FOR BRACKET K_T NO. 342473

TOOLS NEEDED:

Bracket attaches to floor or wall to hold either right or left
rear leg leveler_ If fastening to floor, be surethat 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

foItow instructions below_

.

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.

floor or wail. Fasten the bracket securely with the
screws provided. Screws are self.drilling in wood,
plywood, particle and chip board, and most metal
framing. Ifattachlng to masonry, you can buy suitable

screws and anchors at hardware stores° Use a
masonry drill to drill the required holeso

4. Using the wrench, back out the four leg levelers at
least two turns. See your installation guide for more
leveling information before positioning range°

5o 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.

appliances, basic safe=y precautions should be followed, including the following:

Teach children not to play with range

knobs or any other part of the range.
Never leave children alone or unat-

tended where a range is in use.

CAUTION:

S"

Items of interest to children
should not be stored in cabinets
above the range or on the

backsplash of the range. Chil.

dren climbing on the range to

reach items could be seriously

injured.

Never let anyone climb, sit or stand
on the open door or any other part of

the range. Their weight may make
the range tip over.

Never leavethe oven door open when

you are not watching the range.

2 NESAF08-5

Always keep the range area clear
and free from things that will burn.

or heating a room. You could be
burned or seriously injured. Such
misuse could also cause damage to
the range.

Never wear loose clothing when
using your range, Such clothing

could catch fire,

Never let pot handles stick out

over the front of the range. Turn

handles in so that they cannot be

bumped into. Keep the handles
away from other hot surface ele-

ments/burners.

Never use atowel or other bulky cloth

as a potholder. Such cloths could
catch fire on a hot element/burner.

Never leave cooktop elements/
burners unwatched at high heat
settings. Boilovers cause smok-
ing and greasy spillovers could

catch fire.

3 NESAFOg-2

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 the cooktop, oven

heating elements or inside the 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. The glass surface of the
cooktop will retain heat after the controls areturned 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 elements.
Place oven racks in desired posltio nwhile oven ts cool.

tf rack must be moved while oven _s 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.
AUways use dry potholders when removing pans from

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

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

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.

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_

Clean Only Parts Listed In Manual.
Always remove broiler pan and other utensils from the

oven before a self-clean cycler
CAUTBON: 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 coulld be seriously injured,

Always keep combustible wall coverings, curtains, or

drapes a safe distance away from your range and oven.

AJways 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

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 use aluminum foil to line drip bowls or oven
bottoms. Improper use of foil could start a fire.

Never block free airflow through the oven vent.
Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially adeep fat

fryer. Wait until the fat has cooled.

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.
Contact a qualified technician immediately.

cleaning ranges. The gasket isessential fora good seal.

Only clean the gasket by soaking it with hydrogen
peroxide, as described in the self-clean section of the

manual.

disconnect the power supply. Have serviced by a

qualified technician.
Always keep wooden utensils, plastic utensils or canned

food a safe distance away from your range.
Be sure everyone in your home knows what to do in

case of fire.
For major spills -- Turn unit to LO; use dry paper

towels to wipe up major spills, and then use a razor
scraper (held in a pothoider) to scrape major spills from
a hot cooking zone. DO NOT attempt further cleaning
until cooktop surface has cooled.

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.

o

Neve_ slide cookware across your cooktop.

DO HOT use a dish loweU or sponge to w_pe up the cook_op. They may leave
a detergent film on the cooktop which may cause discoloration when heated. Ifthis
occurs, remove the discoloration with a recommended cooktop cleaner.

Melted materials (plastic, aluminum foil, sugar, or foods with high sugar content)
can cause damage to the cooktop. If you accidentally melt anything on your

cooktop, turn unit to LO; wipe hot cooktop immediately with several dry paper
towels. Scrape off remainder of burned material with razor scraper (held with

potholder) at 30° angle while unit is warm. Be careful not to burn yourself! After

cooking is complete, turn unit to OFF. DO _OT attempt further cleaning until
cooktop surface has cooled.

The fiberglass insulation in self-clean ovens gives off a
very small amount of carbon monoxide during the

cleaning cycle. Exposure can be minimized by venting
with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood.

. DO HOT use scouring powders, plastic, nylon or metal cleaning pads. They may

scratch the cooktop.

- _O NOT use chlorine bleach, ammonia, hydrofluoric acid, chemical oven cleaners,

or any other kind of chemical cleaner. They may discolor the cooktop.
