You can find them on a label behind the range door or behind the storage drawer or kick panel.

Read this Manual

Inside you will find many helpful hints on how to use and maintain your range properly. Just a little preventive care on your part can save you a great deal of time and money over the life of your range.

You'll find many answers to common problems in the Problem Solver section. Review our chart of Troubleshooting Tips first; it lists causes of minor operating problems that you can correct yourself.

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

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, carefully tip the range forward. The Anti-Tip device should engage and prevent the range from tipping over.

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.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:

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

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

WARNING!

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

■ 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.
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 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.

- 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.

• 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.

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.

OVEN

■ 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.

SURFACE COOKING UNITS

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.
- 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.
- 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.
■ 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. Do not self-clean the surface units in the oven.

■ When preparing flaming foods under the hood, turn the fan on.
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.
- 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.

READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.

Surface Cookware Tips (on some models)

Use medium- or heavy-weight cookware. Aluminum cookware conducts heat faster than other metals. Cast-iron and coated cast-iron cookware are slow to absorb heat, but generally cook evenly at low to medium heat settings. Steel pans may cook unevenly if not combined with other metals.

For best cooking results, pans should be flat on the bottom. Match the size of the saucepan to the size of the surface unit. The pan should not extend over the edge of the surface unit more than 1 inch.

Use only flat-bottomed woks.

Wok Cooking (on some models)

We recommend that you use only a flat-bottomed wok. They are available at your local retail store.

Do not use woks that have support rings. Use of these types of woks, with or without the ring in place, can be dangerous.

Placing the ring over the surface unit will cause a build-up of heat that will damage the porcelain cooktop. Do not try to use such woks without the ring. You could be seriously burned if the wok tipped over.

Using the oven.

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

The oven has 6 shelf positions.

Before you begin...

The shelves have stop-locks, so that when placed correctly on the supports, they will stop before coming completely out, and will not tilt.

When placing and removing cookware, pull the shelf out to the bump on the shelf support.

To remove a shelf, pull it toward you, tilt the front end up and pull it out.

To replace, place the end of the shelf (stoplocks) on the support, tilt up the front and push the shelf in.

Roasting R, A or B

Preheating and Pan Placement

Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it. To preheat, set the oven at the correct temperature. Preheating is necessary for good results when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and breads.

For ovens without a preheat indicator light or tone, preheat 10 minutes.

Baking results will be better if baking pans are centered in the oven as much as possible. Pans should not touch each other or the walls of the oven. If you need to use two shelves, stagger the pans so one is not directly above the other, and leave approximately 3.81 cm (1½") from the front of the pan to the front of the shelf.

Using the oven.

Aluminum Foil

Illustration of a hand using a pen to write on a grid-patterned object (no text or symbols visible)

Never entirely cover a shelf with aluminum foil. This will disturb the heat circulation and result in poor baking.

You can use aluminum foil to line the broiler pan and broiler grid. However, you must mold the foil tightly to the grid and cut slits in it just like the grid.

How to Set the Oven for Broiling

1 Place the meat or fish on the broiler grid in the broiler pan.
2 Follow suggested shelf positions in the Broiling guide.
3 Turn the Oven Temperature knob to BROIL.

Leave the door open to the broil stop position. The door stays open by itself, yet the proper temperature is maintained in the oven.

Broiling Guide

The size, weight, thickness, starting temperature, and your preference of doneness will affect broiling times. This guide is based on meats at refrigerator temperature.

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 11–22°C. (20–40°F).

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

Care and cleaning of the range.

If your range is removed for cleaning, servicing or any reason, be sure the anti-tip device is re-engaged properly when the range is replaced. Failure to take this precaution could result in tipping of the range and cause injury.

Control Panel and Knobs

Clean up spatters with a damp cloth. Remove heavier soil with warm, soapy water. Do not use abrasives of any kind on the control panel.

The control knobs may be removed for easier cleaning. To remove a knob, pull it straight off the stem. Wash the knobs in soap and water but do not soak.

Pull the knob straight off the stem.

