WARNING - TIP OVER HAZARD
• A child or adult can tip the appliance and be killed.
• Verify the anti-tip bracket has been properly installed and engaged to the floor or wall.
• Ensure the anti-tip bracket is re-engaged when the range is moved by sliding the anti-tip
arm under the bracket.
• Do not operate the range without the anti-tip bracket in place and engaged.
• Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious burns to children or adults.
To check if the bracket is installed and engaged properly, look underneath the range to see that the anti-tip
arm attached to the right side panel is engaged on the bracket. On some models, the storage drawer or
kick panel can be removed for easier inspection.
If visual inspection is not possible, slide the range forward, confirm the anti-tip bracket is securely attached
to the floor or wall and slide the range back so the anti-tip arm slides under the anti-tip bracket. If the
range is pulled from the wall for any reason, always repeat this procedure to verify that the range is
properly secured by the anti-tip bracket.

GENERAL SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
Ensure the appliance is properly installed and
grounded by a qualified technician.
Never use the appliance for warming or heating the
room.
Children should not be left alone or unattended in
the area where the appliance is in use. Children
should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part
of the appliance.
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.
Loose fitting or hanging garments should never be
worn while using the appliance.
Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance
unless specifically recommended in the manual. All
other servicing should be referred to a qualified
technician.
Flammable materials should not be stored in or near
the appliance.
Do not use water on grease fires. Smother fire
or flame or use dry chemical or foam-type
extinguisher.
Use only dry pot holders. Moist or damp pot holders
on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do
not let the pot holder touch hot heating elements. Do
not use a towel or other bulky cloth.
If power is lost to an electric cooktop while a surface
element is ON, the surface element will turn back on
as soon as power is restored. In the event of power
loss, failure to turn all surface element knobs to the
OFF position may result in ignition of items on or
near the cooktop, leading to serious injury or death.
To avoid the possibility of a burn or an electric
shock, always be certain that the controls for all
surface elements are at the OFF position, and that
all coils are cool before attempting to lift or remove
a coil cooking element.
COOK TOP SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
Use the proper pan size. This appliance is equipped
with four burners of different sizes. Select utensils
that have flat bottoms large enough to cover
the surface of the heating element. The use of
undersized 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 the appliance unattended while in use.
Boil over causes smoking and greasy spills can
ignite.
Never leave oil unattended while frying. If allowed
to heat beyond its smoking point, oil may ignite
resulting in fire that may spread to surrounding
cabinets. Use a deep fat thermometer whenever
possible to monitor oil temperature.
To avoid oil spillover and fire, use a minimum
amount of oil when shallow pan-frying and avoid
cooking frozen foods with excessive amounts of ice.
Ensure that reflector pans or drip bowls are in
place. Absence of these pans or bowls during
cooking may subject wiring or components
underneath to damage.
Do not use aluminum foil to line 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.
Only certain types of glass, ceramic, earthenware
or other glazed utensils are suitable for range top
service without breaking due to sudden change in
temperature.
To reduce risk of burns, ignition of flammable
materials and spillage due to unintentional contact,
the handle of a utensil should be positioned so
that it is turned inward and does not extend over
adjacent burners.
Removable heating elements should never be
immersed in water.

Important Safety Information
READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
WARNING - IN CASE OF FIRE
In the event of a fire, never pick up a flaming pot
or pan. Turn the burner off if it is safe to do so.
Extinguish the fire with a dry chemical or foam-type
extinguisher.
Do not use water on grease fires. Water will spread
the grease and will not extinguish the fire. Smother
the fire with a tight fitting pot lid, cookie sheet or flat
tray or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
If there is a fire in the oven during baking, smother
the fire by closing the oven door and turning
the oven off or use dry chemical or foam-type
extinguisher.
OVEN SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
Use care when opening the door. Allow hot air or
steam to escape before removing or replacing food.
Do not heat unopened food containers. Build up of
pressure may cause the container to burst and result
in injury.
Keep oven vents unobstructed.
Always place oven racks in the desired location
while the oven is cool. If the rack must be moved
while the oven is hot, do not let the pot holder
contact the hot heating element in the oven.
Pull the oven rack to the stop-lock position when
loading and unloading food from the oven. This
helps prevent burns from touching hot surfaces of
the door and oven walls.
Do not use the oven if a heating element develops
a glowing spot during use or shows other signs
of damage. A glowing spot indicates the heating
element may fail and present a potential burn, fire,
or shock hazard. Turn the oven off immediately and
have the heating element replaced by a qualified
service technician.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of burns, do not move this
appliance while it is hot. To reduce the risk of
injury due to tipping of the appliance, verify
the re-installation of this appliance into the anti-
tipping device provided and lock the casters after
returning the appliance to the original installed
position.
DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR
AREAS NEAR THEM
Heating elements on the surface or in the interior
of the appliance may be hot even though they are
dark in colour. Areas near the heating elements
may become hot enough to cause burns. During
and after use do not touch or let clothing or other
flammable materials contact the heating elements
or areas near them until they have had sufficient
time to cool. Surfaces of the appliance may
become hot enough to cause burns, among them
are the oven vent openings and surfaces near
these openings, oven doors and oven windows.

