INSTRUCTIONS
WA/LNING: To reduce the risk of tipping of appIiance
from abnormal usage or by excessive loading of the
oven door, tim appliance must be secured by a properly,
installed anti-tip device. When removing the appliance
for cleaning, be sm-ethe anti-tip de_iee is engaged when
the range is replaced. Look underneath range to verify
that 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.
Do not attempt to adjust, repair, serviee, or replace any
part of appliance unless it is specifically recommended
in this book. All other servicing should be referred to a
qualified servicer. Always disconnect power to unit
before any"servicing by tripping circuit breaker to the
OFF position or removing the filse.
Locate and mark the breaker or fuse. Never replace a
blox_mfuse or reset a breaker until you know what has
caused the problem. Alwws replace a blown fi.lse with
one of the correct amperage.
To Prevent Fire or Smoke Damage
Bemove all packing materials from the appliance before
operating it.
Flammable materials should not be stored in an oven or
on or near surface elements.
If appliance is installed near a window, proper
precautions should be taken to prevent curtains from
blowing over surIhce elements.
Do not leave any items on the eooktup. The hot air fi'om
the vent may ignite flammable items and may increase
pressure in closed containers which may canse them to
burst.
Many aerosol-type spray cans are EXPLOSIVE when
exposed to heat and may be highly flammable. Avoid
their use or storage near an applianee.
Do not leave plastic items on the eooktop as they may
melt or soften if left too elose to the vent or surface
element.
To eliminate the hazard of reaching over hot surface
elements, cabinet storage should not be provided
directly above a unit. If such storage is provided, it
should be limited to items which are used infrequently
and which are safely stored in an area subjected to heat
from an appliance. Ternperatures may be unsate for
some items, such as volatile liquids, cleaners or aerosol
spr_s.
In Case of Fire
Turn off appliance and ventilating hood to avoid
spreading the flame.
Use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher or baking
soda to smother fire or flame. Never use water on a
grease fire.
If fire is in the oven or broiler pan, smother by dosing
oven door.
If fire is in a pan on the surface element, cover pan.
Never attempt to pick up or move a flaming pan.
Child Safety

other parts of the unit. Children should never be
allowed to sit or stand on any pm-t of the applim, ce.
CAUTION: Do not store items
of interest to children in cabinets
above an applianee or on the
backguard of a range. Children
climbing on the appliance or on
the al2pliance door to reach items
could he seriously ir_jured.
Never heat an unopened fbod eontainer. Pressure build-
up may cause container to burst resulting in personal
injury or damage to the applianee.

surfaces may cause bums from steam. Towels or other
bulky" items should never be used as potholders. Do not
let potholders touch hot heating elements.
About Your Appliance
To prevent injury or damage to
the appliance, do not use ap-
plianee as a space beater to heat or warm a room. Also,
do not use the eooktop
or oven as a storage area
for food or cooking
_4_yra_
utensils.
Keep the oven vent
ducts UNOBSTRUCT-
ED (located under the
right rear element for
coil cooktops or on the cooktop for smoothtop models).
Blockage of the vent prevents the proper oven air
circulation and will affect the oven performance.
CAUTION: Do not use :
an appliance as a step
stool to cabinets above.
Misuse of appliance
doors or drawers, such as
stepping, leaning or
sitting on the door or
drawer, may result in possible tipping of the appliance,
breakage of door, and serious injuries.
Do not touch a hot oven light bulb _th a damp cloth as
the bulb could break. Should the bulb break, disconnect
power to the appliance be_bre removing bulb to avoid
electrical shock.
Cooking Safety
Always turn off surface element or the oven when
cooking is completed.
It is normal for some parts of the cooktop, especially
areas surrounding the surface elements, to become hot
during cooking operations. Do not touch the eooktop
until it has cooled.
Never leave surface cook-
ing operations unattended
at high heat setting or
when deep fat frying.
Boilovers cause smoke
and greasy spillovers may
ignite.
Always let qum_tities of hot fat coo! before attempting to
move or handle.
Do not let grease or other flammable materiaJs
accumulate in or near the appliance, hood or vent _:an.
Clean hood frequently to prevent grease from
accumtllating on hood or filter.
Make sure the drip bowls are" in place (select models).
Absence of these bowIs during cooking may subject
_-iring or components underneath to damage.
Ceramic glass cooktop (select models): Do not cook on
a broken eooktop. Cleaning solutions and spillovers mav
penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of
electric shock. Contact
a qualified technician
immediately.
Loose fitting or long
hanging-sleeved apparel
should not be worn while
cooking. Clothing may gnite
or catch utensil handles.
Always place oven racks in the desired positions M,ile
oven is cool. If a rack must be moved while hot, use a
dty potholder and avoid touching hot element in oven.
Use care when opening the oven door. Let hot air or
steam escape before removing or replacing fbod.
PI/EPAI1ED FOOD _VAI1NING: Follow f)md
manufacturer's instructions. If a plastic frozen food
container and/or its cover distorts, warps, or is otherwise
damaged during eooldng, immediately discard the 17ood

