Adjustthe upperoventhermostat--Do ityourself!
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 degrees.
NOTE."This adjustment will not affect the broiling or the self-cleaning temperatures. The adjustment will be retained in memory after a power failure.

Thetype ofmargarine will affect bakingperformanc!!
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. The lower the fat
content of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become.
Federal standards require products labeled "margarine" to contain at least 80% lilt by weight, i.ow tilt spreads, on tile
other hand, contain less lilt and more water: Tile high moisture content of these spreads affects tile textm'e and flavor of 1)aked goods. For best results with your old til\'orite recipes, use margmine, 1)utter or stick spreads contnining at least
70% vegetnble oil.

Burner Grates
Appearance may varg
Thegrates may be cleaned in a dishwasher.
LeftFront Center RightFront
Your range has three professional-sQ:le
double grates. These grates are position- specific. For maMnmm stabilit,i, these grates
should only be used in their proper position; they cannot be interchanged left
to right or fl'ont to back. Dn" convenience, the unde_Mdes of the left and right grates
are marked "I,EFT FRONT" and "IUGHT FRONT." Make sure the fl'ont portion of
both grates is in fl'ont. The middle grate
has a bow in fl'ont. Make sure the bowed
portion is towards the fl'ont of the range.
Cleaning
i,ifl out when cool. Grates should be
washed regularly and, of com_e, after spillove_. _M_sh them in hot, soapy water
and rinse with clean water: When replacing
the grates, be sure they are positioned
securely over the burne_. Replace the grates so that continuous arcs are totaled
with the center ribs of all three grates.
Do not opel'ate a btli'nei" fi)i" }lil extended
period _ff time without cookware on the grate. The finish on the grate may chip
without cookware to absorb the heat.
To get rid of burne(bon tood, place the grates in a covered container. Add 1/4 cup
ammonia and let them soak several horns or overnight. Wash, rinse well and (h_'.
Mthough they are durable, the grates will
gradually lose their shine, regardless of the best care you can give them. This is due
to their continual exposure m high temperatures. You will notice this
sooner with lighter color grates.
NOTE:Do not clean thegrates in aself-cleaning oven.
CooktopSurface (onporcelain cooktop models)
To avoid damaging the porcelain enamel stlrfilce of the cooktop and to prevent it
from becoming dull, clean up spills _ight away Foods with a lot of acid (tomatoes,
sauerkraut, fl'uitjuices, etc.) or fi)ods with
high sugar content could cause a dull spot
if allowed to set.
When the surfi_ce has cooled, wash and
rinse. For other spills such as tilt spattedngs, etc., wash with soap and water once the
surfi_ce has cooled. Then rinse and polish with a (h_' cloth.

placing a cookie sheet on the shelf below
the shelf you are cooking on. This is
particularly important when baking a fl'uit pie or other fl)ods with a high acid content.
Hot fl'uit fillings or other fi)ods that are highly acidic (such as tomatoes, sauerkraut
and sauces with vinegar or lemon juice) nlay cause pitting and damage to the

If you pull the range out from the wall for may reason, make sure the Anti-Tip device
is engaged when you push the rmige back agMnst the wall.
LOCATION
Do not locate the rmage where it may be subject to strong drafts. Any openings in the floor or wall behind
the rmage should be sealed. Make sure the openings around the base of the range that supply fresh air for combustion mad ventilation axe not obstructed by carpeting or woodwork.
Your range, like ulany other household itenis, is
heavy and can settle into soft floor coverings such as cushioned vinyl or carpeting. Use care when nioving tile range on this type of flooring. It is i'ecolulnended that tile tOlh)wing silnple and inexpensive instluctions be tollowed to protect your floor.
Tile range should be installed on a sheet of plywood
(or siulilar niaterial), When the floor covering ends at the fl'ont of the range, the area that the range will rest on should be built up with plywood to tile saule level or higher than the floor covering.
This will allow tile range to be nioved flir cleaning or servicing. Pdso, ulake sure your floor covering will
withstand 180°F. (See tile Installation Safety Instructions section.)
Make sure tile wall coverings _li'o/ind vo/u" range C_lll
withstand tile heat generated (up tti 200°F) by tile ran ,e (See tile Installation Safety Instructions section.)
IMPORTANT!

