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.

• 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

VENTILATING HOODS
Clean Ventilating Hoods Frequently
Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on hood or filter. When flaming foods under
hood, turn hood fans on.
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.

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.
