RANGESAFETY
Your safety and the safety of others are very important.
We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety
messages.
This is the safety alert symbol. This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.
All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word "DANGER" or "WARNING."
These words mean:
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately
follow instructions.
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow instructions.
All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.
The range will not tip during normal use. However, the range can tip if you apply too much force or weight to the open door without having the anti-tip bracket fastened down properly.
Anti-Tip Bracket
Range Foot
Tip Over Hazard
A child or adult can tip the range and be killed. Connect anti-tip bracket to rear range foot. Reconnect the anti-tip bracket, if the range is moved. See the installation instructions for details. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious burns to children and adults.
Making sure the anti-tip bracket is installed:
• Slide range forward.
• Look for the anti-tip bracket securely attached to floor.
• Slide range back so rear range foot is under anti-tip bracket.
iMPORTANT SAFETY iNSTRUCTiONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock,
injury to persons, or damage when using the range, follow basic precautions, including the following:
[] WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF TIPPING OF
THE RANGE, THE RANGE MUST BE SECURED BY
PROPERLY INSTALLED ANTI-TIP DEVICES. TO CHECK IF THE DEVICES ARE INSTALLED PROPERLY, SLIDE
RANGE FORWARD, LOOK FOR ANTI-TIP BRACKET SECURELY ATTACHED TO FLOOR, AND SLIDE RANGE BACK SO REAR RANGE FOOT IS UNDER ANTI-TIP BRACKET.
[] CAUTION: Do not store items of interest to children in
cabinets above a range or on the backguard of a range - children climbing on the range to reach items could be
seriously injured.
[] Proper Installation - Be sure the range is properly installed
and grounded by a qualified technician.
[] Never Use the Range for Warming or Heating the Room. [] Do Not Leave Children Alone - Children should not be left
alone or unattended in area where the range is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of
the range.
[] Wear Proper Apparel - Loose-fitting or hanging garments
should never be worn while using the range.
[] User Servicing - Do not repair or replace any part of the
range unless specifically recommended in the manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.
[] Storage in or on the Range - Flammable materials should
not be stored in an oven or near surface units.
[] Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires - Smother fire or flame
or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
[] Use Only Dry Potholders - Moist or damp potholders on
hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel
or other bulky cloth.
[] DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR
UNITS - Surface units may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near surface units may become hot
enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact surface units or areas near units until they have had sufficient time
to cool. Among those areas are the cooktop and surfaces facing the cooktop.
[] Use Proper Pan Size - The range is equipped with one or
more surface units of different size. Select utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating element. The use of undersized utensils will expose a
portion of the heating element to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to burner will also improve efficiency.
[] Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High Heat
Settings - Boilover causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.
[] Make Sure Reflector Pans or Drip Bowls Are in Place -
Absence of these pans or bowls during cooking may subject wiring or components underneath to damage.
[] Protective Liners - Do not use aluminum foil to line surface
unit drip bowls or oven bottoms, except as suggested in
the manual. Improper installation of these liners may result
in a risk of electric shock, or fire.
[] Glazed Cooking Utensils - Only certain types of glass,
glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for range-top service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.
[] Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Not Extend
Over Adjacent Surface Units - To reduce the risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of a
utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over adjacent surface units.
[] Do Not Soak Removable Heating Elements - Heating
elements should never be immersed in water.
[] Do Not Cook on Broken Cooktop - If cooktop should
break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Contact
a qualified technician immediately.
[] Clean Cooktop With Caution - If a wet sponge or cloth is
used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burn. Some cleaners can produce noxious
fumes if applied to a hot surface.
[] Use Care When Opening Door - Let hot air or steam
escape before removing or replacing food.
[] Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers - Build-up of
pressure may cause container to burst and result in injury.
[] Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed. [] Placement of Oven Racks - Always place oven racks in
desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved
while oven is hot, do not let potholder contact hot heating
element in oven.
[] DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR
SURFACES OF OVEN - Heating elements may be hot even
though they are dark in color. Interior surfaces of an oven
become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use,
do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact heating elements or interiorsurfaces of oven until they have had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the
appliance may become hot enough to cause burns - among these surfaces are oven vent openings and surfaces near
these openings, oven doors, and windows of oven doors.
For self-cleaning ranges - [] 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 - 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. [] Before Self-Cleaning the Oven - Remove broiler pan and
other utensils.
For units with ventilating hood - [] Clean Ventilating Hoods Frequently - Grease should not
be allowed to accumulate on hood or filter.
[] When flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan on.

Fire Hazard
Turn off all controls when done cooking.
Failure to do so can result in death or fire.
The control knobs can be set to anywhere between HI and LO. Push in and turn to setting. The surface cooking area Iocator shows which element is turned on. Use the following chart as a guide when setting heat levels.
SETTING RECOMMENDED USE
Coil elements should be level for optimal cooking results. Burner bowls, when clean, reflect heat back to the cookware. They also help catch spills.
Cookware should not extend more than 1/2"(1.3 cm) over the coil element. If cookware is uneven or too large, it can produce excess heat, causing the burner bowl to change color. For more information, see the "General Cleaning" section.
NOTE: Before removing or replacing coil elements and burner bowls, make sure they are cool and the control knobs are in the Off position.
To Remove:
1. Push in the edge of coil element toward the receptacle. Then lift it enough to clear the burner bowl.

• Do not place canner on 2 elements at the same time.
• For more information, contact your local agricultural department. Companies that manufacture home canning products can also offer assistance,
IMPORTANT: Do not leave empty cookware on a hot surface cooking area, element or surface burner.
thickness. Rough finishes may scratch the cooktop. Aluminum and copper
may be used as a core or base in cookware. However, when used as a base they can leave permanent marks on the cooktop or grates.
Cookware material is a factor in how quickly and evenly heat is transferred, which affects cooking results. A nonstick finish has the same characteristics as its base material. For example,
aluminum cookware with a nonstick finish will take on the properties of aluminum.
Use the following chart as a guide for cookware material characteristics.
COOKWARE CHARACTERISTICS
Aluminum • Heats quickly and evenly.
• Suitable for all types of cooking.
• Medium or heavy thickness is best for most cooking tasks,
Cast iron • Heats slowly and evenly.
• Good for browning and frying.
• Maintains heat for slow cooking.
Ceramic or • Follow manufacturer's instructions. Ceramic glass • Heats slowly, but unevenly.
• Ideal results on low to medium heat settings.

OVEN USE
Odors and smoke are normal when the oven is used the first few times, or when it is heavily soiled.
IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off. Exposure to the fumes may result in death to certain birds. Always move birds to another closed and well-
ventilated room.
IMPORTANT: Do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil, liners or cookware because permanent damage will occur to the
oven bottom finish.
• Do not cover entire rack with foil because air must be able to move freely for best cooking results.
• To catch spills, place foil on rack below dish. Make sure foil is at least 1/2"(1.3 cm) larger than the dish and that it is turned up at the edges.
IMPORTANT: Do not place food or bakeware directly on the oven door or bottom. Permanent damage will occur to the porcelain
finish. RACKS NOTES:
• Position racks before turning on the oven.
• Do not move racks with bakeware on them.
• Make sure racks are level.
