IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Keep this book for later use.
Be sure your range Is Installed and grounded properly
by a qualified technician.
Choose pots and pans with flat bottoms, large enough
to cover the entire cooktop element. This will cut down
the risk of setting potholders or clothing on fire with an
uncovered element and waste less energy.
Always use care when touching cooktop elements,
areas near cooktop elements, oven heating elements or
insldethe oven. Heating elements could be hot enough
to burn you even If they are dark In color. The oven vent
duct and oven door may also become hot during range
use,
Always change oven rack positions while oven Iscool.
After broiling, always take the broiler pan out of the
range and clean It. Leftover grease In the broiler pen
can catch on fire next time you use the pan.
Always keep canned food and wooden or plastic uten-
sils a safe distance away from your range.
Always keep the appliance area clear and free from
things that will burn, gasoline, and other flammable
vapors and liquids.
Only some kinds of glass or ceramic pans can be used
for cooktop cooking. Be sure that the pan you use will
not break when heated on the cooktop elements.
Never try to repair or replace any part of the range
unless Instructions are given In this book. All other
work should be done by a skilled technician.
Never heat unopened food containers. Pressure
buildup may make container burst and cause Injury.
Never leave jars or cans of fat or drippings on or near

Bracket attaches to floor orwall to hold either right or left
rear leg leveler. If fastening to floor, be sure that screws
do not penetrate electrical wiring or plumbing. If this
cannot be determined, use shorter screws that will not
penetrate through flooring.
If the bracket came with your range, It Is shipped at-
tached to the lower range back. Remove and discard
the shipping screw that holds the bracket and then
follow instructions below.
1. Decide whether the bracket will be Installed on the
right or left side of range location.
2. If the bracket side of the range Is adjacent to a
cabinet, place the bracket against back wall and
cabinet as shown in Figure 1.
If there is no adjacent cabinet, determine where the
location of the range side (painted outside panel) will
be. Place the bracket with Its outside edge at this
location and against back wall. See Figure 1.
.

5,
Determine whether you will anchor the bracket tothe
floor or wall. Fasten the bracket securely with the
screws provided. Screws are self-drilling in wood,
plywood, particle and chip board, and most metal
framing. If attaching to masonryyou can buy suitable
screws and anchors at hardware stores. Use a
masonry drill to drill the required holes.
Using the wrench, back out the four leg levelers at
least two turns. See your Installation guide for more
leveling InformaUon before positioning range.
Slide the range into place. Be sure rear leg leveler
fully engages slot In bracket. If range cannot be
moved back far enough for rear leg leveler to enter
bracket, move bracket forward as required and attach
to floor in new location.
