TOOLS NEEDED: Phillips head screwdriver
1 3/8" open end or adjustable wrench
Bracket attaches to floor or wall to hold either right or left
rear leg leveler_ If fastening to floor, be surethat screws
do not penetrate electrical wiring or plumbing. If this
cannot be determined, use shorter screws that will not
penetrate through flooring°
If the bracket came with your range, it is shipped at-
tached to the lower range back. Remove and discard
the shipping screw that holds the bracket and then
foItow instructions below_
.

Decide whether the bracket will be installed on the
right or left side of range location.
if the bracket side of the range is adjacent to a
cabinet, place the bracket against back wall and
cabinet as shown in Figure 1°
If there is no adjacent cabinet, determine where the
location of the range side (painted outside panel) will
be. Place the bracket with its outside edge at this
location and against back wall. See Figure 1.
3. Determine whether you will anchor the bracket to the
floor or wail. Fasten the bracket securely with the
screws provided. Screws are self.drilling in wood,
plywood, particle and chip board, and most metal
framing. Ifattachlng to masonry, you can buy suitable
screws and anchors at hardware stores° Use a
masonry drill to drill the required holeso
4. Using the wrench, back out the four leg levelers at
least two turns. See your installation guide for more
leveling information before positioning range°
5o Slide the range into place. Be sure rear leg leveler
fully engages slot in bracket. If range cannot be
moved back far enough for rear leg leveler to enter
bracket, move bracket forward as required and attach
to floor in new location.

YOUR SAFETY
SAVE THESE RNSTRUCT|ONS
S"
Read all instructions before using this appliance. When u mg electrical
appliances, basic safe=y precautions should be followed, including the following:
Teach children not to play with range
knobs or any other part of the range.
Never leave children alone or unat-
tended where a range is in use.
CAUTION:
Items of interest to children
should not be stored in cabinets
above the range or on the
backsplash of the range. Chil.
dren climbing on the range to
reach items could be seriously
injured.
Never let anyone climb, sit or stand
on the open door or any other part of
the range. Their weight may make
the range tip over.
Never leavethe oven door open when
you are not watching the range.
2 NESAF08-5

Always keep the range area clear
and free from things that will burn.
CAUTHON:
Never store things in an
oven or near cooktop elements/
burners. These things may catch
fire and plastic items could melt.
Never use your range for warming
or heating a room. You could be
burned or seriously injured. Such
misuse could also cause damage to
the range.
Never wear loose clothing when
using your range, Such clothing
could catch fire,
Never use atowel or other bulky cloth
as a potholder. Such cloths could
catch fire on a hot element/burner.
Never let pot handles stick out
over the front of the range. Turn
handles in so that they cannot be
bumped into. Keep the handles
away from other hot surface ele-
ments/burners.
Never leave cooktop elements/
burners unwatched at high heat
settings. Boilovers cause smok-
ing and greasy spillovers could
catch fire.
3NESAFOg-2

