Flooring Under the Range

Your range,

like so many other household items, is heavy 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 l/4-inch-thick sheet of plywood (or

similar material) as follows:

Leveling the Range

Use a

1%”

open-end or adjustable wrench to equally

back out the four legs. The flanges (rims) below the

sides of the cooktop must be raised above the top of the countertop. Carefully slide the range into its installation space. Observe that it is clearing the countertop. Then place a spirit level or a glass measuring cup partially filled with water on one of the oven shelves to check for levelness. If using a spirit level, take two readings, with the level placed diagonally first in one direction and then the other.

—

Adjust the four legs carefully. Level the range front to back and side to side. The range legs must rest on the floor. The range

must not hang

from the countertop.

How to Remove Packaging Tape

To assure no damage is done to the finish of the product, the safest way to remove packaging tape

adhesive on new appliances is an application of a

household liquid dishwashing detergent, mineral oil

or cooking oil. Apply with a soft cloth and allow to soak. Wipe dry and then apply an appliance polish to thoroughly clean and protect the surface.

NOTE: The plastic tape must be removed from the chrome trim on range parts. It cannot be removed if it is baked on.

Removing Packing Materials

Check your range to insure all packaging materials and protective tape covering are removed from areas such as the door trim, cooktop frame, end caps, etc. before using.

HOW DOES THIS COOKTOP COMPARE

TO YOUR OLD ONE?

Your new cooktop has gas burners. If you are used

to cooking with induction or other electric surface units, you will notice some differences when you use gas burners,

or natural gas. Electric coils

How it Works

Flames heat the pans directly. Pan flatness is not critical to cooking results, but pans should be well balanced. Gas burners heat the pan right away and change heat settings right away. When you turn the control off, cooking stops right away.

Heat travels to the glass surface and then to the cookware, so pans must be flat on the bottom for good cooking results. The glass cooktop stays hot enough to continue cooking after it is turned off. Remove the pan from the surface unit if you want cooking to stop.

Induction

Electric Coil

Solid Disk

High frequency induction coils under a glass

surface.

Flattened metal tubing containing electric resistance wire suspended over a drip pan.

Solid cast iron disk sealed to the cooktop surface.

Pans must be made of ferrous metals (metal that attracts a magnet). Heat is produced by a magnetic circuit between the coil and the pan. Heats up right away and changes heat settings right away, like a gas cooktop. After turning the control

off, the glass cooktop is hot from the heat of the pan, but cooking stops right away. Heats by direct contact with the pan and by heating the air under the pan. For best

cooking results, use good quality pans. Electric coils are more forgiving of warped pans than radiant or solid disks. Heats up quickly but does not change heat settings as quickly as gas or induction. Electric coils stay hot enough to continue cooking for a short time after they are turned off.

Heats by direct contact with the pan, so pans must be flat on the bottom for good cooking results. Heats up and cools down more slowly than electric coils. The disk stays hot enough to continue cooking after it is turned off. Remove the pan from the solid disk if you want the cooking to stop.

The best types of cookware to use, plus heat-up and cool-down times, depend upon the type of burner or

surface unit you have.

The following chart will help you to understand the differences between gas burner cooktops and any other type of cooktop you may have used in the past.

SUREACE COOKING

Electric Ignition

Your surface burners are lighted by electric ignition, eliminating the need for standing pilot lights with constantly burning flames.

In case of a power failure, you can light the surface burners on your range with a match. Hold a lighted match to the burner, then turn the knob to the LITE position. Use extreme caution when lighting burners this way.

Surface burners in use when an electrical power failure occurs will continue to operate normally.

Surface Burner Controls

Knobs that turn the surface burners on and off are marked as to which burners they control. The two knobs on the left control the left front and left rear burners. The two knobs on the right control the right front and right rear burners.

If simmering on one burner and the other burners are turned on, the gas flow of the simmering burner may have to be adjusted.

After the burner ignites, turn the knob to adjust the flame size.

