WARNING: To reduce risk of tipping of the appliance
from abnormal usage or by excessive loading of the oven
door, the appliance must be secure by a properly installed
anti-tip device.
To check if device is properly installed, remove storage
drawer and look underneath range to make sure one of the
rear leveling tegs 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.
In Case of Fire
Turn off appliance and ventilating hood to avoid spread
ing the flame. Extinguish flame then turn on hood to re
move smoke and odor.
Cooktop: Smother fire or flame
in a pan with a lid or cookie sheet.
NEVER pick up or move a flam
ing pan.
Oven: Smother fire or flame by closing the oven door.
NOTE: In our continuing effort to improve the quality
and performance of our cooking products, it may be
necessary to make changes to the appliance without
revising this guide.
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 se
rious injuries.
If appliance is installed near a window,
proper precautions should be taken to pre
vent curtains from blowing over surface
elements.
NEVER use appliance to warm or heat the
room. Failure to follow this instruction can
lead to possible bums, injury, fire, or dam
age to the appliance.
NEVER wear loose-fitting or hanging gar
ments while using the appliance. Clothing
could catch utensil handles or ignite and
cause bums if garment comes in contact with
hot heating elements.
To ensure proper operation and to avoid damage to the appli
ance or possible injury, do not adjust, service, repair or replace
any part of the appliance unless specifically recommended in
this guide. Refer all other servicing to a qualified technician.
NEVER store or use gasoline or other combustible or flam
mable materials in the oven, near surface units or in the vicin
ity of this appliance as fumes could create a fire hazard or an
explosion.
To prevent grease fires, do not let cooking grease or other flam
mable 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.
Always turn off all controls when cook
ing is completed.
NEVER heat unopened containers on the surface unit or in
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 guide.
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 ele
ment. Proper relationship of pan to ele
ment 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, earth
enware, 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.
This appliance has been tested for safe performance using
conventional cookware. Do not use any devices or acces
sories that are not specifically recommended in this manual.
Do not use eyelid covers, stovetop grills or add-on oven
convection systems. The use of devices or accessories that
are not expressly recommended in this manual can create
serious saftey hazards, result in performance problems, and
reduce the life of the components of this appliance.
Turn pan handle toward center of cooktop,
not out into the room or over another sur
face element. This reduces the risk of bums,
ignition of flammable materials, or spill
age 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.
Glass-Ceramic Cooktop (select models)
NEVER cook on broken cooktop. If cooktop should break,
cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the bro
ken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a
qualified technician immediately.
..
Deep Fat Fryers
Use extreme caution when moving the grease pan or dispos
ing of hot grease. Allow grease to cool before attempting to
move pan.
Clean cooktop with caution. Some cleaners can produce
noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface. If a wet sponge,
cloth, or paper towel is used to wipe spills on a hot cook
ing area, be careful to avoid steam burn.
Safety Instructions (continued)
Oven
Use care when opening door. Let hot air
or steam escape before removing or replac
ing food.
For proper oven operation and perfor
mance, 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.
Self-Cleaning Oven
Clean only parts listed in this guide. Do not clean door gas
ket. The gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be
taken not to rub, damage, or move the gas
ket.
Do not use oven cleaners. No commer
cial oven cleaner or oven liner protective
coating of any kind should be used in or
around any part of the oven.
Before self-cleaning the oven, remove broiler pan, oven racks
and other utensils to prevent excessive smoking, discolora
tion of the oven racks or possible damage to utensils.
Wipe up excessive spillovers, especially greasy spills, be
fore the clean cycle to prevent smoking or flare-ups.
Child Safety
NEVER leave children alone or unsu
pervised 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 in
terest to children in cahinets 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.

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 flambeing foods (such as Cherry
Jubilee) under the hood.
It is normal for the cooktop to become hot during a clean
cycle. Therefore, avoid touching or lifting the cooktop dur
ing a clean cycle.
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 bums. 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 fac
ing the cooktop, oven vent, and surfaces near the vent open
ing, oven door, areas around the door and oven window.

Important Safety Notice and Warning
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforce
ment Act of 1986 (Proposition 65) requires the Governor
of California to publish a list of substances known to the
State of California to cause cancer or reproductive harm,
and requires businesses to warn customers of potential
exposures to such substances.
Users of this appliance are hereby warned that when the
oven is engaged in the self-clean cycle, there may be some
low level exposure to some of the listed substances, in
cluding carbon monoxide. Exposure to these substances
can be minimized by properly venting the oven to the out
doors during the self-clean cycle by opening a window
and/or door in the room where the appliance is located.
