Keep this book for later use.
Be sure your range is Installed and grounded properly
by a qualified technician.
Choose pots and pans wlth flat bottoms, large enough
to cover the entire cooktop element. This will cut down
t!_e risk of setUng potholders or clothing on fire with an
uncovered element and waste less energy.
hi]ways 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
co!or. 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 are turned off.
O_gy 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.
P_ac_ oven racks in desired position while oven is cool.
Bfrack must be moved while oven is hot, do not let
pothoider contact hot heating element In oven.
/_'_er brolllng, 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.
A_ways use dry potholders when removing pans from
_he oven or cooktop, tVlolst or damp potholders can
cause steam burns.
_h_Javs use care when opening oven door. Let hot air
and steam out before moving food.
Atlways follow cleaning instructions In this book.
A_wajs keep the range and oven clean. Food and
grease are easy to Ignite. Clean the range, oven and
vents regularly.

A_]ways keep the appliance area clear and free from
things that wUl burn (gasoline and other flammable
vapors and ltqulds).
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 afire.
Never block free airflow through the oven vent.
Never try to move apan of hot fat, especially a deep fat
fryer. Wait until the fat has cooled.
_eve_put removable heating elements in water. Do not
put them in a dishwasher. Do not put them In the self-
clean cycle of self-cleaning ovens.
Do not cook on broken coektop. If cooktop should
break, cleaning solutions and splllovers may penetrate
the broken cooktop and create a risk of electrical shock,
Contact a qualified techniclan Immediately.
Never rub, move, or damage the door gasket on self-
cleaning ranges. The gasket Is essential 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.
ill_he se_-c_eaning mode mallfu_c_ons, turn off and
disconnect the power supply. Have sep_lced by a
qualified technician.
Us_en for Fan -- Afan noise should be heard some-
time during the clean cycle. If not, call a service techni-
cian before self-cleaning again.
A_ways keep wooden utensils, plastic utensils or canned
food a safe distance away from your range.
Be sure eve_4ene In your home knows what to do in
case of fire.
For major sp_Hs -- Turn unit to LO; use dry paper
towels to wipe up major spills, and then use arazor
scraper (held In a potholder) 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 ff used on a hot surface.
Never try to clean utensils, cookware or removable
parts of your range during a self-clean cycle.

P@RTANT SAFETY NOTnCE
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 ofpotential exposure to such
substances.
The fiberglass Insulation in self-clean ovens gives off a
very small amount of carbon monoxide during the
cleanlng cycle. Exposure can be minimized by venting
with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood.
° Never slide cookware across your cooktop.
. DO NOT use adish towell or sponge _o wipe up the cook_op.
They may leave a detergent film on the cooktop which may cause
discoloration when heated. Ifthls occurs, remove the discoloration
with a recommended cooktop cleaner.
° Melted materials (plastic, aluminum loll, sugar, or foods with high
sugar content) can cause damage to the cooktop, if you acciden-
tally 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 in potholder)
at 30°anglewhlleunit lswarm. Becarefulnottoburnyourself! After
cooking is complete, turn unit to OFF. DO NOT attempt further
cleaning until cooktop surface has cooled.
,DO NOT use scouring powders, plastlc, nylon or metal cleaning
pads. They may scratch the cooktop.
• DO NOT usechlorlne bleach,ammonla, hydrofluoric acid, chemical
oven cleaners, or any other kind of chemical cleaner. They may
discolor the cooktop.

use of your range. Electricity to the range can be
disconnected at the outlet without moving the range
if the outlet is in the preferred location (remove lower
drawer).
oTo eliminate the risk of burns or fire when reaching
over hot surface elements, cabinet storage space
above the cooktop should be avolded. If cabinet
storage space Is to be provided above the cooktop,
the risk can be reduced by installing a range hood that
sticks out at least 5" beyond the front of the
cabinets. Cabinets Installed above a cooktop may be
no deeper than I3".
The range may be placed with 0" clearance (flush) at
the back wall and side walls of the range If the front
edges of the range side panels stick out beyond the
cabinet front at least 1/4". See Figure 2.
For listed over-the.range microwave ovens, the
microwave ovens can be Installed above the cooktop
as per manufactured Installation Instructions.
5. For proper cooking and baking the range must be
leveled:
a. install the oven racks (see use and care section
for Instructions).
b. Use a 1 3/8" open end wrench or an adjustable
wrench to equally back out the four leg levelers
two or three turns each.
1. Remove all tape and packaging. Be sure to remove
clear plastic film that covers some chrome parts
(around glass oven doors, slde trim) and any tape or
packaging from inside the oven.
2. Take the accessory pack out of the oven.
3. Check to be sure that no range parts have come
loose during shipping.