Keep this book for later use.
Be sure your range is installed and grounded properly
by a qualified technician.
Choose pots and pans with flat bottoms, large enough
to cover the entire cooktop element. This will cut down
the risk of setting potholders or clothing on fire with an
uncovered element and waste less energy°
Always use care when touching the cooktop, oven
heating elements or inside the oven° Heating elements
could be hot enough to burn you even if they are dark in
color° The oven vent duct and oven door may also
become hot during range use. The glass surface of the
cooktop will retain heat after the controls areturned off.
Only some kinds of glass or ceramic pans can be used
for cooktop cooking. Be sure that the pan you use will
not break when heated on the cooktop elements.
Place oven racks in desired posltio nwhile oven ts cool.
tf rack must be moved while oven _s hOt, do not let
potholder contact hot heating element in oven.
After broiling, always take the broiler pan out of the
range and clean it. Leftover grease in the broiler pan
can catch on fire next time you use the pan.
AUways use dry potholders when removing pans from
the oven or cooktop. Moist or damp potholders can
cause steam burns_
Always use care when opening oven door. Let hot air
and steam out before moving food.
Always follow cleaning instructions in this book.
Always keep the range and oven clean. Food and
grease are easy to ignite. Clean the range, oven and
vents regularly.
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.
Always remove broiler pan and other utensils from the
oven before a self-clean cycler
CAUTBON: Do not store items of interest to
children in cabinets above a range or on the
backguard of arange. Children climbing on a
range to reach items coulld be seriously injured,
Always keep combustible wall coverings, curtains, or
drapes asafe distance away from your range and oven.
AJways keep dish towels, dish cloths, potholders and
other linens a safe distance away from your range.
Never store such items on your range.
Always keep the appliance area clear and free from
things that will burn (gasoline and other flammable
vapors and liquids).
Never try to repair or replace any part of the range
unless Instructions are given In this book. All other
work should be done by a skilled technician.
Never heat unopened food containers. Pressure
buildup may make container burst and cause injury.
Never leave jars or cans of fat or drippings on or near
the range. Never let grease build up on your range. You
can keep grease fires from starting if you clean up
grease and spills after each range use.
Never use aluminum foil to line drip bowls or oven
bottoms. Improper use of foil could start a fire.
Never block free airflow through the oven vent.
Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially a deep fat
fryer. Wait until the fat has cooled.
Do not cook on broken cooktop, If cooktop should
break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate
the broken cooktop and create a risk of electrical shock.
Contact a qualified technician immediately.
Never rub, move, or damage the door gasket on self-
cleaning ranges. The gasket isessential fora good seal.
Only clean the gasket by soaking it with hydrogen
peroxide, as described in the self-clean section of the
manual.
Never touch surface units, heating elements, or interior
surfaces of the oven. They may be hot even though they
appear dark in color.
if the self-cleaning mode malfunctions, turn off and
disconnect the power supply. Have serviced by a
qualified technician.
Always keep wooden utensils, plastic utensils or canned
food a safe distance away from your range.
Be sure everyone in your home knows what to do in
case of fire.
For major spills -- Turn unit to LO; use dry paper
towels to wipe up major spills, and then use a razor
scraper (held in a pothoider) to scrape major spills from
a hot cooking zone. DO NOT attempt further cleaning
until cooktop surface has cooled.
Some cleaners produce noxious fumes and wet cloths
could cause steam burns if used on a hot surface.
Never try to clean utensils, cookware or removable
parts of your range during a self-clean cycle.

mMPO@TANT SAFETY NOTICe:
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforce-
ment Act requires the governor of California to publish
a list of substances known to the state to cause birth
defects or other reproductive harm and requires busi-
nesses 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.
oNeve_ slide cookware across your cooktop.
DO HOT use adish loweU or sponge to w_pe up the cook_op. They may leave
a detergent film on the cooktop which may cause discoloration when heated. If this
occurs, remove the discoloration with a recommended cooktop cleaner.
Melted materials (plastic, aluminum foil, sugar, or foods with high sugar content)
can cause damage to the cooktop. If you accidentally melt anything on your
cooktop, turn unit to LO; wipe hot cooktop immediately with several dry paper
towels. Scrape off remainder of burned material with razor scraper (held with
potholder) at 30° angle while unit is warm. Be careful not to burn yourself! After
cooking is complete, turn unit to OFF. DO _OT attempt further cleaning until
cooktop surface has cooled.
. DO HOT use scouring powders, plastic, nylon or metal cleaning pads. They may
scratch the cooktop.
-_O NOT use chlorine bleach, ammonia, hydrofluoric acid, chemical oven cleaners,
or any other kind of chemical cleaner. They may discolor the cooktop.
•To avoid possible damage to cooking surfaces, do not apply cooktop cleaning
creme to hot surfaces.