You may occasionally hear the igniter ticking, even though the burner is lit. This is normal and is caused by drafts or by air disturbances from nearby objects. For safety, the burner will attempt to relight whenever it senses that the flame is distorted.

How to Select Flame Size

Cookware

Aluminum: Medium-weight cookware is recommended because it heats quickly and evenly.

Most foods brown evenly in an aluminum skillet. Use saucepans with tight-fitting lids when cooking with minimum amounts of water.

Cast Iron: If heated slowly, satisfactory results.

Enamelware: Under some conditions, the enamel

of some cookware may melt. Follow cookware manufacturer’s recommendations for cooking methods.

Glass: There are two types of glass cookware-those for oven use only and those for top-of-range cooking (saucepans, coffee and teapots). Glass conducts heat very slowly.

Wok Cooking

We recommend that you use only a flat-bottomed wok. They are available at your local retail store.

Do not use woks that have support rings. Use of these types of woks, with or without the

in place, can be

dangerous. Placing the ring

over the burner grate may cause the burner to work improperly resulting in carbon monoxide levels above allowable current standards. This could be dangerous to your health. Do not try to use such woks without the ring. You could be seriously burned if the wok tipped over.

Before Using Your Oven

USING YOUR OVEN

1. Look at the controls. Be sure you understand

how to set them properly. Read over the directions for the Oven Controls so you understand how to use them.

2. Check the oven interior. Look at the shelves. Take a practice run at removing and replacing them properly, to give sure, sturdy support.

3. Read over information and tips that follow.

4. Keep this guide handy so you can refer to it, especially during the first weeks of using your new range.

Electric Ignition

The oven burner and broil burner are lighted by electric ignition.

To light either burner, touch the pad for the desired

function and press the INCREASE or DECREASE pad until the desired temperature is displayed. The burner should ignite within 30-90 seconds.

After the oven reaches the selected temperature, the burner cycles—off completely, then on with a full

flame-to keep the oven temperature controlled.

NOTE:

● You may notice a “burning” or “oily” smell the

first few times you turn your oven on. This is normal in a new oven and will disappear in a short time. To speed the process, set a self-clean cycle for a minimum of 3 hours. See the Operating the Cleaning Oven section.

A fan may automatically turn on and off to cool

internal parts. This is normal and the fan may continue to run even after the oven is turned off.

Shelf Positions

The oven has 4 shelf supports, identified in this illustration as A (bottom), B, C and D (top).

Shelf positions for cooking are suggested in the Baking, Roasting and Broiling sections.

Oven Light

The light comes on automatically when the oven door is opened. Use the switch on the control panel to turn the light on and off when the door is closed.

Oven Vent

Your oven is vented through ducts at the rear of the range. Do not block these ducts when cooking in the oven—it is important that the flow of hot air from the oven and fresh air to the oven burner be uninterrupted. Avoid touching the vent openings or nearby surfaces during oven or broiler

operation—

BAKING

Your oven temperature is controlled very accurately using an oven control system. We recommend that you operate the range for a number of weeks using the time given on recipes as a guide to become familiar with your new oven’s

perfomnance.

How to Set Your Range for Baking

To avoid possible burns, place shelves in the correct

position before you turn the oven on.

1. Press the BAKE pad.

2. Press the INCREASE or DECREASE pad until the desired temperature is displayed.

The oven will start automatically. The word “ON”

and “100°” will be displayed. As the oven heats up, the display will show the changing temperature. When the oven reaches the temperature you set, a tone will sound.

Oven Shelves

If you think an adjustment is necessary, see the Adjust the Oven Thermostat section. It gives easy

Arrange the oven shelf or shelves in the desired locations while the oven is cool. The correct shelf position depends on the kind of food and the browning desired. As a general rule, place-most foods in the middle of the oven, on either shelf positions B or C. See the chart for suggested shelf positions.

Preheating

Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it. Preheat means bringing the oven up to the specified temperature before putting the food in the oven.

Pans

Pan Placement

Use the proper baking pan. The type of finish on the pan determines the amount of browning that will occur.

● Dark, rough or dull pans absorb heat resulting in a

browner, crisper crust. Use this type for pies.

