important Safety instructions
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.
DO NOTTOUCH SURFACE UNITS, AREAS NEAR
THESE UNITS, OVEN HEATING ELEMENTS OR
INTERIOR SURFACES OF THE OVEN. Both surface
and oven heating elements may be hot even though they
are dark incolor. Areas near surface 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 cooktop, surfaces facing the
cooktop, the oven vent openings and surfaces near
these openings, oven door and 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.
Electronic controllers can be damaged
by cold temperatures. When you use your appliance
for the first time, or if it has not been used for a long
period of time, make sure that it has been exposed to a
temperature above 0°C/32°F for at least 3 hours before
connecting it to the power supply.
iMPORTANT iNSTRUCTiONS FOR USING
YOUR COOKTOP
= Know which knob controls each surface heating unit.
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. The use of undersized utensils will expose
a portion of the surface heating to direct contact and
may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of
utensil to the surface unit will also improve efficiency.
Utensil handles should be turned inward and not
extend over adjacent surface units--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 units.
When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Fat or
grease may catch fire ifallowed to become too hot.
Use only 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.
Do not heat unopened food containers--Build-up of
pressure may cause container to burst and result in
injury.
• Remove the oven doors from any unused range if it
is to be stored or discarded.
IMPORTANT--Do not attempt to operate the oven during
a power failure. If the power fails, always turn the
ovens off. If the ovens are not turns off and the power
resumes, the oven may begin to operate again. Food left
unattended could catch fire or spoil.
Never leave surface units unattended at high heat
settings--Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
spiiiovers that may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry
may melt.
Protective liners--Do not use aluminum foil to line oven
bottom or any other part of the appliance. Only use
aluminum foil as recommended for baking if used as a
cover placed on the food. Any other use of protective
liners or aluminum foil may result in a risk of electric
shock or fire or short circuit.
Glazed cooking utensils--Only certain types of glass,
glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed
utensils are suitable for rangetop service without
breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.
Check the manufacturer's recommendations for rangetop
use.
Do not use decorative surface element covers. Ifan
element isaccidentally turned on, the decorative cover
will become hot and possibly melt. Burns will occur if
the hot covers are touched. Damage may also be done
to the cooktop.
important Safety instructions
FOR GLASS COOKTOPS ONLY
• Do not clean or operate a broken cooktop--lf cooktop
should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may
penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric
shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.
• CJean cooktop glass with caution--if awet sponge or
cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be
careful to avoid a steam burn. Some cleaners can
produce harmful fumes ifapplied to a hot surface.
• Avoid scratching the cooktop glass with sharp
objects.
iMPORTANT iNSTRUCTiONS FOR USING
YOUR OVEN
• Use care when opening 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.
iMPORTANT iNSTRUCTiONS FOR
CLEANING YOUR RANGE
Clean the range regularly to keep aJJparts free of
grease that could catch fire. Exhaust fan ventilation
hoods and grease filters should be kept clean. Do not
allow grease to accumulate on hood or filter. Greasy
deposits in the fan could catch fire. When you are
flaming food under the hood, turn the fan on. Refer to
the hood manufacturer's instructionsfor cleaning.
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.
SELF CLEANING OVENS
in the self-Cleaning cycle only clean the parts listed
in this Use and Care Guide. Before self cleaning the
oven, remove the broiler pan and any utensils or foods
from the oven.
iii.........
• Keep ovens vents unobstructed. Each vent has its
own vent located on the top, near each side and towards
the back of the cooktop. Touching the surfaces in this
area when the oven isoperating may cause severe
burns. Also, do not place plastic or heat-sensitive items
on or near an oven vent. These items could melt or
ignite.
• Placement of ovens racks. Always place oven racks in
desired location while ovens are cool. If rack must be
moved while oven is hot use extreme caution. Use
potholders and grasp the rack with both hands to
reposJtion. Do not let potholders contact the hot heating
elements in the ovens. Remove all utensils from the
rack before moving.
• Do not use the broiler pan without its grid. The broiler
pan and its grid allow dripping fat to drain and be kept
away from the high heat of the broiler.
• Do not cover the broiler grid with aluminum foil.
Exposed fat and grease could ignite.
• Do not touch a hot light bulb with a damp cloth. Doing
so could cause the bulb to break. Disconnect the
appliance or turn off the power to the appliance before
removing and replacing light bulb.
.....iH.....
• Do not use oven cleaners--No commercial oven
cleaner or ovens liner protective coating of any kind
should be used in or around any part of the oven.
• Do not clean door gasket--The door gasket is
essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to
rub, damage or move the gasket.
• Remove oven racks. Oven racks color will change if
left in the oven during a self-cleaning cycle.
The health of some birds is extremely
sensitive to the fumes given off during the self-cleaning
cycle of any range. Move birds to another well ventilated
room.

Selecting Surface Cooking Utensils
For best result and energy conservation, choose cooking utensils that have these characteristics:
Pans should have flat bottoms. Check
for flatness by rotating a ruler across
the bottom. There should be no gap
between the pan and ruler.
Note: Always use a utensil for its
intended purpose. Follow
manufacturer's instructions. Some
utensils were not made to be used in
the oven or on the cooktop.
Do not use griddle over
more than one burner because itcould
damage your cooktop, it can also result
in exposure to carbon monoxide levels
above allowable current standards and
be hazardous to your health.

Leveling
For good baking results, your range should be level. Screw type leveling legs are pro-
vided at each corner of the range at the base. Remove the storage drawer to adjust the
leveling legs.
To level the range:
1. Use a 11A"open end key or an adjustable wrench to equally unscrew the four leveling
legs two to three turns each.
2. Install an oven rack in the center of the oven.
3. Move the range to itsfinal position, then put a level on the rack to check for level-
ness. Take two readings, one with the level placed diagonally first in one direction, and
then the other.
4. Use the 1 W' key or wrench to adjust the leveling legs. Turn each one until the range
stands firm without wobbling.
5. Some models are supported by smooth glide rollers to facilitate moving.
If floor is flat and level, open the drawer and lower the front roller locking levers (some
models) to prevent the range from moving.
If floor is not flat or level or ifthis model has rollers without locking levers, use the 4 lev-
eling legs to level, support and prevent the range from moving.
