ANTI-TIP DEVICE

To reduce the risk of tipping the range, the range must be secured by a properly installed anti-tip bracket. See installation

instructions for complete details before attempting to install.

For Freestanding Ranges:

To check if the bracket is installed and engaged properly, look underneath the range to see that the anti-tip arm attached

to the side panel is engaged in the bracket. On some models, the storage drawer or kick panel can be removed for easier

inspection. If visual inspection is not possible, slide the range forward, conﬁ rm the anti-tip bracket is securely attached to

the ﬂ oor or wall, and slide the range back so the anti-tip arm slides just under the anti-tip bracket. If the range is pulled

from the wall for any reason, always repeat this procedure to verify the range is properly secured by the anti-tip bracket.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING

WARNING

Tip-Over Hazard

A child or adult can tip the range and be killed. Verify the anti-tip bracket has been

properly installed and engaged to the ﬂ oor or wall. Ensure the anti-tip bracket is re-

engaged when the range is moved by sliding the anti-tip arm just under the bracket.

Do not operate the range without the anti-tip bracket in place and engaged. Failure

to follow these instructions can result in death or serious burns to children or

adults.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING

GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Use this appliance for its intended purpose as described in this Owner’s Manual.

• Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualiﬁ ed installer in accordance with the provided

installation instructions.

• Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your range unless it is speciﬁ cally recommended in this manual. All

other servicing should be referred to a qualiﬁ ed technician.

• Before performing any service, unplug the range or disconnect the power supply at the household distribution panel

by removing the fuse or switching off the circuit breaker.

• Do not leave children alone - children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where an appliance is in use.

They should never be allowed to climb, sit or stand on any part of the appliance.

• CAUTION: Do not store items of interest to children above a range or on the backguard of a range - children

climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously injured.

• Use only dry potholders - moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let the

potholders touch hot heating areas. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of pot holders.

• Never use your appliance for warming or heating the room.

• Do not touch surface elements, areas near the elements or interior surfaces of the oven. These surfaces may be

hot enough to burn even though they are dark in color. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other

ﬂ ammable materials contact the surface elements, areas nearby the surface units or any interior area of the oven;

allow sufﬁ cient time for cooling ﬁ rst. Other surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to cause burns.

Potentially hot surfaces include the cooktop, areas facing the cooktop, oven vent opening, surfaces near the opening

and crevices around the oven door.

• Do not heat unopened food containers. Pressure could build up and the container could burst, causing an injury.

• Do not use aluminum foil to line drip pans or anywhere in the oven, except as described in this manual. Foil can trap

heat or melt, resulting in damage to the product and a shock or ﬁ re hazard.

• Avoid scratching or impacting glass doors, cook tops or control panels. Doing so may lead to glass breakage. Do not

cook on a product with broken glass. Shock, ﬁ re or cuts may occur.

• Cook meat and poultry thoroughly - meat to at least an internal temperature of 160°F and poultry to at least an internal

temperature of 180°F. Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against foodborne illness.

• Do not store or use ﬂ ammable materials in an oven or near the cooktop, including paper, plastic, pot holders, linens,

wall coverings, curtains, drapes and gasoline or other ﬂ ammable vapors and liquids.

• Never wear loose-ﬁ tting or hanging garments while using the appliance. These garments may ignite if they contact hot

surfaces causing severe burns.

• Do not let cooking grease or other ﬂ ammable materials accumulate in or near the range. Grease in the oven or on the

cooktop may ignite.

• Clean ventilating hoods frequently. Grease should not be allowed to accumulate on the hood or ﬁ lter.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING

• Do not use water on grease ﬁ res. Never pick up a ﬂ aming pan. Turn the controls off. Smother a ﬂ aming pan on a

surface element by covering the pan completely with a well-ﬁ tting lid, cookie sheet or ﬂ at tray. Use a multi-purpose dry

chemical or foam-type ﬁ re extinguisher.

• If there is a ﬁ re in the oven during baking, smother the ﬁ re by closing the oven door and turning the oven off, or by

using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type ﬁ re extinguisher.