tile inlet pressure inust be at least 1" greater than tile operating (manifl)ld) pressure as given above.
Tile pressure regulator located at tile inlet of tile range manifl)ld must remain in tile supply line regardless of
whether natural or I,P gas is being used. A flexible I51etal appliance connector used to connect
tile range to the gas supply line should have an I.D. of 1/2" and be 5 teet in length fin" ease of installation. Ii5
Canada, flexible connectors must be single wall inetal connectors no longer than 6 feet in length.
[] CONNECT THE RANGE TO GAS
Shut off the main gas supply valve before discmmecting the old range and leave it off mltil the new hook-up has been completed. Don't forget to relight the pilot on other gas applimices when you turn the gas back on.
Because hard piping restricts movement of tile range, tile use of a CSA hsterlmtiolml-certified flexible inetal
appliance connector is recommended unless local
codes require a hard-piped connection.
Never use an old connector when installing a new range, If the hard piping method is used, you must carefully align the pipe; tile range cannot be moved
alter tile connection is inade.
To prevent gas leaks, put i)ipe joint compound oi5, or wrap pipe thread tape with Teflon* around, all inale
(external) pipe threads.
A. Install a manual gas line shut-off valve in tile gas line
in an easily accessed location outside of the range. Make sure eveiyone operating tile range knows where and how to shut off the gas supply to the
I'}115ge.
Install male 1/2" flare union adapter to tile 1/2" NPT internal thread at inlet of regulator. Use a backup wrench oi5 tile regulator fitting to avoid damage,
When installing tile range fl'om tile fl'ont, remove
the 90 ° elbow tot easier installation.
Install male 1/2" or 3/4" flare union adapter to tile NPT internal thread of the manual shut-ott wflve,
taking care to back-up the shut-ott wflve to kee I) it fl'Oln turning.
D. Connect flexible metal appliance connector to tile
adapter on the range. Position range to permit connection at tile shut-ott wflve.
When all connections have been made, make sure all range controls are in tile off position and turn on
tile main gas supply valve. Use a liquid leak detector at all joints and connections to check fin" leaks in the
svstei55.
WARNING: oo NOTUSEA
FLAME TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.
When using test pressures greater than 1/2 psig to pressure test tile gas supply systeln of tile residence,
disconnect tile range and individual shut-ott valve fl'Oln tile gas supply piping. When using test pressures of 1/2
psig or less to test the gas supply system, simply isolate
tile range ti'om tile gas supply system by closing tile
individual shut-oft wflve.

120-volt, 60 Hertz, properly grounded dedicated circuit
protected by a 15-amp or 20-mnp circuit breaker or
time delay fuse.
Extension Cord Cautions
Because of potential satiety hazards associated
with certain conditions, we strongly recommend against
the use of an extension cord. However; if you still elect to use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that
it be a /JIAisted, 3-wire grotmding-tyi)e appliance
extension cord and that the cmTent carrying rating of the cord in amperes be equivalent to, or greater than,
the circuit rating. Grounding
IMPORTANT--(Please read carefully) FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE MUST
BE PROPERLY GROUNDED.
PreferredMethod
[] ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS (CONT.)
A. Usage Situations where Appliance Power Cord will
be Disconnected Infrequently,
An adapter may be used only on a 15-amp circuit.
Do not use an adapter on a 20-amp circuit. Where local codes permit, a TEMPORARY CONNECTION may be made to a properly grounded two-prong wall
receptacle b)' the use of a /JL-listed adapter, awdlable at most hardware stores, The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned with the larger slot in the wall
receptacle to provide proper polarity in the
com_ection of the power cord.
TemporaryMethod

use
Ensureproperground existsbeforeuse
The power cord of this appliance is equii)i)ed with a
three-prong (grotmding) i)lug which mates with a
standard three-prong grotmding wall receptacle to minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard fl'om
this appliance.
The customer should have the wall receptacle and
circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sm'e the receptacle is properly grotmded.
Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is
encountered, it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to have it replaced with a
properly grotmded three-prong wall receptacle.
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES,
CUT OR REMOVE THE THIRD (GROUND) PRONG
FROM THE POWER CORD.
A word about GFCI's - GFCI's axe not required or
recommended for gas range receptacles.
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCI's) are devices that sense leakage of current in a circuit and
automatically switch off power when a threshold leakage level is detected, These devices must be manually reset by the consmner, The National Electrical
Code reqtfires the use of GFCI's in kitchen receptacles
installed to serve counterto I) surfilces. Peril)finance of
the range will not be alti_cted if operated on a GFCI-
protected circuit but occasional nuisance tripping of
the GFCI breaker is possible.
CAUTION: Att ,chi,,gtheadapter
grotmd terminal to the wall receptacle cover screw does not grotmd the appliance unless
the cover screw is metal, and not insulated, and the wall receptacle is grotmded through the house wiring. The custoiner should have
the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make stu'e the receptacle is properly
grotmded.
When disconnecting the power cord fl'om the adapte_; always hold the adapter with one hand. If this is not
done, the adapter ground terminal is very likely to break with repeated use. Should this hai)pen, DO NOT USE the appliance tmtil a proper grotmd
has again been established.

B. Usage Situations where Appliance Power Cord will
be Disconnected Frequently.
Do not use an adapter phtg in these situations because disconnecting of tile power cord places undue strain on
tile adapter and leads to eventual failure of tile adapter ground terminal. The customer should have the two- prong wall receptacle replaced with a three-prong
(gro/mding) receptacle by a qualified electrician
