For Freestanding Ranges
To check if the bracket is installed and engaged
properly, look underneath the range to see that
the anti-tip arm attached to the side panel is engaged in the bracket. On some models, the storage drawer or kick panel can be removed for
easier inspection. If visual inspection is not possible, slide the range forward, confirm the anti-tip
bracket is securely attached to the floor or wall,
and slide the range back so the antitip arm slides
just under the anti-tip bracket. If the range is
pulled from the wall for any reason, always repeat
this procedure to verify the range is properly secured by the anti-tip bracket.

Safety Instructions
Instructions
Operating
• Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while using the appliance. Be careful
when reaching for items stored over the
range. Flammable material could be ignited if brought in contact with hot surface
units or heating elements and may cause
severe burns.
• Use only dry pot holders-moist or damp pot
holders on hot surfaces may result in burns
from steam. Do not let pot holders touch
hot surface units or heating elements. Do
not use a towel or other bulky cloth.
• For your safety never use your appliance
for warming or heating the room.
• Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate in or near the
range.
• Do not use water on grease fires. Never
pick up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off.
Smother a flaming pan on a surface unit by
covering the pan completely with a well fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Use a multipurpose dry chemical or foam-type fire
extinguisher.
Flaming grease outside a pan can be put
out by covering it with baking soda or, if
available, by using a multipurpose dry
chemical or foam type fire extinguisher.
Flame in the oven can be smothered completely by closing the door and turning the
oven off or by using a multipurpose dry
chemical or foam type fire extinguisher.
• Do not touch the surface units, the heating
elements or the interior surface of the oven.
These surfaces may be hot enough to burn
even though they are dark in color. During
and after use, do not touch or let clothing
or other flammable materials contact the
surface units, areas nearby the surface units
or any interior area of the oven; allow sufficient time for cooling first.
Potentially hot surfaces include the cooktop, areas facing the cooktop, oven vent
opening, surfaces near the opening, crevices around the oven door and metal trim
parts above the door.
REMEMBER: The inside surface of the oven
may be hot when the door is opened.

SURFACE UNITS-ALL MODELS
Use proper pan size-select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface
unit heating element. The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of the surface
unit to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of cookware
to surface unit will also improve efficiency.
Installation
Instructions
• Never leave the surface units unattended
• Stand away from the range when opening
the oven door. Hot air or steam which escapes can cause burns to hands, face
and/or eyes.
• Do not heat unopened food containers.
Pressure could build up and the container
could burst, causing an injury. Keep the
oven vent unobstructed.
• Keep the oven free from grease buildup.
• Place the oven shelf in the desired position
while the oven is cool. If shelves must be
handled when hot, do not let pot holder
contact the heating elements.
• Pulling out the shelf to the stop-lock is a
convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also
a precaution against burns from touching
hot surfaces of the door or oven walls.
WARNING

• Use little fat for effective shallow or deep
fat frying. Filling the pan too full of fat can
cause spillovers when food is added.
• If a combination of oils or fats will be used
in frying, stir together before heating, as
fats melt slowly.
• Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it
heats.
• Use a deep fat thermometer whenever
possible to prevent overheating fat beyond
the smoking point.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING!
RADIANT SURFACE UNITS (on some models)
Use care when touching the cooktop. The glass surface of the cooktop will retain heat after the controls have been turned off.
Safety Instructions
• Avoid scratching the glass cooktop. The cooktop can be scratched with items such as sharp
instruments, rings or other jewelry and rivets on
clothing.
• Large scratches or impacts to glass doors or
cooktops can lead to broken or shattered glass.
• Do not operate the radiant surface units if the
glass is broken. Spillovers or cleaning solution
may penetrate a broken cooktop and create a
risk of electrical shock. Contact a qualified
technician immediately should your glass cooktop become broken.
• Never use glass cooktop surface as a cutting
board.
• Do not place or store items that can melt or
catch fire on the glass cooktop, even when it is
not being used.
• Be careful when placing spoons or other stirring
utensils on the glass cooktop surface when it is
in use. They may become hot and could cause
burns.
• Clean the cooktop with caution. If a wet
sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot
surface unit, be careful to avoid steam burns.
Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if
applied to a hot surface.
NOTE: We recommend that you avoid wiping
any surface unit areas until they have cooled
and the indicator light has gone off. Sugar spills
are the exception to this. Please see Cleaning
the glass cooktop section.
• When the cooktop is cool, use only the recommended cleaning cream to clean the cooktop.
• To avoid possible damage to the cooking surface, do not apply cleaning cream to the glass
surface when it is hot.
• After cleaning, use a dry cloth or paper towel to
remove all cleaning cream residue.
• Read and follow all instructions and warnings on
the cleaning cream labels.
• Do not lift the cooktop. Lifting the cooktop can
lead to damage and improper operation of the
range.