PREPARE THE OPENING
All rough-in and spacing dimensions must be met
for safe use of the appliance. Electricity to the range
can be disconnected at the outlet without moving the
range by removing the lower drawer if the outlet is
in the preferred location.
To reduce the risk of burns or fire when reaching
over hot surface elements, cabinet storage space
above the cooktop should be avoided. If cabinetry
is present above the range, risk can be reduced
by installing a range hood that sticks out at least 5
inches beyond the front of the cabinets. Cabinets
installed above a cook top must be no deeper than
13 inches.
Make sure the cabinets and wall coverings around
the range can withstand temperatures generated by
the range.
Allow 2 inches of space from the range to the
adjacent vertical walls above the cooktop surface.
Allow 30 inches minimum clearance between the
surface elements and the bottom of unprotected
wood or metal top cabinets and 15 inches minimum
between the counter top and the adjacent cabinet
bottom.
The range is heavy and can settle into soft floor
coverings such as vinyl or carpeting. When
installing the range on this type of flooring, it should
be installed on a 1/4 inch thick sheet of plywood or
similar material.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
This appliance must be supplied with the proper
voltage and frequency, and connected to an
individual properly grounded branch circuit,
protected by a circuit breaker or fuse having
amperage as specified on the rating plate. The
rating plate is located under the cooktop.
We recommend you have the electrical wiring and
hookup of your range connected by a qualified
electrician. After installation, have the electrician
show you where your main range disconnect is
located.
Check with your local utilities for electrical codes
which apply in your area. Failure to wire your
oven according to governing codes could result in
a hazardous condition. If there are no local codes,
your range must be wired and fused to meet the
requirements of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/
NFPA No. 70 - Latest Edition.
You can get a copy from: National Fire Protection
Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269
Effective January 1, 1996, the National Electrical
Code requires that new construction (not existing)
utilize a 4-conductor connection to an electric
range.
You must use a 3-wire, single-phase A.C.
208Y/120 Volt or 240/120 Volt, 60 hertz
electrical system. If you connect to aluminum wiring,
properly installed connectors approved for use with
aluminum wiring must be used.
If the electrical service provided does not meet the
above specifications, have a licensed electrician
install an approved outlet.
NOTE: Use of automatic, wireless, or wired external
switches that shut off power to the appliance is not
recommended for this product.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
ALL NEW BRANCH CIRCUIT INSTALLATIONS,
MOBILE HOMES, RECREATIONAL VEHICLES AND
INSTALLATIONS WHERE LOCAL CODES DO NOT
ALLOW GROUNDING THROUGH NEUTRAL,
REQUIRE A 4-CONDUCTOR CORD OR CONDUIT
Use only a 3-conductor or a 4-conductor UL-listed
range cord. These cords may be provided with ring
terminals on wire and a strain relief device.
A range cord rated at 40 amps with 125/250
minimum volt range is required. A 50 amp range
cord is not recommended but if used, it should
be marked for use with nominal 1 3/8” diameter
connection openings. Care should be taken to
center the cable and strain relief within the knockout
hole to keep the edge from damaging the cable.
Because range terminals are not accessible after
the range is in position, a flexible service conduit or
cord must be used.
On some models, a filter capacitor may be
connected between the black and white leads on the
junction block.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
SURFACE COOKING CONTROLS
The surface heating elements of the appliance are
designed for a variety of heat settings.
At both the HI and LO positions, there are slight
indents and the knob will click into place in these
positions. HI indicates the highest setting. LO
indicates the lowest setting.
A sound of clicking may be heard from the
appliance during use. This is normal and indicates
that the heat setting selected is being maintained.
Changing to a higher heat setting will happen faster
than changing to a lower heat setting as it will take
time for the heat to dissipate.
SETTING THE CONTROLS
1. Push the control knob in.
2. Turn to the desired heat setting.
The knob only needs to be pushed in when moving
out of the “OFF” position. When the knob is in any
position other than “OFF”, it can be turned without
pushing in.
Ensure that the element is turned off when cooking
is finished. An indicator light will glow when any
heating element is turned on.
HEAT SETTING GUIDE
• HI - quick start for cooking; bringing water to a
boil
• MEDIUM HIGH - Fast fry; pan broil; maintain a
fast boil on a large amount of food
• MED - Sauté and brown; maintain a slow boil
on a large amount of food
• MEDIUM LOW - Cereal; maintain the serving
temperature of most foods
• LO - Cook after starting at HI; cook with little
water in a covered pan; use to steam rice; melt
chocolate or butter
Never leave food unattended while cooking. Boil
overs cause smoking. Greasy spill overs may catch
fire.
SURFACE COOKING TIPS
Use medium or heavyweight cookware. Aluminum
cookware conducts heat faster than other metals.
Cast-iron and coated cast-iron cookware is slow to
absorb heat, but generally cooks evenly at low or
medium heat settings. Steel pans may cook unevenly
if not combined with other metals.
Do not overfill cookware with fat that may spill over
when adding food. Frosty foods bubble vigorously.
Watch foods frying at high temperatures. Keep
range and hood clean from accumulated grease.
To conserve the most cooking energy, pans should
be flat on the bottom, have straight sides and tight-
fitting lids. Match the size of the saucepan to the
size of the surface element. A pan that extends more
than an inch beyond the edge of the drip pan traps
heat, which causes “crazing” (fine hairline cracks)
on porcelain, and discoloration ranging from blue
to dark gray on chrome drip pans.

