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 nishes if they come in contact with other appliances or furniture.
Be safety conscious. The preparation of food in a n oven requires temper atures that could cause
severe burns. Before using this new appliance, carefully read and follow all instructions.
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of
1986 (Proposition 65) requires the Governor of California to publish a list
of substances known to the State of California to cause cancer or
reproductive harm. In addition, businesses must warn customers of
potential exposure to such substances.
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 i s properly install ed and grounded
by a qualied technician in accordance with the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA
NO. 70-latest edition and local electrical code requirements. Install only per installation
inst ructions provide d in the literat ure package for th is range. Be sure leveling legs a re 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 qualied 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.
The following situations may cause serious bodily harm, death or
property damage.
•
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF TIPPING OF THE RANGE, THE RANGE MUST BE SECURED
BY A PROPERLY INSTALLED ANTI-TIP BRACKET PROVIDED WITH THE RANGE. TO
CHECK IF THE DEVICE IS INSTALLED AND ENGAGED PROPERLY, CAREFULLY TIP
THE R ANGE FORWARD. THE ANTI-TIP DEVICE SHOULD ENGAGE AND PREVENT
THE RANGE FROM TIPPING OVER. REFER TO THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
PACKAGED WITH THE ANTI-TIP BRACKET FOR PROPER ANTI-TIP BR ACKET
INSTALLATION.
A child or adult can tip the range. Verify the anti-tip device has been
properly installed and engaged. Do not operate the range without the anti-tip device.
Failure to do so can result in death or serious burns.
• Never leave children alone or unattended in the area where an appliance is in use.
They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance. Never leave
the oven door open when the range is unattended.

READ THE IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS AND ALL
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 ammable. Rinse with warm
water and wipe dry.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS, Continued
• Do not store items of interest to children in the cabinets above a range or on the
backguard of a range. Children climbing on the range to reach the items could be
seriously injured.
• Do not allow children to climb or play around the range. The weight of a child on an
open oven door may cause the range to tip, resulting in serious burns or other injury.
• USER SERVICING: Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless it is
specically recommended in this owner’s guide. To prevent personal injury and
damage to the range, servicing should be done only by a qualied 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, plastic ware and towels, as well as ammable
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.
• Stepping, leaning or sitting on the doors or drawers of this range can result in
serious injuries and cause damage to the range.
The following situations could cause bodily injury or property
damage.
• DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS, AREAS NEAR THESE UNITS, OVEN
HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF THE OVEN UNTIL
THEY HAVE COOLED. Both surface elements and oven heating elements may be hot
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.
• Make sure the reector pans are always in place under the surface elements. This
avoids possible damage to wiring or components underneath and improves cooking
ef cienc y.
• It’s good practice for each household to have an appropriate re extinguisher for
use in the event of a house re.
• 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 re.
• Wear proper apparel when operating the range. Loose tting or hanging garments
should never be worn while using the appliance. Do not let clothing or other ammable
materials contact surface elements or interior surfaces of the oven until they have had
sufcient time to cool.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
BUILT-IN GAS AND ELECTRIC
SURFACE UNITS (Cooktops)
To eliminate the hazard of reaching over the heated surface units, cabinet
storage space located above the surface units should be avoided. If
cabinet storage is to be provided, the hazard can be reduced by installing a
range hood that projects horizontally a minimum of 5 inches beyond the
bottom of the cabinets.
INSTALLATION
It is the responsibility of your installer 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.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS, Continued
• 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.
• 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 re if allowed
to become too hot.
• Do not use water or our on grease res. Smother the re 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 ammable 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. Boil overs may
cause smoking, greasy spill overs may catch re or a pan which has boiled dry may melt.
• Do not use aluminum foil to line the surface element reector pans
and never cover an entire oven rack with aluminum foil. Improper use
of aluminum foil may result in shock or re hazard. Refer to the Cleaning
section of this manual for more information on the use of aluminum foil.
• Do not use glass, earthenware or other ceramic-type cooking utensils for range top
cooking unless recommended by the utensil manufacturer. Utensils of this type may
break with sudden heat changes; most are designed to be used only in the oven.
• Do not use plastic salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on
top of the range when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels
or wooden spoons could catch re if placed too close to the element.
• Do not place hands between the spring tension hinge and the oven door frame when
you are removing the oven door. You could pinch your ngers.