● Shiny, bright and smooth pans reflect heat, resulting

in a lighter, more delicate browning. Cakes and cookies require this type of pan.

● Glass baking dishes absorb heat. When baking in

glass baking dishes, the temperature may need to be reduced by

25”F.

For even cooking and proper browning, there must be enough room for air circulation in the oven. Baking results will be better if baking pans are centered as much as possible rather than being placed to the front or to the back of the oven.

Pans should not touch each other or the walls of the oven. Allow 1- to as from the back of the oven, the door and the sides. If you use two shelves, stagger the pans so one is not directly above the other.

Baking Guides

When using prepared baking mixes, follow package recipe or instructions for the best baking results.

When baking cookies, flat cookie sheets (without sides) produce better-looking cookies. Cookies baked

—

in a jelly roll pan (short sides all around) may have darker edges and pale or light browning may occur.

For best results, use only one cookie sheet in the oven at a time.

large that it touches the

l!A-inch

space between pans as well

Pies

For best results, bake pies in dark, rough or dull pans to produce a browner, crisper crust. Frozen pies in foil pans should be placed on an aluminum cookie sheet for baking since the shiny foil pan reflects heat away from the pie crust; the cookie sheet helps retain it.

Cakes

When baking cakes, warped or bent pans will cause uneven baking results and poorly shaped products.

A cake baked in a pan larger than the recipe

recommends will usually be crisper, thinner and drier

than it should be. If baked in a pan smaller than

recommended, it may be undercooked and batter may

overflow. Check the recipe to make sure the pan size used is the one recommended.

You may feel that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. We recommend that you

use your new oven for a few weeks to become more familiar with it, following the times given in your

recipes as a guide.

If you think your new oven is too hot or too cold,

you can adjust the thermostat yourself. If you think

it is too hot, adjust the thermostat to make it cooler. If

you think it is too cool, adjust the thermostat to make

Roasting is cooking by dry heat. Tender meat or poultry can be roasted uncovered in your oven. Roasting temperatures, which should be low and steady, keep spattering to a minimum.

Roasting is really a baking procedure used for meats. Therefore, oven controls are set for Baking or Timed Baking. (You may hear a slight clicking sound, indicating the oven is working properly.) Timed Baking will turn the oven on and off automatically.

Most meats continue to cook slightly while standing,

after being removed from the oven. The standing time

recommended for roasts is 10 to 20 minutes. This

allows roasts to firm up and makes them easier to

carve. The internal temperature will rise about 5° to

10”F.; to compensate for the temperature rise, if

desired, remove the roast from oven sooner (at 5° to

10”F. less than the temperature in the Roasting Guide).

Remember that food will continue to cook in the hot oven and therefore should be removed when the desired internal temperature has been reached.

Questions and Answers

Q. Is it necessary to check for doneness with a Q. Do I need to preheat my oven each time

meat thermometer?

A. Checking the finished internal temperature at the

completion of cooking time is recommended. Temperatures are shown in the Roasting Guide section. For roasts over 8 lbs., check with thermometer at half-hour intervals after half the cooking time has passed.

Q. Why is m~roast crumbling when I try to

carve it?

A. Roasts are easier to slice if allowed to cool 10 to

20 minutes after removing them from the oven. Be sure to cut across the grain of the meat.

I cook a roast or poultry?

A. It is not necessary to preheat your oven.

Q. When buying a roast, are there any special tips

that would help me cook it more evenly?

A. Yes. Buy a roast as even in thickness as possible,

or buy roiled roasts.

Q. Can I seal the sides of my foil “tent” when

roasting a turkey?

A. Sealing the foil will steam the meat. Leaving it

unsealed allows the air to circulate and brown

the meat.

ROASTING GUIDE

Frozen Roasts

Frozen roasts of beef, pork, lamb, etc., can be started without thawing, but allow 10 to 25 minutes per pound additional time (10 minutes per pound for roasts under 5 pounds, more time for larger roasts).

