ANOTETOYOU

You have purchased a quality, world-class electric range. Years of engineering experience have gone into its manufacturing. To

ensure that you will enjoy many years of trouble-free operation, we have developed this Use and Care Guide. It is full of valuable

information on how to operate and maintain your range properly. Please read it carefully.

Also, please complete and mail the Ownership Registration Card provided with your range.

Should you ever require service for your range, you will need to know your appliance's complete model number and serial

number. You can find this information on the model and serial number plate located behind the storage drawer panel, in

view when the storage drawer is open. Also, please record the date the product was purchased/installed and the Builder or

Store's name, address and phone number. Keep this book and the sales slip together in a safe place for

future reference. NOTE: You must provide proof of purchase or installation date for

in-warranty service. Model Number

RANGESAFETY

Your safety and the safety of others are very important.

We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.

This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others. All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word "DANGER" or

This is the safety alert symbol. "WARNING." These words mean:

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately follow instructions.

You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't

follow instructions.

All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.

The range will not tip during normal use. However, the range can tip if you apply too much force or weight to the open door without the anti-tip bracket fastened down properly.

Tip Over Hazard

A child or adult can tip the range and be killed. Connect anti-tip bracket to rear range foot. Reconnect the anti-tip bracket, if the range is moved.

See the installation instructions for details. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious burns to children

and adults.

Anti-Tip Bracket

Range Foot

Making sure the anti-tip bracket is installed:

• Slide range forward.

• Look for the anti-tip bracket securely attached to floor.

• Slide range back so rear range foot is under anti-tip bracket.

iMPORTANT SAFETY iNSTRUCTiONS

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical

shock, injuryto persons, or damage when using the range, follow basic precautions, including the

following:

• WARNING: TOREDUCETHERISKOF

TIPPING OF THE RANGE, THE RANGE MUST BE

SECURED BY PROPERLY INSTALLED ANTI-TIP DEVICES. TO CHECK IF THE DEVICES ARE

INSTALLED PROPERLY, SLIDE RANGE FORWARD, LOOK FOR ANTI-TIP BRACKET SECURELY

ATTACHED TO FLOOR, AND SLIDE RANGE BACK

SO REAR RANGE FOOT IS UNDER ANTI-TIP BRACKET.

• CAUTION: Do not store items of interest to

children in cabinets above a range or on the back- guard of a range - children climbing on the range to

reach items could be seriously injured.

• Proper Installation - Be sure the range is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician.

• Never Use the Range for Warming or Heating the Room.

• Do Not Leave Children Alone - Children should not be left 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.

• Wear Proper Apparel - Loose-fitting or hanging

garments should never be worn while using the

range.

• User Servicing - Do not repair or replace any part of

the range unless specifically recommended in the

manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.

• Storage in or on the Range - Flammable materials should not be stored in an oven or near surface

units.

• Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires - Smother fire or

flame or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

• Use Only Dry Potholders - Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from

steam. Do not let potholder touch hot heating

elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.

• DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR UNITS - Surface units may be hot even

though they are dark in color. Areas near surface

units may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or

other flammable materials contact surface units or areas near units until they have had sufficient time

to cool. Among those areas are the cooktop and

surfaces facing the cooktop.

• Use Proper Pan Size - The range is equipped with one or more surface units of different size. Select

utensils having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating element. The use of under-

sized utensils will expose a portion of the heating element to direct contact and may result in ignition

of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to burner will also improve efficiency.

• Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High Heat Settings - Boilover causes smoking and greasy

spillovers that may ignite.

• Make Sure Reflector Pans or Drip Bowls Are in

Place - Absence of these pans or bowls during

cooking may subject wiring or components under- neath to damage.

• Protective Liners - Do not use aluminum foil to line surface unit drip bowls or oven bottoms, except as

suggested in the manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in a risk of electric shock, or

fire.

• Glazed Cooking Utensils - Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other

glazed utensils are suitable for range-top service without breaking due to the sudden change in

temperature.

• Utensil Handles Should Be Turned Inward and 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,

the handle of a utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and does not extend over

adjacent surface units.

• Do Not Soak Removable Heating Elements -

Heating elements should never be immersed in

water.

• Do Not Cook on Broken Cooktop - If cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may

penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of

electric shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.

• Clean Cooktop With Caution - If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area,

be careful to avoid steam burn. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.

• Use Care When Opening Door - Let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing food.

• Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers - Build-up of pressure may cause container to burst and result

in injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed.

• Placement of Oven Racks - Always place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. If rack

must be moved while oven is hot, do not let potholder contact hot heating element in oven.

• DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF OVEN - Heating

elements may be hot even though they are dark in color. Interior surfaces of an oven become hot

enough to cause burns. During and after use, do

not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact heating elements or interior

surfaces of oven until they have had sufficient time

to cool. Other surfaces of the appliance may

become hot enough to cause burns - among these surfaces are oven vent openings and surfaces near

these openings, oven doors, and windows of oven

doors.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

For self-cleaning ranges -

• Do Not Clean Door Gasket - The door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not

to rub, damage, or move the gasket.

• Do Not Use Oven Cleaners - No commercial oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind

should be used in or around any part of the oven.

• Clean Only Parts Listed in Manual.

• Before Self-Cleaning the Oven - Remove broiler pan and other utensils.

For units with ventilating hood -

Press the BROIL button and press the • button so a temperature between "300°F/149°C '' and "500°F/260°C"

shows on the display. Press the START button.

Lower temperature settings let the broil heating element cycle and slow cooking down. The lower the temperature, the

slower the cooking. NOTE: Fish and chicken are some foods that may cook

better if you use lower broiling temperatures.

Food Poisoning Hazard

Do not let food sit for more than one hour before or after cooking.

Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness.

Use the warming zone element to keep cooked foods warm. It is not recommended for heating cold foods.

The warming zone is located in the center of your cooktop. Set the switch to "ON" for use.

• Cover all foods with a lid or aluminum foil. Do not use plastic wrap to cover food because it may melt onto the cooktop

surface. When warming baked goods, allow a small opening in the cover for moisture to escape.

• Use only cookware and dishes recommended for oven and cooktop use.

• Use potholders or oven mitts to remove food.

• The warming zone element will not glow red when it is on, unlike the surface elements, However the surface indicator

light on the cooktop will glow.

• The warming zone element may be used whether the other elements are in use or not.

The simmer element is identified on the disc in the center of the element. This element can maintain lower temperatures for

preparation of foods which require very low heat like sauces, chocolate or cheese.

You can use the left front surface element as either a small- diameter lower-wattage element, or large-diameter full-wattage

element. The element is controlled by the "Dual/Single" control knob on

the left front of the range console. Push in and turn the control knob to the desired setting in the area marked "Dual" or "Single".

Use both elements for larger pans. Controlled by control knob

area marked "Dual".

Use small element for smaller pans. Controlled by

area marked "Single".

The HOT surface indicator lights on the cooktop surface will glow when their corresponding surface elements are turned on. The HOT surface indicator lights will continue to glow as long as the elements are too hot to touch, even after they are turned off.

NOTE: Heat from the oven vent may cause the left rear HOT surface indicator light to glow to show that the area is too warm to touch. There are five hot surface indicator lights on models equipped with Warming Zone.

The cooktop light is in the top of the control console. The switch is on the control console. Push the switch to turn the light on. The

light may take a few seconds to light up.

You can use the right front surface element as either a large- diameter full-wattage element, or larger-area higher-wattage

element. The element is controlled by the "Dual/Single" control knob on

the right front of the range console. Push in and turn the control knob to the desired setting in the area marked "Dual" or "Single".

Use both elements for larger pans. Controlled by control knob

area marked "Dual".

Use small element for smaller pans. Controlled by

area marked "Single".

Single HOT surface indicator light (on some models)

The HOT surface indicator light on the cooktop surface will glow when any one of the surface elements are turned on. The HOT surface indicator light will glow as long as the elements are too hot to touch, even after they are turned off.

Four or five HOT surface indicator lights (on other models)

The 120v appliance outlets located on the control console may be used to run portable appliances placed on counter tops beside the range.

The outlets operate independently and are not affected by range control settings.

NOTE:

• Do not place appliances on the cooktop. Damage to the appliance could result if the cooktop is hot.

Use flat-bottomed canners on all types of cooktops, especially ceramic glass. Canners with rippled or ridged bottoms do not allow good contact with the surface.

Center the canner over the largest surface cooking area. Do not extend canner more than 1 in. (2.5 cm) outside the

surface cooking area. Large diameter canners/pans, if not centered correctly, can trap heat and result in damage to the

cooktop. Do not place canner on two surface cooking areas at the same time.

The type of material the canner is made of determines the length of heating time. Refer to the "Cookware" section for

more information.

• When canning for long periods of time, allow elements and surrounding surfaces to cool down.

• Alternate use of the surface cooking areas between batches or prepare small batches at a time.

• Start with hot water, cover with a lid, and bring to a boil; then reduce heat to maintain a boil or required pressure levels in a

pressure canner.
