]Read ailg i.st_uctio.s before using this appaianceo When using
gas or electr_can appliances, basic safety precautions shoul]d
be fonl]owed, incBuding the following:

Right Side Of Range
Fig, t
Tools you wiH1 need".
,, Phillips head screwdriver
_, 1 3/8" open end or adjustable wrench
tm
u
=
Remove the bracket from the
prepack located inside the oven.
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 Fig. 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 Fig. 2.
Determine whether you will anchor
the bracket to the floor or wall.
Make sure this location is clear of
electrical wiring or plumbing.
Fasten the bracket securely with
the screws provided. Screws are
self-drilling in wood, plywood,
particle and chip board, and most
metal framing. If attaching to
masonry, you can buy suitable
screws and anchors at hardware
stores. Use a masonry drill to drill
the required holes.

6, Using the wrench, back out the
four leg levelers at least two turns.
See your installation guide for
more leveling information before
positioning range.
7, Slide the range into place. Be sure
rear leg leveler fully engages the
slot in the 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.

vent accidental tipping
of the range from ab
normal usage, including ex-
cessive ioad_ng of the oven

wall or floor by _nstallling the
Anti.Tip device suppllied. If the
range is moved foe' cleaning,
ser'eic_ng or any reason, be
sure the £nti.T_p device _s re.
engaged properly when the
range _s slid back in the open-
_ng, Failure to do so could
e_sult in the range tipping o,'
personal injue_r° To _nspect the
anti.tip device, remove the
storage drawer and look to
see if the rear leg aeveler fullly
engages the slier _n the
bracket,
_mpo,_ant: To insure safety for
yourself, family and home, please read
your Owner's Manual carefully. Keep it
handy for reference. Pay close attention
to Safety Sections. BE SURE your
appliance is installed and grounded by a
qualified technician.
•DO NOT leave children alone or
unattended near an appliance in use.
oTEACH CHILDREN not to play with
controls or any part of the appliance,
and not to sit, climb or stand on the
door, or any other part of the appliance.
a
o
CAUTBON: NEVER STORE: items
of interest to children on the
backguard or in cabinets above the
appliance, Children climbing on the
appliance could be seriously injured.
KEEP THIS book for later use.
NEVER USE your appliance for
warming or heating the room.
NEVER TRY to repair or replace any
part of the appliance unless instruc-
tions are given in this manual. All other
work should be done by a qualified
technician.
o ALWAYS KEEP combustible walt
coverings, curtains, dish cloths,
towels, potholders, and other linens a
safe distance from the appliance.
o NEVER HEAT unopened food
containers, Pressure buildup can
cause the container to burst and
cause injury.
o NEVER LEAVE jars or cans of fat or
drippings in your oven.
o ALWAYS KEEP the oven and
surface unit areas free from things that
will burn. Food, wooden utensils, and
grease buildup could catch fire.
Plastic utensils could melt and canned
foods could explode. Your appliance
should never be used as a storage
area.
o ALWAYS KEEP your appliance clear
of things that will burn (gasoline and
other flammable vapors or liquids).
oNEVER TRY to clean a hot surface.
Some cleaners produce noxious
fumes, and wet cloths or sponges
could cause steam burns.
NEVER WEAR loose fitting clothing
when using your appliance.
NEVER USE a towel or other bulky
cloth as a potholder, and make sure
the potholder is dry. Moist potholders
and wet cloths or sponges could
cause steam burns. DO HOT let
potholders touch hot heating elements
4

o DO NOT touch heating elements,
surfaces near them, or interior oven
surfaces. These may be hot enough to
cause burns even though they are
dark in color. During and after use, do
not touch or let clothing or flammable
material contact the elements or hot
surfaces until they have had time to
coo!. Other surfaces near the oven
vent openings, oven door and
window, and cooktop surfaces may
also be hot enough to cause burns.
• ONLY SOME kinds of glass or
ceramic cookware can be used for
cooktop cooking. Make sure the
cookware you choose to use is
designed for cooktop cooking without
breaking due to the sudden tempera-
ture change.
oALWAYS USE care when touching
cooktop elements. They will retain
heat after the range has been turned
off.
o NEVER BLOCK the oven air vent
under the right rear element.
oCOOKWARIE USED for cooktop
cooking should be flat on the bottom
and large enough to cover the heating
area being used. Undersized utensils
expose the heating element and may
result in direct contact or ignition of
clothing.
•ALWAYS USE drip bowls to prevent
wiring and component damage. Do
not use aluminum liners or foil in drip
bowls. Improper use may result in risk
of electrical shock or fire.
NEVER LEAVE surface units
unattended at high settings. Boilovers
result in smoking or greasy spills
which could catch fire.
ALWAYS TURN utensil handles
inward and away from other surface
units to reduce the risk of burns,
ignition, unintended contact, and
spillage.
NEVER put heating elements in
water.
PLACE OVEN RACKS in the
desired position while the oven is
cool. If racks must be moved while
oven is hot, do not let potholder
contact the hot oven element.
oAFTER BROIILIING, always take
the broiler pan and grid out of the
oven and clean them. Leftover
grease in the broiler pan could catch
fire the next time you use your oven.
oALWAYS USt_ care when opening
the oven door. Let hot air and steam
escape before moving foods.
°_EVER USr_ aluminum foil to line the
oven bottom. Improper use of foil could
result in the risk of electrical shock and
fire.

manual. Follow all cleaning
instructions. Be sure to remove broiler
pan and grid before the self-clean
cycle.
° NEVER RUB, move or damage the
door gasket on self-cleaning ranges.
o NEVER "tRY to clean utensils,
