WARNINGANTI-TIPDEVICE

All rangescan tip and injury could result.

Toprevent accidental tipping of the range, attach it to the waft 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, carefully tip the range forward. The Anti--tip device should engage and pravent

the range from tipping over.

If you pull file rang_ out flom file wall %r any reason, make snre the device is properly

engv_ged when yon push the range back against the wall• If it is not, there is a pos0ble risk of the

range tipping over and causing inju U if yon or a child stand, sit or lean on an open door

Please refer to the Anti-Tip device infommtion in this manual. Failure to take this precaution

could resuh in tipping of the range and inju U.

IMPORTANTSAFETYNOtiCE

The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of

California to publish alist 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.

SAFETYPRECAUtiONS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:

Use this appliance only for its intended

Typeof Margarine Will Affect Baking Performanc!!

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.

Recipefailurecanresultffcakes,pies,pastries, cookiesorcandlesaremadewithlowfatspreads.

Thelowerthefatcontentofa spreadproduct,the

morenoticeablethesedifferencesbecome.

Federal standards require products labeled "marga_-h_e" to contain at least 80% tilt by

weight, ix)\_qilt spreads, on the other hand, contain less tilt and more water. The high

moisture content of these spreads affects the texture and flavor of baked goods. For

best results with your old til\'ofite redpes, rise margarine, butter or stick spreads

containing at least 70% vegetable oil.

Preheatingand PanPlacement

Preheat the oven if tile redpe calls fin" it. To preheat, set the oven at tile correct

temperature. Preheating is necessaiw fin. good results when baldng cakes, cookies,

past U and b*'eads.

Forovenswithout apreheat ihdleatorlight or tone,

preheat 10m/butes.

Onsome models,the d/spley will show "PilE" while preheat/bg.When the ovenreachesthe

selected temperature,the ovencontrol will beep and the d/spleywill show the oventemperature.

Baking results will be better if baking pans are centered in tile o_ell as Ill[/ch as

possible. Pans should not touch each other or tile walls of tile oven. If you need to use

two shelves, stagger tile pans so one is not directly abo\v tile othe*; and leave

appro_mately 1½" Ks)m the fl'ont ot tile pan to tile fl'ont ot tile shell

Cutslits inthe foiljustlike flTegrid.

Aluminum Foil

Never cover the oven bottom with aluminum foil.

You can use ahmfinum fi)il to line the

broiler pan and broiler g_id. Howexe_;

you must mold the fifil tightly to the

gt'id and cut slits in it just like the grid.

_Muminum fi)il may also be used m catch a spillove_: To do so, place a small sheet of

fifil on a lower shelf several inches below the toed.

Never entirely cover a shelf with aluminum tbil. This will disturb the heat circulation

and result in poor baking.

Leavethe door opento thebroil stop position. Thedoorstays open by itself, yet theproper temperatere is

maintained in the oven.

Flooring under the range Your range, like many other household items,

is heaw and can settle into soft floor coverings such as cushioned vinyl or carpeting.

When moving the range on this type of flooring, it should be installed on a 1/4" thick sheet of plywood (or similar material)

as follows: When the floor covering ends at the front

of the range, the area that the range will rest on should be built up with plywood to the same level or higher than the floor covering. This will allow the range to be moved for cleaning or servicing.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

CAUTION: For personal safety,

do not use an extension cord with this appliance. Remove house fuse or open circuit

breaker before beginning installation.

This appliance must be supplied with the proper voltage and frequency, and connected to an individual properly grounded branch circuit, protected by a circuit breaker or fuse having amperage as specified on the rating plate. The rating plate is located above the storage drawer or warming drawer on the

oven frame. We recommend you have the electrical wiring

and hookup of your range connected by a qualified electrician. After installation, have the electrician show you where your main range disconnect is located.

Check with your local utilities for electrical codes which apply in your area. Failure to wire your oven according to governing codes

could result in a hazardous condition. If there are no local codes, your range must be wired

and fused to meet the requirements of the

National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70--

Latest Edition. You can get a copy by writing:

National Fire Protection Association

Batterymarch Park

Quincy, MA 02269

Effective January 1, 1996, the National

Electrical Code requires that new construction (not existing) utilize a 4-conductor connection to an electric range.

When installing an electric range in new construction, follow Steps 3 and 5 for 4-wire

connection.

You must use a 3-wire, single-phase A.C. 208Y/120 Volt or 240/120 Volt, 60 hertz electrical system. If you connect to aluminum wiring, properly installed connectors approved for use with aluminum wiring

must be used. If the electrical service provided does not

meet the above specifications, have a licensed electrician install an approved outlet.

ALL NEW CONSTRUCTIONS,

MOBILE HOMES AND INSTALLATIONS WHERE LOCAL CODES DO NOT

ALLOW GROUNDING THROUGH NEUTRAL

Use only a 3-conductor or a 4-conductor UL-listed range cord. These cords may be

provided with ring terminals on wire and

a strain relief device.

A range cord rated at 40 amps with 125/250

minimum volt range is required. A 50 amp

range cord is not recommended but if used, it

should be marked for use with nominal 13/8"

diameter connection openings. Care should

be taken to center the cable and strain relief within the knockout hole to keep the edge

from damaging the cable.

* Because range terminals are not accessible

after range is in position, flexible service conduit or cord must be used.

NOTE: If conduit is being used, go to Step 3D

and then to Step 6 or 7.

• On some models, a filter capacitor may be connected between the black and white

leads on the junction block.

tighten. Allow enough slack to easily attach the cord terminals to the terminal

block. If tabs are present at the end of the winged strain relief, they can be

removed for better fit.

NOTE: Do not install the power cord without a strain relief. The strain relief bracket should be installed before

reinstalling the rear range wiring cover.

OPERATION CHECKLIST

Turn on one of the surface units to observe that the element glows within 60 seconds.

Turn the unit off when glow is detected. If the glow is not detected within the time

limit, recheck the range wiring connections.

If change is required, retest again. If no change is required, have building wiring checked for proper connections and voltage.

Check to make sure the Clock (on models so equipped) display is energized. If a series

of horizontal red lines appear in the display, disconnect power immediately. Recheck the

range wiring connections. If change is

made to connections, retest again. If no change is required, have building wiring checked for proper connections and voltage. It is recommended that the clock

be changed if the red lines appear.

Be sure all range controls are in the OFF

position before leaving the range.

FINAL INSTALLATION

CHECKLIST

• Check to make sure the circuit breaker is closed (RESET) or the circuit fuses are

replaced.

• Be sure power is in service to the building.

• Note (on some models): If the clock flashes

"bAd" and then "LinE" with a loud tone,

the neutral connection to the range is

miswired. Check the terminal block

connections and/or house wiring to correct.

• Check to be sure that all packing materials

and tape have been removed. This will include tape on metal panel under control knobs (if applicable), adhesive tape, wire

ties, cardboard and protective plastic.

Failure to remove these materials could result in damage to the appliance once the

appliance has been turned on and surfaces have heated.

• Check to make sure that the rear leveling

leg is fully inserted into the Anti-Tip bracket and that the bracket is securely installed.
