WARNING!

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 birth defects or other reproductive harm, and
requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.

Gasappliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon
monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas or
LP fuels. Properly adjusted burners, indicated by a bluish rather than a yeflow flame, will minimize
incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized by venting with an open

window or using a ventilation fan or hood.

SAFETYPRECAUTIONS

Have the installer show you the location of the range gas shut-off valve and how to shut it off if necessary.

;_;Hate your rang_ installed and properly ;_;Plug your rang_ into a 190_\_lt grounded

grounded by a qualified installer, in

accordance with the Installation Insuucdons.

Any adjustment and service should be
perfo,_ned only by qualified gas rang>

installers or service technicians.

_:;i_'Do not attempt to repair or replace any

part of your range unless it is specifically

recommended in this manual. All other
service should be refetTed to a qna]ified

WARNING!

SURFACEBURNERS

Use proper pan size--avoid pans that are unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware having flat bottoms

large enough to cover burner grates. To avoid spillovers, make sure cookware is large enough to contain

the food properly. This will both save cleaning time andprevent hazardous accumulations of food, since

heavy spattering or spillovers left on range can ignite. Usepans with handles that can be easily grasped

and remain cool

_t{_;Always use tile LITE position when igniting

Thetype of margarine 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 maynot give the same results as with a higherfat product.

Recipe failure can result ff 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 "ii/ai'gaiJne" to COllt;lin at least 80% flit by weight. Ix)w fht spreads, on tile
other hand, contain less tat and more wamx: The high moisture content (ff these spreads affects the texture and flavor

of baked goods. For best results with vour old ti_\'o_im redpes, use mmgafine, butmr or stick spreads containing at least
70% vegetable oil.

21

Usingthe self-cleaning oven.

Never force the latch handle. Forcing the handle will damage the door lock mechanism.
The oven door must be closed and all controls set correctly for the cycle to work properly.

Before a Clean Cycle

Wipe up heavy soil on the oven

bottom.

For tile ti_t selfklean cycle, we re(onmlend
venting your kitchen with an open window

or using a ventilation tim or hood.
Remove tile shelves, broiler pan, broiler

grid, all cookware and anv ahuninuin toil
fl'om the oven.

Tile oxen shelxes can be self-cleaned,
but they will darken, lose their luster
and become hard to slide.

Do not rise COillil/ei'cial ()veil cleanei_ oi"
oven protectors in or near tile self-cleaning

oven. A coillbination ol anv ol these

products plus tile high clean cycle
temperatures may damage tile porcelain

finish of tile ()veil.

Soil on tile fl'ont fl'ame of tile range and
outside the gasket on the door will need

to be cleaned by hand. Clean these areas
with hot water; soap-filled scom_ing pads

or cleansei_ such as Soft Scrub?
Rinse well with clean water and dry:

Do not clean tile gasket. Tile fiberglass
material of the oven door gasket cmmot

withstand abrasion. It is essential for the
gasket to remain intact. If you notice it

becoming worn or fl'ayed, replace it.
_]pe up any hear)' spillove_ on tile oven

CAUTION:Thegratesa.ddrippa.s

(if so equipped) should never be cleaned in the

®

[] For your satiety, never use yore" range lk)r warming

or heating the room. Your oven and cooktop are
not designed to heat yore" kitchen. Top bm'ners

should not be operated without cookware on the
grate. Such abuse could resuh in fire and damage

to your range and will void yore" warranty.

[] Do not store or use combustible materials,

gasoline or other flammable _;q)ors and liquids
in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

Explosions 05" fires could result.

[] Do not use oven fi>r a storage area. Items stored in

the oven can ignite.

[] Do not let cooking grease or other flammable

materials accmnulate in or near the range.

To prevent accidentM tipping of the range,
attach an approved Anti-Tip device to the
wall. (See Installing the Anti-_p Device in this

section.) To check if the device is installed
and engaged properly, carefully tip the range

forwaxd. The Anti-Tip device should engage
aa_d prevent the range from tipping over.

If you pull the range out from the wall for
any reason, make sure the Anti-Tip device

is engaged when you push the range bacl_
agMnst the wall.

LOCATION

Do not locate the range where it may be subject to strong
drafts. Any openings in the floor or wall behind the rmlge

should be sealed. Make sure the openings around the
base of the rm_ge that supply fresh air for combustion

mad ventilation axe not obs_'ucted by cm'peting or
woodwork.

Ymr range, like many other household itelns, is hea\ T

and can settle into soft floor coverings such as cushioned
vinyl (5I" call)efilxg. Use care when moving the range

on this Q'pe (51flOOlJng. It is recolmnelxded that the
following siml)le and inexpensive ilxstrucfions be

followed to protect your flOOl:

The range should be installed on a sheet of plywood

(or silnilar inaterial). V_]_en the floor covering ends at

the fl'ont (ff the range, the area that the range will rest
on sh(suld be built up with plywood t(5 the same level or

higher than the floor c(svering.

This will allow the range to be moved fi)r cleaning
or seI_'icing. _Mso, inake sure your floor covering will

withstand I80°F. (See the InstallationSafetyInstructions
secfiOlX.)

Make sure the wall coverings ar()und your range can
withstand the heat generated (up to 200°F) by the range.

(See the Installation Safoty Instructions section.)

IMPORTANT!

Remove all tape and packaging. Make sure the burners
are properly seated and level.

Lift up the cooktop (on models with staa_daxd twin
burners) and remove any packing material under it.

Take the accessory pack out of the oven mid/or drawer.

Check to be sure that no rm_ge parts have come loose
during shipping.

[] CONNECT THE RANGE TO GAS

Shut off the matin gas supply valve before disconnecting
the old range and leave it off until the new hookup has

been completed. Don't forget to relight the pilot on other
gas appliances when you turn the gas back on.

Because hard piping restricts movement of tile range,
tile use (ff a CSA ]nternational-celqfified flexible metal

appliance connector is recommended unless local codes
require a hard-piped connection.

Never use all oM comlector when installing a new range.
If tile hard piping method is used, you must careflflly

align tile pipe; the range cannot be moved alter tile

connection is made.

To pre', ent gas leaks, put pipe joint compotmd on, or
wrap pipe thread rope with Teflon* around, all male

how to shut off the gas supply to tile range.

B. Install male 1/2" flare union adapter to tile 1/2" NPT

internal thread at inlet of regulatol: Llse a backup
wrench on tile regulator fitting to avoid damage.

When installing the range ti'om the ti'ont, remove the
90 ° elbow ti)r easier installation.

C. Install male 1/2" or 3/4" flare ration adapter to tile
