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

and engaged properly, look
underneath the range to see that

A child or aduEt can tip the range and be killed.
Verify the anti-tip bracket has been properly instaEled

and engaged.

Ensure the anti-tip bracket is re-engaged when the range

is moved.

Do not operate the range without the anti-tip bracket in

place and engaged.

Failure to follow these instructions can resuEt in death or

jAWARNING ] RADIANT COOKTOP SAFETYINSTRUCTIONS

(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 qualified 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 fire
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 isturned off

may cause them to ignite also.
Use CERAMA BRY1-E_ ceramic Cooktop Cleaner and

CERAMABRY-1-E'_ 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.

[AWARNING ] COIL COOKTOPSAFETYINSTRUCTIONS (somemodels)

Do not immerse or soak the removable surface units.
Do not put them in a dishwasher. Do not self-clean the

surface units in an oven. Doing so may cause them to

fail, presenting a burn or fire hazard.

About the radiant surface units

Never cook directly on the glass.
Always use cool<ware.

Always place the pan inthe center
of the surface unit you are cooking on.

Do not slide cool<ware across the
control or cool<topsurface because

it can scratch the glass. The glass is
scratch-resistant, not scrotchproof

The radiant cooktop features heating units

beneath a smooth glass surface.
Cooktoptemperatures increase with the

number of surface units that are on. With 3 or 4
units turned on, surface temperatures are high.

Always use caution when touching the cooktop.

Hot surface indicator light will:

Stay on evenafter the unit is turned off.
Glow brightly until the unit has cooled

below !50°K

NOTE:A slight odor is normal when a new
cooktop isusedfor the firsttime. It is caused

bythe heating of new parts and insulating
materials and will disappear in a short time.

NOTE:Onmodels with light-colored glass
cooktops,it isnormal for the cookingzones to

change color when hot or cooling down. Thisis
temporary and will disappear as the glass cools

to room temperature.

It is safe to place hot cookware from the oven

or surface on the glass cooktop when the

To avoidpossible burns,place the racksin the desiredposition beforeyou turn on the oven.

Before you begin...

Theracks have stops,sothat when placed
correctly on the supports, they will stop before
coming completely out and will

not tilt.
When placing and removing cookware,

pull the rack out until it stops.
On some models,the bake heating element is

under the oven floor. Donot place foods on the
oven bottom for cooking.

Toremove a rack, pull it toward you,
tilt the front end up and pull it out.

The number of rack positions may
vary by model.

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.

Toreplace, place the end of the rack
(stop-locks)on the support,tilt up the front and
push the rack in.

Foilmay 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 with
aluminum foil. Keepfoil at least 1-1/2" from

oven walls to prevent poor heat circulation.

skewer-like probe at one end and
a plug at the other end that goes

into the outlet in the oven.

Adjust the oven thermostat--Do it yourself.!

You may find that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. Useyour new oven for a few weeks to become
more familiar with it. Ifyou 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 degrees.

NOTE: This adjustment will only affect baking and roasting temperatures; it will not affect broiling or self-cleaning
temperatures. The adjustment will be retained in memory after a power failure.

Thetype 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 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.

Federalstandards require products labeled"margarine" to contain at least 80% fat by weight. Low-fat spreads,on the other hand,

contain lessfat and more water. The high moisture content of these spreads affects the texture and flavor of baked goods. Forbest
results with your old favorite recipes,use margarine, butter or stick spreads containing at least 70% vegetable oil.

Theconvection oven comes with one
convection cook mode and can be used

for !-Rack Convection Bakingor ivlulti-Rack
Convection Baking.

Convection Fan Operation

In a convection oven, a fan circulates hot air
over, under and around the food.

This circulating hot air is evenly distributed
throughout the oven cavity. As a result, foods are

evenly cooked and browned-often in less time
with convection heat.

Multi-Rack Convection Baking

Because heated air iscirculated evenly
throughout the oven,foods can be baked with

excellent resultsusing multiple racks.
ivlulti-rack baking may increase cook times

slightly for some foods but the overall result
istime saved. Cookies,muffins, biscuitsand

other quickbreads givevery good resultswith
multi-rack baking.

NOTE:Tomaximize cooking evenness,the fun
isdesigned to rotate in both directions,with a

pause in between. Thisis normal.
Theconvection fun shuts off when the oven

door is opened. DO NOTleave the door open
for long periods of time while using convection

cooking or you may shorten the lifeof the
convection heating element.

When baking on 3 racks,place one rack in the
second (B)position, another rack in the fourth

(D)position and the third rack inthe sixth (F)
position.

Fortwo-rack baking, place one rack
in the second (B)rack position. Place

the other rack inthe fifth (E)rack position.

1-Rack Convection Baking
When convection baking with only 1 rack, place

the food so that it is centered in the oven.

Beforeusingyour convection oven,check to see
ifyour cookware leavesroom for air circulation

in the oven. Ifyou are bakingwith severalpuns,
leavespace between them. Also,be surethe

puns 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

alsobe used for convection baking but should
not be used at temperatures higher than the
temperature recommended by the cookware

manufacturer. Plasticcookware that isheat-
resistant to temperatures of 400°Fcan also be

used.

Metal and Glass

Anytype of cookware will work in your
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 panscook more slowly.

Forrecipes like oven-baked chicken, use a pan
with low sides.Hot aircannot circulate well

around food in a pan with high sides.

Using the timed convection

NOTE: Foods that spoil easily-such as milk, eggs, fish, stuffings, poultry and pork-should not be allowed to sit for
more than 1 hour before or after cooking. Room temperature promotes the growth of harmful bacteria. Be sure
