This symbol will help alert you to situations that may cause bodily injury or property damage.

• Remove all tape and packaging before using the range.

Destroy the carton and plastic bags after unpacking the range. Never allow children to play with packaging material.

• Proper Installation—Be sure your appliance is properly

installed and grounded by a qualified technician in accordance with the National Electrical Code ANSI/ NFPA No. 70 latest edition and local electrical code requirements. Install only per installation instructions provided

in the literature package for this range. Ask your dealer to recommend a qualified technician and an authorized repair service. Know how to disconnect the power to the range at the circuit breaker or fuse box in case of an emergency.

• User servicing—Do not repair or replace any part of the

appliance unless specifically recommended in the manuals. All other servicing should be done only by a

qualified technician. This may reduce the risk of personal injury and damage to the range.

• Never modify or alter the construction of a range by

removing leveling legs, panels, wire covers, anti-tip brackets/screws, or any other part of the product.

Stepping, leaning or sitting on the doors or drawers of this range can result in serious injuries and also cause damage to the range. Do not allow children to

climb or play around the range. The weight of a child on an open door may cause the range to tip, resulting in serious burns or other injury.

Do not store items of interest to children in the cabinets above a range or on the backguard of a range. Children climbing on the range to reach items could be

seriously injured.

Do not use the oven or warmer drawer (if

equipped) for storage.

Never Use Your Appliance for Warming or

Heating the Room.

• Storage in or on Appliance—Flammable materials should not be stored in an oven, warmer drawer, near surface units or in the storage drawer. This includes

paper, plastic and cloth items, such as cookbooks, plasticware and towels, as well as flammable liquids. Do not store explosives, such as aerosol cans, on or near the range.

• 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 NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS, AREAS NEAR THESE UNITS, HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF THE OVEN. Both surface units and oven heating elements

may be hot even though they are dark in color. 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 cook top, surfaces facing the cook top, 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.

• When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Fat or

grease may catch fire if allowed 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 - Buildup of pressure may cause container to burst and result in injury.

• Remove the oven door from any unused range if it is to be stored or discarded.

IMPORTANT—Do not attempt to operate the range during a power failure. If the power fails, always turn off the range.

If the range is not turned off and the power resumes, the range will begin to operate again. Once the power resumes, reset the clock and oven function.

Important Safety Instructions

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR COOKTOP

• Know which knob controls each surface heating unit. Place a

pan of food on the unit before turning it on, and turn the unit 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—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.

• Never Leave Surface Elements Unattended at High Heat Settings—Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that

may ignite, or a pan that has boiled dry may melt.

• Do Not Immerse or Soak Removable Heating Elements—

Heating elements should never be immersed in water. Heating elements clean themselves during normal operation.

• Glazed Cooking Utensils—Only certain types of glass, glass/ ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for cook top service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Check the manufacturer’s recommendations for cook top use.

• When flaming foods under a ventilating hood, turn the fan on.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR OVEN

• Use Care When Opening Oven Door or Warmer Drawer (if equipped)—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 under the left rear surface element if your model is equipped with coil elements. The oven vent is located below the backguard for models equipped with ceramic-glass cook tops. 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 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.

• Do not cover the broiler insert with aluminum foil. Exposed fat and grease could ignite.

• Protective Liners—Do not use aluminum foil to line 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.

SELF CLEANING OVENS

• Clean in the self-cleaning cycle only the parts listed in this Use & Care Manual. Before self cleaning the oven, remove the broiler

pan and any utensils or foods from the oven.

• Do Not Use Oven Cleaners—No commercial oven cleaner or oven 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.

•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.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR CLEANING YOUR RANGE

• Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of grease that could catch fire. Pay particular attention to the area underneath 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 manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning.

COIL COOK TOP MODELS

• 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.

• Protective Liners—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. Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of electric shock, or fire.

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.

Baking Layer Cakes with 1 or 2 Oven Racks

For best results when baking cakes using 2 oven racks, place cookware on rack positions 2 & 5 (for models with a visible bake element). For models with a hidden bake element place oven racks in positions 3 (Flat rack) & 6 with the Offset rack if equipped (Refer to Fig. 4).

For best results when using a single oven rack, place cookware on rack position 4 (for all models - Refer to Fig. 5).

Air Circulation in the Oven

For best air circulation and 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. The hot air must be able to circulate around the pans and cookware in the oven for even heat to reach around the food.
