Operating InstructionsSafety Information

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.

Operating InstructionsSafety Information

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

■ 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

WHEN COOKING PORK…

When cooking pork, follow the directions exactly and always cook

the meat to an internal temperature of at least 170°F. This assures

that, in the remote possibility that trichina may be present in the

meat, it will be killed and the meat will be safe to eat.

■ 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

■ 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.

■ For continuous-

cleaning models, do

not use oven cleaners

on any of the

continuous-cleaning

surfaces. Continuous-

cleaning surfaces can

be identified by their

rough surface finish.

WARNING!

Operating Instructions

Installation Instructions Safety Information

Troubleshooting TipsCustomer Service

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.

■ Never leave the surface

units unattended at

high heat settings.

Boilovers cause

smoking and greasy

spillovers that may

catch on fire.

■ Be sure the drip pans

and the vent duct are

not covered and are in

place. Their absence

during cooking could

damage range parts

and wiring.

■ Do not use aluminum

foil to line the drip

pans or anywhere in

the oven except as

described in this

manual. Misuse could

result in a shock, fire

hazard or damage to

the range.

■ 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.

■ Do not immerse or

soak the removable

surface units. Do not

put them in a

dishwasher.

■ When flaming foods

are under the hood,

turn the fan off. The

fan, if operating, may

spread the flame.

■ To avoid the possibility

of a burn or electric

shock, always be certain

that the controls for all

surface units are at the

OFF

position and all

coils are cool before

attempting to lift or

remove a unit.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.

READ ALL INFORMATION BEFORE USING.

■ Clean the cooktop with

caution. If a wet sponge

is used to wipe spills on

a hot cooktop, be

careful to avoid steam

burns.

■ 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 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.

■ Use a deep fat

thermometer whenever

possible to prevent

overheating fat beyond

the smoking point.
