SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read all instructions

MPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

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

When You Get Your Range

When using electrical appliances, basic safety

precautions should be followed, including the

following:

• Have the installer show yon the location of the circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy reference.

• Be sure your appliance is properly installed

and grounded by a qualified technician in accordance with the provided Installation

Instructions.

• Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual.

.Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of

your range unless it is specifically recommended

in this book. All other servicing should be

referred to a qualified technician.

• Before performing any service, DISCONNECT THE RANGE POWER SUPPLY AT THE

HOUSEHOLD DISTRIBUTION PANEL BY REMOVING THE FUSE OR SWITCHING OFF THE CIRCUIT BREAKER.

WARNING-

All ranges can tip and injury could result. To prevent

accidental tipping of the range from abnormal usage, including

excess loading of the oven door,

attach it to the wall or floor by

nstalling the Anti-Tip device

supplied. Make sure the chain fits

securely into the slot in the bracket.

before using this appliance.

If you pull the range out from the wall for any

reason, make sure the device is properly engaged before you push the range back. Please refer to the

Anti-Tip device information in this book. Failure to

take this precaution could result in tipping of the range and injury.

.Do not leave children alone-children should

not be left alone or unattended in an area where an appliance is in use. They should never be allowed

to sit or stand on any part of the appliance

• Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on

the door, drawer or cooktop. They could

damage the range and even tip it over, causing severe personal injury.

• CAUTION: ITEMS OF INTEREST TO CHILDREN SHOULD NOT BE STORED

IN CABINETS ABOVE A RANGE OR ON THE BACKSPLASH OF A RANGEm

CHILDREN CLIMBING ON THE RANGE TO REACH ITEMS COULD BE

SERIOUSLY INJURED.

• Teach children not to play with the controls or any other part of the m:ge.

.Never leave the oven door open when you are

not watching the range.

• Always keep combustible wall coverings, curtains or drapes a safe distance from

your range.

• Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while using the appliance. Flammable material could be ignited if brought in contact with the hot

glass surface over the cooktop surface units and

may cause severe bums.

moist or damp pot holders on hot

.Use only dry pot holdersm

surfaces may result in bums from

steam. Do not let pot holders touch hot surface units. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in

place of a pot holder. Such cloths can catch fire

on a hot burner,

• For your safety, never use your appliance for warming or heating the room.

(contimled next page)

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

(continued)

• Always keep dish towels, dish cloths, potholders and other linens a safe distance

from your range.

• Always keep wooden and plastic utensils and canned food a safe distance away from your

range.

• DO NOT STORE OR USE COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS, GASOLINE OR OTHER

FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND LIQUIDS IN THE VICINITY OF THIS OR ANY OTHER

APPLIANCE.

• Do not let cooking grease or other flammable

materials accumulate in or near the range•

Never pick up a flaming pan.

•Do not use water on grease fires.

Smother flaming pan on surface unit

by covering pan completely with well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray or, if available, a multi-

purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

Flaming grease outside a pan can be put out by covering with baking soda, or if available, a

multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type

extinguisher.

Flame in oven can be smothered completely by closing the oven door and pressing the CLEAR/OFF pad or use a dry chemical or

foam-type extinguisher.

• Do not cook on a broken glass cooktop. Spillovers or cleaning solution may penetrate a

broken cooktop and create a risk of electrical

shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately

should your cooktop become broken.

• Use care when touching the cooktop. The glass

surface of the cooktop will retain heat after the controls have been turned off.

• Do not touch surface units. These surfaces may be hot enough to burn even though they are dark

in color. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact

surface units or areas nearby surface units; allow sufficient time for cooling, first.

• When cooking pork, follow the directions

exactly and always cook the meat to an internal temperature of at least 170°F. This assures that, in

the remote possibility that trichina may be present in the meat, it will be killed and the meat will be

safe to eat.

Oven

• Stand away from the range when opening the

oven door. Hot air or steam, which escapes, can cause burns to hands, face and/or eyes.

• Do not heat unopened food containers. Pressure could build up, and the container

could burst, causing an injury.

• Keeo the oven vent duct unobstructed.

.Keep the oven free from grease

buildup.

• Place the oven shelf in the desired position while the oven is cool. If the shelves must be

handled when hot, do not let pot holder contact heating elements in the oven.

• Pulling out the shelf to the shelf stop is a convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also a

precaution against burns from touching hot

surfaces of the door or oven walls.

• Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven

bottom or the cooktop, except as suggested in

manual. Improper installation of these liners may

result in electric shock or fire.

• When using cooking or roasting bags in oven,

follow the manufacturer's directions.

• Do not use your oven to dry newspapers. If overheated, they can catch fire.

• Be sure the vent duct is not covered and is in

place. Its absence during cooking could damage

range parts and wiring.

Potentially hot surfaces include the cooktop and

areas facing the cooktop.

IMPORTANT SAFETY

(continued)

INSTRUCTIONS

• To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of

flammable materials and spillage, the handle of a container should be turned toward the center of

the cooktop without extending over nearby surface units.

• Always turn the surface unit controls to OFF position before removing cookware.

• Never leave the surface units unattended at high heat settings. Boflovers cause smoking and

greasy spillovers that may catch fire

• Keep an eye on foods being fried at high or

medium high heat settings.

• Foods for frying should be as dry as possible. Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh foods

can cause hot fat to bubble up and over sides

of pan,

• Use little fat for effective shallow or deep-fat frying. Filling the pan too full of fat can cause

spillovers when food is added

• If a combination of oils or fats will be used in

frying, stir together before heating, or as fats melt slowly.

• Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.

• Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible to prevent overheating fat beyond the smoking

point

• Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially a

deep fat fryer Wait until the fat is cool

Cleaning

• To minimize the possibility of burns, always be certain that the controls for all surface units

are at OFF position and the entire glass surface is cool before attempting to clean the cooktop.

• Clean only parts listed in this book.

,Keep the cooktop clean and free of

accumulations of grease or spillovers which may ignite.

• When not in use, make sure the surface unit controls are set to OFF position to prevent the

cooktop from being activated accidentally

• Never clean cooktop surface when it is hot.

Some cleaners produce noxious fumes and wet cloths could cause steam burns if used on a hot surface

• Do not allow water, other liquids or grease

to remain on the cooktop or control panel.

• Clean all cooking surfaces with caution.

SAVE THESE

INSTRUCTIONS

• When flaming foods are under the hood, turn

the fan off. The fan, if operating, may spread the flame.

• Hot foods and steam can cause burns. Be

careful when opening any containers of hot food, including popcorn bags, cooking pouches and

boxes To prevent possible injury, direct steam

away from hands and face

• NEVER USE WATER ON A GREASE FIRE.

INSTALLING AND LEVELING

Installing

Your range, like 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, use care, and it is recommended that these simple and inexpensive instructions be followed.

The range should be installed on a 1/4-inch thick sheet of plywood

(or similar material) as follows: When the floor covering ends at the

front of the range, the area 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. See the complete

installation instruction booklet included with the range for full details.

Leveling

Use a 1W' open end or adjustable wrench to equally back out the 4 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 1 of the oven shelves to check for levelness. If using a spirit level, take 2 readings, with the level placed

diagonally first in 1 direction and then the other. Adjust the 4 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.
