Tools you will need:
o Phillips head screwdriver
° 13/8" open end or adjustable wrench
1. Remove the bracket from the
prepack located inside the oven
2. Decide whether the bracket will be
installed on the right or left side of
range location
3. 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 2.
4. Determine whether you wili anchor
the bracket to the floor or wal!,
Make sure this location is clear of
electrical wiring or plumbing,

Fasten the bracket securely with
the screws provided, Screws are
self-drilling in wood, plywood,

x_i J of the range from ab-_
normal usage, including ex-
cessive loading of the oven
door, attach the range to the
wall or floor by installing the
Anti-Tip device supplied. If the
range is moved for cleaning,
servicing or any reason, be
sure the Anti-Tip device is re-
engaged properly when the
range is slid back in the open.
Bng. Failure to do so could
result in the range tipping or
personal injury. To inspect the
anti-tip device, remove the
storage drawer and look to
see if the rear leg leveler fully
engages the slot in the
bracket.

INSTRUCTIONS
• DO NOT touch heating elements
surfaces near them or interior oven
surfaces These may be hot enough to
cause burns even though they are
dark in cotor During and after use do
not touch or let clothing or flammable
material contact the elements or hot
surfaces until they have had time to
cool Other surfaces near the oven
vent openings oven door and
window and cooktop surfaces may
also be hot enough to cause burns
. ONLY SOME kinds of glass or
ceramic cookware can be used for
cooktop cooking Make sure the
cookware you choose to use is
designed for cooktop cooking without
breaking due to the sudden tempera
ture change
. ALWAYS USE care when touching
cooktop elements They will retain
heat after the range has been turned
off
NEVER LEAVE surface units
unattended at high settings Boilovers
result in smoking or greasy spills
which could catch fire
- ALWAYS TURN utensil handles
inward and away from other surface
units to reduce the risk of burns
ignition Unintended contact and
spillage
• NEVER put heating elements in
water
PLACE OVEN RACKS in the
desired position while the oven is
cool If racks must be moved while
oven is hot do not let potholder
contact the hot oven element
• AFTER BROILING, always take
the broiler pan and grid out of the
oven and clean them Leftover
grease in the broiler pan could catch
fire the next time you use your oven
° ALWAYS USE care when opening
the oven door Let hot air and steam
escape before moving foods
° NEVER USE aluminum foil to line the
oven bottom Improper use of foi! could
result in the risk of electrical shock and
fire
• NEVER BLOCK the oven air vent
under the right rear element
• COOKWARE USED for cooktop
cooking should be flat on the bottom
and large enough to cover the heating
area being used Undersized utensils
expose the heating element and may
result in direct contact or ignition of
clothing

IMPORTAHT 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 birth defects or other
reproductive harm and requires
businesses to warn their cus-
tomers of potential exposure to
such substances. The fiberglass
insulation in a self-cleaning oven
will give off a very small amount
of carbon monoxide during the
cleaning cycle. Exposure can be
minimized by venting with an
open door or window or using a
ventilation fan or hood.
. iii iii _q
CAUTION:Never line the drip
bowls with aluminum
foil. Foil can block the normal
heat flow and damage the
range. Always use cookware
and woks that are flat on the
bottom and the same size as
the cooking element being
used. Cookware should not
extend more than 1" beyond
the edge of the cooking
element.

You may feel that your new oven
cooks differently than the oven it re-
placed. We recommend that you
use your new oven a few weeks to
become more familiar with it, follow-
ing the times given in your recipes
as a guide,, See Do It Yourself Tem-
perature Adjustment in the back of
this manual to make the adjustment if
you feel your oven is too hot or too
cool for your cooking preference,
1. The door handle is latched during
a baking or broiling function;
2. The door handle is not latched
during a self-clean function,
Your new range is equipped with a
hide-away-handle (used for self-clean
only) that can be hidden under the
maintop when it is in the unlocked
position°
1. Be sure the handle is in the
unlocked position and raise the
cooktop
2. Push the handle into the latch
cover until it stops,
3. Lower the cooktop,
Your oven control has a selector knob
for choosing BAKE, BROIL, or
CLEAN, There are also three
indicator lights:
• PREHEATED indicator Light
-- turns on and stays on when oven
has reached selected bake tem-
perature,
• OVEN ON Indicator Light --
turns on and stays on when bake,
broil, or clean function has been
chosen.
• CLEAN Indicator Light -- turns

OPERATION
Broiling
Broiling is cooking by direct heat
from the upper element The oven
door should remain open to the broil
stop position during broiling
The US Department of Agriculture
notes that meat cooked rare is
popular, but meat cooked to only
140°F (rare) moans that some food
poisoning organisms may survive
The closer you place foods to the
broil element, the faster foods brown
on the outside yet remain red to pink
in the center.
Moving meats away from the element
will allow the meat to cook to the
center while browning on the outside
Cook side 1 at least 2 minutes longer
than side 2 If your oven is connected
to 208 volts, you may want to use a
higher rack position and/or broil
foods longer.
It is not necessary to preheat the
oven when broiling. Use the broiler
pan and grid that came with your
range Both are designed for proper
drainage of fat and liquids.
be molded tightly to
lf foil is used it must
the grid and slits cut
into the foil to match
those of the grid. This
allows fats and liquids to
drain into the broiler pan,
preventing fire and
excessive smoke.
Always remove the pan and
grid from the oven. _

a soiled broiler pan
in the oven is a potential

nent stains that cannot be removed
For heavily soiled bowls, place an am-
monia-soaked paper towel over the
bowl to loosen the soil, then gently
scrub the bow! with a plastic scouring
pad
For blue-gold heat stains -- use
a metal polish These stains are
caused by overheating, and are usu-

"DOIT YOURSELF"
TEMPERATURE
ADJUSTMENT
You may fee! that your new oven
cooks differently than the oven it
replaced We recommend that you
use your new oven a few weeks to
become more familiar with it, following
the times given in your recipes as a
guide
If you think your new oven is too hot
(burning foods) or not hot enough
(foods are undercooked) you can
adjust the temperature yourself, The
appearance and texture of foods is a
better indicator of oven accuracy than
an oven thermometer, to check the
temperature setting of your new oven.
These thermometers can vary by 20-
40 degrees In addition, the oven door
must be opened to read these
thermometers Opening the door will
change the temperature of the oven.
1. While the control knob is in the off
position, press and hold, at the
same time, the HOUR UP and
DOWN arrow pads until the
display shows a two digit number.
2. Press the HOUR UP arrow pad to
increase the temperature from the
original setting up to +35 ° F hotter
or
Press the HOUR DOWN arrow
pad to decrease the temperature
from the original setting down to -
35° F cooler.
3. When this adjustment has been
made the display will return to the
time of day
This adjustment will remain in memory
until these steps are repeated, and a
new temperature is selected. It will
remain in memory even after a power
failure
This adjustment will not affect the Broil
or Clean temperatures.
To decide how much to change the
temperature, set the oven
temperature 25 degrees higher (if
foods are undercooked) or 25
degrees lower (if foods are burning)
than the temperature in your recipe,
then bake The results of this "test"
should give you an idea of how much
the temperature should be changed,
