LOCATION

l

Put the range near a work surface for convenience.

l

The cooktop should be easy to reach and lighted with
natural light during the day.

l

To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching over
heated surface units, cabinet storage space located
above the surface units should be avoided. If cabinet
storage space is to be provided, the risk can be reduced
by installing a range hood that projects horizontally a
minimum of 5 in. beyond the bottom of the cabinets.

l

See Figures 1 and 2 for all rough-in and spacing dimen­sions These dimensions must be met for safe use of
your range.

l

A wiring junction box must be installed in’ an adjoining
cabinet or under the floor. The junction box must be
located where it will allow considerable slack in the 4 ft.
long range conduit, so that the range can be pulled
forward for servicing if necessary. See next page for
more information.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

MAKE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

We recommend you have the electrical wiring and hookupof
your range done by a qualified electrician. After installation,
have the electrician show you where your main range
disconnect is located.

Check with your local utilities for electrical codes which apply
in your area. Failure to wire you range according to govern­ing codes could result in a hazardous condition. If there are
no local codes, you range must be wired and fused to meet
the requirements of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/
NFPA No. 70-1987. You can get a copy by writing:

National Fire Protection Association

Batterymarch Park

Quincy, MA 02269

You must use a three-wire, single-phase A.C. 208Y/120Volt

or 120/240 Volt, 60 Hertz electrical system. If you connect
to aluminum wiring, properly installed connections approved
for use with aluminum wiring must be used.

In the absence of local codes, we recommend that a mini­mum wire size of No. 8 copper wire and a 40 amp fuse or
circuit breaker be used, on both 208Y/120 Volt and 1201240
Volt systems.

PREPARE THE COUNTER

Install base cabinets 30” apart, and be sure they are
plumb and level before attaching the countertop.

Lay out the cutout opening on the countertop per Fig. 1.
(Countertopcutout shown in Fig. 1. assumes a standard

installation in a 25” deep counter with a standard 1 -l/4”
overhang.) If theoverhang is less than 1 -l/4”, the range
front side trims and control panel end caps will extend
into the 30” cutout. If the overhang is greater than

l-1/4”, a gap between the cabinet face and the range
front side trims will exist. A moulding may be fitted to
provide a more custom appearance. Before cutting,
check for dimension marked min. (Fig. 1). If these
dimensions are not met, the product can be moved
forward on the countertop until minimum dimensions are
met. (Decreasethecutoutdimensions22-13/16”&1-l/
8” by the amount of the forward movement.) This will
make the end caps extend forward in front of the

countertop and may create a gap between the range

front trims and the cabinet face. If this occurs, fit
mouldingas above. If it is not flat at the backof the notch,

the raised area must be filed or cut away to fit.

Make cutout. If the countertop is not 1 -l/2” thick, install
reinforcing braces under the countertop as shown on

page 1.

Install the wiring junction box in an adjoining cabinet or

underthefloor. Cut 1-1/2”dia. hole to bringthe electrical

cable from the range to the junction box.

box must be located so that there will be enough slack
in the connected cable to allow the range to be pulled

forward several inches for service if necessary.

The junction

1. De-energize range branch circuit.

2. With range in front of opening, push flexible electrical
cable through hole in floor or adjacent base cabinet and
attach it to the junction box. Do not shorten this cable.
The flexible cable connector must be securely attached
to the junction box and the flexible cable must be
securely attached to the connector. If the flexible cable
will not fit within the connector, do not install the range
until a connector of the proper size is obtained.

When connecting to a 3-conductor branch circuit, if
local codes permit, connect the white and bare

ground connector leads of the range to the branch
circuit neutral (white or gray in color), the range red
lead to the branch circuit red lead and the range black
lead to the branch circuit black lead in accordance
with local codes.

Special Grounding Instructions

.

When connecting to a 4-conductor branch circuit.

.

When installing range in a mobile home.

.

When local codes do not permit grounding through
neutral.

1.

Attach the appliance grounding lead (green or bare
copper) to the residence grounding conductor (green or
bare) in accordance with local codes. If the residence
grounding conductor is aluminum, see “WARNING”
note below.

2.

Connect the range neutral (white) lead to the branch
circuit neutral (white or gray) in accordance with local
codes.

3.

Connect the range red lead to the branch circuit red lead
and the range black lead to the branch circuit black lead

in accordance with local codes. If the residence red and
black leads are aluminum conductors, see “WARNING”
note below.

NOTE TO ELECTRICIAN: The three power leads supplied
with this appliance are U-L. recognized for connection to
larger gauge household wiring. The insulation of these three
leads is rated at temperatures much higher than the tem­perature rating of household wiring. The current carrying
capacity of a conductor is governed by the temperature
rating of the insulation around the wire rather than the wire
gauge alone.