12
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
OVEN COOKING CONTROLS
To use the oven, turn the oven temperature knob to
the desired cooking temperature. The oven knob
is marked in 25 degree increments, from 200°F to
BROIL.
The oven light glows until the oven reaches the
selected temperature and then will turn off. During
cooking, the light will turn on any time the oven
needs to add more heat to maintain the selected
temperature.
OVEN SHELVES
The oven shelves are designed with stop-locks so
that when they are placed correctly on the shelf
supports, they will stop before coming completely
out of the oven and will not tilt when food is being
removed or added.
To remove the shelves from the oven, pull the shelf
outward, tilt the front end upward and pull it out.
To replace the shelves, place the shelf on the support
with the stop locks facing up and toward the back of
the oven. Tilt up the front and push the shelf toward
the back of the oven until it goes past the bump on
the shelf support, then lower the front of the shelf
and push it all the way into the oven.
The oven has four different shelf support positions to
accommodate different cooking requirements.
ADJUST THE OVEN THERMOSTAT
You may find that the new oven cooks differently
than the one it replaced. Use the new oven for a
few weeks to become familiar with it. If you still find
the oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the
thermostat.
Do not use thermometers, such as those found in
grocery stores to check the temperature of the oven.
They are not calibrated for high temperatures and
can vary from 20 - 40 degrees.
This adjustment will not affect the broiling
temperatures. The adjustment will be retained after
a power failure.
1. Pull the oven temperature knob off the
range and look at the back of it. To make an
adjustment, loosen by one turn the two screws
on the back of the knob. Do not completely
remove the screws.
2. With the back of the knob facing you, hold the
outer edge of the knob with one hand and turn
the front of the knob with the other hand.
3. To increase the oven temperature, move the top
screw toward the right.
4. To decrease the oven temperature, move the top
screw toward the left.
5. You will hear a click for each notch you move
the knob. Each click will change the oven
temperature approximately 10°F. The range is
plus or minus 60°F from the arrow. We suggest
that you adjust the temperature by one click and
then test the oven performance before adjusting
further.
6. After the adjustment is made, retighten the
screws so they are snug. Be careful not to over-
tighten.
7. Replace the knob, matching the flat area of the
knob to the shaft.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
OVEN BOILING
Broiling involves cooking food by intense radiant
heat from the upper element in the oven. Most fish
and tender cuts of meat can be boiled. Follow these
steps to keep spattering and smoking to a minimum.
1. If the meat has fat or gristle around the edge,
cut vertical slashes through both about 2” apart.
If desired, fat may be trimmed, leaving a layer
about 1/8” thick.
2. Place the meat on a broiler grid in a broiler pan
designed for broiling. Always use the grid so
the fat drips into the broiler pan; otherwise the
juices may become hot enough to catch fire.
3. Place the shelf in one of the top two positions for
most broiling.
4. Place the food in the oven and close the door.
Always broil with the door closed.
5. Turn the oven temperature knob to BROIL.
6. Food can be turned during broiling if necessary.
Be cautious of hot air or steam when opening
the oven door.
7. Make sure to turn the oven temperature knob to
OFF once broiling is complete.
BROILING TIPS
• If desired, marinate meats or chicken before
broiling or brush with barbecue sauce in the last
5 - 10 minutes of cooking.
• When arranging food on a pan, do not let fatty
edges hang over the sides as the dripping fat
will soil the oven as it cooks.
13
OVEN BAKING AND ROASTING
1. Position the shelves in the oven. If cooking on
two shelves at the same time, stagger the pans
for the best heat circulation.
2. Close the oven door. Turn oven temperature
knob to the desired temperature.
3. Place the food on the center of the oven shelf.
Allow at least 2 inches between the end of the
pan and the oven wall or any adjacent pans.
4. Check the food regularly. Remove once done
and ensure the oven is turned off.
SHELF POSITIONS
• Most baking is done on the second or third shelf
position from the bottom of the oven.
• When baking multiple items, use two shelves
positioned on the second and fourth shelf
supports from the bottom of the oven.
• Bake angel food cakes on the first shelf position
from the bottom of the oven.
• Roasting is usually done on the bottom shelf
position.
• If preheating is necessary, watch the oven light
and place food in the oven once the light goes
out. The oven light will cycle on and off with the
oven thermostat as it cycles to maintain an even
temperature.
BAKING AND ROASTING TIPS
• Follow a tested recipe and measure the
ingredients carefully. If you are using a package
mix, follow label directions.
• Do not open the oven door while baking or
roasting. Heat will be lost and the cook time
might need to be extended. If you must open the
door, open it partially and close it as quickly as
possible.
• Roasting is cooking by dry heat. Tender meat
or poultry can be roasted uncovered. Roasting
temperatures, which should be low and steady,
keep spattering to a minimum. When roasting,
it is not necessary to sear, baste, cover, or add
water to the meat.
• Frozen roasts of meat can be cooked without
thawing, but allow 10 to 25 minutes of
additional time per pound of meat (10 minutes
per pound for roasts under 5 pounds, more time
for larger roasts).
• Thaw frozen poultry before roasting to ensure
even cooking. Some commercial frozen poultry
can be cooked successfully without thawing.
Follow directions given on package label.

