damage the range and even tip it over, causing severe
personal injury.
• Do not store flammable materials in an oven or near
a cooktop.
• CAUTION: ITEIVIS OF INTEREST TO CHILDREN
SHOULD NOT BE STORED IN CABINETS ABOVE
THE RANGE OR ON THE BACKSPLASH OF A
RANGE—CHILDREN CLIMBING ON THE RANGE
TO REACH ITEMS COULD BE SERIOUSLY INJURED.
• Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while
using the appliance. Be careful when reaching for
items stored over the range. Flammable material
could be ignited if brought In contact with hot surface
units or heating elements and may cause severe burns.
BASIC SAFETY
• Do not touch the surface units, the heating
elements, or the interior surface of the oven.
These surfaces may be hot enough to burn even
thought they are dark in color. During and after use,
do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable
materials contact, the surface units, areas nearby
the surface units or any Interior area of the oven;
allow sufficient time for cooling first. Potentially hot
surfaces include the cooktop, areas facing the cooktop,
oven vent opening, surfaces near the opening, crevices
around the oven door and metal trim parts above
the door.
REMEMBER: The inside surface of the oven may be
hot when the door is opened.
PROTECTING AGAINST FOODBORNE ILLNESS
• Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at least
an INTERNAL temperature of 160T and poultry to at
least an INTERNAL temperature of 180°F. Cooking
to these temperatures usually protects against
foodborne Illness.
PRECAUTIONS
• Use only dry pot holders—moist or damp pot holders
on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not
let pot holders hot touch surface units or heating
elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.
• For your safety, never use your appliance for
warming or heating the room.
• Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline
or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity
of this or any other appliance.
• Keep the hood and grease filters clean to maintain
good venting and to avoid grease fires.
• Do not let cooking grease or other flammable
materials accumulate in or near the range.
• Do not use water on grease fires. Never 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-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Use a
multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire
extinguisher.
Flaming grease outside the pan can be put out
by covering it with baking soda or, if available, by
using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire
extinguisher,
Flame in the oven can be smothered completely by
closing the oven door or by using a multi-purpose dry
chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.
OVEN SAFETY

could build up and the container could burst,
causing an injury.
• Keep the oven vent unobstructed. The vent is under
the right rear surface unit.
• Keep the oven free from grease 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 holders or oven mitts contact the
heating elements.
• Pulling out the shelf to the stop-lock is a
convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also a
precaution against burns from touching hot surfaces
of the door or oven walls.
• When using cooking or roasting bags in the oven,
follow the manufacturer’s directions.
• Do not use the oven to dry newspapers.
If overheated, they can catch on fire.

Items stored in an oven can ignite.
• Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils or
food in the oven when not in use.
IMPORtANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (continued)
SURFACE UNITS
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 the ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of
cookware to surface unit size will also Improve efficiency.
• Never leave the surface units unattended at
high heat settings. Boiiovers cause smoking
and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.
• 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,
• Only certain types of glass, giass4;eramic,
earthenware or other glazed containers are suitable
for cooktop service; others may break because of the
sudden change in temperature.
• 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
range without extending over nearby surface units.
• Always turn the surface units off before removing
cookware.
' When preparing flaming foods under the vent hood,
turn the fan on.
' Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible to
prevent overheating fat beyond the smoking point.
' 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 the sides of the pan.
■ Clean the cooktop with caution. If a wet sponge is
used to wipe spills on a hot cooktop, be careful to avoid
steam burns,
• To avoid the possibility of a burn or electric shock,
always be certain that the controls for all surface units
are at the OFF position and all coils are cool before
attempting to lift or remove a unit
* Do not immerse or soak the removable surface
units. Do not put them in a dishwasher.
> 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 wiring.
' Do not use aluminum foil to line the drip pans or
anywhere in the oven except as described in this
manual. Misuse could result in a shock, fire hazard or
damage to the range

Selecting types of cookware
Surface Cookware Tips
Use medium- or heavy-weight
cookware. Aluminum cookware
conducts heat faster than other
metals. Cast-iron and coated castiron 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 metals. y /„cr?
For best cooking results, pans
should be flat on the bottom. Match the size of the
saucepan to the size of the surface unit The pan
should not extend over the edge of the surface unit
more than 1 inch.
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 ring
in place, can be dangerous.
Placing the ring over the surface
unit will cause a build-up of heat
that will damage the porcelain
cooktop, Do not try to use such
woks without the ring. You could be
seriously burned if the wok tipped over.
Use only ftat-bottomsd
woks.