For best cooklng results and energy efficient operation,
you should use pans that are flat on the bottom. Match
the size of the pan to the size of the surface unIt. The pan
should not extend over the edge of the trim ring more
than 1".
Ho_e; A slight odor Is normal when a new cooktop Is
used for the first time. It Is caused by the heating of new
parts and insulating materials and will disappear In a

A!
Can Iuse special cooking equipment, like an oriental
wok, on any of the cooking zones?
We recommend that you use only flat bottomed
woks. Cookware without flat surfaces Is not recom-
mended.
May Ican foods and preserves on my maintop cook-
tng zones?
Yes, but only use cookware designed for canning
purposes. Check the manufacturer's Instructions
and recipes for preserving foods. Be sure canner Is
fiat-bottomed and fits over the center of the cooking
zone selected. Canning should only be done on the
maintop cooking zones. Canning generates large
amounts of steam; be careful to avoid burns.
Why am I not getting the heat Ineed from my selected
cooking zone even though the knob Is on the right
setting?
Use cookware with flat bottoms and center the cook-
ware Inside the circle for the cooking zone selected.
Metal cookware will conduct heat best.
HOME CANNI G TiPS
In surface cooking of foods other than canning, the use
of larg_dlameter pots (extending more than 1" beyond
edge of drip pan) is not recommended. However, when
canning with water-bath or pressure canner, large-dl-
ameter pots may be used. This Is because boiling water
temperatures (even under pressure) are not harmful to
cooktop surfaces surrounding heating unit.
HOWEVEP. _:) HOT USE LARGE DIiAMSI'F.R CAN=
HERS OR OTHER LARGE DNAMs'rER POTS; FOR
FRYBHG OR BOllL{IHG FOODS OTHER THAN WATER,
snugly over surface unit. Canners with flanged or
rippled bottoms (often found In enamelware) are not
recommended.
RIGHT WRONG
Most syrup or sauce mixtures -- and all types of frying
--cook at temperatures much higher than boiling water.
Such temperatures could eventually harm cooktop sur-
faces surrounding heating units.
OBSERVE FOLLOWING POINTS iN
CANNING
1. Bring water to boll on HIGH heat, then after bolllng
has begun, adjust heat to lowest setting to maintain
boll (saves energy and best uses surface unit).
2. Be sure cannerflts overcenter of surface unit. Ifyour
range does not allow canner to be centered on
surface unit, use smaller-diameter pots for good
canning results.
3. Flat-bottomed canners give best cannlng results. Be
sure bottom of canner Is flat or sllg ht Indentation fits
4. When canning, use recipes from reputable sources.
Reliable recipes are available from the manufacturer
of your canner; manufacturers of glass jars for can-
ning, such as Ball and Kerr; and the United States
Department of Agriculture Extension Service.
5. Remember, In following the recipes, that canning Is a
prooe_ that generates large amounts of steam. Be
carefulwhilecanning toprevent burns from steam orl'r_-_.
NOTE: If your range is being operated on low power
(voltage), canning may take longer than expected, even
though directions have been carefully followed. The
process may be Improved by:
(1) using a pressure canner, and
(2) beginning with hot tap water when heatlng
larger quantities of water.