CARE & MAINTENANCE
SURFACE ELEMENTS
To clean the surface heating elements, turn the
temperature control knob to the highest setting for
one minute; this will burn off any food residue. Note
that this could cause smoke, it is advisable to open
a window or turn on a fan to avoid smoke build up.
Do not immerse the heating elements in liquids
of any kind. Do not put heating elements into a
dishwasher.
To remove the drip pans for cleaning, first remove
the heating elements. Make sure the elements are
cool before touching them.
Lift the element about 1” above the drip pan and
pull to remove. Do not lift the element more than
1” as this can bend internal components and the
element may not lie flat when it is replaced.
Remove the drip pan and clean as necessary. Drip
pans can be cleaned in a dishwasher or by hand.
Once cleaning is complete, replace the drip pan in
the recess in the cook top. Make sure the opening in
the pan lines up with the receptacle.
Insert the terminals on the heating element through
the opening in the drip pan and into the receptacle.
Guide the element into place gently so that is rests
evenly.
Do not attempt to clean, adjust or repair the
receptacles in any way.
CLEANING
Porcelain enamel cook top
The porcelain enamel finish on the cook top is
sturdy but can be damaged if misused. Any acidic
foods such as fruit juices, tomato or vinegar, should
not be permitted to remain on the finish for any
length of time.
Lift up cook top
The cook top can be lifted so the area underneath
can be cleaned. Spills that over flow the drip pans,
especially grease, should be cleaned to avoid build
up and possible smoking or ignition.
Ensure the heating elements are turned off and cool
before lifting the cook top.
Remove the heating elements and the drip pans.
Lift the cook top and prop open with the internal rod
for easier cleaning. This area can be cleaned with
hot, soapy water and a clean cloth.
Once complete, return the internal prop rod to its
initial position and lower the cook top until it snaps
into position. Be careful not to pinch your fingers.
Replace the drip pans and heating elements.

