Carefully attempt to tilt range forward. When properly
installed, the range should not tilt forward.
Refer to the anti-tip bracket installation
instructions supplied with your range for proper
installation.
• Remove all tape and packaging 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 qualied
technician in accordance with the National
Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70 latest edition
and local electrical code requirements. Install only
per installation instructions provided in the literature
package for this range.
• User servicing—Do not repair or replace any part
of the appliance unless specically recommended
in the manuals. All other servicing should be done only
by a qualied technician. This may reduce the risk of
personal injury and damage to the range.
Ask your dealer to recommend a qualied technician and
an authorized repair service. Know how to disconnect the
power to the range at the circuit breaker or fuse box in
case of an emergency.
Save these instructions for future reference.
•Never modify or alter the construction of a range

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION
WARNING
• Storage in or on appliance—ammable
materials should not be stored in an oven,
warmer drawer, near surface units or in the
storage drawer. This includes paper, plastic and
cloth items, such as cookbooks, plasticware and
towels, as well as ammable liquids. Do not store
explosives, such as aerosol cans, on or near the
range.
• DO NOT LEAVE CHILDREN ALONE —children
should not be left alone or unattended in the
area where appliance is in use. They should
never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the
appliance, including the storage drawer, lower broiler
drawer, warmer drawer or lower double oven.
• Do not store items of interest to children in the
cabinets above a range or on the backguard of
the range. Children climbing on the range to reach
items could be seriously injured.
• Do not touch surface heating units or surface
cooking elements, areas near these units or
elements, or interior surface of the oven. Both
surface heating and oven heating elements may be
hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near
surface cooking units may become hot enough to
cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or
let clothing or other ammable materials touch these
areas until they have had sufcient time to cool.
Among these areas are the cook top, surfaces facing
the cook top, the oven vent openings and surfaces
near these openings, oven door and oven door
window.
• Wear proper apparel—loose-tting or hanging
garments should never be worn while using
the appliance. Do not let clothing or other
ammable materials contact hot surfaces.
IMPORTANT
Do not attempt to operate the range during a
power failure. If the power fails, always turn off the
range. If the range is not turned off and the power
resumes, the range will begin to operate again. Once
the power resumes, reset the clock and oven function.
• Do not use water or our on grease res—
smother the re 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 re if allowed to become too hot.
• Use dry potholders - moist or damp potholders
on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam.
Do not let potholders touch hot heating elements.
Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth instead of a
potholder.
• Do not heat unopened food containers - buildup
of pressure may cause container to burst and
result in injury.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR OVEN
• Use care when opening oven door , lower oven
door or warmer drawer (if equipped)—Stand to
the side of the range when opening the door of a hot
oven. Let hot air or steam escape before you remove or
replace food in the oven.
• Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. The oven vent
is located under the left rear surface element if your
model is equipped with coil elements. The oven vent
is located below the backguard for models equipped
with ceramic-glass cook tops. Touching the surfaces in
this area when the oven is operating may cause severe
burns. Also, do not place plastic or heat-sensitive items
on or near the oven vent. These items could melt or
ignite.
• Placement of interior oven racks. Always place
oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. 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 heating
elements in the oven. Remove all utensils from the rack
before moving.
• Do not use the broiler pan without its insert. The
broiler pan and its insert allow dripping fat to drain
and be kept away from the high heat of the broiler. Do
not cover the broiler insert with aluminum foil.
Exposed fat and grease could ignite.
• Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil to line the
oven bottom. Only use aluminum foil as recommended
in this manual. Improper installation of these liners may
result in risk of electric shock, or re.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SELF-CLEANING OVENS
• Clean in the self-cleaning cycle only the parts
listed in this Use & Care Manual. Before self-cleaning
the oven, remove the broiler pan and any utensils or
foods from the oven.
• 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.
• 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.
• The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the
fumes given off during the self-cleaning cycle of any
range. Move birds to another well-ventilated room.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING
YOUR RANGE
• Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of
grease that could catch re. Pay particular attention
to the area around each surface element. Do not allow
grease to accumulate.
• Kitchen cleaners and aerosols—Always follow the
manufacturer’s recommended directions for use.
Be aware that excess residue from cleaners and aerosols
may ignite causing damage and injury.
• Clean ventilating hoods frequently—Grease
should not be allowed to accumulate on the hood
or lter. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for
cleaning hoods.
COIL COOK TOP MODELS
• Make Sure Reector 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 reector pans. Only use
aluminum foil as recommended in this manual. Improper
installation of these liners may result in risk of electric
shock, or re.
• Carefully check the reector pans, drip bowls, and
coils for packaging material. Remove all packaging
material before using the cooktop.
• Do not use decorative surface burner covers. If an
element is accidentally turned on, the decorative
cover will become hot and possibly melt. Burns will
occur if the hot covers are touched. Damage may also
be done to the cooktop.
• Do not allow grease to accumulate around
surface burners and drip bowls.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR COOKTOP
• Know which knob controls each surface heating
unit. Place a pan of food on the unit before turning it
on, and turn the unit off before removing the pan.
• Use proper pan size—This appliance is equipped
with one or more surface units of different sizes. Select
utensils having at 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 element will also
improve efciency.
• Utensil handles should be turned inward and not
extend over adjacent surface elements—To reduce
the risk of burns, ignition of ammable materials, and
spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil,
the handle of the utensil should be positioned so that
it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent
surface units.
• Never leave surface elements unattended at high
heat settings—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 cook top service without
breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.
Check the manufacturer’s recommendations for cook top
use.
• When aming foods under a ventilating hood,
turn the fan on.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement
Act requires the Governor of California to publish a
list of substances known to the state to cause cancer,
birth defects or other reproductive harm, and requires
businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to
such substances.

Air circulation in the oven
For best baking results allow 2-4” (5-10 cm) around the
cookware for proper air circulation and be sure pans and
cookware do not touch each other, the oven door, sides or
back of the oven cavity. Hot air must be able to circulate
around the pans and cookware in the oven for even heat
to reach around the food.
