IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read all instructions before using this appliance.
Save these instructions for future reference.
This guide contains important safety symbols and instructions. Please pay special attention to these symbols and follow all
instructions given. Here is a brief explanation of these symbols.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (continued)
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING
YOUR COOKTOP
• Know which knob controls each surface heating unit.
• Use Proper Pan Size — This appliance is equipped with one or
more surface units of different sizes. Select utensils having flat
bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit. The use of
undersized utensils will expose a portion of the surface heating
unit to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper
relationship of utensil to the surface unit will also improve
efficiency.
• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and Should 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.
• Never Leave Surface Units Unattended — Boilovers cause
smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite, or a pan that has
boiled dry may melt.
• Protective Liners — Do not use aluminum foil to line oven
bottom or any other part of the range. Only use aluminum foil as
recommended for baking if used as a cover placed on the food.
Any other use of protective liners or aluminum foil may result in a
risk of electric shock or fire or a short circuit.
• Glazed Cooking Utensils — Only certain types of glass, glass/
ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for rangetop service without breaking due to the sudden
change in temperature. Check the manufacturer’s recommendations for rangetop use.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING YOUR
OVEN
• Use Care When Opening Door — Stand to the side of the range
when opening the door of a hot oven. Let hot air or steam escape
before you remove or replace food in the oven.
• Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed. The oven is vented
between the cooktop and the backguard. Touching the surfaces
in this area when the oven is operating may cause severe burns.
Also, do not place plastic or heat-sensitive items on or near the
oven vent. These items could melt or ignite.
• Placement of Oven Racks. Always place oven racks in desired
location while oven is cool. Remove all utensils from the rack
before removing rack. If rack must be moved while oven is hot, use
extreme caution. Use potholders and grasp the rack with both
hands to reposition. Do not let potholders contact the hot oven
element or interior of the oven.
• Do not use the broiler pan without its insert. The broiler pan
and grid allow dripping fat to drain and be kept away from the
high heat of the broiler.
• Do not cover the broiler grid with aluminum foil. Exposed fat
and grease could ignite.
• Do not touch a hot light bulb with a damp cloth. Doing so
could cause the bulb to break. Disconnect the range or turn off
the power to the range before removing and replacing light bulb.
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR
CLEANING YOUR RANGE
• Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of grease
that could catch fire. Exhaust fan ventilation hoods and grease
filters should be kept clean. Do not allow grease to accumulate.
Greasy deposits in the fan could catch fire. When flaming food
under the hood turn the fan on. Refer to the hood manufacturer’s
instructions for cleaning.
• Cleaners/Aerosols — Always follow the manufacturer’s recommended directions for use. Be aware that excess residue from
cleaners and aerosols may ignite causing damage and/or injury.
SELF-CLEANING OVENS:
• Clean in the self-cleaning cycle only the parts of the oven
listed in this owner’s guide. Before self-cleaning the oven,
remove the broiler pan and any utensils stored in the oven.
• Do not clean the oven door gasket. Care should be taken not to
rub, damage or move the gasket.
• Do not use oven cleaners. No oven cleaner or oven liner
protective coating of any kind should be used in or around any
part of the oven.
• Remove oven racks. Oven racks colour will change if left in the
oven during a self-cleaning cycle.
The health of some birds is extremely sensitive
to the fumes given off during the self-clean cycle of any range.
Move birds to another well ventilated room.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substances known
to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure
to such substances.

wall).
b. Location—Check location where the range will be installed. Check for proper electrical supply and the stability of floor.
c. Dimensions that are shown must be used. Given dimensions provide minimum clearance. Contact surface must be solid and
level.

not less than 0.015” stainless steel, 0.024” aluminum or 0.020” copper. 1/16” clearance is the minimum for the rear and sides
of the range. Follow all dimension requirements provided above to prevent property damage, Potential fire hazard, and incorrect
countertop and cabinet cuts.
To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching over heated surface units, cabinet storage space located above the
surface units should be avoided. If cabinet storage is to be provided, the risk can be reduced by installing a range hood
that projects horizontally a minimum of 5” beyond the bottom of the cabinets.
Location
Set your new range 1/16” away from the rear wall and line it up with the kitchen counters.
Make sure there is at least 1/16” of clearance between each side of the range and the
kitchen counters. Allow 3” minimum clearance between your range and the refrigerator, if
they are side by side.
Leveling
For good baking results, your range should be level. Screw type leveling legs are provided at
each corner of the range at the base. Remove the storage drawer to adjust the leveling legs.
(Refer to Storage Drawer section).
24” Models
5
Installation Instructions (continued)
To level the range:
1. Use a 1-1/4” open end key or an adjustable wrench to equally unscrew the four leveling legs
two to three turns each.
2. Install an oven rack in the center of the oven.
3. Move the range to its final position, then put a spirit level on the rack to check for levelness.
Take two readings, one with the level placed diagonally first in one direction, and then the
other.
4. Use the 1-1/4” key or wrench to adjust the leveling legs. Turn each one until the range stands
firm without wobbling.
5. Some models are supported by smooth glide rollers to facilitate moving.
If floor is flat and level, open the drawer and lower the front roller locking levers (some
models) to prevent the range from moving.
If floor is not flat or level or if this model has rollers without locking levers, use the 4 leveling
legs to level, support and prevent the range from moving.
Oven Light (some models)
Do not turn the oven light on during the self-cleaning cycle. High
temperature will reduce lamp life.
On some models an interior oven light will turn on automatically when the oven door is
opened.
The oven light may be turned on when the door is closed by using the oven light switch located
on or underneath the control panel.
On a self clean oven the lamp is covered with a glass shield held in place by a wire holder.
THIS GLASS SHIELD MUST BE IN PLACE WHENEVER THE OVEN IS IN USE.
To replace the light bulb:
BE SURE OVEN IS COOL.
1. Turn the power off at the main source.
2. Wear a leather-faced glove for protection against possible broken glass.
3. Replace bulb with a 40 watt appliance bulb only.
4. For self-cleaning oven, press wire holder to one side to release glass shield, change bulb and be sure to replace glass shield.
Surface Light (some models)
Be sure all surface element control knobs are turned off “ ” and
elements are cool.
Use switch located on or underneath the control panel to turn the surface light ON/OFF.
Replace the surface light, if after repeated attempts to turn it on you are not successful.
White-Westinghouse
To remove and replace the fluorescent light:
1. Lift up the control panel cover.
2. Place your fingers on the tube at approximately 8” from each end.
3. To remove, turn the tube 90° then pull it out of its sockets.
4. To replace the tube, engage the new tube into the sockets, then rotate and snap the tube in
place light to make it sure it will lit.
