IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING!
For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire,
electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.

WARNING ANTI-TIP DEVICE

All ranges can tip and injury could result.
To prevent accidental tipping of the range, attach it to the wall and floor by installing the
Anti-Tip device supplied.
To check if the device is installed and engaged properly, remove the kick panel or storage
drawer and inspect the rear leveling leg. Make sure it fits securely into the slot.
If you pull the range out from the wall for any reason, make sure the device is properly engaged
when you push the range back against the wall. If it is not, there is a possible risk of the range
tipping over and causing injury if you or a child stand, sit or lean on an open door.
Please refer to the Anti-Tip device information in this manual. Failure to take this precaution
could result in tipping of the range and injury.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

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.
Fluorescent light bulbs contain mercury. If your model has a surface light, you must recycle the
fluorescent light bulb according to local, state and federal codes.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

COOK MEAT AND POULTRY THOROUGHLY…
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.

SURFACE COOKING UNITS—ALL MODELS

Use proper pan size—select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface
unit heating element. The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of the surface unit
to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of cookware to
surface unit will also improve efficiency.

WARNING!
PREPARATION
Your range, like many other household items, is heavy and can settle into soft floor coverings
such as cushioned vinyl or carpeting. When moving the range on this type of flooring, use care,
and it is recommended that these simple and inexpensive instructions be followed.
Installing Leveling

Temperature Limiter (glass cooktops only)

Every radiant surface unit has a
temperature limiter.
The temperature limiter protects the
glass cooktop from getting too hot.
The temperature limiter may cycle the
units off for a time if:
■ The pan boils dry.
■ The pan bottom is not flat.
■ The pan is off center.
■ There is no pan on the unit.

Do not overfill cookware with fat that
may spill over when adding food.

metal can bond to glass cooktops. An

Wok Cooking
We recommend that you use only a flat-

local retail store.
Do not use woks that have support rings.
Placing the ring over the surface unit
will cause a build-up of heat that will
damage the cooktop.

Using the timed features for convection baking. (on some models)
The oven will turn on immediately and cook for a selected length of time. At the end of the cooking time the
oven will turn off automatically.
You will hear a fan while cooking with this feature. The fan will stop when the door is opened but the heat
will not turn off.
NOTE: Foods that spoil easily–such as milk, eggs, fish, stuffings, poultry and pork–should not be allowed to
sit for more than 1 hour before or after cooking. Room temperature promotes the growth of harmful bacteria.
Be sure that the oven light is off because heat from the bulb will speed harmful bacteria growth.

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.
For Best Results
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 flavor of baked
goods.
For best results with your old favorite
recipes, use margarine, butter or stick
spreads containing at least 70%
vegetable oil.

Adjust the oven thermostat—Do it yourself!
You may find that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. Use your 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 degrees.
NOTE: This adjustment will not affect the broiling or the self-cleaning (on some models) temperatures.
The adjustment will be retained in memory after a power failure.

Cleaning the glass cooktop. (on some models)
Clean the glass surface with cleaning cream before you use the cooktop for the first time. Also, clean the glass
surface after each use. This helps protect the top and makes clean-up easier.
To clean the cooktop seal around the edge of the glass, let a wet cloth rest on it for a few minutes, then wipe
clean. Use a mild detergent if needed.
Do not use a knife or any sharp object on the seal because it will cut or damage it.
