INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE.
Remove all tape and packaging wrap before using the oven. If any glue remains, touch
the residue with the sticky side of the tape already removed. Or, use a cloth soaked with
rubbing alcohol. Use caution because rubbing alcohol is flammable. Rinse with warm
water and wipe dry.
Destroy the carton and plastic bags after the range is unpacked. Children should not
use packaging material for play. Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads, or plastic sheets
can become air-tight chambers. Remove all staples from the carton. Staples can cause
severe cuts and destroy finishes if they come in contact with other appliances or furniture.
Be safety conscious. The preparation of food in an oven requires temperatures that could cause
severe burns. Before using this new appliance, carefully read and follow all instructions.
Users of this appliance are hereby warned there may be some low level exposure to some
of the listed substances including formaldehyde and carbon monoxide. This happens when
the oven, if equipped with a self-clean feature, is engaged in a self-clean cycle. Exposure to
these substances can be minimized by properly venting the oven, especially during the selfcleaning cycle, by opening a window or using a ventilating hood or fan.
Notice: Never keep pet birds in the kitchen. Birds have a very sensitive respiratory system.
Fumes released during the self-cleaning cycle, overheated cooking oil, fat, margarine or
overheated non-stick cookware may be harmful or fatal to birds.
PROPER INSTALLATION: Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded
by a qualified technician in accordance with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA
NO. 70-latest edition and local electrical code requirements. Install only per installation
instructions provided in the literature package for this range. Be sure leveling legs are in place
at the bottom corners of the range. If necessary, raise or lower the leveling legs at the base of
the range by turning clockwise or counterclockwise to insure a level range.
Ask your dealer to recommend a qualified technician and an authorized repair service.
Have the technician label the proper switch or fuse at the electrical disconnect box and
show you how to disconnect the power to the range at the circuit breaker or fuse box in
case of an emergency.
• TO REDUCE THE RISK OF TIPPING OF THE RANGE, THE RANGE MUST BE SECURED

specifically recommended in this owner’s guide. To prevent personal injury and
damage to the range, servicing should be done only by a qualified technician.
Storage in or on appliance: Flammable materials should not be stored in an oven, near

surface elements or in the storage drawer (some models). This includes paper, plastic
and cloth items, such as cookbooks, plasticware and towels, as well as flammable
liquids. Do not use the oven for storage. Do not store explosives, such as aerosol cans,
on or near the range.
Remove the oven door from any unused range if it is to be stored or discarded.

even though they are dark in color. Areas near surface units and interior surfaces of the
appliance may become hot enough to cause burns–these areas include the cooktop,
surfaces facing the cooktop and the oven vent openings, and surface near these
openings, oven doors and windows.

use in the event of a house fire.
Wear proper apparel when operating the range. Loose fitting or hanging garments
•
should never be worn while using the appliance. Do not let clothing or other flammable
materials contact surface elements or interior surfaces of the oven until they have had
sufficient time to cool.
Never modify or alter the construction of the range such as removal of leveling legs,
•
panels, wire covers, anti-tip brackets or any other permanent part of the product.
NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to heat or warm the
•
room. Operating surface elements at the HIGH setting without pots or
pans on the elements, could damage the range and result in fire.

• Stand to the side of the oven when opening the oven door. Slowly open the door to
allow hot air or steam to escape before removing or replacing food.
Keep children from touching the oven door (or glass window, if equipped) when the
•
range is operating as the door (or window) could get hot enough to cause serious burns.
When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Fat or grease may catch fire if allowed
•
to become too hot.
Do not use water or flour on grease fires. Smoother the fire with a pan lid, baking soda
•
or use a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
Use only dry potholders. Wet or damp potholders on hot surfaces could result in burns
•
from steam. Do not let the potholder touch hot heating areas. Do not use a towel or other
bulky cloth instead of a potholder.
Turn utensil handles inward, but not extending over other surface elements. This
•
will minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage due
to accidental contact with the utensil.
Never immerse or soak the removable surface elements in water. Surface elements
•
clean themselves during normal operations or can be wiped with a damp, sudsy cloth
when the elements are off and cool. Be sure the elements are off and cool before
touching them. Even when the elements appear dark in color, they may be hot.
Never leave the range unattended while the surface elements are on. Boilovers may

particular attention to the area underneath each surface element. Exhaust fan ventilating
hoods and grease filters should be clean. Do not allow grease to accumulate. Greasy
deposits in the fan could catch fire. Refer to the hood manufacturer’s instructions for
cleaning.
Always place an oven rack in the desired location while the oven is cool. If a rack

ENERGY-SAVING IDEAS
Surface Cooking
Turn surface elements off before cooking is completed. The units will stay hot long
enough to finish the cooking process.
Use lids when surface cooking. A lid traps steam and uses it to speed up the cooking
process. If you have a pressure cooker or vegetable steamer, use it. You’ll waste fewer
vitamins, save time and cut energy costs.
Use medium-weight, flat bottomed pans that match the sizes of the elements. Pick pans
made of a metal that conducts heat well.
When cooking on a surface element, use as little water as possible to reduce cooking time.
Never use the range to heat the kitchen. Using your range without utensils or pans to
absorb the element's heat risks damaging the surface and the controls.
Oven Cooking
Preheat the oven only when a recipe tells you. Put roasts and casseroles into a cold oven
and then turn the oven on.
Opening the oven door often to check on foods wastes electricity.
Use the oven to prepare complete meals. For instance, start a roast, add vegetables when
the meat is half-cooked, and then warm rolls or dessert after the main dishes are cooked.
Thaw frozen foods before cooking. Thawed food requires less cooking energy than frozen
food.
Make it a habit to turn the oven off before you remove the cooked food from it.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
!
Be sure appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician.
It is the responsibility of the technician to make certain that your range is properly
installed. Situations caused by improper installation are not covered under the warranty.
Any expenses incurred due to such situations will not be paid by the manufacturer of the
appliance.
To reduce the risk of
tipping the appliance by
abnormal usage or
improper door loading, the appliance
must be secured by properly installing
the anti-tip device packed with the
appliance. To check if the device is
installed and engaged properly, carefully
tip the range forward. The Anti-Tip
device should engage and prevent the
range from tipping over.
See instructions packaged with the antitip device. These are packaged within
the oven during shipment of the range.
If this range is removed for any reason,
service or cleaning, etc., it must be
replaced as outlined in the installation
instructions before placing the range
back in operation.
Leveling a Free-Standing Range
All free-standing ranges must be level to
obtain proper cooking results. The
leveling legs should be screwed into the
corner brackets. Place a pan or a
measuring cup partially filled with water
or spirit level on oven rack. Adjust
leveling legs until the range is level. The
top of the side panels should be level
with countertop or work surface.
IMPORTANT: Be sure to keep the leg
levelers. Leveling of the range is ver
important.
