ANti-TIPDEVICE
Toreduce the risk of tipping the range, the range must be
secured by a properly installed anti-tip bracket. See installation
instructions shipped with the bracket for complete details before attempting to install.
Tocheck if the bracket is installed and engaged properly,
All ranges can tip.
BURNS or other SERIOUS INJURIES can result.
INSTALL and CHECK the
ANTI-TIP bracket following the instructions supplied
with the bracket.
remove the storage drawer or kick panel and look underneath the range to see that the leveling leg is engaged in the bracket. If the range is pulled from the wall for any reason, always repeat this procedure to verify the range is properly secured by the anti-tip bracket.
If you did not receive an anfi-dp bracket with your purchase, call 1.800.626.8774 to receive one at no

Be sure the drip pans and the vent duct are not
covered and are in place. Their absence during
cooking could damage range parts and xdring.
Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, earthem_are or other glazed containers are suitable for cooktop service; others may break because of the sudden change in temperature.

SURFACECOOKINGUNITS(cont.)
iiiiiiiiiiiii!Do not immerse or soak the removable
surf.ace units. Do not put them in a dishwasher
When preparing flaming foods under
the hood, turn the fan on. To avoid the possibility of a burn or
electric shock, always be certain that the controls fk)r 'all surface units are at the
OFFposition and all coils are cool befk)re
attempting to lift or remove a unit. Clean the cooktop with caution. If a wet
sponge is used to wipe spills on a hot cookmp, be careful m avoid steam burns.
Keep an eye on foods being flied at high or medium high heat settings.
Foods for flying should be as dU as possible. Frost on flozen foods or moisture
on flesh fk)ods can cause hot f.at to bubble up and over the sides of the pan.
Use little fat f_r elfective shallow or deep fat flying. Filling the pan too full of f.at can cause spillovers when fk)od is added.
If a combination of oils or f.ats will be used in flTing, stir together before heating, or as
fats melt slowly.
Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.
Use a deep f.at thermometer whenever possible to prevent overheating f.at beyond the smoking point.
WARNING!
OVEN
Stand away from the range when opening the oven door. Hot air or steam which escapes can cause bums to hands, face and/or eyes.
Do not heat unopened food containers. Pressure could build up and the container
could burst, causing an in,ju U.
Keep the oven vent unobstructed.
Keep the oven flee flom _ease buildup.
Place the oven shelf in the desired position while the oven is cool. If shelves must be
handled when hot, do not let pot holder contact the heating elements.
Pulling out the shelf m the stop-lock is a
convenience in lifting hea\ T foods. It is 'also a precaution against burns flom touching
hot surf.aces of the door or oven walls.
When using cooking or roasting bags in the oven, follow the manuf.acturer's
directions.
Do not use the oven to dry newspapers.
ff overheated, they can catch on fire.
Do not use the oven fi)r a storage area.
Items stored in an oven can ignim.
Do not leave paper products, cooking

Surface Cookware Tips
¸1¸"¸¸¸
Not over I inch.
Use only flat-bottomed woks.
Use medium- or heavy-weight cookware. Aluminum cookware conducts heat faster
than other metals. Gast-iron and coated cast-iron cookware are slow to absorb
heat, but generally cook evenly at low to medium heat settings. Steel pans may
cook unevenly if not combined with other met_fls.
Wok Cooking
Werecommendthat youuseonly a flat-bottomed
wok. Theyareavailableat yourlocalretail store.
Do not use woks dlat have support rings. Placing tlle ring over the surface unit will
cause a buildup of heat that will damage tile porcelain cookmp.
Home Canning Tips
Be sure tile canner is centered over the surface unit.
For best cooking results, pans should be fiat on the bottom. Match the size of the
saucepan m the size of the surface unit. The pan should not exmnd over the edge of the surface unit more than 1".
Do not use round bottom woks. You could be seriously burned if tile wok
tipped ove_.
Make sure tile canner is fiat on tile bottom.
Use recipes and procedures flom
reputable sources. These are available
flom manufacturers such as Ball ®and KerI _ and the Deparunent of Agriculture
Exmnsion Se_Mce.
To prevent burns flom steam or heat, use
caution when canning.

Federal standards require products labeled "margarine" m contain at least 80% fat by weight. Low-fat spreads, on the other hand, contain less fat and more WamL The high moisture conmnt of these spreads affects the