The oven has 6 sheH positions.
Preheating and Pan Placement
Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it. To preheat,
set the oven at the correct temperature, Preheating is
necessary for good results when baking cakes, cookies,
pastry and breads .
For ovens without a preheat indicator light or tone,
preheat 10 minutes.
Baking results will be better if baking pans are centered
in the oven as much as possible. Pans should not touch
each other or the walls of the oven, If you need to use
two shelves, stagger the pans so one is not directly
above the other, and leave approximately 1 Vf from the
front of the pan to the front of the shelf .
Aluminum Foii
Never cover the oven bottom with aluminum foil.
You can use aluminum foil to line
the broiler pan and broiler grid,.
However, you must mold the foil
tightly to the grid and cut slits in it
Just like the grid.
Aluminum foil may also be used to
catch a spillover. To do so, place a small sheet of foil on a
lower shelf several inches below the food.
Never entirely cover a shelf with aluminum foil. This will
disturb the heat circulation and result in poor baking.
How to Set the Oven for Broiiing
1. Place the food on the broiler grid in the broiler pan.
2. Follow suggested shelf positions in the Broiling Guide.
3. Turn the Oven Temperature
knob to BROIL.
Leave the door open
to the broil stop position.
The door stays open
by itself, yet the proper
temperature is
maintained in
the oven

USING THE OVEN
Adjust the Oven Thermostat—Easy to do yourself!
You may find that your new oven cooks differently than
the one it replaced. Use your new oven for a few weeks
to become more familiar with it. If you still think your
new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the
thermostat yourself.
Do not use thermometers, such as those found in
grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of your
oven. These thermometers may vary by 20-40 degrees,
NOTE: This adjustment will not affect broiling temperatures.
To Adjust the Thermostat
1. Pull the Oven Temp knob off the shaft, look at the
back of the knob and note the current setting before
making any adjustments.
2. Loosen both screws on the back of the knob.
3. To increase the oven temperature, move the pointer
toward the words “MAKE HOTTER."
To decrease the oven temperature, turn the pointer
toward the words “MAKE COOLER.”
Each notch changes the temperature by 10 degrees
Fahrenheit.
4. Tighten the screws.
5. Replace the knob, matching the fiat area of the knob
to the shaft .
The type of margarine will affect baking performance!
Most recipes for baking have been developed using
high-fat products such as butter or margarine (80%
fat), if you decrease the fat, the recipe may not give
the same results as with a higher-fat product.
Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies, pastries, cookies
or candies are made with low-fat spreads,. The lower the
fat content of a spread product, the more noticeable
these differences become.
Federal standards require products labeled "margarine"
to contain at least 80% fat by weight. Low-fat spreads,
on the other hand, contain less fat and more water.
The high moisture content of these spreads affects the
texture and flavor of baked goods. For best results with
your old favorite recipes, use margarine, butter or stick
spreads containing at least 70% vegetable oil.