• If there is a ﬁ re in the oven during self-clean, turn the oven off and wait for the ﬁ re to go out. Do not force the door

open. Introduction of fresh air at self-clean temperatures may lead to a burst of ﬂ ame from the oven. Failure to follow

this instruction may result in severe burns.

WARNING

IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE, TAKE THE FOLLOWING STEPS

TO PREVENT THE FIRE FROM SPREADING

• Never leave the range unattended while a surface element is ON. Boil overs cause smoking and greasy spillovers that

may catch on ﬁ re.

• Never leave oil unattended while frying. If allowed to heat beyond its smoking point, oil may ignite resulting in ﬁ re that

may spread to surrounding cabinets. Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible to monitor oil temperature.

• To avoid oil spillover and ﬁ re, use a minimum amount of oil when shallow pan-frying and avoid cooking frozen foods

with excessive amounts of ice.

• Use proper pan size - select cookware having ﬂ at bottoms large enough to cover the surface heating element.

The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of the element to direct contact and may result in ignition of

clothing. Proper relationship of cookware to surface heating element will also improve efﬁ ciency.

• Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, earthenware or other glazed containers are suitable for cooktop service;

others may break because of the sudden change in temperature.

• To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of ﬂ ammable materials and spillage, the handle of a container should be

turned toward the center of the range without extending over nearby heating elements.

• When preparing ﬂ aming foods under a hood, turn the fan on.

• If power is lost to an electric cooktop while a surface element is ON, the surface element will turn back on as soon as

power is restored. In the event of power loss, failure to turn all surface element knobs to the OFF position may result

in ignition of items on or near the cooktop, leading to serious injury or death.

WARNING

COOKTOP SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

• Use care when touching the cooktop. The glass surface of the cooktop will retain heat after the controls have been

turned off.

• Do not cook on a broken cooktop. If glass cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the

broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualiﬁ ed technician immediately.

• Avoid scratching the glass cooktop. The cooktop can be scratched with items such as knives, sharp instruments,

rings or other jewelry, and rivets on clothing.

• Do not place or store items that can melt or catch ﬁ re on the glass cooktop, even when it is not being used. If the

cooktop is inadvertently turned on, they may ignite. Heat from the cooktop or oven vent after it has been turned off

may also cause them to ignite.

• Use a ceramic cooktop cleaner and a

ceramic cooktop cleaning pad to clean the cooktop. Wait until the cooktop cools

and the indicator light goes out before cleaning. A wet sponge or cloth on a hot surface can cause steam burns. Some

cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface. Note: Sugar spills are an exception. They should be

scraped off while still hot using an oven mitt and a scraper. See the Cleaning the glass cooktop section for detailed

instructions.

• Read and follow all instructions and warnings on the cleaning cream label.

WARNING

RADIANT COOKTOP SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (Some models)

• Do not immerse or soak the removable surface cooking elements. Do not put them in a dishwasher. Do not self-clean

the surface cooking elements in the oven. Doing so may cause them to fail, resulting in a burn hazard or ﬁ re hazard.

• To avoid the possibility of a burn or an electric shock, always be certain that the controls for all surface elements are

at the OFF position, and that all coils are cool before attempting to lift or remove a coil cooking element.

• Be sure the drip pans are not covered and are in place. Their absence during cooking could damage range parts and

wiring.

• Do not use aluminum foil to line drip pans. Foil can trap heat or melt, resulting in damage to the product and a shock

or ﬁ re hazard.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

• Stand away from the range when opening the oven door. Hot air or steam which escapes can cause burns ro hands,

face and/or eyes.

• Keep the oven vent unobstructed.

• Keep the oven free from grease build-up. Grease in the oven may ignite.

• Place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not let potholder

contact the hot heating element in the oven.

• When using cooking or roasting bags in the oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.

• Pull the oven rack to the stop-lock position when loading and unloading food from the oven. This helps prevent burns

from touching hot surfaces of the door and oven walls.

• Do not leave items such as paper, cooking utensils or food in the oven when not in use. Items stored in an oven can

ignite.

• Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven bottom. Foil can trap heat or melt, resulting in damage to the product and a

shock hazard or ﬁ re hazard.

WARNING

OVEN SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

• The purpose of the warming drawer is to hold hot cooked foods at serving temperature. Bacteria will grow in food

while it is below 140 °F. Do not put cold food in warming drawer. Do not heat food for more than 2 hours. Failure to

follow these instructions may result in foodborne illness.

• Do not leave paper products, plastics, canned food or combustible materials in the drawer. They may ignite.

• Do not touch the heating element or the interior surface of the drawer. These surfaces may be hot enough to cause

burns.

• Use care when opening the drawer. Open the drawer a crack and let hot air or steam escape before removing or

replacing food. Hot air or steam that escapes can cause burns to hands, face and/ or eyes.

• Do not use aluminum foil to line the lower drawer. The foil will trap heat below, and upset the performance of the oven.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (Some Models)

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

USING THE SURFACE COOKING ELEMENTS

7

Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model.

SURFACE COOKING CONTROLS

• Your surface elements and controls are designed to give you a variety of heat settings for surface element cooking.

• At both LO and HI positions, there is a slight niche, so the control clicks at those positions. Hi marks the highest

setting; LO marks the lowest setting.

• In a quiet kitchen, you may hear slight clicking sounds during cooking, indicating heat settings selected are being

maintained.

• Switching heats to higher settings always shows a quicker change in temperature than switching to lower settings.

HOW TO SET THE CONTROLS

1. Push the control knob in.

2. Turn either clockwise or counterclockwise to the desired heat setting.

• The control must be pushed in to set only from the OFF position.

• When the control is in any position other than OFF, you can turn it without pushing in.

• Be sure you turn the control to OFF when you ﬁ nish cooking. An indicator light will glow

when ANY surface element is on.

HEAT SETTING GUIDE

• HI - Quick start for cooking; bring water to a boil.

• MEDIUM HIGH - Fast fry, pan broil; maintain a fast boil on a large amount of food.

• MED - Sauté and brown; maintain a slow boil on a large amount of food.

• MEDIUM LOW - Cereal; maintain the serving temperature of most foods.

• LO - Cook after starting at HI; cook with little water in in a covered pan. Use to steam rice.

NOTE:

1. At HI or MEDIUM HIGH, never leave food unattended. Boil overs cause smoking; greasy

spillovers may catch ﬁ re.

2. At LO, melt chocolate, butter on a small element.

COOKING TIPS

• Use medium- or heavyweight cookware. Aluminum cookware conducts heat faster than other metals. Cast-iron and

coated cast-iron cookware is slow to absorb heat., but generally cooks evenly at low or medium heat settings. Steel

pans may cook unevenly if not combined with other metals.

• Do not overﬁ ll cookware with fat that may spill over when adding food. Frosty foods bubble vigorously. Watch foods

frying at high temperatures. Keep range and hood clean from accumulated grease.

• To conserve the most cooking energy, pans should be ﬂ at on the bottom, have straight sides and tight-ﬁ tting lids.

Match the size of the saucepan to the size of the surface element. A pan that extends more than an inch beyond the

edge of the drip pan, traps heat, which causes “crazing” (ﬁ ne hairline cracks) on porcelain, and discoloration ranging

from blue to dark gray on chrome drip pans.

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

USING THE OVEN

The OVEN TEMP knob is located on the control panel on the front of the range.

OVEN TEMPERATURE CONTROLS

• To use the oven, simply turn the knob to the desired cooking temperatures, which are

marked in 25°F increments on the dial. OVEN TEMP maintains the temperature you set,

from 200°F to BROIL.

• The Oven Cycling Light glows until the oven reaches your selected temperature, then

goes off and on with the oven unit(s) during cooking.

OVEN TEMP

OVEN SHELVES

• The shelves are designed with stop-locks so when placed correctly on the shelf supports,

they will stop before coming completely out of the oven and will not tilt when you are

removing food from them or placing food on them.

