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 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 INFORMATION.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

WARNING!

For your safety, the information in this manual must be

followed to minimize the risk of fire or explosion, electric

shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury,

or loss of life.

WARNING

ANTI-TIP DEVICE

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement

Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of

substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects

or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to

warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.

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.

Operating Instructions

Installation Instructions Safety InformationTroubleshooting TipsCustomer Service

Use this appliance only for its intended purpose as

described in this Owner’s Manual.

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions

should be followed, including the following:

■ Be sure your appliance

is properly installed

and grounded by a

qualified technician in

accordance with the

provided installation

instructions.

■ Do not attempt to

repair or replace any

part of your range

unless it is specifically

recommended in this

manual. All other

servicing should be

referred to a qualified

technician.

■ Before performing any

service, disconnect the

range 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 sit

or stand on any part of

the appliance.

■ Do not allow anyone

to climb, stand or hang

on the door, storage

drawer or cooktop.

They could damage the

range and even tip it

over, causing severe

personal injury.

■ Do not store flammable

materials in an oven or

near the cooktop.

■

CAUTION:

Items of

interest to children

should not be stored in

cabinets above a range

or on the backsplash

of a range—children

climbing on the range

to reach items could be

seriously injured.

■ Never wear loose-fitting

or hanging garments

while using the

appliance. Be careful

when reaching for

items stored over the

range. Flammable

material could be

ignited if brought in

contact with hot surface

units or heating

elements and may

cause severe burns.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Troubleshooting TipsInstallation Instructions Customer ServiceOperating InstructionsSafety Information

■Use only dry pot

holders—moist or damp

pot holders on hot

surfaces may result in

burns from steam. Do

not let pot holders

touch hot surface units

or heating elements.

Do not use a towel or

other bulky cloth.

■For your safety, never

use your appliance

for warming or heating

the room.

■Do not store or use

combustible materials,

gasoline or other

flammable vapors and

liquids in the vicinity

of this or any other

appliance.

■Keep the hood and

grease filters clean

to maintain good

venting and to avoid

grease fires.

■Do not let cooking

grease or other

flammable materials

accumulate in or near

the range.

■Do not use water on

grease fires. Never pick

up a flaming pan. Turn

the controls off.

Smother a flaming pan

on a surface unit by

covering the pan

completely with a well-

fitting lid, cookie sheet

or flat tray. Use a multi-

purpose dry chemical

or foam-type fire

extinguisher.

Flaming grease outside

a pan can be put out by

covering it with baking

soda or, if available, by

using a multi-purpose

dry chemical or foam-

type fire extinguisher.

Flame in the oven can

be smothered

completely by closing

the oven door and

turning the oven off or

by using a multi-

purpose dry chemical

or foam-type fire

extinguisher.

Operating InstructionsSafety Information

■Do not touch the surface

units, the heating

elements or the interior

surface 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 flammable

materials contact, the

surface units, areas

nearby the surface units

or any interior area of

the oven; allow sufficient

time for cooling first.

Potentially hot surfaces

include the cooktop,

areas facing the

cooktop, oven vent

opening, surfaces near

the opening, crevices

around the oven door

and metal trim parts

above the door.

REMEMBER :

The inside

surface of the oven may

be hot when the door is

opened.

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.

■Stand away from the

range when opening

the oven door. Hot

air or steam which

escapes can cause

burns to hands, face

and/or eyes.

■ Do not heat unopened

food containers.

Pressure could build up

and the container could

burst, causing an injury.

■Keep the oven vent

unobstructed.

■Keep the oven free

from grease buildup.

■Place the oven shelf in

the desired position

while the oven is cool.

If shelves must be

handled when hot,

do not let pot holder

contact the heating

elements.

■Pulling out the shelf

to the stop-lock is a

convenience in lifting

heavy foods. It is also

a precaution against

burns from touching

hot surfaces of the

door or oven walls.

■When using cooking

or roasting bags in

the oven, follow the

manufacturer’s

directions.

■Do not use the oven

to dry newspapers. If

overheated, they can

catch on fire.

■Do not use the oven

for a storage area.

Items stored in an

oven can ignite.

■Do not leave paper

products, cooking

utensils or food in the

oven when not in use.

Operating InstructionsSafety Information

■Do not clean the door

gasket. The door gasket

is essential for a good

seal. Care should be

taken not to rub,

damage or move

the gasket.

■Clean only parts listed

in this Owner’s Manual.

■Do not use oven

cleaners on self-clean

models. No commercial

oven cleaner or oven

liner protective coating

of any kind should be

used in or around any

part of the oven.

Residue from oven

cleaners will damage

the inside of the oven

when the self-clean

cycle is used.

■Before self-cleaning

the oven, remove the

broiler pan, grid and

other cookware.

■Be sure to wipe up

excess spillage before

starting the self-

cleaning operation.

■If the self-cleaning

mode malfunctions,

turn the oven off

and disconnect the

power supply. Have

it serviced by a

qualified technician.

SELF-CLEANING OVEN

(on some models)

■Never leave the surface

units unattended at

high heat settings.

Boilovers cause

smoking and greasy

spillovers that may

catch on fire.

■Use little fat for

effective shallow or

deep fat frying. Filling

the pan too full of fat

can cause spillovers

when food is added.

■If a combination of oils

or fats will be used in

frying, stir together

before heating, or as

fats melt slowly.

■Always heat fat slowly,

and watch as it heats.

■ 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 flammable

materials and spillage,

the handle of a

container should be

turned toward the

center of the range

without extending over

nearby surface units.

■ Always turn the surface

units off before

removing cookware.

■When flaming foods

under the hood, turn

the fan on.

■Use a deep fat

thermometer whenever

possible to prevent

overheating fat beyond

the smoking point.

■Keep an eye on foods

being fried at high or

medium high heat

settings.

■Foods for frying should

be as dry as possible.

Frost on frozen foods

or moisture on fresh

foods can cause hot fat

to bubble up and over

the sides of the pan.

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.
