IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE
WARNING Read all safety instructions before using the product. Failure to follow these instructions may result in fire, electrical shock, serious injury or death.
ANTI-TIP DEVICE
WARNING
Tip-Over Hazard
• A child or adult can tip the range and be killed.
• Install the anti-tip bracket to the wall or floor.
•Engage the range to the anti-tip bracket by sliding the range back such that the foot is engaged.
•Re-engage the anti-tip bracket if the range is moved.
•Failure to do so 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 shipped with the bracket for
complete details before attempting to install.
For Free-Standing and Slide-In Ranges
To check if the bracket is installed 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.

Surface Units
WARNING FIRE HAZARD: Never leave the range unattended with the cooktop ON above a Lo setting. Keep flammable items away from the cooktop. Turn off all controls when done cooking. Failure to follow
these instructions can result in fire, serious injury or death. Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model.
How to Set
Push the knob in and turn in either direction to the setting you want.
A surface ON indicator light will glow when any surface unit is on.
At both OFF and HI the control clicks into position. You may hear slight clicking sounds during cooking, indicating the control is maintaining your desired setting.
Be sure you turn the control knob to OFF when you finish cooking.
Coil Cooktops
Each coil surface unit uses "SENSI-TEMP TECHNOLOGY" to reduce the risk of cooktop oil and grease fires. This feature is located in the center of each surface unit. Power to the surface unit is temporarily interrupted when a pot or pan exceeds expected cooking
temperatures. Even after the surface units are turned off, the surface unit retains enough heat to continue cooking. To avoid overcooking, remove pans from the surface units when the food is cooked. Avoid placing anything on the surface unit until it has cooled completely.
Cookware for Coil Cooktops
The following information will help you choose cookware which will give good performance on coil cooktops. NOTE: Follow all cookware manufacturer’s recommendations when using any type of cookware on the coil cooktop.
Recommended
Stainless Steel
Thin unclad stainless steel will give poor performance.
Aluminum
Heavy weight recommended.
Good conductivity. Because of its low melting point, thin weight aluminum should not be used.
Avoid/Not Recommended
Enamel (painted) on Steel
Glass-ceramic
Poor performance.

Oven Racks
Recommended rack positions for various types of foods are provided in the Cooking Guide. Adjusting rack position is one way to impact cooking results. For example, if you would prefer darker tops on cakes, muffins, or cookies, try moving food one rack position higher. If you find foods are too brown on top try moving them down next time.
When baking with multiple pans and on multiple racks, ensure there is at least 1½" between pans to allow sufficient space for air to flow.

'DUN FRDWHG DQG GXOO SDQV DEVRUE KHDW PRUH UHDGLO\ than light, shiny pans. Pans that absorb heat more readily can result in a browner, crisper, and thicker crust. If using dark and coated cookware check food earlier than minimum cook time. If undesirable results are obtained with this type of cookware consider reducing oven temperature by 25º F next time.
Shiny pans can produce more evenly cooked baked goods such as cakes and cookies.
Glass and ceramic pans heat slowly but retain heat well. These types of pans work well for dishes such as pies and custards.
Air insulated pans heat slowly and can reduce bottom browning.
Keep cookware clean to promote even heating.

Your new oven has a variety of cooking modes to help you get the best results. These modes are described below. Refer to the Cooking Guide section for recommendations for specific foods. Remember, your new oven may perform differently than the oven it is replacing.
Baking Modes
When preparing baked goods such as cakes, cookies, and pastries always preheat the oven first. Follow recipe recommendations for food placement. If no guidelines are provided, center food in the oven.
Traditional Bake
The traditional bake mode is intended for single rack cooking. This mode uses heat primarily from the lower element but also from the upper element to cook food. To use this mode press the Bake pad, use the + - pads to set the desired temperature, and then press Start. Preheating is generally recommended when using this mode.
Broiling Modes
Always broil with the door open. Monitor food closely
ZKLOH EURLOLQJ 8VH FDXWLRQ ZKHQ EURLOLQJ RQ XSSHU UDFN positions as placing food closer to the broil element increases smoking, spattering, and the possibility of fats igniting. For best performance center food below the broil heating element. Broiling on rack position 7 is not recommended.
Try broiling foods that you would normally grill. Adjust rack positions to adjust the intensity of the heat to the food. Place foods closer to the broil element when a seared surface and rare interior is desired. Thicker foods and foods that need to be cooked through should be broiled on a rack position farther from the broiler or by using Broil Lo.

Cleaning the Range – Exterior
Be sure all controls are off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the range.
WARNING If your range is removed for cleaning, servicing or any reason, be sure the antitip device is reengaged properly when the range is replaced. Failure to take this
precaution could result in tipping of the range and can result in death or serious burns to children or adults.
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 inside of the knobs are dry before replacing.
Replace the knobs, in the OFF position to ensure proper placement.
Control Panel
It’s a good idea to wipe the control panel after each use. |

When cleaning surfaces, make sure that they are at room temperature and not in direct sunlight.
If stain on the door vent trim is persistent, use a mild abrasive cleaner and a sponge-scrubber for best results.
Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces and basting liquids containing acids may cause discoloration and should be wiped up immediately. Let hot surfaces cool, then clean and rinse.

Lift-Up Cooktop
The entire cooktop may be lifted up and supported in the up position for easier cleaning.
The surface units do not need to be removed; however, you may remove one to make raising the cooktop easier. There are two side supports that lock into position when the cooktop is lifted up.
After cleaning under the cooktop with hot, mild soapy