• When placing cookware on a shelf, pull the shelf out to the bump on the shelf support.

Place the cookware on the shelf, then slide the shelf back into the oven. This will

eliminate reaching into the hot oven.

• To remove the shelves from the oven, pull them toward you, tilt front end upward and

pull them out.

• To replace, place the shelf on the shelf support with stop-locks (curved extension of

shelf) facing up and toward the back of the oven. Tilt up the front and push the shelf

toward the back of the oven until it goes past the bump on the shelf support. Then lower

the front of the shelf and push it all the way back.

Bump

OVEN SHELF POSITIONS

• The oven has four shelf supports - A (bottom), B, C, and D (top).

• Shelf positions for cooking are suggested on Baking and Roasting pages.

• Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottoms. The foil will trap heat below and upset the performance of the oven.

Foil can melt and permanently damage the oven bottom. Damage from improper use of aluminum foil is not covered

by the product warranty.

• Foil may be used to catch spills by placing a sheet on a lower rack, several inches below the food. Do not use more

foil than necessary, and never entirely cover an oven rack this aluminum foil. Keep foil at least 1 1/2” from oven walls

to prevent poor heat circulation.

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

USING THE OVEN FOR BAKING OR ROASTING

To avoid possible burns, place the shelves in the desired position before you turn the oven on.

HOW TO SET YOUR OVEN FOR BAKING OR ROASTING

1. Position the shelf or shelves in the oven. If cooking on two shelves at the same time, stagger the pans for best heat

circulation.

2. Close oven door. Turn OVEN TEMP knob clockwise to desired temperature. Preheat oven for at least 10 minutes if

preheating is necessary.

3. Place food in oven on center of shelf. Allow at least 2 inches between edge of bake ware and oven wall or adjacent

cookware.

4. Check the food to see if it is done at the minimum time on the recipe. Cook longer if necessary. Turn OVEN TEMP

knob to OFF and remove the food.

SHELF POSITIONS

• Most baking is done on the second shelf position (B) or the third shelf positon (C) from the bottom.

• When baking 3 or 4 items, use two shelves positioned on the second and fourth sets of supports (B & D) from the

bottom of the oven.

• Bake angel food cakes on the ﬁ rst shelf position (A) from the bottom of the oven.

• Roasting is usually done on the bottom shelf position (A).

PREHEATING

• Preheating the oven takes about 10 minutes.

• Preheat the oven only when necessary, usually for baking.

• Most roasts will cook satisfactorily without preheating.

• If you ﬁ nd preheating is necessary, keep an eye on the Oven Cycle light and put food in the oven promptly after the

light goes out. The oven cycle light will then cycle on and off with the oven thermostat as it cycles to maintain the oven

temperature.

• Follow a tested recipe and measure the ingredients carefully. If you are using a package mix, follow label directions.

• Do not open the oven door during a baking operation - heat will be lost and the baking time might need to be

extended. This could cause poor baking results. If you must open the door, open it partially - only 3 or 4 inches - and

close it as quickly as possible.

• Roasting is cooking by dry heat. Tender meat or poultry can be roasted uncovered in your oven. Roasting

temperatures, which should be low and steady, keep spattering to a minimum. When roasting, it is not necessary to

sear, baste, cover, or add water to your meat.

• Frozen roasts of beef, pork, lamb, etc., can be started without thawing, but allow 10 to 25 minutes of additional time

per pound of meat (10 minutes per pound for roasts under 5 pounds, more time for larger roasts).

• Thaw most frozen poultry before roasting to ensure even cooking. Some commercial frozen poultry can be cooked

successfully without thawing. Follow directions given on package label.

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

ADJUST THE OVEN THERMOSTAT - EASY TO DO YOURSELF

You may ﬁ nd that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. Use you new oven for a few weeks to

become more familiar with it. If you still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the thermostat

yourself.

Do not use thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of your oven.

These thermometers may vary 20-40°F.

Note: This adjustment will not affect the broiling temperatures. The adjustment will be retained after a power

failure.

