WARNINGANTI-TIPDEVICE

All ranges can tipand injurycould result.

Toprevent accidental tipping of the range, attach it to the wall and floor by installing the Anti- tip

device supplied.
If the Anti- tip device supplied with the range does not fit this application, use the universal Anti- 77p

device WB2X7909.

Tocheck if the device is installed and engaged properly, remove the kick panel or storage drawer

and inspect the rear leveling leg. Make sure it fits securely into the slot.

If you pull the range out from the wall lbr any reason, make sure tile device is properly
engaged when you push the range back against the wall. If it is not, there is a possible risk of
tile range tipping over and causing injury if you or a child stand, sit or lean on an open d_r.

Please refer m the Anti-Tip device information in this manual. Failure m take this precaution
could result in tipping of the range and injury.

IMPORTANTSAFETYNOTICE

The Califomia Safe Drinking Water and ToxicEnforcement Act requires the Govemor of Califomia 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.

cooktop. They could damage the range

and even tip it over, causing severe
personal injmy.

WARNING!

SAFETYPRECAUTIONS

Do not operate the oven or cooktop controls if the glass is broken. Food splatter or cleaning solution
may penetrate a broken control panel and create a risk of electrical shock. Contact a qualified
technician immediately should your glass control panel become broken.

N Do not store flammable materials in

an oven or near tile c_ktop.

CAUtiON:Items of interest to

children should not be stored in cabinets
above a range or on tile backsplash of a

range--children climbing on tile range
m reach items could be seriously irgured.

N Never wear loose41tting or hanging

garments while using the appliance.
Be careful when reaching Ior items stored

over tile range. Flammable material could
be ignited if brought in contact with hot

surface units or heating elements and may
cause severe bums.

N Use only di T lx_t holders-moist or damp

pot holders on hot surfaces may result in
burns ['rom steam. Do not let pot holders

Much hot surface units or heating
elements. Do not use a towel or other

bulky cloth in place of pot holders.

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 tile van completely with

a well41tting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray.
Use a multi-pu_se dry chemical or

Ibam-type fire extinguisher
Flaming grease outside a pan can be put

out by covering it with baking soda or;
if a_lable, by using a multi-purpose dry

RADIANTSURFACEUNITS

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.

@ Never leave tile surface units unattended

at high heat setting. Boilovers cause
smoking and greas T spillove_s that may

catch on fire.

N Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic,

earthenware or other glazed containe*:s
are suitable lbr cooktop service; others

may break because of tile sudden change
in temperature.

N To minimize the possibility of burns,

ignition of flammable materials and
spillage, tile handle of a container

should be turned toward tile center of
the range witilout extending over nearby

surface units.

@ Always turn tile surlSce units off belbre

N Avoid scratching the glass cookmp.

Tile c_ktop can be scratched with items

such as sharp instruments, rin_ or other

jewelry, and rivets on clothing.

@ Do not operate tile radiant surface units if

tile glass is broken. Spillovers or cleaning

when it is in use. They may become hot

and could cause burns.

@ (;lean the cookmp with caution. Ifa wet

sponge or cloth is used m wipe spills on a

burns. Some cleaners can produce
noxious fumes if applied m a hot surface.

NOTE: We recommend that you avoid
wiping any surface unit areas until they

have c_led and the indicator light has
gone off. Sugarspills are the exception

tothis.Please see the Cleaning the glass

recommended,

Stainless Steel:

recommended

Aluminum:

Good conductMry. _Muminum residues
sometimes appear as scratches on tile

cookmp, but can be removed if cleaned
immediately. Because of its low melting

point, thin weight aluminum should not
be used.

Copper Bottom:

recommended

Copper may leave residues which can
appear as .scratches. The residues can be

removed, as long as the cooktop is
cleaned immediately. Howevm; do not let

these pots boil dry. Overheated metal can
bond to glass cooktops. An overheated

copper tx_ttom pot will leave a residue
that will permanently stain the cooktop

if not removed immediately.

Porcelain Enamel-CoveredCastIron:

recommended

As long as the cookw_re is covered
completely with porcelain enamel, this

cookware is recommended. Caution is

Aluminum foil may also be used to catch a

Never endrely cover a shelf with aluminum

Adjust the oventhennostatmDo # 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.

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.

Thetypeofmargarine will affect bakingperformance!

Most recipes for baking have been developed using high-fat products such as butter or margarine (80%fat). If you
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. Thelower the fat
content of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become.

Federal standards require products labeled "margarine" m contain at least 80% fht by weight. Low-Pat spreads,
on the other hand, contain less fat and more water: The high moisture content of these spreads affects the

texture and flavor of baked goods. For hest results with your old favorite recipes, use margarine, butter or

stick spreads containing at least 70% vegetable oil.
