A NOTE TO YOU
Thank you for buying a ROPER®appliance.
Your ROPER range gives you all the functionality of name brand appliances at a value price. To ensure that you
enjoy years of trouble-free operation, we developed this Use and Care Guide. It is full of valuable information
about how to operate and maintain your appliance properly and safely. Please read it carefully.
Also, complete and mail the Product Registration Card provided with your appliance. The card helps
us notify you about any new information on your appliance.
Please record your model’s information.
Whenever you call to request service for your appli-
ance, you need to know your complete model number
and serial number. You can find this information on the
model and serial number plate (see the diagrams on

RANGE SAFETY
Your safety is important to us.
This guide contains safety statements under warning
symbols. Please pay special attention to these symbols
and follow any instructions given. Here is a brief
explanation of the use of the symbol.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
This symbol alerts you to hazards such
as fire, electrical shock, or other injuries.
General
•Read all instructions before using
the range.
•Install or locate the range only in accor-
dance with the provided Installation
Instructions. The range must be installed
by a qualified installer. The range must
be properly connected to electrical
supply and grounded.
•WARNING: To reduce the risk of tipping
the appliance, the appliance must be
secured by a properly installed anti-tip
bracket. To check if the bracket is
installed properly, see “The anti-tip
bracket” on page 27.
•CAUTION: Do not store things children
might want above the range. Children
could be burned or injured while climb-
ing on it.
•Do not leave children alone or unat-
tended in area where the range is in use.
They should never be allowed to sit or
stand on any part of the range. They
could be burned or injured.
•Do not operate the range if it is
damaged or not working properly.
wWARNING To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury
to persons, or damage when using the range,
follow basic precautions, including the following:
continued on next page
•Do not use the range for warming or
heating the room. Persons could be
burned or injured, or a fire could start.
•Use the range only for its intended use
as described in this manual.
•Do not touch surface units, areas near
units, heating elements, or interior
surfaces of oven. Surface units and
heating elements may be hot even
though they are dark in color. Areas
near surface units and interior surfaces
of an oven become hot enough to
cause burns. During and after use, do
not touch or let clothing or other flam-
mable materials contact surface units,
areas near units, heating elements, or
interior surfaces of oven until they have
had sufficient time to cool. Other sur-
faces of the range, such as the oven
vent opening, the surface near the vent
opening, the cooktop, and the oven
door, could also become hot enough to
cause burns.

4
RANGE SAFETY
•Do not wear loose or hanging garments
when using the range. They could ignite
if they touch a hot surface unit and you
could be burned.
•Use only dry pot holders. Moist or damp
pot holders on hot surfaces could result
in burns from steam. Do not let pot
holder touch hot heating elements. Do
not use a towel or bulky cloth for a pot
holder. It could catch on fire.
•Keep range vents unobstructed.
•Do not heat unopened containers. They
could explode. The hot contents could
cause burns and container particles
could cause injury.
•Use only cookware approved for oven
use. Follow cookware manufacturer’s
instructions, especially when using glass
or plastic cookware.
•Do not store flammable materials on or
near the range. The fumes could create
an explosion and/or fire hazard.
When using the cooktop
•Ceramic glass cooktop model: Do not
cook on a broken cooktop. If the cook-
top should break, cleaning solutions and
spillovers could penetrate the broken
cooktop and create a risk of electrical
shock. Contact a qualified technician
immediately.
•Coil element cooktop models: Make sure
the reflector bowls are in place during
cooking. Cooking without reflector bowls
could subject the wiring and compo-
nents underneath them to damage.
•Coil element cooktop models: Do not
line reflector bowls with aluminum foil
or other liners. Improper installation of
these liners could result in a risk of
electric shock or fire.
•Select a pan with a flat bottom that is
about the same size as the surface unit.
If pan is smaller than the surface unit,
some of the heating element will be ex-
posed and could result in the igniting of
clothing or pot holders. Correct pan size
also improves cooking efficiency.
•Check to be sure glass cookware is safe
for use on the range. Only certain types
of glass, glass-ceramic, ceramic, earthen-
ware, or other glazed cookware are
suitable for cooktops without breaking due
to the sudden change in temperature.
•Never leave surface units unattended at
high heat settings. A boilover could result
and cause smoking and greasy spillovers
that could ignite.
•Turn pan handles inward, but not over
other surface units. This will help reduce
the chance of burns, igniting of flammable
materials, and spills due to bumping of
the pan.

5
RANGE SAFETY
When using the oven
•Always position oven rack(s) in desired
location while oven is cool. If a rack must
be removed while oven is hot, do not let
pot holder contact hot heating elements
in oven.
•Use care when opening oven door. Let
hot air or steam escape before removing
or replacing food.
Grease
•Grease is flammable. Do not allow
grease to collect around cooktop or in
vents. Wipe spillovers immediately.
•Do not use water on grease fires. Never
pick up a flaming pan. Smother flaming
pan on range by covering with a well-
fitting lid, cookie sheet, or flat tray.
Flaming grease outside of pan can be
extinguished with baking soda or, if
available, a multipurpose dry chemical or
foam-type extinguisher.
Care and cleaning
•Small amounts of formaldehyde and
carbon monoxide are given off in the
Self-Cleaning cycle from fiberglass
insulation and food decomposition.
Significant exposure to these substances
could cause cancer or reproductive
harm. Exposure can be minimized by
venting with a hood or open window and
wiping out excess food spills prior to
self-cleaning. – SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS –
•Do not use oven cleaners. No commer-
cial oven cleaner or oven liner protective
coating of any kind should be used in or
around any part of the oven.
•Before self-cleaning the oven, remove
broiler pan, broiler grid, oven racks, and
other cookware. Do not use your oven to
clean miscellaneous parts unless you
are instructed to do so in this Use and
Care Guide.
•Coil element cooktop models: Do not
soak removable heating elements in
water. The elements will be damaged
and shock or fire could result.
•Ceramic glass cooktop model: Clean
cooktop with care. Some cleaners could
produce noxious fumes if applied to a
hot surface. If a wet soft cloth is used to
wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be
careful to avoid steam burns.
•Do not clean door heat seal. It is
essential for a good seal. Care should
be taken not to rub, damage, or move
the seal. Clean only parts recommended
in this Use and Care Guide.
•Do not repair or replace any part of the
range unless specifically recommended
in this manual. All other servicing should
be referred to a qualified technician.
•Disconnect the electrical supply before
servicing the range.

Use the following chart as a guide.
USING YOUR RANGE
To get the best cooking results, you should use your range the correct way. This section tells
you what you need to know to use your range safely and efficiently.
USING THE SURFACE UNITS
wWARNING
Fire Hazard
Turn all controls off when done cooking.
Failure to do so can result in death, fire,
or burns.
Energy saving tips
•Match the pan to the surface unit size.
•The pan should have a flat bottom, straight sides,
and a well-fitting lid.
•To help shorten your cooking time, use the least
amount of liquid possible.
•Preheat your pans only when recommended and
for the shortest time possible.
•Start your food on a higher heat setting, then turn
the control to a lower setting to finish cooking.
•Place a filled pan on the surface unit before
turning it on.
•Coil element models: Keep your reflector bowls
clean for best heat reflection.
RECOMMENDED USE
•To start foods cooking.
•To bring liquids to a boil.
•To hold a rapid boil.
•To fry chicken or pancakes.
•For gravy, pudding, and icing.
•To cook large amounts of
vegetables.
•To keep food cooking after
starting it on a higher setting.
•To keep food warm until it’s
ready to serve.