2. Turn either clockwise or counterclockwise to desired heat setting.
Control must be pushed in to set only from
the OFF position.
In a quiet kitchen, you may hear slight
clicking sounds during cooking, indicating
heat settings selected are being maintained.
Switching heats to higher settings always
shows a quicker change in temperature
than switching to lower settings.
When control is in any position other than

MAX - Quick start for cooking; bring water
to boil.
MEDIUM HIGH - Fast fry, pan broil; maintain
fast boil on large amount of food.
MED - Sauce and brown; maintain slow
boil on large amount of food.
MEDIUM LOW - Cereal; maintain serving
temperature of most foods.
MIN - Cook after starting at HI; cook with
little water in covered pan. Use to steam
rice.
Cooking Tips
Use medium- or heavyweight cookware.
Aluminum cookware conducts heat faster
than other metals. Cast-iron and coated
cast-iron cookware is slow to absorb heat,
but generally cooks evenly at low or medium heat settings. Steel pans may cook
unevenly if not combined with other metals.
Do not overfill cookware with fat that may
spill over when adding food. Frosty foods
bubble vigorously. Watch foods frying at
high temperatures. Keep range and hood
clean from accumulated grease.
NOTES:
1. At MAX or MEDIUM HIGH, never leave
food unattended. Boilovers cause smoking; greasy spillovers may catch fire.
2. At MIN, melt chocolate, butter on small
unit.
To conserve the most cooking energy,
pans should be flat on the bottom, have
straight sides and tight-fitting lids. Match
the size of the saucepan to the size of the
surface unit. A pan that extends more than
an inch beyond the edge of the drip pan
traps heat, which causes "crazing" (fine
hairline cracks) on porcelain, and discoloration ranging from blue to dark gray on
chrome drip pans.

Even after the surface units are turned off,
the glass cooktop retains enough heat to
continue cooking. To avoid overcooking,
remove pans from the surface units when
the food is cooked. Avoid placing anything on the surface unit until it has cooled
completely.
Do not slide cookware across the cooktop
because it can scratch the glass - the
glass is scratch resistant, not scratch proof.
(on some models)
• Water stains (mineral deposits) are removable using the cleaning cream or
full-strength white vinegar.
• Use of window cleaner may leave an iridescent film on the cooktop. The cleaning cream will remove this discoloration.

Instructions
Care and Cleaning
Pans with rounded, curved,
ridged or warped bottoms are
not recommended.
Stainless Steel:
recommended
Aluminum:
heavy weight recommended.
Good conductivity. Aluminum residues
sometimes appear as scratches on the
cooktop, but can be removed if cleaned
immediately. Because of its low melting
point, thin-weight aluminum should not be
used.
Copper Bottom:
recommended
Copper may leave residues which can appear as scratches. The residues can be removed, as long as the cooktop is cleaned
immediately. However, do not let these
pots boil dry. Overheated metal can bond
to glass cooktops. An overheated copper
bottom pot will leave a residue that will
permanently stain the cooktop if not removed immediately.
Porcelain Enamel Covered Cast Iron:
recommended
As long as the cookware is covered completely with porcelain enamel, this cookware is recommended. Caution is recommended for cast-iron cookware that is not
completely covered with smooth porcelain enamel, as it may scratch the glassceramic cooktop.
Glass-ceramic:
usable, but not recommended
Poor performance. May scratch the sur-