Oven Vent (on some models)

The oven is vented through an opening under the right rear surface unit. Never cover the opening with aluminum foil or any other material.

Coil models oven vent location.

Painted Surfaces

Painted surfaces include the sides of the range and sides of the door trim. Clean these with soap and water or a vinegar and water solution.

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

Care and cleaning of the range.

Porcelain Oven Interior (for standard clean models only)

With proper care, the porcelain enamel finish on the inside of the oven—top, bottom, sides, back and inside of the door—will stay new-looking for years.

Let the range cool before cleaning. We recommend that you wear rubber gloves when cleaning the range.

Soap and water will normally do the job. Heavy spattering or spillovers may require cleaning with a mild abrasive cleaner. Soapy, wet metal 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 filling) to remain on the surface. They may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.

Household ammonia may make the cleaning job easier. Place 1/2 cup in a shallow glass or pottery container in a cold oven overnight. The ammonia fumes will help loosen the burned-on grease and food.

If necessary, you may use an oven cleaner. Follow the package directions.

Do not spray oven cleaner on the electrical controls and switches because it could cause a short circuit and result in sparking or fire.

Do not allow a film from the cleaner to build up 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 sensor clean after each oven cleaning, being careful not to move the sensor as a change in its position could affect how the oven bakes.

Do not spray any oven cleaner on the oven door, handles or any exterior surface of the oven, cabinets or painted surfaces. The cleaner can damage these surfaces.

Porcelain Enamel Cooktop

The porcelain enamel finish is sturdy but breakable if misused. This finish is acid-resistant. However, any acidic foods spilled (such as fruit juices, tomato or vinegar) should not be permitted to remain on the finish.

If acids spill on the cooktop while it is hot, use a dry paper towel or cloth to wipe it up right away. When the surface has cooled, wash with soap and water. Rinse well.

For other spills such as fat spatterings, wash with soap and water or cleansing powders after the surface has cooled. Rinse well. Polish with a dry cloth.

Oven Shelves

Clean the shelves with an abrasive cleanser or steel wool.

The gasket is designed with a gap at the bottom to allow for proper air circulation.

Do not rub or clean the door gasket—it has an extremely low resistance to abrasion.

If you notice the gasket becoming worn, frayed or damaged in any way or if it has become displaced on the door, you should have it replaced.

Lift-Off Oven Door

The oven door is removable for cleaning. Do not lift the door by the handle.

To remove the door, open it to the special stop position. Grasp firmly on each side and lift the door straight up and off the hinges.

Do not place hands between the hinge and the oven door frame.

To replace the door, make sure the hinges are in the special stop position. Position the slots in the bottom of the door squarely over the hinges and slowly lower it over both hinges.

To clean the inside of the door:

(on standard clean models)

Soap and water will normally do the job. Heavy spattering or spillovers may require cleaning with a mild abrasive cleaner. Soapy, wet metal 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 filling) to remain on the surface. They may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.

If necessary, you may use an oven cleaner. Follow the package directions.

■ Clean the inside of the oven window with a mild non-scratching cleaner and a damp cloth.

Glass Window (on some models)

To clean the outside glass finish, use a glass cleaner. Rinse and polish with a dry cloth.

Oven Heating Elements

Do not clean the bake element or the broil element. Any soil will burn off when the elements are heated.

To clean the oven floor, gently lift the bake element. Clean with warm soapy water.

To clean the outside of the door:

■ Use soap and water to thoroughly clean the top, sides and front of the oven door. Rinse well. You may also use a glass cleaner to clean the glass on the outside of the door. Do not let water drip into the vent openings.

■ Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces and basting materials containing acids may cause discoloration and should be wiped up immediately. When surface is cool, clean and rinse.

■ Do not use oven cleaners, cleaning powders or harsh abrasives on the outside of the door.

Care and cleaning of the range.

Wire cover holder

Oven Light Replacement (on some models)

CAUTION: Before replacing your oven light bulb, disconnect the electrical power to the range at the main fuse or circuit breaker panel.