@V N C@@KHNG
When cooking a food for the first time in your new
oven, use time given on recipes as a guide.
Your new oven has been set correctly at the factory
and is more apt to be accurate than the oven it
replaced.
After you have used your oven for awhile, if you feel
your oven should be hotter or cooler, you can adjust
it yourself. See THERMOSTAT ADJUSTMENTS
tn this manual.
.Always follow recipe carefully,
• Measure ingredients properly.
m
o
Use proper pan placement.
Place pans on the oven racks with 1" to 1 t/2" of air
space on all sides of each pan. Avoid overcrowding
the oven°
Pans too close to each other, to oven walls otto the
oven bottom block the free movement of air. Im-
proper air movement causes uneven browning and
cooking.
Do not lock the oven lock/unlock handle while
baking or broiling. The oven lock/unlock handle
is used for self-clean only_
Cakes, cookies, muffins, and quick breads should
be baked in shiny pans -- to reflect the heat
because they should have a light golden crust.
Yeast breads and pie crusts should be baked in
glass or dull (non-shiny) pans --to absorb the heat
because they should have a brown, crisp crust.
Be sure the underside of the pan is shiny, too.
Darkened undersides will absorb the heat and may
cause over-browning on the bottom of your food.
2 cake layers
4 cake layers
When baking several items stagger pans so that no
pan is directly above another.
Let the oven preheat thoroughly before cooking
baked productso Listen for preheat notification tone
and put the food in the oven,
Opening the door too often to check food during
baking will allow heat loss and may cause poor
baking results_
Oven temperatures should be reduced 25 degrees
below recommended temperatures ifexterior of pan
is predarkened, darkened by age or oven proof
glass_
There may be some odor when the oven is first used.
This is caused by the heating of new parts and
tnsulation_
Do not cover an entire oven rack with foil. The foil
can block normal heat flow and cause poor baking
results. Do not place any foil directly above the bake
element. Foil used on the oven bottom under the
element may damage the oven surface; therefore, it
should not be used.
Cookies should be baked on flat cookie sheets
without sides to allow the air to circulate properly.
When recipes require preheating, have food nearby
before you open the oven door. If the oven door is
allowed to remain open for more than a brief time,
the preheat temperature wi, be lost.

Most foods can be broiled atthe HI Broil Setting. Select
the LO Broil setting to avoid excessive browning or
drying of foods that should be cooked to the well-done

Use only the broiler pan and grid that came with your
range for broiling. They are designed for proper
drainage of fat and liquids and help prevent spatter,
smoke or fire.
• Do not preheat when broi!ling. For even broiling
on both sides, start the food on a cold pan.
• Trim the outer layer of fat from steaks and chops. Slit
the fatty edges to keep the meat from curling.
• For maximum juiciness, salt the first side just before
turning the meat. Salt the second side just before
serving.
• Brush chicken and fish with butter several times as
they broil When broiling fish, grease the grid to
prevent sticking and broil with skin side down. it ts
not necessary to turn fish.

should be at least 3/4" thick_
After placing food on the brotler pan, put the pan on an
oven rack in the proper position. The recommended
rack position and cooking time can befound in the chart
below.
The closer the food Is to the broil element, the faster the
meat browns on the outside, yet stays red to pink In the
center. Moving the meat farther away from the element
lets the meat cook to the center while browning outside.

THE SELF-CLEAN CYCLE
BEFORE A CLEAN CYCLE
1. Remove the broiler pan and grid, oven racks, all
utensils and any foil that may be In the oven. Do not
try to clean utensils or any other objects In the oven
during a self-clean cycle. ]if oven racks are left in
the range during a cnean cycle, they wil! darken_
lose their luster and beconm hard to slide, if
you choose to leave the racks In the oven, you can
polish the edges of the racks with steel wool and
apply a small amount of vegetable oll to the rack
edges after the self.clean cycle. This will make the
racks easier to slide.
2. Sell on the oven front frame, under the front edge of
the cooktop, the door liner outside the door gasket
and the front edge ofthe oven cavity (about 1" Into the
oven) will not be cleaned during aclean cycle (see
Illustration below). Clean these areas by hand before
starting a clean cycle.
Use hot water with a soap-filled steel wool pad. We
recommend a cleanser such as 'Soft Scrub®' brand
or a similar cleaning product to keep white surfaces
looklng clean and new. After cleaning, rinse well to
help prevent abrown residue from forming when the
oven is heated. Buff these areas dry with adry cloth°
FRONTFRAME

DOOR UNER
3. Wipe up heavy splllovers on the oven bottom. Too
much soil may cause smoking during the clean,cycle.
4. Do not rub the doorgasket. The fiberglass material of
the gasket hasan extremely low resistance to abrasion.
An Intact and well flttlng oven door gasket Isessential
for energy efficient oven operation and good baking
results. If you notice the gasket becoming worn,
frayed or damaged In any way or If it has become
displaced on the door, you should replace the seal.
PUease Note. =
The door gasket is designed to have a5".6 =gap
at the bottom of the even doer. This is te allew
for proper air circulation.
AFTER A CLEAN CYCLE
After a clean cycle, you may notice some white ash In the
oven. Just wlpe It up with a damp cloth.
if white spots remain, remove them with a soap-filled
steel wool pad. Be sure to rinse thoroughly with a
vinegar and water mixture. These deposits are usually
a salt reslduethat cannot be removed bythe clean cycle.
If the oven is not clean after one clean cycle, the cycle
may be repeated.