If your range Is removed for cleaning,
servicing or any reason, be sure the anti-tip
device is re-engaged properly when the
range is replaced. Failure to take this
precaution could result in tipping of the
range and cause injury.
Lift-Off Oven Door
The oven door is removable
for cleaning,
Do not lift the door by the
handle. Make sure the oven
is completely cool.
Oven Interior
With proper care, the porcelain enamel finish on the
inside of the oven—top, bottom, sides, back and inside
of the door—will stay new-looking for years.
Let the range cool before cleaning. We recommend that
you wear rubber gloves when cleaning the range.
Soap and water will normally do the job. Heavy spattering
or spillovers may require cleaning with a mild abrasive
cleaner.. Soap-filled scouring pads may also be used.
Do not allow food spills with a high sugar or acid content
(such as miik, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie
fiiiing) to remain on the surface. They may cause a dull
spot even after cleaning.
Household ammonia may make the cleaning job easier.
Place 1/2 cup in a shallow glass or pottery container in
a cold oven overnight. The ammonia fumes will help
loosen the burned-on grease and food.
If necessary, you may use an oven cleaner. Follow the
package directions,.
Do not spray oven cleaner on the electrical controls
and switches because it could cause a short circuit
and result in sparking or fire ,
Do not allow a film from the cleaner to build up on the
temperature sensor—it could cause the oven to heat
improperly, (The sensor is located at the top of the oven)
Carefully wipe the sensor clean after each oven cleaning,
being careful not to move the sensor as a change in its
position could affect how the oven bakes.
Do not spray any oven cleaner on the outside of the
oven door, handles or any exterior surface of the oven,
cabinets or painted surfaces . Oven cleaner can damage
these surfaces.
To remove the door, open it to
the special stop position. Grasp

or spillovers may require cleaning with a mild abrasive
cleaner. Soap-filled scouring pads may also be used,.
Do not allow food spills with a high sugar or acid content
(such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie
filling) to remain on the surface They may cause a dull
spot even after cleaning.
To clean the outside of the door:
Use soap and water to thoroughly clean the top, sides
and front of the oven door. Rinse well. You may also use
a glass cleaner to clean the glass on the outside of the
door. Do not let water drip into the vent openings,
Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces
and basting materials containing adds may cause
discoloration and should be wiped up immediately.
When surface is cool, clean and rinse.
Do not use oven cleaners, cleaning powders or harsh
abrasives on the outside of the door.

CARE AND CLEANING OF THE RANGE
Porcelain Enamel Cooktop
The porcelain enamel finish is sturdy but breakable if
misused This finish is acid-resistant. However, any acidic
foods spilled (such as fruit juices, tomato or vinegar)
should not be permitted to remain on the finish.
If acids spill on the cooktop while it is hot, use a dry
paper towel or cloth to wipe it up right away, When
the surface has cooled, wash with soap and water
Rinse well.
For other spills such as fat spatterings, wash with soap
and water or cleansing powders after the surface has
cooled. Rinse well. Polish with a dry cloth.
Lift-Up Cooktop
Some models have a cooktop
that can be lifted up for easier
cleaning. The entire cooktop
may be lifted up and supported
in the up position.
The surface units do not need to
be removed; however, you may
remove one to make raising the
cooktop easier. There are two side supports that lock
into position when the cooktop is lifted up.
After cleaning under the cooktop with hot, mild soapy
water and a clean doth, lower the cooktop. Be careful
not to pinch your fingers.
To lower the cooktop, push the rods back and gently
lower the cooktop until It rests in place.
Be sure all surface anils
are turned off before
raising the cooktop
Be sure all the controls are turned to OFF and the
surface units are cool before attempting to remove them.
Surface Units
To clean the surface units, turn
the control to the highest setting
for a minute. The coils will burn off
any soil.
To remove a surface unit:
To remove the drip pans for
cleaning, the surface units must be removed first.
Lift the surface unit about 1 inch above the drip pan and
puli it out.
Do not lift the surface unit more than 1 inch. If you do, it
may not lie fiat on the drip pan when you plug it back in.
Repeated lifting of the surface unit more than 1 inch above
the drip pan can permanently damage the receptacle.
To replace a surface unit:
Replace the drip pan into the recess in the cooktop. Make
sure the opening in the pan lines up with the receptacle.
Insert the terminals of the surface unit through the
opening in the drip pan and into the receptacie..
Guide the surface unit into place so it rests evenly.