Make sure poultry is thawed before roasting. Unthawed poultry often does not cook evenly. Some commercial frozen poultry can be cooked successfully without thawing. Follow the directions given on the package label.

Broiling is cooking food by direct heat from above the food. Most fish and tender cuts of meat can be broiled. Follow these directions to keep spattering and

smoking to a minimum.

The oven door should be closed during broiling.

Turn the food only once during broiling. Time the

foods for the first side according to the Broiling

Guide. Turn the food, then use the times given for the second side as a guide to the preferred doneness.

1. If the meat has fat or gristle around the edge, cut

vertical slashes through both about 2“ apart. If desired, the fat may be trimmed, leaving layer about 1/8” thick.

2. Place the meat on the broiler rack on the broiler pan which comes with the range. Always use the rack so the fat drips into the broiler pan; otherwise the

juices may become hot enough to catch on fire.

3. Position the shelf on the recommended shelf

position as suggested in the Broiling Guide.

4. Close the oven door.

(—]

5. Press the BROIL pad.

BROIL

Use of Aluminum Foil

You can use aluminum foil to line your broiler pan and broiler rack. However, you must mold the foil tightly to the rack and cut slits in it just like the rack.

Without the slits, the foil will prevent fat and meat

juices from draining to the broiler pan. The juices

could become hot enough to catch on fire. If you do not cut the slits, you are frying, not broiling.

6. Press the INCREASE pad once for LO Broil or press the INCREASE pad twice for HI Broil.

change from HI Broil to LO Broil, press the

DECREASE pad once.

To change back to HI Broil, press the INCREASE pad once.

When broiling is completed, press the CLEAR/OFF

pad. Serve the food immediately, and leave the pan outside the oven to cool during the meal for easiest cleaning.

NOTE: A fan may automatically turn on and off to

cool internal parts. This is normal, and the fan may

continue to run after the oven is turned off.

Questions and Answers

Q. When broiling, is it necessary to always use a

rack in the pan?

A. Yes. Using the rack suspends the meat over the

pan. As the meat cooks, the juices fall into the pan, thus keeping meat drier. Juices are protected by the rack and stay cooler, thus preventing excessive spatter and smoking.

Q. Should I salt the meat before broiling? A. No. Salt draws out the juices and allows them to

evaporate. Always salt after cooking. Turn the meat with tongs; piercing the meat with a fork also allows the juices to escape. When broiling poultry or fish, brush each side often with butter.

Q. Do I need to grease my broiler rack to prevent

the meat from sticking?

A. No. The broiler rack is designed to reflect broiler

heat, thus keeping the surface cool enough to prevent the meat from sticking to the surface. However, spraying the broiler rack lightly with a vegetable cooking spray before cooking will make clean-up easier.

Page 24

BROILING GUIDE

● Always use the broiler pan and rack that comes with

your oven. It is designed to minimize smoking and spattering by trapping the juices in the shielded lower part of the pan.

● Broiling should always be done with the oven

door closed.

● For steaks and chops, slash fat evenly around the

outside edges of the meat. To slash, cut crosswise through the outer fat surface just to the edge of the meat. Use tongs to turn the meat over to prevent piercing the meat and losing the juices.

●

If desired, marinate meats or chicken before broiling

or brush with barbecue sauce last 5 to 10 minutes only.

edges hang over the sides because dripping fat could

soil the oven.

● The broiler does not need to be preheated. However,

for very thin foods, or to increase browning, preheat if desired.

● Use LO Broil to cook foods such as poultry or thick

pork chops thoroughly without over-browning them.

● Frozen steaks can be broiled by positioning the oven

shelf at next lowest shelf position and increasing

cooking time given in this guide 1 X times per side.

Quick Reminder:

1. Prepare the oven for cleaning.

2. Close the oven door.

3. Press the CLEAN pad.

4. Press the INCREASE or DECREASE pad to set the Clean Time.

Before a Clean Cycle

Normal Cleaning Time: 3 hours

The range must be completely cool in order to set the self-clean cycle.

We recommend venting with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood during the first self-clean cycle.