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

To remove the cover:

Hold a hand under the cover so it doesn't fall when released. With fingers of the same hand, firmly push back the wire cover holder. Lift off the cover.

Do not remove any screws to remove the cover.

2 Replace bulb with a 40-watt household appliance bulb.

To replace the cover:

1 Place it into groove of the light receptacle. Pull wire forward to the center of the cover until it snaps into place.

2 Connect electrical power to the range.

After broiling, remove the broiler pan from the oven.

Broiler Pan & Grid

After broiling, remove the broiler pan from the oven. Remove the grid from the pan. Carefully pour out the grease from the pan into a proper container.

Wash and rinse the broiler pan and grid in hot water with a soap-filled or plastic scouring pad.

If food has burned on, sprinkle the grid with detergent while hot and cover with wet paper towels or a dishcloth. Soaking the pan will remove burned-on foods.

The broiler pan may be cleaned with a commercial oven cleaner. If the grid is grey enamel, it can also be cleaned with an oven cleaner. If the grid is chrome, do not use an oven cleaner to clean it.

Both the broiler pan and grid can also be cleaned in the dishwasher.

Do not store a soiled broiler pan and grid anywhere in the range.

How to Remove the Storage Drawer or Kick Panel to Clean Under the Range

To remove the storage drawer:

1 Pull the drawer out all the way.

2 Tilt up the front and remove it.

To replace the storage drawer:

1 Insert glides at the back of the drawer beyond the stop on range glides.

2 Lift the drawer if necessary to insert easily.

3 Let the front of the drawer down, then push in to close.

To remove the kick panel, pull it straight out at the top.

To replace the panel, first hook the bottom tabs on and then the top tabs.

Be sure the controls are turned to OFF and the surface units are cool before attempting to remove them.

Surface unit Receptacle Drip pan

Surface Units (on some models)

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 unit:

To remove the drip pans for cleaning, the surface units must be removed first.

Lift the surface unit about 2.5 cm (1 inch) above the drip pan and pull it out.

Do not lift the surface unit more than 2.5 cm (1 inch). If you do, it may not lie flat on the drip pan when you plug it back in.

Repeated lifting of the surface unit more than 2.5 cm (1 inch) above the drip pan can permanently damage the receptacle.

To replace a surface unit:

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 unit through the opening in the drip pan and into the receptacle.

Guide the surface unit into place so it rests evenly.

Do not immerse the surface units 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.

Drip Pans (on some models)

Remove the surface units. Then lift out the drip pans.

For best results, clean the drip pans by hand. Place them in a covered container (or a plastic bag) with 60 ml (1/4) cup ammonia to loosen the soil. Then scrub with a soap-filled scouring pad if necessary. Rinse with clean water and polish with a clean soft cloth.

The drip pans may also be cleaned in the dishwasher.

Clean the area under the drip pans often. Built-up soil, especially grease, may catch fire.

Do not cover the drip pans with foil. Using foil so close to the receptacle could cause shock, fire or damage to the range.

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

Lift-Up Cooktop (on some models)

Some models have a cooktop that can be lifted up for easier cleaning. The entire cooktop may be lifted up and supported in the up position.

The surface units do not need to be removed; however, you may remove one to make raising the cooktop easier. There are two side supports that lock into position when the cooktop is lifted up.

After cleaning under the cooktop with hot, mild soapy water and a clean cloth, lower the cooktop. Be careful not to pinch your fingers.

To lower the cooktop, push the rods back and gently lower the cooktop until it rests in place.

Flooring Under the Range

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, it should be installed on a 6 mm (1/4") thick sheet of plywood (or similar material) as follows:

When the floor 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 floor covering. This will allow the range to be moved for cleaning or servicing.

2 Prepare for Electrical Connection

Use a certified range power cord. Such a cord will be marked with a symbol of certification. If you are unsure about the certification of your range power cord, please consult with your local electrical parts distributor and obtain one or have a licensed electrician install your range. Finally, you may have to purchase a separate strain relief if your cord is not accompanied by one.