We recommend that you have the electrical hookup of
your range done by a qualified electrician. Have the
electrician show you where your range disconnect is
located.
Call your Electric Company and ask which codes apply
in your area. if there are no codes, you must follow the
NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE, ANSI/NFPA NO. 70-
Latest Edition. You can get a copy by writing:
National Fire Protection Association
Battewmarch Park

If you fall to wire your range In accordance with govern-
Ing codes, you may create a hazardous condition.
You must use athree-wire, single-phase AC 120/240 Volt
or 208Y/120 Volt, 60 Hertz electrical system to operate
your range.
Use #8 wire and 40 Amp fuse or circuit breaker for 120/
240 Volt and 208Y/120 Volt systems.
The range connector block is approved for copper wire
connection only. If you are connecting to aluminum
house wiring, you must use a special U.L. approved
connector for joining copper to aluminum.

2. Use a 3-wire flexible cord kit marked for ranges. If
range is rated between 8,750-16,500 watts, cord must
be rated for 40 Amps-125!250 Volts. If range is rated
between 16,501-22,500 watts, then the cord must be
rated for 50 Amps-125/250 Volts. Mobile homes or
Installations where local codes do not allow grounding
through the neutral require a4-wire flexible cord. The
same cord sizing conditions described above apply.
3. When using acord rated 40 Amps, remove the next to
outermost knockout (13/8"diameter) inthe connection
plate. Likewise, when using a cord rated 50 Amps,

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, ifyou feel
your oven should be hotter or cooler, you can adjust
it yourself. See THERMOSTAT ADJUSTMENTS
in this manual.
,Always follow recipe carefully.
• Measure Ingredients properly.
.Use proper pan placement.
• Place pans on the oven racks with 1" to I 1/2" of air
space on all sides of each pan. Avoid overcrowding
the oven.
Pans too close to each other, to oven walls orto the
oven bottom block the free movement of alr. Im-
proper air movement causes uneven browning and
cooking.
Cakes, cookies, muffins, and quick breads should
be baked In shiny pans wto reflect the heat
because they should have alight 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.
f
2 cake layers
4cake layers
When baking several Items stagger pans so that no
pan Is directly above another.
Let the oven preheat thoroughly before cooking
baked products. Allow 15 minutes preheat time.
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
Insulation.
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 abovethe 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 will be lost.

Broiling Is cooking by direct heat from the broil
burner. Tender cuts of meat or marinated meat
should be selected for broiling. For best results
steaks and chops should be at least 314"thlck.
After placing food on the broiler pan, put the pan on
the rack in the lower oven. The recommended rack
position and cooking time can be found in the chart
at rlght.
The closer the food is to the broil burner, the faster
the meat browns on the outside, yet stays red to pink
in the center. Moving the meat farther away from the
burner lets the meat cook to the center while brown-
ing outside. Side one should be cooked I - 2 minutes
longer than side two.
Your oven doors should be open to the broi0
stop position whiSe broiging, Bf 1the door is
cUosed the food will roast and not broil,
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 broiging. Preheating may
cause the thermostat to cycle the broil burner off
and on. 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 slde down. It is
not necessary to turn fish.
=Hover ileave asoiled broiler pan in the range.
Grease In the pan may smoke or burn the next time
the oven is used.

a self-clean cycle. Uf oven racks are Ueft in the
range during a cllean cyclie, they will darken,
lose their _uster and become 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. Soilon the oven front frame and the door lineroutslde
the door seal and the front edge of the oven cavity
(about 1" Into the oven) will not be cleaned during a
clean cycle (see illustration below). Clean these
areas by hand before starting a clean cycle.
Use hot water with a soap-filled steel wool pad, then
rinse well.
No matter how stubborn the stain, never use harsh
abrasive cleaners. They could permanently damage
the enamel surface. We recommend a cleanser such
as 'Soft Scrub®' brand or a slmilar cleaning product
to keep white surfaces looking clean and new. After
cleaning, rinse well with a vinegar and water mtxture.
This will help prevent a brown resldue from formlng
when the oven Is heated. Buff these areas dry with a
dry cloth.

3. Wipe up heavy splllovers on the oven bottom. Too
much soll may cause smoking during the clean cycle.
4. Clean the door seal by uslng a clean sponge to soak
the soiled area with hydrogen peroxide. Repeated
soaking may be needed depending on the amount of
soil Frequent cleaning will help prevent excessive
soil buildup. Do not rubthe doorseal. The fiberglass
material of the seal has an extremely low resistance
to abrasion. An Intact and well flttlng oven door seal
Is essential for energy efficient oven operation and
good baking results. If you notice the seal becoming
worn, frayed or damaged in any way or If it has
become displaced on the door, you should replace
the seal.
AFTER A CILI AN CYCLE
Aftera clean cycle, you may notice some white ash in the
oven. Just wipe It up with a damp cloth.
If white spots remain, remove them with asoap-filled
steel wool pad. Be sure to rinse thoroughly with a
vinegar and water mixture. These deposits are usually
a salt residue that cannot be removed by the clean cycle.

If the oven Is not clean after one clean cycle, the cycle
may be repeated.