1. Remove the broiler pan, broiler rack, all cookware and any aluminum foil from the oven—they can’t withstand the high cleaning temperatures.

NOTE: The oven shelves may be cleaned in the self-cleaning oven. However, they will darken, lose their luster and become hard to slide.

2. Wipe up heavy soil on the oven bottom. If you use soap, rinse thoroughly before self-cleaning to prevent staining.

3. Clean spatters or soil on the oven front frame and

the oven door outside the gasket with a dampened cloth. The oven front frame and the oven door outside the gasket do not get cleaned by the clean cycle. On these areas, use detergent and hot water or a soap-filled steel wool pad. Rinse well with a vinegar and water solution. This will help prevent a brown residue from forming when the oven is heated. Buff these areas with a dry cloth. Do not clean the gasket.

Do not use abrasives or oven cleaners. Clean the top, sides and outside front of the oven door with soap and water.

Make sure the oven light bulb cover is in place. Do not rub or clean the door gasket—the

fiberglass material of the gasket has an extremely low resistance to abrasion. An intact well-fitting oven door gasket is essential for energy-efficient oven operation and good baking results. If you notice the gasket becoming worn, frayed or damaged in any way or if it has become displaced on the door, you should have it replaced.

Do not let water run down through openings in the top of the door. To help prevent water from getting in these slots when cleaning, open the door as far as it will go.

4. Close the oven door and make sure the oven light is off. If the oven light is not turned off, the life of the bulb will be shortened or it may burn out immediately. The door latches automatically after the clean cycle is set.

Do not use commercial oven cleaners or oven protectors in or near the self-cleaning oven.

A combination of any of these products plus the high clean-cycle temperature may damage the porcelain finish of the oven.

Questions and Answers

(continued)

Q. If my oven clock is not set to the correct time of

day, can I still self-clean my oven?

A. If the clock is not set to the correct time of day you

will not be able to set a delay clean to end at a specific time.

Q. Can I use commercial oven cleaners on any part

of my self-cleaning oven?

A.QNo cleaners or coatings should be used around any

part of this oven. If you do use them and do not thoroughly rinse the oven with water, wiping it absolutely clean afterwards, the residue can scar the oven surface and damage metal parts the next time the oven is automatically cleaned.

, What should I do if excessive smoking occurs

during cleaning?

This is caused by excessive soil. Press the

CLEAIUOFF pad. Open the windows to rid the

room of smoke. Wait until the oven has cooled and the word “LOCK” is off in the display. Wipe up the excess soil and reset the clean cycle.

Q. Is the “crackling” or “popping” sound I hear

during cleaning normal?

A. Yes. This is the sound of the metal heating and

cooling during both the cooking and cleaning

functions. Q. Should there be any odor during the cleaning? A. Yes, there will be an odor during the first few

cleanings. Failure to wipe out excessive soil might also cause a strong odor when cleaning.

Q. What causes the hair-like lines on the enameled

surface of my oven?

A. This is a normal condition, resulting from heating

and cooling during cleaning. These lines do not affect how your oven performs.

Q. Why do I have ash left in my oven after

cleaning?

Some types of soil will leave a deposit which is ash

It can be removed with a damp sponge or cloth.

Q. My oven shelves do not slide easily.

What is the matter?

A. After self-cleaning, the oven shelves will lose

their luster and become hard to slide. To make the shelves slide more easily, wipe the shelf supports with cooking oil.

Q. My oven shelves have become gray after the

self-clean cycle. Is this normal?

A. Yes. After the self-clean cycle, the shelves will

lose some luster and discolor to a deep gray color.

Q. Can I cook food on the cooktop while the oven

is self-cleaning?

A. Yes. While the oven is self-cleaning, you can use

the cooktop just as you normally do.

water, rinse with clean water and polish dry with a soft cloth.

Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong liquid cleansers, plastic scouring pads or oven cleaners on the control panel–they will damage the finish. A 50/50 solution of vinegar and hot water works well.

The control knobs may be removed for easier cleaning. Before removing the knobs for cleaning, please note that the knobs on the left side and the knobs on the right side are in the proper OFF position. When replacing the knobs, check the OFF position to insure proper alignment.

