Important Safety Instructions
NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in
the oven bottom or cover an entire oven rack with materials
such as aluminum foil. Aluminum foil linings may trap heat,
causing a fire hazard.
DO NOT LEAVE CHILDREN ALONE —
children should not be left alone or unattended in the
area where appliance is in use. They should never be
allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance,
including the storage drawer, lower broiler drawer, warmer
drawer or lower double oven.
Do not store items of interest to children in
the cabinets above a range or on the backguard of the
range. Children climbing on the range to reach items
could be seriously injured.
DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE HEATING
UNITS, OR SURFACE COOKING ELEMENTS, AREAS
NEAR THESE SURFACE HEATING UNITS, OR INTERIOR
SURFACE OF THE OVEN. Both surface heating and oven
heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in
color. Areas near surface cooking units 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 cook top, surfaces facing the cook top,
the oven vent openings and surfaces near these openings,
oven door and oven door window.
Wear proper apparel — loose-fitting or
hanging garments should never be worn while using the
appliance. Do not let clothing or other flammable
materials contact hot surfaces.
DO NOT USE WATER OR FLOUR on grease
fires — smother the fire with a pan lid, or use baking
soda, a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
When heating fat or grease, watch it
closely. Fat or grease may catch fire if allowed to become
too hot.
Do not heat unopened food containers —
buildup of pressure may cause container to burst and
result in injury.
Important Safety Notice
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.

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 interior 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 all utensils 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.
Only use
Use dry potholders — moist or damp
potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from
steam. Do not let potholders touch hot heating elements.
Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth instead of a
potholder.
Save these instructions for future reference.

Important Safety Instructions
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR
COOKTOP
• •
• Know which knob controls each surface heating unit.
• •
Place a pan of food on the surface element unit before
turning it on, and turn the element off before removing
the pan.
• •
• Use proper pan size — This appliance is equipped with
• •
one or more surface units of different sizes. Select
utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the
surface unit heating element. The use of undersized
utensils will expose a portion of the heating element to
direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing.
Proper relationship of utensil to element will also improve
efficiency.
• •
• Utensil handles should be turned inward and not extend
• •
over adjacent surface elements —
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 units.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING
YOUR RANGE
Before manually cleaning any part of the
range, be sure all controls are turned OFF and the range is
COOL. The range may be hot and can cause burns.
• Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of
grease that could catch fire. Pay particular attention to
the area around each surface element. Do not allow
grease to accumulate.
• Kitchen cleaners and aerosols — Always follow the
manufacturer’s recommended directions for use. Be
aware that excess residue from cleaners and aerosols
may ignite causing damage and injury.
• Clean ventilating hoods frequently — Grease should not
be allowed to accumulate on the hood or filter. Follow
the manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning hoods.

Removing, replacing and arranging racks
Always use pot holders or oven mitts when
using the oven. When cooking, the oven interior, exterior,
oven racks and cooktop 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
oven rack
flat
oven rack
offset
oven rack
The flat oven rack or flat handle oven rack (on some
models) may be used for most cooking needs.
The offset oven rack (on 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.

Before Setting Surface Controls
About the surface elements
The element temperature rises gradually and evenly. As the
temperature rises, the element will glow red.
For efficient cooking, turn OFF the surface element just
before cooking is complete. This will allow residual heat to
complete the cooking process.
Surface elements may appear to have
cooled after they have been turned off. The surface
element may still be hot and burns may occur if the
surface element is touched before it has cooled sufficiently.
Do not place plastic items such as salt and
pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on top
of the range when it is in use.
ignite. Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could catch fire
if placed too close to the surface elements.
Do not use aluminum foil to line surface
unit drip bowls, or reflector pans. Only use aluminum foil as
recommended in this manual. Improper installation of these
liners may result in risk of electric shock, or fire.
These items could melt or
Using proper cookware
The size and type of
cookware used will
influence the surface
element power level
setting needed for best
cooking results. Be sure to
follow the
recommendations for
using proper cookware as
illustrated in both Figs. 1
& 2.
Fig. 1
Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom of
the cookware (See Fig. 1). Cookware should have flat
bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface
heating element (See Fig. 2).
Do not place aluminum foil or ANY material that could
melt on the surface elements.
Make sure reflector pans or drip bowls are in place —
Absence of these pans or bowls during cooking may
subject wiring or components underneath to damage.
