WARNING

To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury to persons, or damage when using the range, follow these basic precautions:

Page v

1. Read all instructions before using the range.

2. Install or locate the range only in accordance with the provided installation instructions. It is recommended that the range be installed by a qualified installer. The range must also be properly connected to a grounded electrical supply.

3. Do not use the range for heating the room. Persons could be burned or injured, or a fire could start.

4. Do not leave children alone or unattended in area where the range is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the range. They could be burned or injured.

5. Do not wear loose or hanging garments when using the range. Clothing could ignite if it touches a surface element and you could be burned.

6. Do not repair or replace any part of the range unless specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.

7. Do not operate the range if it is not working properly, or if it has been damaged or dropped.

8. Clean your range regularly. See “Care and Cleaning” instructions that are included with the range.

9. Use the range only for its intended use as described in this manual.

10. Do not store flammable materials on or near the range. They could explode or burn.

11. Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Smother flaming pan on range by covering with a wellfitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Flaming grease outside of pan can be extinguished with baking soda, or if available, a multipurpose dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

12. Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on surface elements may result in burns from steam. Do not let the potholder touch a surface element. Do not use a towel or bulky cloth for a potholder. It could catch on fire.

13. Make sure the utensils you use are large enough to contain food and avoid boilovers and spillovers. Heavy splattering or spillovers left on a range can ignite and burn you. Pan size is especially important in deep fat frying.

14. Never leave elements unattended at high heat settings. A boilover could result and cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.

15. Grease is flammable and should be handled carefully. Let fat cool before attempting to handle it. Do not allow grease to collect around range or in vents. Wipe spillovers immediately.

16. Check to be sure glass cooking utensils are safe for use on the range. Only certain types of glass, glass-ceramic, earthenware or other glazed utensils are suitable for ranges. Other types may break due to the sudden change in temperature.

- v -

17. Turn pan handles inward, but not over other surface elements. This will help reduce the chance of burns, igniting of flammable materials, and spills due to bumping the pan.

18. Do not heat unopened containers. They could explode. The hot contents could cause burns and container particles could cause injury.

19. Do not use decorative covers or trivets over the surface elements.

21. Do not touch hot surface elements or areas near elements. Areas near surface elements become hot enough to cause burns. During use, do not touch or let clothing or other flammable materials contact surface elements or areas near elements.

22. Do not block the ventilation.

23. Make sure that the elements are turned off when you are finished cooking , and when you are not watching.

20. Do not store things children might want above the range. Children could be burned or injured while climbing on range.

24. Be sure all range parts are cool before cleaning.

GENERAL

If codes permit, and a separate grounding wire is used, it is recommended that a qualified electrician determine that the grounding path is adequate.

The following information applies to the electric range wiring:

• A 3- or 4-wire, single phase, 120/240-volt, 60 Hz, AC-only electrical supply, (or a 3- or 4-wire 120/208-volt, if specified on the model/serial rating plate), is required on a separate 40-ampere circuit, fused on both sides of the line. A timedelay fuse, or circuit breaker, is recommended. The fuse must be sized as per local codes in accordance with the electrical rating of the appliance specified on the model/serial rating plate, which is located behind the storage door on the left side of the oven frame.

• The range must be connected with copper wire only.

• Local codes may permit the use of a U.L.listed, 250-volt, 40-ampere range power supply cord (pigtail). This cord contains three #10 copper wires, and matches a 3-wire receptacle of NEMA-type 10-50R. Connectors on

the appliance end must be provided at the point the power supply cord enters the appliance.

• The range should be connected directly to the fused disconnect (or circuit breaker) through flexible, armored, or nonmetallic sheathed, copper cable. The flexible, armored cable that extends from the appliance should be connected directly to the junction box.

• Locate the junction box to allow as much slack as possible between the junction box and the appliance so that the appliance can be moved if servicing is ever necessary. Do not cut the conduit.

• A U.L.-listed, provided at the junction box.

• Wire sizes (copper wire only) and connections must conform with the rating of the appliance, which is 40-amperes.

• A wiring diagram is located in the “Tech Tips” (Section 5) of this manual.

THERMAL FUSE

THE BAKE FUNCTION

Refer to the illustrations on the next page.

When the unit is plugged in and line voltage is applied to the electronic oven control, the following keyboard actions are used to set the BAKE function:

• The clock is set to the time-of-day.

• The BAKE keypad is selected.

• The BAKE temperature is selected.

When the preceding events occur, the BAKE relay energizes, and its contacts close. This provides an electrical circuit through the BAKE element and the thermal fuse to the neutral side of the line*.

As electrical current flows through the BAKE element, it heats up. The temperature in the oven is regulated by the temperature sensor. If the temperature at the back of the oven exceeds 360˚F, the thermal fuse will open, and terminate the BAKE function.

The BROIL relay will also close to provide top heat during the BAKE cycle. The BROIL relay will cycle on approximately 20% of the bake operation time.

To preheat the oven before a BAKE cycle, the BAKE relay is closed for 100% of the preheat time, and the BROIL relay closes for approximately 40% of the preheat time.