TO ADJUST THE THERMOSTAT WITH THIS TYPE OF KNOB

1. Pull the OVEN TEMP knob off the range and look at the back side. To

make an adjustment, loosen (approximately one turn), but do not completely

remove, the two screws on the back of the knob.

2. With the back of the knob facing you, hold the outer edge of the knob with one

hand and turn the front of the knob with the other hand.

To increase the oven temperature, move the top screw toward the right. You will

hear a click for each notch you move the knob.

To decrease the oven temperature, move the top screw toward the left.

Each click will change the oven temperature approximately 10°F. (The range is plus

or minus 60°F from the arrow.) We suggest that you make the adjustment one click

from the original setting and check oven performance before making any additional

adjustments.)

3. After the adjustment is made, retighten screws so that they are snug, but be

careful not to over tighten.

4. Replace the knob, matching the ﬂ at area of the knob to the shaft, and check

performance.

THE TYPE OF MARGARINE WILL AFFECT BAKING PERFORMANCE

• 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.

• Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies, pastries, cookies, or candies are made with low-fat spreads. The lower the fat

content of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become.

• Federal standards require products labeled “margarine” to contain at least 80% fat by weight. Low-fat spreads, on the

other hand, contain less fat and more water. The high moisture content of these spreads affects the texture and ﬂ avor

of baked goods. For best results with your old favorite recipes, use margarine, butter or stick spreads containing at

least 70% vegetable oil.

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

USING THE OVEN FOR BROILING

Broiling may be slightly different from any previous broiling you may be acquainted with, so be sure to read this

section completely.

HOW TO SET YOUR OVEN FOR BROILING

Broiling is cooking food by intense radiant heat from the upper element in the oven. Most ﬁ sh and tender cuts of meat can

be broiled. Follow these steps to keep spattering and smoking to a minimum.

1. If the meat has fat or gristle around the edge, cut vertical slashes through both about 2” apart. If desired, fat may be

trimmed, leaving a layer about 1/8” thick.

2. Place the meat on a broiler grid in a broiler pan designed for broiling. Always use the grid so the fat drips into the

broiler pan; otherwise the juices may become hot enough to catch ﬁ re.

3. Place the shelf in position C for most broiling.

4. Close the door. Always broil with the door closed.

5. Turn the OVEN TEMP knob clockwise to BROIL. You will feel a slight niche at the broil position.

6. Turn food only once during cooking.

7. Turn the OVEN TEMP knob to OFF. Serve food immediately, and leave the pan outside the oven to cool during the

meal for easiest cleaning.

BROILING GUIDE

• If desired, marinate meats or chicken before broiling, or brush with barbecue sauce the last 5 to 10 minutes only.

• Frozen steaks can be broiled by positioning the oven shelf at the next lowest shelf position and increasing cooking

time given in this guide 1 1/2 times per side.

• When arranging food on pan, do not let fatty edges hang over sides, because the dripping fat will soil the oven.

• If your range is connected to 208 volts, rare steaks may be broiled by preheating the broiler and positioning the oven

shelf one position higher.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Be sure electrical power is off and all surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the range.

Proper care and cleaning are important so that your range will give you efﬁ cient and satisfactory service. Follow

these directions carefully in caring for your range to assure safe and proper maintenance.

WARNING

Tip-Over Hazard

A child or adult can tip the range and be killed. Verify the anti-tip bracket has been

properly installed and engaged to the ﬂ oor or wall. Ensure the anti-tip bracket is re-

engaged when the range is moved by sliding the anti-tip arm just under the bracket.

Do not operate the range without the anti-tip bracket in place and engaged. Failure

to follow these instructions can result in death or serious burns to children or

adults.

SURFACE ELEMENTS AND DRIP PANS

To clean the surface units, turn the control to the highest setting for a minute.

The coils will burn off any soil.

To remove a surface element:

• To remove the drip pans for cleaning, the surface elements must be

removed ﬁ rst. Make sure the surface elements are cool before touching

them.

• Lift the surface element about 1” above the drip pan and pull it out.

