ANTI-TIP DEVICE
WARNING
Tip-Over Hazard
• A child or adult can tip the range and be killed.
• Install the anti-tip bracket to the wall or floor.
• Engage the range to the anti-tip bracket by sliding the range back such that the foot is engaged.
•Re-engage the anti-tip bracket if the range is moved.
•Failure to do so can result in death or serious burns to children or adults.
To reduce 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.
For Free-Standing and Slide-In Ranges
To check if the bracket is installed and engaged properly, look underneath the
range to see that the rear leveling leg is engaged in the bracket. On some models, the storage drawer or kick panel can be removed for easy inspection. If visual inspection is not possible, slide the range forward, confirm the anti-tip bracket is securely attached to the floor or wall, and slide the range back so the rear leveling leg is under the anti-tip 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.
Never completely remove the leveling legs or the range will not be secured to the anti-tip device properly.

Sabbath Usage
Certain models comply with the Star-K Jewish Sabbath requirements for use during the Sabbath and holidays. For the latest list of models, see www.star-k.org.
Start a Baking
To start a baking, simply turn the thermostat knob to the desired temperature. Because a thermostat model will respond with a clicking sound when the thermostat knob is used to turn on the oven, this operation should take place before the Sabbath or Holidays begin.
Adjusting the Temperature
To adjust the oven temperature while in compliance with Sabbath requirements, the user must observe the orange glow through the oven bottom slots which are located at the left and right sides of the oven bottom. During normal operation, the orange glow cycles on and off every few minutes. The proper operating procedure to make an oven temperature adjustment while in compliance with Sabbath requirements is as follows:
Ŷ 7R DGMXVW WKH RYHQ WHPSHUDWXUH WR D KLJKHU YDOXH WKH user must first confirm a constant orange glow through the oven bottom slots. Only then, can the user turn the knob to a higher temperature than was previously set.
Ŷ 7R DGMXVW WKH RYHQ WHPSHUDWXUH WR D ORZHU YDOXH WKH XVHU must first confirm that there is no orange glow through the oven bottom slots. Only then, can the user turn the knob to a lower temperature than was previously set.
Stop Baking
To stop a baking, simply turn the thermostat knob to the off position. Because a thermostat model will respond with a clicking sound when the thermostat knob is used to turn off the oven, this operation should take place after the Sabbath or Holidays end.
Oven Light Operation
The oven light can be set to either on or off prior to the start of the Sabbath or the holiday. Opening and closing of the door will not change the state of the oven light.
Sabbath Mode Power Outage Note
If a power outage occurs during a Sabbath bake, the unit will return to Sabbath bake mode when power is restored and the oven will return to the same temperature as before the outage, without any intervention from the user.

USING THE RANGE: Oven Racks
Oven Racks
Recommended rack positions for various types of foods are provided in the Cooking Guide. Adjusting rack position is one way to impact cooking results. For example, if you would prefer darker tops on cakes, muffins, or cookies, try moving food one rack position higher. If you find foods are too brown on top try moving them down next time.
When baking with multiple pans and on multiple racks,

To avoid possible burns, place the racks in the desired position before you turn the oven on.
Removing and Replacing Racks
When placing and removing cookware, pull the rack out

To remove a rack, pull it toward you until it reaches the stop position, tilt up the front of the rack and pull it out.
To replace a rack, place the curved end of the rack onto the rack supports. Tilt up the front of the rack and push the rack in until it stops. Then lay the rack flat and push it in until it is all the way into the oven.
Racks may become difficult to slide, especially after a self-clean cycle. To improve sliding conditions, use a soft cloth or paper towel to rub vegetable oil on the left and

Cookware Guidelines
The material, finish, and size of cookware affect baking performance.
Dark, coated and dull pans absorb heat more readily
WKDQ OLJKW VKLQ\ SDQV 3DQV WKDW DEVRUE KHDW PRUH readily can result in a browner, crisper, and thicker crust. If using dark and coated cookware check food earlier than minimum cook time. If undesirable results are obtained with this type of cookware consider reducing
RYHQ WHPSHUDWXUH E\ ) QH[W WLPH
Shiny pans can produce more evenly cooked baked goods such as cakes and cookies.
Cooking Modes
Glass and ceramic pans heat slowly but retain heat well. These types of pans work well for dishes such as pies and custards.
Air insulated pans heat slowly and can reduce bottom browning.
Keep cookware clean to promote even heating.
Stoneware heats slowly and retains heat well. It is recommended to preheat this type of cookware if possible. Additional cook time may be required.
Your new oven has a variety of cooking modes to help you get the best results. These modes are described below. Refer to the Cooking Guide section for rack position and other recommendations for specific modes and foods.
Bake
The bake mode is for baking and roasting. When preparing baked goods such as cakes, cookies and pastries, always preheat the oven first. Turn knob to correct temperature setting.
Broiling Modes
Broiling is done in either your oven cavity or broiling compartment depending on the features of your model.