Surface Cookware Tips
Use medium- or heavy-weight cookware.
Aluminum cookware conducts heat faster
than other metals. Cast-iron and coated
cast-iron cookware are slow to absorb
heat, but generally cook evenly at low to
medium heat settings. Steel pans may
cook unevenly if not combined with other
metals.
Wok Cooking
We recommend that you use only a flat-
bottomed wok.
They are available at your local retail store.
Do not use woks that have support rings.
Use of these types of woks, with or without
the ring in place, can be dangerous.
For best cooking results, pans should be
flat on the bottom. Match the size of the
saucepan to the size of the surface unit.
The pan should not extend over the edge
of the surface unit than 1 inch.
Placing the ring over the surface unit will
cause a buildup of heat that will damage
the porcelain cooktop. Do not try to use
such woks without the ring. You could be
seriously burned if the wok tips over.
Oven Temperature Knob (on some models)
Turn this knob to the setting you want.
The oven cycling light glows until the oven
reaches your selected temperature, then
goes off and on with the oven element(s)
during cooking.
Before you begin...
To avoid possible burns, place the shelves
in the desired position before you turn the
oven on.
The shelves have stop-locks, so that when
placed correctly on the shelf supports (A
through D), they will stop before coming
completely out, and will not tilt.
When placing and removing cookware,
pull the shelf out to the bump on the shelf
support.
To remove a shelf, pull it toward you, tilt
the front end up and pull it out.
To replace, place the end of the shelf
(stop-locks) on the support, tilt up the front
and push the shelf in.
NOTE: The shelf is not designed to slide out
at the special low shelf (R) position.
Safety Instructions

Oven shelf positions
The oven has four shelf supports—A (bottom), B, C and D (top).
Preheating and Pan Placement
Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it.
To preheat, set the oven at the correct
temperature. Preheating is necessary for
good results when baking cakes, cookies,
pastry and breads.
For ovens without a preheat indicator light
or tone, preheat 10 minutes.
Aluminum Foil
Do not use aluminum foil on the bottom of
the oven.
Never entirely cover a shelf with aluminum
foil. This will disturb the heat circulation
and result in poor baking.
A smaller sheet of foil may be used to
catch a spillover by placing it on a lower
shelf several inches below the food.
Baking results will be better if baking pans
are centered in the oven as much as possible. Pan should not touch each other or
the walls of the oven. If you need to use
two shelves, stagger the pans so one is not
directly above the other, and leave approximately 1 ½" between pans, from the
front, back and sides of the wall.

Adjust the oven thermostat – Easy to do yourself!
You may find that your new oven cooks differently that the one it replaced. Use your new oven for a few weeks to become more familiar with it. If you still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the thermostat yourself.
Do not use thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of your oven. These
thermometers may vary 20-40°F.
NOTE: This adjustment will not affect the broiling or the self-cleaning temperatures (on some models). The adjustment
will be retained in memory after a power failure.

Most recipes for baking have been developed using high fat products such as butter or margarine (80% fat), If you decrease
the fat, the recipe may not give the same
results as with a higher fat product.
Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies,
pastries, cookies or candies are made with
low fat spreads. The lower the fat content
of a spread product, the more noticeable
these differences become.
Each notch changes the temperature
by 10°F.
4. Tighten the screws.
5. Replace the knob matching the flat
area of the knob to the shaft.
Federal standards require products labeled "margarine" to contain at least 80%
fat by weight. Low-fat spreads, on the
other hand, contain less fat and more water. The high moisture content of these
spreads affects the texture and flavor of
baked goods. For best results with your old
favorite recipes, use margarine, butter or
stick spreads containing at least 70% vegetable oil.