• Do not lift the surface element more than 1”. If you do, it may not lie ﬂ at on

the drip pan when you plug it back in.

• NOTE: Repeated lifting of the surface element more than 1 inch above the

drip pan can permanently damage the receptacle.

To replace a surface element:

• Replace the drip pan into the recess in the cooktop. Make sure the opening

in the pan lines up with the receptacle.

• Insert the terminals of the surface element through the opening in the drip

pan and into the receptacle.

• Guide the surface element into place, so it rests evenly.

To clean the drip pans:

• Drip pans can be cleaned in the dishwasher of by hand. If you use a

scouring pad, rub lightly to prevent scratching.

• Q: Can I cover the drip pans with foil?

• A: No, because using foil so close to the receptacle could cause

shock, ﬁ re or damage to the range.

CAUTION:

• Do not immerse the surface elements in liquids of any kind.

• Do not clean the surface units in a dishwasher.

• Do not bend the surface unit plug terminals.

• Do not attempt to clean, adjust or in any way repair the plug-in receptacle.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

LIFT-UP COOKTOP

• Clean the area under the cooktop often. Built-up soil, especially grease,

may catch on ﬁ re.

• To make cleaning easier, the cooktop may be lifted up and propped open.

• Be sure all surface elements are turned off before raising the cooktop.

• Remove the front surface and drip pans. See the Surface Elements and

Drip Pans section. Grasp the two front surface element wells and lift the

cooktop up and prop it open with the prop rod provided.

• After cleaning underneath the cooktop with hot, soapy water and a clean

cloth, hold the cooktop up, return the prop rod to its storage position and

lower the cooktop until it snaps into position. Be careful not to pinch your

ﬁ ngers. Replace the two front drip pans and surface elements. See the

Surface Elements and Dip Pans section.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

OVEN HEATING ELEMENTS

• Do not clean the bake element or the broil element. Any soil will burn off

when the elements are heated.

• The bake element can be lifted gently to clean the oven ﬂ oor. Do not

attempt to clean any oven surface when any burner element is on. Always

wear protective hand-wear when cleaning interior oven surfaces or

surfaces near heating elements. If spillovers, residue or ash accumulate

around the bake element, gently wipe around the element with warm water.

GLASS WINDOW (on some models)

• To clean the outside glass ﬁ nish, use a glass cleaner. Rinse and polish with a dry cloth. Avoid scratching or impacting

the glass window. Doing so may cause the glass to break.

CONTROL KNOBS

• The control knobs may be removed for easier cleaning.

• Make sure the knobs are in the OFF positions and pull them straight off the stems for cleaning.

• The knobs can be cleaned in a dishwasher or they may also be washed with soap and water. Make sure the insides

of the knobs are dry before replacing.

• Replace the knobs in the OFF position to ensure proper placement.

PAINTED SURFACES

• Painted surfaces include the sides, control panel, door and kick panel. Clean these with soap and water or a vinegar

and water solution.

• Do not use commercial oven cleaners, cleansing powders, steel wool or harsh abrasives on any painted surface.

PORCELAIN OVEN INTERIOR

• With proper care, the porcelain enamel interior will retain its attractive ﬁ nish for many years.

• Soap and water will normally do the job. Heavy spattering or spillovers may require cleaning with a mild abrasive

cleanser. Soapy, wet pads may also be used. Do not allow food spills with a high sugar or acid content (such as

milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie ﬁ lling) to remain on the surface. They may cause dull spots even after

cleaning.

• Household ammonia may make the cleaning job easier. Place 1/2 cup ammonia in a shallow glass pan and leave in a

cold oven overnight. The ammonia fumes will help loosen the burned-on grease and food.

• When necessary, you may use a commercial oven cleaner. Follow the package directions.

Cautions about using spray-on oven cleaners:

• Do not spray the oven cleaner on the electrical controls and switches, because it could cause a short circuit and result

in sparking or ﬁ re.

