For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or explosion,
electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.
WARNINGANTI-TIPDEVICE
All rangescan tip and injury could result.
Toprevent accidental tipping of the range, attach
it to the waft by installing the Anti--tip device
supplied.
If the Anti--tip device supplied with the range does
not fit this application, use the universal Anti--tip
device WB2X7909.
Tocheck if the device is installed and engaged
properly, carefully tip the range forward. The
Anti--tip device should engage and pravent
the range from tipping over.
If you pull file rang_ out flom file wall %r
any reason, make snre the device is properly
eng_ged when you push the tange back ag:_inst
the wall. If it is not, there is a pos0ble risk of the
range tipping over and causing inju Uif yon or
a child stand, sit or lean on an open door
Please refer to the Anti-Tip device information
in this manual. Failure to take this precaution
could resuh in tipping of the range and inju U.
IMPORTANTSAFETYNOtiCE
The Californb 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.
The fiberglass insulation in self-clean ovens gives
off a very small amount of carbon monoxide during
the cleaning cycle. Exposure can be minimized by
venting with an open window or using a ventilation
fan or hood.
SAFETYPRECAUtiONS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:
Use this appliance only for its intended
(
pm])ose as described in this )wne_ s Manual.
Be sure your appliance is properly installed
and gaounded by a qualified technician in
accordance with the provided installation
instructions.
Do not attempt to repair or replace any
part of your range unless it is specifically
recommended in this manual. All other
servicing should be refe_xed to a qualified
tech nician.
Before performing any service, disconnect
the range power supply at the household
disuibufion panel by _emoving the fllse or
switching off the circuit breaker
Do not leme children alone----r'hildren
should not be left alone or unattended in
an area where an appliance is in use. They
should nexer be allowed to sit or stand on
any part of the appliance.
Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or
hang on fl_e doo,; storage drawel, wamfing
drawel; or cooktop. They could damage the
rang_ and even tip it ovel; causing se_re
personal injm T.
Do not store flammable materials in an o'_en
or near the cooktop.
CAUtiON-Items of interestto
children should not be stored in cabinets
aboxe a range or on the backsplash of a

SURFACEUNITS--ALLMODELS
Use proper pan size-select cookware having fiat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit
heating element. The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of the surface unit to direct
contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of cookware to surface unit will also
improve efficiency.

Surface Cookware Tips
Use mediun/- or hea',_v-weight cookware.
Ahllninunl cookware conducts heat fi_ster
than other inetals. Cast-iron and coated
cast-ii'on cookware are slow to absorb heat,
but generally cook evenh' at low to inediuln
heat settings. Steel pans Inay cook tmevenlv
if not confl)ined with other metals.
For best cooking results, pans should be
fiat on tile bottom. Match tile size of tile

The pan should not extend over the edge

Wok Cooking
We recommendthat youuse onlya flat-bottomed
wok. Theyareavailableat yourlocalretail store.
Do not rise woks that have supl)ort tings.
Use ofthese types of woes, with or without
the ring in place, can be dangerous.
Placing tile ring over tile suI_fhce unit will

Typeof Margarine Will Affect Baking Performanc!!
Most recipes for baking have been
developed using high fat products such
as butter or margarine (80% fat). If you
decrease the fat, the recipe may not
give the same results as with a higher
fat product.
Recipefailurecanresultffcakes,pies,pastries,
cookiesorcandlesaremadewithlowfatspreads.
Thelowerthefatcontentofa spreadproduct,the
morenoticeablethesedifferencesbecome.
Federal standards require products labeled
"marga_-h_e" to contain at least 80% tilt by
weight, ix)\_qilt spreads, on the other hand,
contain less tilt and more water. The high
moisture content of these spreads affects
the texture and flavor of baked goods. For
best results with your old til\'ofite redpes,
rise margarine, butter or stick spreads
containing at least 70% vegetable oil.
Preheatingand PanPlacement
Preheat the oven if tile redpe calls fin" it.

You can use ahmfinum fi)il to line the

you must mold the fifil tightly to the
