SM

x ALL RANGES CAN TIP AND

CAUSE INJURIES TO PERSONS.

x INSTALL ANTI-TIP DEVICES

PACKED WITH RANGE.

x FOLLOW ALL INSTALLATION

INSTRUCTIONS.

WARNING: To reduce risk of tipping of the appliance

from abnormal usage or by excessive loading of the oven
door, the appliance must be secured by a properly
installed anti-tip device.

Check if device is properly installed. Remove the four
screws that secure the lower panel to the range.

Look underneath range to make sure one of the rear
leveling legs is properly engaged in the bracket slot. The
anti-tip device secures the rear leveling leg to the floor
when properly engaged. You should check this anytime
the range has been moved.

Read and follow all instructions before using this
appliance to prevent the potential risk of fire, electric

shock, personal injury or damage to the appliance as a
result of improper usage of the appliance. Use appliance
only for its intended purpose as described in this manual.

To ensure proper and safe operation: Appliance must
be properly installed and grounded by a qualified
technician.

IN CASE OF FIRE

Turn off appliance and ventilating hood to avoid spreading
the flame. Extinguish flame then turn on hood to remove
smoke and odor.

S Cooktop: Smother fire or flame in a

pan with a lid or cookie sheet.

NEVER pick up or move a
flaming pan.

S Oven: Smother fire or flame by closing the oven door.

Do not use water on grease fires. Use baking soda, a dry
chemical or foam-type extinguisher to smother fire or
flame.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: NEVER use appliance

door, or drawer, if equipped, as a
step stool or seat as this may result
in possible tipping of the appliance,
damage to the appliance, and
serious injuries.

If appliance is installed near a window, proper
precautions should be taken to prevent curtains from
blowing over surface elements.

NEVER use appliance to warm or
heat the room. Failure to follow this
instruction can lead to possible
burns, injury , fire, or damage to the
appliance.

NEVER wear loose-fitting or
hanging garments while using the
appliance. Clothing could catch
utensil handles or ignite and cause
burns if garment comes in contact
with hot heating elements.

To ensure proper operation and to avoid damage to the
appliance or possible injury, do not adjust, service, repair
or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically
recommended in this manual. Refer all other servicing to a
qualified technician.

NEVER store or use gasoline or other combustible or
flammable materials in the oven, near surface units or in
the vicinity of this appliance as fumes could create a fire
hazard or an explosion.

To prevent grease fires, do not let cooking grease or other
flammable materials accumulate in or near the appliance.

Use only dry potholders. Moist or
damp potholders on hot surfaces
may result in a steam burn. Do not
let potholder touch hot heating
elements. Do not use a towel or
other bulky cloth which could
easily touch hot heating elements
and ignite.

COOKTOP

NEVER leave surface units

unattended especially when using
high heat settings. An unattended
boilover could cause smoking and a
greasy spillover can cause a fire.

This appliance is equipped with different size surface
elements. Select pans having flat bottoms large enough to
cover element. Proper relationship of pan to element will
improve cooking efficiency.

If pan is smaller than element, a
portion of the element will be
exposed to direct contact and
could ignite clothing or potholder.

Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic,
earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for
cooktop or oven service without breaking due to the
sudden change in temperature. Follow utensil
manufacturer’s instructions when using glass.

Turn pan handle toward center of
cooktop, not out into the room or
over another surface element. This
reduces the risk of burns, ignition of
flammable materials, or spillage if
pan is accidently bumped or
reached by small children.

To prevent damage to removable heating elements, do not
immerse, soak or clean in a dishwasher or self-clean
oven. A damaged element could short resulting in a fire or
shock hazard.

Make sure drip bowls are in place as absence of these
bowls during cooking could damage wiring or parts.

Always turn off all controls when cooking is completed.

NEVER heat unopened containers on the surface unit or
in the oven. Pressure build-up in the container may cause
container to burst resulting in burns, injury or damage to
the appliance.

NEVER use aluminum foil to line drip bowls, or to cover
an oven rack or oven bottom. Misuse could result in risk of
electric shock, fire, or damage to the appliance. Use foil
only as directed in this manual.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

OVEN

Use care when opening door . Let hot
air or steam escape before removing
or replacing food.

For proper oven operation and
performance, do not block or obstruct
oven vent duct.

Always place oven racks in desired locations while oven is
cool. If rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not let
potholder contact hot heating element in oven.

VENTILATING HOODS

Clean range hood and filters frequently to prevent grease
or other flammable materials from accumulating on hood
or filter and to avoid grease fires.

Turn the fan on when flambéing foods (such as Cherry
Jubilee) under the hood.

DEEP FAT FRYERS

Use extreme caution when moving the grease kettle or
disposing of hot grease. Allow grease to cool before
attempting to move pan.

HEATING ELEMENTS

NEVER touch surface or oven
heating elements, areas near
elements or interior surfaces of
oven.

Heating elements may be hot even
though they are dark in color. Areas
near surface elements and interior
surfaces of an oven may become hot enough to cause
burns. During and after use, do not touch or let clothing
or other flammable materials contact heating elements,
areas near elements, or interior surfaces of oven until
they have had sufficient time to cool.

Other potentially hot surfaces include: Cooktop, areas
facing the cooktop, oven vent opening, surfaces near the
vent opening, oven door, areas around the door, and oven
window.

CHILD SAFETY

NEVER leave children alone or

unsupervised in area where
appliance is in use or is still hot.

NEVER allow children to sit or stand
on any part of the appliance as they
could be injured or burned.

CAUTION: NEVER store items of
interest to children in cabinets
above an appliance or on backguard
of a range. Children climbing on
appliance, door or drawer to reach
items could damage the appliance
or be burned or seriously injured.

Children must be taught that the appliance and utensils in
or on it can be hot. Let hot utensils cool in a safe place,
out of reach of small children. Children should be taught
that an appliance is not a toy. Children should not be
allowed to play with controls or other parts of the unit.

ABOUT YOUR COOKTOP

CAUTION

5

Before cooking . . .

S Always place a pan on the surface unit before you

turn it on. To prevent damage to range, never
operate surface unit without a pan in place.

S NEVER use the cooktop as a storage area for food

or cookware.

During cooking . . .

S Be sure you know which knob controls which surface

unit. Make sure you turned on the correct surface
unit.

S Begin cooking on a higher heat setting then reduce

to a lower setting to complete the operation. Never
use a high heat setting for extended cooking.

S NEVER allow a pan to boil dry. This could damage

the pan and the appliance.

S NEVER touch cooktop until it has cooled. Expect

some parts of the cooktop, especially around the
surface units, to become warm or hot during
cooking. Use potholders to protect hands.

After cooking . . .

S Be sure surface element is off after cooking.

S Clean up greasy spills as soon as possible.

Other tips . . .

S To eliminate the hazard of reaching over hot surface

elements do not install cabinet storage directly
above a unit.

If storage is provided, limit it to items that are
infrequently used and can be safely stored in an
area subjected to heat.

Temperatures may be unsafe for items such as
volatile liquids, cleaners or aerosol sprays.

S Aerosol-type spray cans are EXPLOSIVE or highly

flammable when exposed to heat. Avoid their use or
storage near an appliance.

S NEVER leave any items, especially plastic items,

unattended on the cooktop. The hot air from the vent
may ignite flammable items, melt or soften plastics,
or increase pressure in closed containers causing
them to burst.

S NEVER allow aluminum foil, meat probes or any

other metal object, other than a utensil on a surface
element, to contact heating elements.