To get rid of burned-on food, place the grates

in a covered container or plastic bag. Add 1/4 cup

ammonia and let them soak for 30 minutes. Wash,

rinse well, and dry. Although they’re durable, the grates will gradually

lose their shine, give them. This is high temperatures.

Do not operate a burner for an extended period

of time without cookware on the grate. The finish

on the grate may chip without cookware to absorb the

heat.

To remove a knob, pull it straight off the stem. If a knob is difficult to remove, place a thin cloth (like a

handkerchief) or a piece of string under and around

the knob edge and pull up.

Wash the knobs in soap and water but do not soak.

Avoid getting water into the knob stem holes.

Cooktop Glass

To keep the cooktop looking its best, wipe up any

spills as they occur. This will keep them from burning on and becoming more difficult to remove.

As soon as the cooktop is cool, wash the glass surface with a cloth moistened with warm, soapy water; rinse with clean water, and dry with a soft cloth. You can use any liquid household detergent. Do not use abrasive materials such as metal pads, cleansing powder and soap filled pads—they may scratch the surface. Do not use harsh chemicals such as bleach or chemical oven cleaners.

For streaks or spotting, you may find it helpful to rinse glass with white vinegar or a fifty percent white vinegar/water solution.

Lift-Off Oven Door

The oven door is removable, but it is

heavy. You may need help removing and replacing the door. Do not lift the door by the handle. This can cause the glass to break or can cause damage to the door.

To remove the door, open it a few inches to the special stop position that will hold the door open. Grasp firmly on each side and lift the door straight up and off the hinges.

NOTE:

● Be careful not to place hands between the hinge and

the oven door frame as the hinge could snap back and pinch fingers.

● While working in the oven area, cover the hinges

with towels or empty paper towel rolls to prevent pinched fingers and chipping the porcelain enamel on the frame.

To replace the door, make sure the hinges are in the special stop position. Position the slots in the bottom of the door squarely over the hinges. Then lower the door slowly and evenly over both hinges at the same

‘ime.

If hinges snap back against the oven frame, pull

hem back out. TO CLEAN THE DOOR: Inside of the door:

● Because the area inside the gasket is cleaned during

the self clean cycle, you do not need to clean this by hand. Any soap left on the liner causes additional

stains when the oven is heated.

● The area outside the gasket can be cleaned with a

scouring pad.

● Do not rub or clean the door gasket—the fiberglass

material of the gasket has an extremely low resistance to abrasion. An intact and well-fitting oven door gasket is essential for energy-efficient oven operation and good baking results. If you

notice the gasket becoming worn, frayed or damaged in any way or if it has become displaced on the door,

you should have it replaced.

NOTE: The gasket is designed with a gap at the bottom to allow for proper air circulation.

Inside Gasket

Gasket

Outside Gasket

Outside of the door:

● Use soap and water to thoroughly clean the top,

sides and front of the oven door. DO NOT let water run down through openings in the top of the door. Rinse well. You may also use a glass cleaner to clean the glass on the outside of the door.

● Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces

and basting materials containing acids may cause discoloration and should be wiped up immediately. When surface is cool, clean and rinse.

● Do not use oven cleaners, cleansing powders or

harsh abrasives on the outside of the door.

Removable Storage Drawer

The storage drawer is a good place to store cookware

and bakeware. Do not store plastics and flammable material in the drawer.

Do not overload the storage drawer. If the drawer is too heavy, it may slip off the track when opened. To open the drawer, grasp the center of the handle and pull straight out.

The storage drawer may be removed for cleaning

under the range. To remove: Pull the drawer straight out and lift

wer

the guide stops.

To replace: Lift over the guide stops and slide the drawer into place.

To clean both the inside and the outside:

Wipe with soap and water. Rinse well.

Do not use cleansing powders or harsh abrasives which may scratch the surface.