CARE & MAINTENANCE

hand. Make sure the insides of the knobs are dry
before replacing on the appliance.
Painted surfaces
The painted surfaces include the sides, the control
panel, the door and the kick plate. Clean these with
soap and water or a vinegar and water solution.
Do not use commercial oven cleaners, cleansing
powders, steel wool or harsh abrasives on any
painted surface.
Porcelain oven interior
With proper care, the porcelain enamel interior will
retain its finish for many years.
Soap and water can be used to clean the interior.
Heavy splattering or spills may require cleaning
with a mild abrasive cleaner.
Do not allow spills with high acid content such as
milk, tomatoes, fruit juices or pie filling, to remain
on the surface. They may cause dull spots even after
cleaning.
Household ammonia may make cleaning easier.
Place 1/2 cup of ammonia in a shallow glass pan
and leave in a cold oven over night. The ammonia
fumes will help loosen burned on grease and food.
Cautions about using spray-on oven cleaners
Do not spray oven cleaner on the electrical controls
and switches as it could cause a short circuit and
result in sparking or fire.
Do not spray oven cleaner directly onto the oven
heating elements.
Do not allow a film from the oven cleaner to remain
on the temperature sensor as it could cause the oven
to heat improperly. The sensor is located on the top
of the oven. Carefully wipe the bulb clean after each
oven cleaning, being careful not to move the sensor
since a change in its position could affect how the
oven bakes.
Do not spray oven cleaner on the outside of the
oven door, handles or any exterior surface of the
oven, cabinet or painted surfaces. The cleaner can
damage these surfaces.

CARE & MAINTENANCE

REMOVABLE OVEN DOOR
The oven door is removable but it is heavy. It
is recommended that at least two people work
together to remove it.
To remove the door:
1. Open the door to the full open position.
2. Pull the hinge locks up over the hinge hooks on
both sides.
3. Grasp the door firmly on both sides, lift slightly
and pull it straight out and away from the oven.
To replace the door:
1. Firmly grasp both sides of the door at the top.
2. Insert and seat the upper and lower hinge arms
into the oven slots.
3. Push the hinge locks down from the hinge hooks.
4. Close the oven door and make sure it is working
properly. If it seems uneven or does not close
completely, remove it again and repeat the steps
to replace it.
Note: Do not attempt to close the door until it is
properly installed. The hinges could be damaged.
Glass door window
To clean the outside of the glass door window, use a
glass cleaner. Rinse and polish with a dry cloth.
Avoid scratching or impacting the glass window.
Doing so may cause the glass to break.
OVEN LIGHT REPLACEMENT
Important: Before replacing the oven light bulb,
make sure the electrical power is disconnected from
the appliance. Failure to do so may result in electric
shock or burn.
Be sure to let the light cover and bulb cool
completely before replacing.
Removing the oven door can make this process
easier.
To remove the light cover:
1. Twist the lens counterclockwise roughly 1/4 turn
to remove. Do not remove any screws to remove
the light cover.
2. Do not touch the light bulb with a wet cloth.
Replace the light bulb with a 40 watt appliance
light bulb.
To replace the light cover:
1. Line up the tabs of the lens with the tabs on the
light housing and rotate clockwise by roughly
1/4 turn to install.
