1) Before placing range in the counter, notice the loca-
tion of the stability bracket which is already attached
to the back of the range. This location shouid work

for most Installations. However, it may be more

convenient to hook the stability chain to the unit
when the stability bracket isattached 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. Ira backsplash kit is being used, the
stability bracket can be relocated and put on at the
same time as the backsplash kit. if the backsplash is

not being used, make sure that there are no struco
tural supports for the countertop which will interfere

with the stability bracket when located in the upper

set of holes.

2) Fasten one end ofthe stabiltychain 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 wooc{ 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 posstbie 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 of 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. t), making sure the chain Is

_'_r_te 1o lip over,

6) Side the range all the way back Into the counter.

BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

ENSTRUCTIONS

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.
Altways follow cleaning instructions In this book_

ARways 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.
CAUTnON: Do not store items of interest to

chindren in cabinets above a range or on the
backguard of a range. Children cmirnbing 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 ,quids).

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
the range. Never let grease build up on your range. 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 surface units, heating elements, or interior
surfaces of the oven. They may be hot even though they

appear dark In color°
Always keep wooden or plastic utensils and canned

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.

COOKTOP SAFETY

Always use care when touching the cooktop_ Heating
elements could be hot enough to burn you even if they

are dark in color. The glass surface of the cooktop will
retain heat after the controls are turned off.

OnBy 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 block free airflow through the oven vent. -

Do not ceok on brol_en cooktop, If cooktop Should
break, cleaning solutions and sptllovers may penetrate

the broken cooktop and create a risk of electrical shock.
Contact a qualified technician lmmedlately.

For rnejo_ sp_Dls -- Turn unit to LO; use dry paper
towels to wipe up major spills, and then use a razor
scraper (held ina potholder) to scrape major spills from

a hot cooking zone. DO NOT attempt further cleaning
until cooktop surface has cooled.

Choose pots and pans

...........................enough to cover the en-

tire cooktop element° This will cut down the risk of
setting potholders or clothing on fire with an uncovered
element and waste less energy.

OVEN SAFETY

]Place oven racks indesired position while oven iscool.
If rack must be moved while oven Is hot, do not let

potholder contact hot heating element in oven.

After broiling, always take the broiler pan out of the

range and clean it. Leftover grease in the broiler pan

can catch on fire next time you use the pan.

Always use care when opening oven door. t.et hot air
and steam out before moving food.

Never use aluminum foil to line drip bowls or oven
bottoms. Improper use of foil could start a fire.

Se=LF.CLe:AN SAFe:TY

H the self-cleaning mode enaifunctions, turn off
and disconnect the power supply. Have serviced by a

qualified technician.
Always remove broiler pan and other utensils from the

oven before a self-clean cycle.

Never rub, move, or damage the door gasket on self-

cleaning ranges° The gasket is essential for agood seal.

Never try to clean utensils, cookware or removable

parts of your range during a self-clean cycle.

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.

U_PORTANT SAFETY 1ROTtIC_:

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 birth defects or other reproductive harm and requires businesses to warn

customers of potential exposure to such substances. The fiberg lass insulation in self-cleaning ovens gives off avery

small amount of carbon monoxide during the cleaning cycle. E,.:posure can be minimized by venting with an open

window or using a ventilation fan or hood,

TO START THINGS COOKING (conto)

For best cooking results and energy efficient operation,

you should use metal pans that are flat on the bottom.

Match the size of the pan to the size of the cooking zone.

The pan should not extend over the edge of the cooking
zone more than 1".

HeM5 CANNING TIPS

in surface cooking of foods other than canning, the use

of large-diameter pots (extending more than 1" beyond
edge of cooking zone) is not recommended. However,

when canning with water-bath or pressure canner,
large-diameter pots may be used. This is beck.use
bolltng water temperatures (even under pressure) are
not.harmful to cooktop surfaces surrounding cooking

zones.

HO_._EVER_ DO _OT USE L_GE DIA_,_ETER C_I_
_I_F_S OR O'_'I;'_ER _RG_ D_TER PO'1r_; FOR
FRYRI_G OR E_O_L_G FOODS OTHER THAH WATER.

_vlost syrup or sauce rni×tures -- and all types of _rying

_cook at temperatures much htgher than boiling w_ter.

Such temperatures could eventually harm cool,top sup
faces surrounding cooking zones.

OBSERVe- FOLLO , NG POINTS

CANNING

1. Bring water to boil on HIGH heat, then after boiling
has begun, adjust heat to the lowest setting which
maintains the boil (saves energy and best uses

cooking zone).

2. Be sure canner fits over center of cooking zone. If

your range does not allow canner to be centered on
cooking zone, use smaller diameter pots for good
canning results.

3. Flat-bottomed canners give best canning results. Be
sure bottom of canner is flat or slight indentation fits
snugly over cooking zone. Canners with flanged or

rippled bottoms (often found In enamelware) are not

recommended.

Note: A slight odor is norn'_l when a new
cooktop is used for _he first time. it is caused by
tLheheating of new parts and insula_ting materials
_nd wiii disappeaw in a short time.

COOkiNG

We recommend that you use only a flat-bottom wok_
They are available at your local retail store.

4. When canning, use recipes from reputable sources.
Reliable recipes are available from the manufacturer
of your canner; manufacturers of glass jars for can-

ning, such as Bail and Kerr; and the United States
Department of Agriculture Extension Service.

5. Remember, In following the recipes, that canning Is a
process that generates large amounts of steam. Be

carefulwhilecanning to preventburns from steam or hesL

NOTE" If your range is being operated on low power
(voltage), canning may take longer than expected, even

though directions have been carefully followed. The

process may be improved by:

(1) using a pressure canner, and

(2) beginning with hot tap water when heating

larger quantifies of water.
