IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

[A WARNING I

Read all safety instructions before using the product. Failure to follow these instructions may result in fire, electric shock,
serious injury or death.

ANTI-TIP DEVICE

To reduce the risk of tipping the
range, the range must be secured

by a properly installed anti-tip
bracket. See installation instructions

shipped with the bracket for
complete details before attempting

to install.

For Freestanding and Slide-In
Ranges

To check if the bracket is installed

A child or adult can tip the range and be killed.
Verify the anti-tip bracket has been properly installed and engaged.

and engaged properly, look underneath the range to see that the rear

leveling leg is engaged in the bracket. On some models, the storage drawer

or kick panel can be removed for easy inspection. If visual inspection is not

possible, slide the range forward, confirm the anti-tip bracket is securely

attached to the floor or wall, and slide the range back so the rear leveling

leg is 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.
Never completely remove the leveling legs or the range will not be secured

to the anti-tip device properly.

For Drop-In Ranges

To check if the bracket is installed and engaged properly, slide the range
forward, confirm the anti-tip bracket is securely attached to the rear of the

range, and slide the range back so that the anti-tip bracket slides just under

the countertop or wood block attached to the rear wall.

If you did not receive an anti-tip bracket with your purchase, call

1.800.626.8774 to receive one at no cost (in Canada, call 1.800.561.3344).

[A WARNING i IMPORTANT SAFETYNOTICE

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.

The fiberglass insulation in self-clean ovens gives off a very small amount of carbon monoxide during the cleaning cycle.
Exposure can be minimized by venting with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood.

*:, Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a

flaming pan. Turn the controls off. Smother a flaming

pan on a surface unit by covering the
pan completely with a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat

tray. Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire

extinguisher.

*:, If there is a fire in the oven during baking, smother the

fire by closing the oven door and turning the oven off or

by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire
extinguisher.

If there is a fire in the oven during self-clean, turn the
oven off and wait for the fire to go out. Do not force
the door open. Introduction of fresh air at self-clean

temperatures may lead to a burst of flame from the
oven. Failure to follow this instruction may result in

severe burns.

iA WARNING j COOKTOPSAFETYINSTRUCTIONS

Never leave the surface units unattended at medium or
high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy

spillovers that may catch on fire.
Never leave oil unattended while frying. If allowed to

heat beyond its smoking point, oil may ignite resulting
in fire that may spread to surrounding cabinets. Use a

deep fat thermometer whenever possible to monitor oil

temperature.

To avoid oil spillover and fire, use a minimum amount of
oil when shallow pan-frying and avaid caaking frazen

foads with excessive amounts of ice.

Useproper pan size--select cookware having flat
bottoms largeenough to cover the surface heating

element.The use of undersizedcookware will expose
a portion of the surface unit to direct contact and may

resultin ignition of clothing. Properrelationship of

cookware to surface unit will also improve efficiency.

iiiiiil

Onlycertain typesof glass,glass/ceramic, earthenware

orother glazed containers are suitablefor cooktop

service;others may break because of the sudden

change intemperature.

iiiiiiili_

To minimize the possibility of burns, ignitian of
flammable materials and spillage, the handle of a

container should be turned toward the center of the

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).Ifyou decrease the fat,
the recipemay not givethe same results aswith a higher-fat product.

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

Door Positioning During Broiling:

For models JSS28 and JDS28,

For all other models:

Leave the door open to the broil
stop position. The door stays open
by itself, yet the proper temperature

is maintained in the oven.

How to Set the Oven for Broiling

UseLo Broil to cook foods such as poultry
or thick cuts of meat thoroughly without

overbrowning them.
[Z] Placethe food on a broiler grid in a broiler

pan designedfor broiling.

[] Followsuggested rack positions in the

Broiling Guide.

[] Touch the Broil Hi/Lo pad once for Hi

Broil.
Tochange to Lo Broil, touch the Broil Hi/

Lo pad again.

[] Touch the Star pad.
[] When broiling is finished,touch the Clear/

Off pad.

The size, weight, thickness,
starting temperature

and your preference
of doneness will affect

broiling times. This guide
is based on meats at

refrigerator temperature.

The U.S, Department of
Agriculture says "Rare beef is
popular: but you should know

that cooking it to only ] 4O°F

means some food poisoning

organisms may survive." (Source:

Safe Food Book. Your Kitchen

Guide. USDA Rev. June 2985.)

cavity. As (] result,foods (]re evenly

cooked (]nd browned - often in less
time th(]n with regular he(]t.

Convection Baking

Ideal for evenly browned baked foods
cooked on multiple shelves.

. Good for large quantities of baked foods.
. Good results with cookies, biscuits,

brownies, cupcakes, cream puffs, sweet
rolls, angel food cake and bread. The

convection fan circulates the heated air

evenly over and around the food.

The Convection Fun

The convection fan is programmed to run

intermittently for maximum performance
during convection bake and during

preheating. If the fan ison when the oven
door is opened, the fun will stop. The fan will

resume operation when the door isclosed.

Auto Temp Conversion

When convection baking, the Auto
Temp Conversion feature automatically

reduces the set temperature for optimal
performance.

Increase the Convection Baking temperature
setting 20°F higher for faster cooking of

large cuts of meat and poultry.

How to Set the Oven for Convection

When b(]king cookies,you will get
the best results if you use (] fl(]t
cookie sheet inste(]d of (] punwith

low sides.

Cookwure for Convection Cooking

Before using your convection oven, check

to see if your cookware leaves room for air

circulation in the oven. If you are baking with
several pans, leave space between them.

Also, be sure the pans do not touch each

other or the walls of the oven.

Paper and Plastic
Heat-resistant paper and plastic containers

that are recommended for

use in regular baking can also be used

for convection baking but should not be

used at temperatures higher than the

temperature recommended by the cookware

manufacturer. Plastic cookware that is heat-
resistant to temperatures of 400°F can also

be used.

Metal and Glass

Any type of cookware will work inyour
convection oven; however, metal pans heat

the fastest and are recommended
for convection baking.

. Darkened or matte-finished pans will bake

faster than shiny pans.

. Glassor ceramic pans cook more slowly.
For recipes like oven-baked chicken,

use a pan with low sides. Hot air cannot
circulate well around food in a pan with high

sides.
