NEVER use thls appliance as a space
heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in
CARBON MONOXIDE poisoning.
NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in
the oven bottom or cover an entire oven rack with materials
such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the
oven and may cause CARBON MONOXIDE poisoning.
Aluminum loll linings may trap heat, causing a fire hazard.
Stepping, leaning or sitting on the door or
drawers of a range can result in serious injuries and also
cause damage to the appliance. DO NOT allow children
to climb or play around the range. The weight of a child
on an open oven door may cause the range to tip,

AREAS NEAR THESE BURNERS, OVEN BURNERS OR
INTERIOR SURFACES OF THE OVEN. Both surface and
oven burners may be hot even though flames are not
visible. Areas near surface burners may become hot
enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not
touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials
touch these areas until they have had sufficient time to
cool. Among these areas are the cool( top, surfaces

Irnportant Safety Instructions
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR
COOKTOP
Use Proper Flame Slze m Adjust flame
size so it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil.
The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the
burner flame to direct contact and may result in ignition
of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to flame will also
improve efficiency.
• Know which knob controls each surface burner. Place a
pan of food on the burner before turning it on, and turn
the burner off before removing the pan.
• Always turn knob to the full LITE position when igniting
fop burners. Visually check that burner has lit. Then
adjust the flame so it does not extend beyond the edge
of the utensil.
• Utensil handles should be turned inward and not
extend over adjacent surface burners m To reduce the
risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and
spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, the
handle of the utensil should be positioned so that it is
turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent
surface burners.
• Never leave surface burners unattended at high heat
settings = Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry
may melt.
• Glazed cooking utensils _ Only certain types of glass,
glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed
utensils are suitable for cool< top service without
breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.
Check the manufacturer's recommendations for cook
top use.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR
OVEN
Protective Liners _ DO NOT use
aluminum toll to llne the oven bottom. Only use
aluminum foil as recommended in this manual. Improper
installation of these liners may result in risk of electric
shock, or fire.
Use care when opening oven door, warmer drawer or
lower oven door _ Stand to the side of the range when
opening the door of a hot oven. Let hot air or steam
escape before you remove or replace food in the oven.
Keep oven vent ducts unobstructed. The oven vent is
located below the backguard. Touching the surfaces in
this area when the oven is operating may cause severe
burns. Also, do not place plastic or heat-sensitive items
on or near the oven vent. These items could melt or
ignite.
• Placement of Oven Racks. Always place oven racks in
desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be
moved while oven is hot use extreme caution. Use
potholders and grasp the rack with both hands to
reposition. Do not let potholders contact the hot heating
elements in the oven. Remove aJJ utensiJs from the rack
before moving.
• Do not use the broiler pan without its insert. The broiler
pan and its insert allow dripping fat to drain and be
kept away from the high heat of the broiler.
* Do not cover the broiler insert wlfh aluminum foil.
Exposed fat and grease could ignite.
• When flaming foods under a ventilating hood, turn the
fan on.

Grounding instructions
See the INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS packaged with
this range for complete installation and grounding
instructions.
Grounding type
wall receptacle
Power supply cord
with 3-prong
grounding plug.
Conversion to L.P.Gas
Personal injury or death from electrlcal
shock may occur if the range is not installed by a
qualified installer or electrician.
Avoid fire hazard or electrical shock. DO
NOT use an adapter plug, an extension cord, or remove
grounding prong from electrlcal power cord. Failure to
folgow this warning can cause serious injury, fire or
death.
This appliance is equipped with a 3-prong grounding plug
for your protection against shock hazard and should be
plugged directly into a properly grounded receptacle.
DO NOT cut or remove the grounding prong from this
plug.
For personal safety, the range must be properly grounded.
For maximum safety, the power cord must be plugged into
an electrical outlet that is correctly polarized and properly
grounded.
If a 2-prong wall receptacle is the only available outlet, it
is the personal responsibility of the consumer to have it
replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall
receptacle installed by a qualified electrician.
Any additions, changes or conversions
required in order for this appliance to satisfactorily meet
the application needs must be made by a qualified
technician.
This appliance allows for conversion to Liquefied
Petroleum (L.P.) Gas.
If L.P. conversion is needed, contact your local L.P. Gas
provider for assistance. The L.P. conversion kit is provided
with this appliance and is located on the lower REAR
(back side) panel of the range. Before installing the kit be
sure to follow the L.P. Installation Instructions carefully.
Before Setting Oven Controls
Oven vent location
The oven vent is located of center rear of cooktop below
the control panel (See Fig. 1). When the oven is on, warm
air passes through this vent. This venting is necessary for
proper air circulation in the oven and good baking results.
Do not block the oven vent.
oven vent

Removing, replacing and arranging racks
Always use oven miffs when using the
oven. When cooking using the oven, the oven interior,
oven racks and cookfop will become very hot which can
cause burns.
Arranging - always arrange
the oven racks when the oven
is cool (prior to operating the
oven).
To remove - pull the rack
forward until it stops. Lift up
front of rack and slide out.
Types of oven racks
_ flat handle
rack
oven rack _ I
offset
oven rack
The fiat oven rack or fiat handle oven rack (some models)
may be used for most cooking needs.
The offset oven rack (some models) will place the base of
the rack about 1/2 of a rack position lower than a flat
oven rack. This feature provides several additional
possible oven rack positions.
Air circulation in the oven
For best baking results allow 2-4" (5-10 cm) around the
cookware for proper air circulation and be sure pans and
cookware do not touch each other, the oven door, sides or
back of the oven cavity. Hot air must be able to circulate
around the pans and cookware in the oven for even heat
to reach around the food.
To replace - fit the rack onto
the guides on the oven walls.
Tilt the front of the rack
upward and slide the rack
back into place.
Recommended oven rack positions by food type:
(Refer to Fig. 2 for oven rack positions)
