A WARNING!

For your safe_ the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or explosion,

electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.

A WARNINGANTI-TIPDEVICE

All rangescan tip andinjury could result.

Toprevent accidental tipping of the range, attach it to the wafl by installing the Anti--tip device supplied.

If the Anti--tip device supplied with the range does not fit this application, use the universal Anti--tip

device WB2X7909.

Tocheck if the device is installed and engaged properly, carefully tip the range forward. The Anti--tip device should engage and pravent

the range from tipping over.

IMPORTANTSAFETYNOtiCE

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.

If you pull file rang_ out from file wall for any reason, make sure the device is properly

eng¢_ged when you push the range back against the wall• If it is not, there is a possible risk of the

range tipping over and causing inju U if yon or a child stand, sit or lean on an open door

Please refer to the Anti-Tip device information in this manual. Failure to take this precaution

could result in tipping of the range and i,lju U.

The fiberglass insulation in self-clean ovens gives off a very smafl 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.

SAFETYPRECAUtiONS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety pracautions should be followed, including the following:

Use this appliance only %r its intended puq)ose as desclJbed in tins )_me_ s Manual.

burns from steam. Do not let pot holders

touch hot surfi_ce units or heating elements.

Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.

For your safety, nexer use your appliance for wanning or heating the room.

Do not let cooking grease or oflmr flammable mamfials accumulam in or near the range.

Do not use wamr on grease fires. Nexer pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off.

Smother a flaming pan on a surface unit by covering the pan completely with a well-

fitfing lid, cookie sheet or fiat u W. Use a nmlfi-purpose di T chemical or foam-type

rite extinguisher Flaming grease outside a pan can be put

out by coxering it with baking soda o_, if available, 1)y using a multi-purpose dly chemical or foam-type fire exfinguishen

Flame in the oxen or wanning drawer can be smothered complemly by closing the

Do not touch fl_e snrthce units, the heating elements or rite interior surface of the oven.

These surfaces may be hot enougtl to bum exen thougil they are dark in color During

and after use, do not touch, or let cloflling or other flammable materials contact, tim

surfi_ce units, areas nearby the surface units or any inmrior a_ea of the oxen; allow

sufficient time for cooling first. Potenually hot surfaces include the cooktop,

areas fhcing the cooktop, oxen xent opening, surfaces near the opening, crevices around rim oxen door and metal trim parts aboxe

SELF-CLEANINGOVEN

Do not clean the door gasket. Tile door

gasket is essential for a good seal. Care

should be taken ,lot to rub, damag> or

mow the gasket.

Clean only parts listed in this Owner's

Manual.

Do ,lot use oven cleaners on self-clean

models. No commercial oxen cleaner or oxen liner protective coating of any kind

should be used in or around any part of the oxen. Residue from oxen cleaners will

damage the inside of tile oxen when the

self-clean cycle is used.

Pulling out the shelf to tile stoi>lock is a

comenience in lifting heaxy' foods. It is also

a precaution against bums flom touching hot surt_tces of the door or oxen walls.

When using cooking or roasting bags in tile

oxen, follow the manufacturer's directions.

Do ,lot use the oxen to d U newspapers.

If overheamd, they can catch on fire.

Do *lot use the oxen for a storag_ area.

SURFACEUNITS--ALLMODELS

Do not touchthe heating element or the interior

surface ofthe warming drawer._lese surfaces

may be hot enougtl to bnHl.

REMEMBER:Tile inside surPace of d_e

wam/ing drawer may be hot when tile

drawer is opened.

Use care when opening die drawel: Open tile drawer a crack and let hot air or steam

escape before removing or replacing food. Hot air or smam which escapes can cause

burns to hands, fi_ce and/or eyes. Do not use aluminun_ fbil to line the diawe_:

Foil is an excellent heat insulator and will nap heat beneath it. This will upset tile

perfornmnce of tile drawer and it could damag> tile inmrior finish.

Use proper pan size-select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit

heating element. The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of the surface unit to direct

contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of cookware to surface unit will also

improve efficiency.

Never leax> tile surl_ace units unatmnded at

higil heat setfing:s. Boilo_ers cause smoking and greasy spillox>rs that may catch on rile.

Only certain types of glass, gtassAeramic,

earthenware or other glazed containers are

suitable for cookmp service; oflmrs m W

break because of the sudden chang_ in

ten_perature.

To minimize dm possibili U of bums, ignition of flmnmable mamfials and spillage,

tile handle of a container should be turned toward tim center of the rang> without

exmnding ox_r nearby surface units.

Always tni'll tile surl_ace units off before

renloving cookware. When preparing flaming %ods under tile

\_nt hood, turn tile tim on.

Kee I) an eye on foods being flied at high or medium high heat setfing:s.

Foods for fl?ing should be as dU as possible. Frost on fiozen foods or moisune on flesh

foods can cause hot l_atto bubble up and oxer tile sides of tile pan.

Use little fiat for effective shallow or deep fi_t flying. Filling tile pan too flfll of fiat can

cause spillovers when food is added. If a combinaoon of oils or fats will be used in

flTing, stir together before heanng, or as l_ats melt slowly.

_: Always heat l_atslowly, and watch as it heats.

Use a deep l_at fllennometer whenever possible to prexent oxerheafing fi_t beyond

moisture content of these spreads afl'ects tile texture and flavor of baked goods. For

best results with w)ur old fiworite redpes, rise mmgarine, butter or stick spreads

containing at least 70% vegetable oil.

Baking results will be better if baking pans

are centered in tile oven as ill[lch _lS

possible. Pans should not touch each other or the walls ot the oven. If you need to use

two shelves, stagger the pans so one is not direcflv above the othe_; and leave

Aluminum Foil

Never cover the oven bottom with aluminum foil.

You can use aluminum toil to line tile

broiler pan and broiler grid. However;

you must mold the toil tightly to the

grid and cut slits in it just like the grid.

Muminum fi)il may also be used m catch a spillove_: To do so, place a small sheet of

toil on a lower shelf several inches below tile ti)ocl.

Never entirely cover a shelf with aluminum loll. This will disturb the heat circulation

and result in poor baking.