A range cord rated for 40A usage is recommended. The cord must also have a minimum 250V rating. A 50A cord is not recommended but, if used, it should be marked for use with nominal 3.49 cm (1 ^1/8 ") diameter connection openings. Care should be taken to center cable and strain relief (discussed in Step 3) within knockout hole to keep cable from rubbing the edge.

3 Power Cord Strain Relief Installation

☐ Remove the lower rear range wiring cover to expose the connector block and bracket.
Remove the knockout ring 3.49 cm (1 ^3/8 ") located on bracket directly below the connector. To remove the knockout, use a pair of pliers to bend the knockout ring away from the bracket and twist until ring is removed.

Knockout ring removed. Knockout ring in bracket.

"closed barrel" terminal

☐ Assemble the strain relief in the hole. Insert the power cord through the strain relief and tighten. Allow enough slack to easily attach the cord terminals to the connector block. If tabs are present at the end of the winged strain relief, they can be removed for better fit.

NOTE: Do not install the power cord without a strain relief. The strain relief bracket should be installed before reinstalling the rear range wiring cover.

"stranded wires"

This is a close-up view of a “ring” terminal. The ring terminal shown in this close-up illustration is the “closed barrel” type. We recommend use of the “closed barrel” type with a large enough “barrel” to accommodate the cord leads. Proper crimping force should be applied to connect stranded wires to the ring terminals.

NOTE: If your range power cord is "stranded" and is not terminated with ring terminals, you MUST attach the above terminals to the cord leads. A "stranded" power cable is one with many thin wires twisted together as shown in this illustration.

⚠ WARNING: THE POWER LEADS MUST BE CONNECTED TO THE OUTSIDE (BRASS COLORED) TERMINALS. THE GROUND (EARTH) LEAD MUST BE CONNECTED TO THE FRAME OF THE RANGE WITH THE GREEN GROUNDING SCREW.

RANGE FRAME MUST BE GROUNDED PROPERLY TO AVOID POTENTIAL ELECTRICAL SHOCK.

a Remove the 2 screws from the connector block.
Remove the grounding screw and strap from the connector block middle location and the screw connecting it to the frame of the range.

Remove the 2 screws from the connector block. Remove the grounding strap from the connector block middle location and the screw connecting it to the frame of the range. Insert bare wires between the connector block terminals and movable nuts. Tighten screws securely. Attach ground (earth) wire to the frame of the range.

NOTE: ALUMINUM WIRING

Do not connect aluminum wire to connector block. Use copper building wire rated for the correct amperage and voltage to make 3 (three) 7.62 cm (3-inch) copper jumper wires. Connect wire as described above.

Splice copper wires to aluminum wiring using special connector terminals designed for joining copper to aluminum and follow the connector manufacturer's recommended procedure closely.

Wire used, location and enclosure of splices, etc., must conform to good wiring practices and local codes.

WARNING

• Range MUST be secured by the Anti-Tip device supplied.
  ■ Unless properly installed, the range could be tipped by stepping or sitting on the door. Injury might result from spilled hot liquids or from the range itself.
  ■ After installing the Anti-Tip device verify that it is in place by carefully attempting to tilt the range forward.

This range has been designed to meet all recognized industry tip standards for all normal conditions.
■ The use of this device does not preclude tipping of the range when not properly installed.
If the Anti-Tip device supplied with the range does not fit this application, use the universal Anti-Tip device WB02X7909.

An Anti-Tip bracket is supplied with instructions for installation in a variety of locations. The instructions include all necessary information to complete the installation. Read the Safety Instructions and the instructions that fit your situation before beginning installation.

7 Leveling the Range

A. Install the oven shelves in the oven and position the range where it will be installed.
B. Check for levelness by placing a spirit level or a cup, partially filled with water, on one of the oven shelves. If using a spirit level, take two readings—with the level placed diagonally first in one direction and then the other.
C. Remove the storage drawer, broiler drawer or kick panel. The front leveling legs can be adjusted from the bottom and the rear legs can be adjusted from the top or bottom.
D. Use an open-end or adjustable wrench to adjust the leveling legs until the range is level.
