INSTRUCTIONS

REMOVE ALL PARTS FROM THE PLASTIC BAG

ATTACHED TO THE BACK OF THE RANGE AND SAVE PACKAGING TAPE.

1) Before placing range In the counter, notice the loca- tion of the stability bracket which is already attached

to the back ot the range. This location should work

for most installations. However, it may be more convenient to hook the stability chain to the unit

when the stability bracket is attached to the upper set of holes in the back of the range (See Fig. 1). The

upper set of holes are Intended for use with a backsplash kit. If a backsplash kit is being used, the stability bracket can be relocated and put on at the same time as the backsplash kit. Ifthe backsplash is

not being used, make sure that there are no struc- tural supports for the countertop which will Interlere with the stability bracket when located in the upper

set of holes.

2) Fasten one end of the stability chain to the floor or the wall with the long screw and washer supplied (See

Fig. 2). Make certain the screw is going into the wall plate at the base of the wall or one of the studs In the

base of the wall (See Fig. 3). Whether you attach the

chain to the wall or floor, be certain that the screw Is

in at least 3/4" thickness of wood other than base- board and that there are no electrical wires or plumb-

ing in the area In which the screw could penetrate. Attach the stability chain in a location which will

allow the chain to be in line with the bracket side to side as much as possible when attached to the unit.

Test to see If the chain is securely fastened by tugging on the chain.

3) Temporarily attach the loose end of the chain to the

rear ol the countertop with the tape from the packag- ing (See Fig. 4).

4) Place the range In the counter cutout leaving just enough room between the back of the range and the

wall to reach the stability bracket.

5) Hook the loose end of the chain onto the bracket by

slipping the nearest link of the chain into the slot in

the bracket (See Fig. 1), making sure the chain is 1

pulled as tlg htaspossible and that there Is no excess slack In the chain after chain is attached to the

bracket.

Excess slack in the chain could allow the

range to tip over.

6) Slide the range all the way back Into the counter. Once the range is pushed back in place, there will be

a small amount of slack in the chain. This is normal.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Keep this book for later use. Be sure your range Is Installed and grounded properly

by a qualified technician. Always use dry potholders when removing pans from

the oven or cooktop. Moist or damp potholders can cause steam burns.

Always follow cleaning instructions In this book. Always keep the range and oven clean. Food and

grease are easy to ignite. Clean the range, oven and

vents regularly. Clean Only Parts Listed In Manual,

CAUTION: Do not store items of interest to

children in cabinets above a range or on the

backguard of a range. Children climbing on a range to reach items could be seriously injured.

Always keep combustible wall coverings, curtains, or drapes a safe distance away from your range and oven.

Always keep dish towels, dish cloths, potholders and other linens a safe distance away from your range.

Never store such items on your range. Always keep the appliance area clear and free from

things that will burn (gasoline and other flammable vapors and liquids).

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 therange. Neverletgreasebuilduponyourrange. You can keep grease fires from starting if you clean up

grease and spills after each range use.

Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially a deep fat

fryer. Wait until the fat has cooled.

Never touch burner grates or interior surfaces of the

oven. They may be hot even though there are no flames

present.

Always keep wooden utensils, plastic utensils or can ned

food a safe distance away from your range.

Some cleaners produce nox- ious fumes and wet cloths or

sponges could cause steam burns if used on a hot surface.

If they have been turned off. The glass surface of the cooktop will retain heat after the controls are turned off.

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 burners.

Never block free airflow through the oven vent.

Do not cook on broken cooktop. If cooktop should

break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electrical shock.

IMPORTANT SAFETY

NOTICE

The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforce- ment Act requires the governor of California to publish

a list of substances known to the state to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm and requires busi-

nesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.

Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four of

these substances, namely benzene, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by the incom-

plete combustion of natural gas or L.P. fuels. Properly

adjusted ranges, Indicated by a bluish rather than a

yellow flame, will minimize Incomplete combustion. Exposoure to these substances can be minimized by

further venting with an open window or using a ventila- tion fan or hood.

The range, as shipped from the factory, can only be operated with natural gas. DOnot try to operate Itwith

L.P. (bottled) gas. High flames and toxic fumes could cause serious injury. If you wish to use your range with

L.P. gas, you must purchase an L.P. Conversion Kit and have it Installed by a qualified Installer.

OVEN FIRE-- DO NOT TRY TO MOVE THE PAN!

1. Close oven door and turn controls off.

2. Iffire continues, throw baking soda on the fire, or use a dry chemical,

foam, or halon type extinguisher.

REMOVAL OF PACKAGING TAPE:

To remove adhesive left from packing tape and ensure you do not damage the finish of your new appliance, use an application of household liquid dish washing deter-

gent, mineral oil, or cooking oil. Apply with soft cloth

and allow to soak. Wipe with soft cloth. DO NOT use plastic pad or equivalent. Wipe dry and then apply an appliance polish to thoroughly clean and protect the surface. This procedure is also safe for the face of

microwave doors and other plastic parts. NOTE: The plastic tape must be removed from

chrome trim on range parts, It CANNOT be removed if baked on.
