IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to
heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in
carbon monoxide poisoning.

NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in the
oven bottom or cover an entire rack with materials
such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow
through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide
poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may trap heat,
causing a fire hazard.

Stepping, leaning or sitting on the door or
drawers of a range can result in serious injuries
and also cause damage to the appliance. DO NOT

allow children to climb or play around the range. The
weight of a child on an open oven door may cause the
range to tip, resulting in serious burns or other injury.

Storage in or on appliance—flammable materials
should not be stored in an oven, near surface
units or in the storage drawer, warmer drawer or
lower oven. 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.

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.

IMPORTANT

For electric ignition models only: 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.

CAUTION

• DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE BURNERS, AREAS NEAR
THESE BURNERS, OVEN BURNERS OR INTERIOR
SURFACES OF THE OVEN. Both surface and oven

burners may be hot even though flames are not
visible. Areas near surface burners 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 cook top,
surfaces facing the cook top, 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.

• 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 if allowed to become too hot.

CAUTION

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.

• Remove the oven door from any unused range if it
is to be stored or discarded.

•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, This may reduce the risk of personal
injury and damage to the range.

4

• 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 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR COOKTOP

WARNING

Use Proper Flame Size—Adjust flame size so it does
not extend beyond the edge of the utensil. The use of
undersized utensils will expose a portion of the burner
flame to direct contact and may result in ignition of
clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to flame will also
improve efficiency.

• Know which knob controls each surface burner.

Place a pan of food on the burner before turning it on,
and turn the burner off before removing the pan.

• Always turn knob to the full LITE position when
igniting top burners. Visually check that burner has lit.

Then adjust the flame so it does not extend beyond the
edge of the utensil.

• Utensil handles should be turned inward and not
extend over adjacent surface burners—To reduce

the risk of burns, ignition of flammable 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 burners.

• Never leave surface burners unattended at high
heat settings—Boilovers cause smoking and greasy

spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry
may melt.

• 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 flaming foods under a ventilating hood, turn
the fan on.

• Air curtain or other overhead range hoods, which

operate by blowing a downward air flow on to a range,
shall not be used in conjunction with gas ranges other
than when the hood and range have been designed,
tested and listed by an independent test laboratory for
use in combination with each other.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR OVEN

• Use care when opening oven door , warmer
drawer or lower oven door—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 below 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 items
on or near the oven vent. These items could melt or
ignite.

• Placement of 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 fire.

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.

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 fire. 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 filter.

Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning hoods.

WARNING

Avoid fire hazard or electrical shock. Do not use an
adapter plug, an extension cord, or remove grounding
prong from electrical power cord. Failure to follow this
warning can cause serious injury, fire or death.

This appliance is equipped with a 3-prong grounding
plug for your protection against shock hazard and
should be plugged directly into a properly grounded
receptacle. DO NOT cut or remove the grounding prong
from this plug.

For personal safety, the range must be properly
grounded. For maximum safety, the power cord must
be plugged into an electrical outlet that is correctly
polarized and properly grounded.

If a 2-prong wall receptacle is the only available outlet,
it is the personal responsibility of the consumer to have
it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall
receptacle installed by a qualified electrician.

See the INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS packaged with this
range for complete installation and grounding instructions.

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.

Baking layer cakes with 1 or 2 oven racks

For best results when baking cakes using 2 oven racks,
place cookware on rack positions 2 & 5 (See Figs. 2 & 3).
For best results when using a single oven flat rack, place
cookware so that food is in the center of the oven (See
Figs. 2 & 4).

BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROLS

Effortless™ Oven Rack system

Some models are equipped with a special oven rack system
that automatically partially extends the oven rack from the
interior oven glides to assist in easier access to your food
items. This feature works whenever the oven door is
opened or closed.

To assemble the Effortless™ Oven Rack system:

1. Locate all required parts. You will need the supplied

oven rack (Effortless™ Oven Rack is a flat rack with a
special dark coating on the left and right rack
sides) and the 2 supplied chrome connector arms.

2. Open the oven door. Be sure the oven is completely

cool before proceeding.

3. Place the oven rack in positions 2, 3 or 4 only (see

previous page to verify positions).Be sure the rack
connector brackets are at the rear of the range and
pointing towards oven bottom (See Fig. 2).

4. Assemble one connector arm at a time. With the oven

door open and the oven rack in place, install one end of
the connector arm to the hole in the door connector

bracket (Fig. 1) and the other end in the hole in the
rack connector bracket (Fig. 2 and as in Fig. 3). The

oven rack may need to be adjusted in or out in the rack
position to match the length of the connector arm.

5. While holding the connector arm in place, twist the

connector arm so the ends of the connector arm point
upwards (See Figs. 4 & 5). The connector arm should
now be locked into position.

6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the other connector arm.

7. Once both connector arms are properly in place, be

sure to test the oven rack operation by gently closing
the oven door. The oven rack should move in and out of
the oven freely when the door is opened or closed.

IMPORTANT

Only the Effortless™ Oven Rack system should be
used in oven rack position 2. Placing ANY other rack
in oven rack position 2 will prevent the oven door
from fully closing and may damage the oven door,

oven cavity or the door connector brackets.

If the rack system is not assembled with the connector
arms the Effortless™ Oven rack may be used in oven rack
positions 2 thru 6. Do not attempt to use the Effortless™
Oven rack in rack position 1.