DO NOT TOUCH THE SURFACE OR OVEN
ELEMENTS, AREAS NEAR THE ELEMENTS OR
TIlE INTEBIOR SURFACES OF OVEN. Elements
may be hot even thongh they are dark in color. Areas
near surfaee elements and the interior surihces of the
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 bad sufficient time to cool. Other areas may
become hot. Among these areas are the eooktop, the
surfaces facing the oooktop, the oven vent opening and
the snriCaees near opening, oven door, and oven x_dndow.
PAGE 3
Do not 'allow aluminum foil or any other metal object
{other than a pan on a surface element) to contact
heating elements.
Utensil Safety
Use [)roper pan size. This appliance is equipped with
one or more sunCace elements of different sizes. Select
utensils hav_ing fiat bottoms large enough to cover the
surface element. The use of undersized utensils will
expose a portion of the heating element to direct
contact and may result in the ignition of clothing. The
proper relationship of the utensil to the element will
also improve efficiency.
Use pans with flat bottoms and handles that are easily
grasped and stay cool. Avoid using unstable or loose
handled pans.
Be sure utensil is large enough to properly contain food
and avoid boilovers. Pan size is particularly important in
deep fat f_dng.
To minimize burns, ignition of flammable materials and
spillage due to unintentional contact _aSth the utensil, do
not extend handles over adjacent surface elements. Al-
ways turn pan handles toward the side or back of the
appliance, not out into the room where they are easily"
hit or reached by small children.
Never let a pan boil dry as this could damage the utensil
and the appliance.
Follow the manufacturer's directions when using oven
cooking bags.
Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, or
glazed utensils are suitable for eooktop or oven usage
without breaking due to the sudden change in
temperature.
This appliance has been tested for safe performance
using conventional cookware. Do not use any devices or
accessories that are not specifically recommended in
this manual. Do not use eyelid covers for the surface
units, stove top grills, or add on oven convection
systems. The use of devices or accessories that are not
expressly recommended in this manuaI can create
serious safety hazards, result in performance problems,
and reduce the life of the components of the appliance.
Cleaning Safety
Clean only parts listed in this book and follow
recommended procedures.
Turn off all controls and wait for appliance parts to cool
before touching or cleaning them.
Clean eooktop with caution. Use care to avoid steam
burns if a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a
hot surface. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes
if applied to a hot surface.
Do not soak or immerse the removable heating
elements in water {select models), hnmersing an
element in water would damage the insulating material
inside the element.
Do not use aluminum foil to line the surface unit drip
bowls (select models) or the oven bottom. Improper
installation of these liners may result in a risk of electric
shock or fire.
Self-Clean Oven
Do not clean door gasket. The door gasket is essential
for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub,
damage, or move the gasket. Do not use oven cleaners
of any kind in or around amy part of the self-clean oven.
Before self-cleaning the oven, remove broiler pan, oven
racks, and other utensils, and wipe off excessive
spillovers to prevent excessive smoke or flare-ups.
CAUTION: DO NOT LEAVE FOOD Oil COOKING
UTENSILS, ETC., IN THE OVEN DURING THE
SELF-CLEAN CYCLE.
It is normal for the cooktop of the range to become hot
during a self-clean cycle. Therefore, touching the
cooktop during a clean cycle should be avoided.
A fan should be heard during the self-dean cycle. If not,