WARNING: IMPROPER CONNECTION OF ALUMINUM
HOUSE WIRING TO THESE COPPER LEADS CAN RE­SULT IN A SERIOUS PROBLEM. USE ONLY CONNEC­TORS DESIGNED FOR JOINING COPPER TO ALUMI­NUM AND FOLLOW THE MANUFACTURER’S RECOM­MENDED PROCEDURE CLOSELY.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Keep this book for later use.
Be sure your range is installed and grounded

properly.
Choose pots and pans with flat bottoms, large

enough to cover the entire cooktop element. This
will cut down the risk of setting pot holders or
clothing on fire with an uncovered element and
waste less energy.

Always use care when touching cooktop ele­ments, areas near cooktop elements, 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.

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.

Always change oven rack positions while oven is
cool.

After broiling, alwaystake 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.

Always use dry pot holders when removing pans
from the oven or cooktop. Moist or damp pot
holders 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.

Never try to repair or replace any part of the range
unless instructions are given in this book.
work should be done by a skilled technician.

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 a

deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat has cooled.
Never put removable heating elements in water.
Never use the cooktop without reflector pans or

drip bowls being in place. If these pans or bowls
are not there during cooking, wiring or other range
parts may be damaged.

baklng soda on the flre. Do not put water
on the flre.

POSITIONING BROILER PAN

Broiling is cooking by direct heat from the broil element.
Tender cuts of meat or marinated meat should be selected
for broiling. For best results steaks should be at least 3/4”
thick.

After placing food on the broiler pan, put the pan
rack in the proper position. The recommended rack position
and cooking time can be found in the chart below

The closer the food is to the broil element, the faster the meat
browns on the outside, yet stays red to pink in the center.
Moving the meat farther away from the element letsthe meat
cook to the center while browning outside. Side one should
be cooked 1 - 2 minutes longer than side two.

Total Time

Your oven door should be open to the broil stop
posltlon while broiling. If the door Is closed, the food

will roast and not broil.

Use only the broiler pan and grid that came with your
range for broiling. They are designed for proper drainage

of fat and liquids and help prevent spatter, smoke or fire.

Do not preheat when brolllng. For even broiling on both
sides, start the food on a cold pan.

When broiling frozen meat, use one rack position lower
than recommended and up to 1 l/2 times the suggested
broiling time.

Trim the outer layer of fat from steaks and chops. Slit the
fatty edges to keep the meat from curling.

For maximum juiciness, salt the first side just before

turning the meat. Salt the second side just before serving.

Brush chicken and fish with butter several times as they
broil. When broiling fish, grease the grid to keep it from
sticking and broil with skin side down. It is not necessary
to turn fish.

Never leave a solled broiler pan In the range. Grease
in the pan may smoke or burn the next time the oven is
use.

Be sure you know the correct procedure for putting
out a grease flre. See the section on safety.

-l/2

- 2” of air space

Let the oven preheat thoroughly before cooking baked

products. Allow 10 - 15 minutes preheat time.
Avoid opening the door too often to check the food

during baking as heat will be lost. This may result in poor
baking results.

Cakes, cookies, muffins, and quick breads should be
baked in shiny pans - to reflect the heat - because
they should have a light golden crust. Yeast breads and
pie crusts should be baked in glass or dull (non-shiny)
pans -to absorb the heat-because they should have
a brown, crisp crust.

.

Pans too close to each other, to oven walls or to the oven
bottom, block the free movement of air. Improper air
movement causes uneven browning and cooking.

The Self-Clean Cycle

BEFORE A CLEAN CYCLE

1. Remove the broil pan and grid, oven racks, all utensils and
anyfoilthat maybeintheoven. Donottrytocleanutensils
or any other objects in the oven during a self-clean cycle.
If oven racks are left in the range during a clean cycle, they
will darken, lose their luster and become hard to slide. If
you choose to leave the racks in the oven, you can polish
the edges of the racks with steel wool and apply a small
amount of vegetable oil to the rack edges after the self­clean cycle. This will make the racks easier to slide.

2. Soil on the oven front frame, under the front edge of the
cooktop, the door liner outside the door seal and the front
edge of the oven cavity (about 1” into the oven) will not be
cleaned during a clean cycle (see illustration below).
Clean these areas by hand before starting a clean cycle.

tise hot waterwith a soap-filled steel wool pad, then rinse

well

FRONT FRAME

-~~~... J- -

4. Clean the door seal by using a clean sponge to soak the
soiled area with hydrogen peroxide. Repeated soaking
may be needed depending on the amount of soil. Frequent
cleaning wi!l help prevent excessive soil build up. Do not
rub the door seal. The fiberglass material of the seal has
an extremely low resistance to abrasion. An intact and

well fitting oven door seal is essential for energy efficient

oven operation and good baking results. If you notice the
seal becoming worn, frayed or damaged in any way or if
it has become displaced on the door, you should replace

After a clean cycle, you may notice some white ash in the
oven. Just wipe it up with a damp cloth.

If white spots remain, remove them with a soap-filled steel
wool pad. Be sure to rinse thoroughly with a vinegar and
water mixture. These deposits are usually a salt residue that
cannot be removed by the clean cycle.

If the oven is not clean after one clean cycle, the cycle may
be repeated.
