All ranges can tip and injury could result.

Topre vent accidental tipping of the range, attach it to the wall and floor by installing the Anti--tip
device supplied.

Tocheck if the device is installed and engaged properly, remove the kick panel or storage drawer
and inspect the rear leveling leg. Make sure # fits securely into the slot.

ffyou pull die rang_ out from dm wall for aW reason, make sure die device is properly

IMPORTANTSAFETYNOtiCE

The California Safe Drinking Water and ToxicEnforcement 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.
Fluorescent light bulbs contain mercury. If your model has a surface light, you must recycle the

fluorescent light bulb according to local, state and federal codes.

SURFACECOOKINGUNITS

Use proper pan size--select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit

heating element. The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of the surface unit to direct

contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of cookware to surface unit will also

improve efficiency.

Ne_r leave the surfiwe units unattended
at high heat setfing:s. Boilox_rs cause

smoking and gseasy spillox_rs that may
catch on fire.

Do not use aluminum %il to line flse dii I)
pans or an>vhere in the oven except as

descs-ibed in this manual. Misuse could
result in a shock, fire hazard or damag>

to dse rang>.
Be sure the drip pans and flse x_nt duct

are not co_ered and are in place. Their
absence during cooking could damag>

rang_ parts and wiring.
Only certain types of glass, glassAeramic,

earthenware or offset glazed containers are
suitable for cookmp sesMce; others may

break because of the sudden chang> in
temperature.

To minimize the possibility of bmrls,
ignition of flammable mamrials and

spillage, fl_e handle of a container
should be turned toward the center

of the rang_ wifllont exmnding ox_r
nearby surface units.

Always turn the surface units off before

removing cookware.
Do not immerse or soak the removable

surface units. Do not put flsem in a
dishwashen Do not self-clean the surthce

units in the oxen.

When preparing flaming foods under dse

hood, tuI'n the tim on.

To a_id fl_e possibility of a bnrll 05
electric shock, always be certain that the

connols for all surthce units are at the

OFFposiuon and all coils are cool before

atmmpfing tolift 05 remox_ a unit.
Clean the cooktop with caution. It"a wet

sponge is used to wipe spills on a hot
cooktop, be careflfl to a_id smam bnrrls.

Kee I) an eye on foods being fried at high
or medium high heat settings.

Foods for flTing should be as d U as

possible. Frost on fiozen foods or moistule
on flesh fbods can cause hot fat to bubble

up and ox>r the sides of the pan.
Use litde t:at for efl_cdve shallow or deep

t:at flTing. Filling the pan too flfll of tzatcan
cause spilloxers when food is added.

If a combination of oils or fats will be used
in fi?'ing, stir mg>ther before heating, or as

tzarsmelt slowly.

Always heat fiat slowly, and watch as it heats.

Use a deep Pat them_omemr whenexer

?dtlI//intllll cookware con(hlc[s heat fi_ster

than other metals. Cas[-iron and coated

cas[-iron cookware are slow to }lbsorb

heat, but generally cook evenly at low to
medium heat settings. Smel pans may

cook unevenly if not combined with
other metals.

For best cooking results, pans should be
fiat on the bottom. Match the size of the

saucei)an to the size of the sm_i_ce trait.
The pan should not extend over the

edge ot the sm_hce trait more than l".

Use only flat-bottomed woke.

wok. Theyareavailableat your localretail store.

Do not use woks that have SUl)port rings.
Placing the ring over the surtilce unit will

Cut slits in the foil just like the grid.

Aluminum Foil

Youcanusealuminum foil to finethe broi/erpan

tightly to thegrid andcut sfits in itjust /ike thegrid

Without the slits, tile fl)il will prevent fat
and meat juices fl'om draining into the

broiler pan. The juices could become
hot enough to catch on fire. If you do

not cut the slits, you are essentially
fl'ying, not broiling.

Donot usealuminum foil on thebottom of
the oven.

Never entirely cover a shelf with
almninmn fi)il. This will disturb the heat

circulation and result in poor baking.
A smaller sheet of foil may be used to

catch a spillover by placing it on a lower
shelf several inches below the fi)od.

Adjustthe oventhermostat--Do it yourself!

Youmay find that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. Use your new oven for a few
weeks to become more familiar with it. If you still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust
the thermostat yourself.

Donot use thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of your oven.
These thermometers may vary 20_40°F.

Thetype ofmargarine will affect bakingperformance!

Most recipes for baking have been developed using high fat products such as butter or margarine (80%fat). ff you

decrease the fat, the recipe may not give the same results as with a higher fat product.

Recipe failure can result ff 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.

Federal standards require products labeled "illai'_alJne" to ('on[ain at least 80% tilt by weight, ix_w tilt spreads, on the

other hand, contain less tilt and more water: The high moisture content _ff these spreads affects the texture and flavor

of baked goods. For best results with umr old tm:otim redpes, use mmgarine, butter or sock spreads containing at least

70% vegetable oil.