GLASS=CERAMIC COOKTOP CLEANING
Cleaning of glass-ceramlc cooktop Is different from
cleaning a standard porcelain finish.
To maintain and protect the surface of your new glass-
ceramic cooktop follow these basic steps.
DALLY CLEANIHG:
Use only Cook Top Cleaning Creme®on Glass-Ceramic.
For normal_ I_ght soil:
1. Rub asmall amount of Cook Top Cleaning Creme®
onto soiled area using adry paper towel. Wipe until
all soil and creme are removed. Frequent cleanlng
leaves aprotective coating of slltcone which Is es-
sential in preventing scratches and abrasions.
2. Clean surface with Cook Top Cleaning Creme®after
each use.
For heavy_ burned-on soih
1. Apply afew drops of Cook Top Cleaning Creme® to
the cool, soiled area°
2. Using a dry paper towel, rub creme Into the burned-
on area.
3. Carefully scrape remaining soil with razor scraper.
Hold scraper at a 30° angle against the ceramic
surface.
sIf any soil remains, repeat the steps listed above. For
additional protection after all soil has been removed,
poltsh the entire surface with the Cook Top Cleaning
Creme®.
NOTE: Using a razor scraper will not damage the sur-
face If the 30 ° angle Is maintained. _ Not use
adullli or nicked razor bUade on your
coektop. Stere the razor scraper out of
reach of chBlldren.
SPECBAn_ CARE:
Sugar spills (such as jellies, fudge, candy syrups) or
melted plastic can cause pitting of the surface of your
cooktop unless the spill is removed while still hot.
Specia_ care should be taken when removing hot
substances. Follow these Instructions carefully and
remove soil while spill is still hot.
1. Turn off all surface units affected by the spill. Re-
move hot utensils.
2, Wearing an oven mitt, hold the razor scraper at a 30°
angle to the cooktop and scrape hot spill to a cool
area outside the surface unlt.
3. With the spill In a cool area, use a dry paper towel to
remove any excess. Any spill remaining should be
left until the surface of the cooktop haS cooled. Do
not continue to use the soiled surface unit until all of
the splll has been removed. Follow the steps under
Heavy Soil to continue the cleanlng process.
GENERAL iNFORMATION:
As the Cook Top Cleaning Creme® cleans, It leaves a
protective silicone coating on the cooktop surface. This
coating helps prevent buildup of mineral deposits (water
spots) and will make future cleaning easier. Dishwasher
detergents remove this protective coating and therefore
make the cooktop more susceptible to staining.
PRECAUTIONS:
Most cleaners contain ammonia, chemicals and abra-
sives which can damage the surface of your cooktop.
Use only the Cook Top Cleaning Creme® for
proper cleaning and protection of your gBass.
ceramic surface.
Ifyou slide aluminum or copper cookware across the
surface of your cooktop, they may leave metal mark-
ings which appear as scratches. If this should
happen, use the razor scraper and Cook Top Clean-
Ing Creme® to remove these markings. Failure to
remove this residue Immediately may leave perma-
nent marks.
If pots with a thin overlay of aluminum, copper, or
enamel are allowed to boll dry, the overlay may bond
with the glass-ceramic and leave ablack discolora-
tion. This should be removed Immediately before
heatlng again orthe discoloration may be permanent.
Use of window cleaner may leave an Iridescent film
on the cooktop. Cook Top Cleaning Creme® will
remove this discoloration.
,Waterstains (calcium deposits) are removable using
Cook Top Cleaning Creme® or full strength white
vinegar.