• Do not directly spray oven cleaner onto the oven heating elements.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

PORCELAIN OVEN INTERIOR (continued)

Cautions about using spray-on oven cleaners:

• Do not allow a ﬁ lm from the cleaner to remain on the temperature sensor - it could cause the oven to heat improperly.

(The sensor is located at the top of the oven.) Carefully wipe the bulb clean after each oven cleaning, being careful

not to move the sensor since a change in its position could affect how the oven bakes.

• Do not spray any oven cleaner on the outside oven door, handles or any exterior surface of the oven, cabinet or

painted surfaces. The cleaner can damage these surfaces.

OVEN LIGHT REPLACEMENT (on some models)

The oven light bulb is covered with a removable glass cover that is held in place with a

bail-shaped wire. Remove the oven door, if desired, to reach the cover easily.

Be sure to let the light cover and bulb cool completely.

To remove the cover:

1. Hold a hand under the cover so it doesn’t fall when released. With the ﬁ ngers of the

same hand, ﬁ rmly push back the wire cover holder. Lift off the cover. Do not remove

any screws to remove the cover.

2. Do not touch the hot bulb with a wet cloth. Replace the bulb with a 40-watt appliance

bulb.

To replace the cover:

1. Place it into the groove of the light receptacle. Pull the wire forward to the center of

the cover, until it snaps into place. When in place, the wire holds the cover ﬁ rmly. Be

certain that the wire is in the depression in the center of the cover.

2. Connect the electrical power to the range.

WARNING

SHOCK OR BURN HAZARD

Before replacing the oven light bulb, disconnect the electrical power to the range at the main fuse or circuit

breaker panel. Failure to do so may result in electric shock or burn. Be sure to let the light cover and bulb cool

completely.

Proper installation is the responsibility of the installer.

Product failure due to improper installation is not covered under the Warranty.

WARNING THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED.

Before beginning the installation, switch the power off at the service panel and lock the service disconnecting means to

prevent power from being switched on accidentally. When the service disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely

fasten a prominent warning device, such as a tag, to the service panel.

FOR YOUR SAFETY:

• All rough-in and spacing dimensions must be met for safe 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 the lower drawer).

• To reduce the risk of burns or ﬁ re when reaching over hot surface elements, cabinet storage space above the cooktop

should be avoided. 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 must be

no deeper than 13”.

• Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualiﬁ ed technician.

• Make sure the cabinets and wall coverings around the range can withstand the temperatures (up to 200°F) generated

by the range.

WARNING

Tip-Over Hazard

• A child or adult can tip the range and be killed.

• Install the anti-tip bracket to the wall or ﬂ oor.

• Engage the range to the anti-tip bracket by sliding the range back so the anti-tip

arm slides under the anti-tip bracket.

PREPARE TO INSTALL THE RANGE

TOOLS YOU WILL NEED

PARTS INCLUDED

Anti-Tip Bracket Kit

(1) REMOVE SHIPPING MATERIALS

Remove packaging materials. Failure to remove packaging materials could result in

damage to the appliance.

(2) PREPARE THE OPENING

• Allow 2” spacing from the range to adjacent vertical walls above the cooktop surface. Allow 30” minimum clearance

between the surface elements and the bottom of unprotected wood or metal top cabinets, and 15” minimum between

the countertop and the adjacent cabinet bottom.

• To eliminate the risk of burns or ﬁ re when reaching over hot surface elements, cabinet storage space above the

cooktop should be avoided. If cabinet storage space is to be provided above the cooktop, the risk can be reduced by

installing a range hood that protrudes at least 5” beyond the front of the cabinets. Cabinets installed above a cooktop

may be no deeper than 13”.

Flooring under the range

• Your range, like many other household

items, is heavy and can settle into soft

ﬂ oor coverings such as cushioned vinyl or

carpeting.

• When moving the range on this type of ﬂ ooring,

it should be installed on a 1/4” thick sheet of

plywood (or similar material) as follows:

• When the ﬂ oor covering ends at the front of the

range, the area that the range will rest on should

be built up with plywood to the same level or

higher than the ﬂ oor covering. This will allow the

range to be moved for cleaning or servicing.