CARE AND

(continued)

Oven Shelves

Clean the shelves with an abrasive cleanser or steel

wool. After cleaning, rinse the shelves with clean water

and dry with a clean cloth. NOTE: The oven shelves may also be cleaned in the

self-cleaning oven, however, the shelves will darken in color, lose their luster and become hard to slide if cleaned during the self-cleaning cycle. Wipe the shelf

supports with cooking oil to make the shelves slide

more easily.

Broiler Pan and Rack

After broiling, remove the broiler pan and rack from

the oven. Remove the rack from the pan. Carefully pour the grease from the pan into a proper container. Wash and rinse the broiler pan and rack in hot water with a soap-filled or plasti~ scouring pad.

If food has burned on, sprinkle the rack with detergent while hot and cover with wet paper towels or a dishcloth. Soaking the pan will remove burned-on foods.

The broiler pan may be cleaned with a commercial oven cleaner. Do not use an oven cleaner on the rack.

CLEANING

Do not store a soiled pan and rack anywhere in the range.

Both the broiler pan and rack can also be cleaned in the dishwasher.

Do not clean the broiler pan or rack in the self-

cleaning oven.

Oven Vent

The oven is vented through an opening at the rear of the cooktop. Never cover the opening with aluminum foil or any other material. This would prevent the oven vent from working properly.

Painted Surfaces

The drawer front is a painted surface. Clean it with soap and water or a vinegar and water solution.

Do not use commercial oven cleaners, cleansing powders, steel wool or harsh abrasives on any painted surface.

Sure Grip Handle

Light Bulb

The light bulb is located on the back oven wall. Before replacing the bulb, disconnect the electric power to the range at the main fuse or circuit breaker panel or unplug the range from the electric outlet. Let the bulb cool completely before removing it. Do not touch a hot bulb with a damp cloth. If you do, the bulb will break.

TO REMOVE:

● Remove the 3 screws in the light cover.

● Detach the light cover and remove the bulb.

TO REPLACE:

● Put in a new 40-watt appliance bulb.

NOTE: A 40-watt appliance bulb is smaller than a standard 40-watt household bulb.

● Install the light cover. Replace the 3 screws and

tighten, making sure the cover fits flush with the oven wall.

● Reconnect the electric power to the range.

Removable Oven Bottom

Gasket

“he

oven bottom can be removed to clean large spills, and to enable you to reach the oven burner. The oven bottom must be replaced before using the self-clean cycle.

~c:~

Unlock

To remove:

1. Slide the tab at the center front of the oven bottom

to the left.

2. Lift the oven bottom up and out. To replace:

1. Slip the oven bottom into the oven so the tabs in

the rear of the oven bottom fit into the slots in the oven back.

2. Lower the front of the oven bottom into place and

slide the front tab to the right to lock the oven bottom into place.

Lock

The oven bottom has a porcelain enamel finish.

To make cleaning easier, protect the oven bottom from excessive spillovers. This is particularly important when baking a fruit pie or other foods with high acid content. Hot fruit fillings or foods that are acidic (such as milk, tomatoes or sauerkraut, and sauces with vinegar or lemon juice) may cause pitting and damage to the porcelain enamel surface.

To protect the oven bottom surface, place a piece of aluminum foil slightly larger than the baking dish or a small cookie sheet on a lower shelf or under the baking dish to catch any spillovers. It should not completely cover the shelf as this would cause uneven heat in the oven. Aluminum foil should not be placed on the oven bottom.

If a spillover does occur on the oven bottom, allow the oven to cool first. You can clean the oven bottom with soap and water, a mild abrasive cleanser or filled abrasive pads. Rinse well to remove any soap before self-cleaning.

ANTI-TIP DEVICE

Before placing range in the counter, notice the location of the stability bracket which is already attached to the back of the range. This location should work for most installations. However, it may

be more convenient to hook the stability chain to

the unit when the stability bracket is attached to

the upper set of holes in the back of the range. See Fig. A. The upper level set of holes are intended for

use with a backsplash kit. If the backsplash is not

being used, make sure that there are no structural

supports for the countertop which will interfere with the stability bracket when located in the

upper set of holes.
