and kick panel. Clean these with soap and water or a vinegar and water solution.

• Do not use commercial oven cleaners, cleansing powders, steel wool or harsh abrasives on any painted surface.

PORCELAIN OVEN INTERIOR

• With proper care, the porcelain enamel interior will retain its attractive ﬁ nish for many years.

• Soap and water will normally do the job. Heavy spattering or spillovers may require cleaning with a mild abrasive cleanser. Soapy, wet pads may also be used. Do not allow food spills with a high sugar or acid content (such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie ﬁ lling) to remain on the surface. They may cause dull spots even after cleaning.

• Household ammonia may make the cleaning job easier. Place 1/2 cup ammonia in a shallow glass pan and leave in a cold oven overnight. The ammonia fumes will help loosen the burned-on grease and food.

• When necessary, you may use a commercial oven cleaner. Follow the package directions.

Cautions about using spray-on oven cleaners:

• Do not spray the oven cleaner on the electrical controls and switches, because it could cause a short circuit and result in sparking or ﬁ re.

• Do not directly spray oven cleaner onto the oven heating elements.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

PORCELAIN OVEN INTERIOR (continued)

Cautions about using spray-on oven cleaners:

• Do not allow a ﬁ lm from the cleaner to remain on the temperature sensor - it could cause the oven to heat improperly. (The sensor is located at the top of the oven.) Carefully wipe the bulb clean after each oven cleaning, being careful not to move the sensor since a change in its position could affect how the oven bakes.

• Do not spray any oven cleaner on the outside oven door, handles or any exterior surface of the oven, cabinet or painted surfaces. The cleaner can damage these surfaces.

OVEN LIGHT REPLACEMENT (on some models)

WARNING

Before replacing the oven light bulb, disconnect the electrical power to the range at the main fuse or circuit breaker panel. Failure to do so may result in electric shock or burn. Be sure to let the light cover and bulb cool completely.

NOTE: The installation of the ANTI-TIP bracket must meet all local codes for securing the appliance.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

ANTI-TIP BRACKET INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (cont’d)

STEP 1 LOCATE THE BRACKET

IMPORTANT:

Place the bracket on the ﬂ oor with the back edge against the rear wall. If the range does not reach the rear wall, align the back edge of the bracket with the rear panel of the range in its ﬁ nal location.

Determine the ﬁ nal location of the range before attempting to install the bracket.

IMPORTANT:

If the bracket does not touch the rear wall, you MUST screw the bracket to the FLOOR as described in Step 2.

Position the side of the bracket against the right cabinet. If there is no adjacent cabinet, align the edge of the bracket with the right side panel of the range in its ﬁ nal location. If the countertop overhangs the cabinet, offset the bracket from the cabinet by the amount of the overhang.

Mark the location for the pair of holes to be used (see illustration above). NOTE: For FLOOR installation use Loc. A. For REAR WALL installation use Loc. B.

STEP 2 SECURE THE BRACKET

Two screws must enter oor or wall at Loc. A or B.

STEP 3 CHECK THE BRACKET

After installing the bracket, slide the range into its ﬁ nal location. To check if the bracket is installed and engaged properly, look underneath the range to see that the anti-tip arm attached to side panel is engaged in the bracket. On some models, the storage drawer or kick panel can be removed for easier inspection. If visual inspection is not possible, slide the range forward, conﬁ rm the anti-tip bracket is securely attached to the ﬂ oor or wall, and slide the range back so the anti-tip arm slides just under the anti-tip bracket. If the range is pulled from the wall for any reason, always repeat this procedure to verify the range is properly secured by the anti-tip bracket.

IMPORTANT:

The anti-tip bracket must be PROPERLY INSTALLED to prevent the range from tipping. NEVER remove the leveling legs. This will prevent the range from being secured to the ANTI-TIP bracket properly.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

INSTALL THE RANGE

LEVEL THE RANGE

For proper cooking and baking, the range must be leveled. Leveling legs are located on each corner at the base of the range.

(A) Install the oven shelves (see Using the oven section for instructions). Put a spirit level or a glass measuring cup partially ﬁ lled with water on one of the oven shelves. If using a spirit level, take two readings

- with the level placed diagonally, ﬁ rst in one direction and then the other.

(B) Turn the legs clockwise to raise the range and counterclockwise to lower the range. Adjust the leveling legs until the range is level.

FINAL INSTALLATION CHECKLIST

• Check to make sure the circuit breaker is closed (RESET) or the circuit fuses are replaced.

• Be sure power is in service to the building.

• Check to be sure that all packing materials and tape have been removed. This will include tape on the metal panel under control knobs (if applicable), adhesive tape, wire ties, cardboard and protective plastic. Failure to remove these materials could result in damage to the appliance once the appliance has been turned on and surfaces have heated.

• Check that the door and drawer are parallel to each other and that both operate smoothly. If they do not, see the Owner’s Manual for proper replacement.

• Check to make sure that the Anti-Tip device is securely installed.

• Be sure all range controls are in the OFF positions before leaving the range.
