WARNING!

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.

■ 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.

WARNING!

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.

SELF-CLEANING OVEN (on some models)

■ 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

WARNING!

SURFACE 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.

■ 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.

WARNING!

RADIANT SURFACE UNITS (on some models)

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

■ When the cooktop is cool, use only the recommended cleaning cream to clean the cooktop.
■ To avoid possible damage to the cooking surface, do not apply cleaning cream to the glass surface when it is hot.
■ After cleaning, use a dry cloth or paper towel to remove all cleaning cream residue.
- Read and follow all instructions and warnings on the cleaning cream labels.
■ Never use the glass cooktop surface as a cutting board.
■ Avoid scratching the glass cooktop. The cooktop can be scratched with items such as sharp instruments, rings or other jewelry and rivets on clothing.
- Do not place or store items that can melt or catch fire on the glass cooktop, even when it is not being used.

- Do not operate the radiant surface units if the glass is broken. Spillovers or cleaning solution may penetrate a broken cooktop and create a risk of electrical shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately should your glass cooktop become broken.

■ Be careful when placing spoons or other stirring utensils on glass cooktop surface when it is in use. They may become hot and could cause burns.

■ Clean the cooktop with caution. If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot surface unit, be careful to avoid steam burns. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.

NOTE: We recommend that you avoid wiping any surface unit areas until they have cooled and the indicator light has gone off. Sugar spills are the exception to this. Please see Cleaning the glass cooktopsection.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

WARNING!

COIL SURFACE UNITS (on some models)

■ Clean the cooktop with caution. If a wet sponge is used to wipe spills on a hot cooktop, be careful to avoid steam burns.
■ 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.
- Do not immerse or soak the removable surface units. Do not put them in a dishwasher.

■ 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.

SURFACE COOKING

Never cook directly on the glass. Always use cookware.

OFF CENTER

Always place the pan in the center of the surface unit you are cooking on.

DRAGGING

About the radiant surface units...

The radiant cooktop features heating units beneath a smooth glass surface.

NOTE: A slight odor is normal when a new cooktop is used for the first time. It is caused by the heating of new parts and insulating materials and will disappear in a short time.

The surface unit will cycle on and off to maintain your selected control setting.

It is safe to place hot cookware from the oven or surface on the glass surface when the surface is cool.

Even after the surface units are turned off, the glass cooktop retains enough heat to continue cooking. To avoid over-cooking, remove pans from the surface units when the food is cooked. Avoid placing anything on the surface unit until it has cooled completely.

■ Water stains (mineral deposits) are removable using the cleaning cream or full strength white vinegar.
■ Use of window cleaner may leave an iridescent film on the cooktop. The cleaning cream will remove this discoloration.
- Don't store heavy items above the cooktop. If they drop onto the cooktop, they can cause damage.
- Do not use the surface as a cutting board.

Do not slide cookware across the cooktop because it can scratch the glass—the glass is scratch resistant, not scratch proof.

Selecting types of cookware for radiant glass cooktop models.

The following information will help you choose cookware which will give good performance on glass cooktops.

Pans with rounded, curved, ridged or warped bottoms are not recommended.

Copper Bottom:

recommended

Copper may leave residues which can appear as scratches. The residues can be removed, as long as the cooktop is cleaned immediately. However, do not let these pots boil dry. Overheated metal can bond to glass cooktops. An overheated copper bottom pot will leave a residue that will permanently stain the cooktop if not removed immediately.

Porcelain Enamel Covered Cast Iron:

recommended

As long as the cookware is covered completely with porcelain enamel, this cookware is recommended. Caution is recommended for cast iron cookware that is not completely covered with smooth porcelain enamel, as it may scratch the glass ceramic cooktop.

Glass-ceramic:

usable, but not recommended

Poor performance. May scratch the surface.

Stoneware:

usable, but not recommended

Poor performance. May scratch the surface.

Surface Cookware Tips

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.

Two symbolic illustrations: a crossed-out wok and a flat plate, both without any text or symbols.

Use only flat-bottomed woks.

Wok Cooking

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.

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 112 " from the front of the pan to the front of the shelf.

Aluminum Foil

Do not use aluminum foil to catch spillovers when using the CircuWave fan. The foil will be sucked toward the convection fan. Also, covering an entire shelf with aluminum foil will disturb the heat circulation and result in poor baking.

Illustration of hands holding a tray with food items (no text or symbols visible)

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.

Using CircuWave ^TM (on some models)

Benefits of CircuWave

■ Saves time (up to 30%) when roasting meats and cooking casseroles, whole meals and main dishes. Time savings will depend on size, type and amount of food.
■ Seals in moisture while the outside of meats and poultry gets crisp and brown.
- By reducing cooking time, you will save energy and reduce heat in the kitchen.
The greatest time savings and best results are seen with foods that require more than 45 minutes cooking time.

Diagram of a mechanical or electrical component with directional arrows and central circle (no text or symbols)

CircuWave Fan

In the CircuWave oven, a fan circulates the hot oven air over and around the food.

This circulating hot air is evenly distributed throughout the oven cavity.

The CircuWave fan will remain on when the oven door is opened.

To reduce smoking, avoid turning the fan on while broiling.

For best baking results with two racks, place the racks in B and D positions.

CircuWave

To Set the Oven for CircuWave

1 Turn the knob to the desired oven temperature.
2 Push the CircuWave switch to turn on the CircuWave fan.
3 After cooking is finished, turn the oven off and push the CircuWave button to turn the fan off.

Tips when using CircuWave

• Be sure to check the internal temperature of food to make sure that it is cooked thoroughly. Meat should be cooked to at least 160^ F. and poultry to at least 180^ F. Even though food is nicely browned on the outside, it may not have reached a safe internal temperature. Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against foodborne illness.
• Do not turn the fan on during the self-clean cycle.
  ■ To reduce smoking, avoid turning the fan on while broiling.

Using the clock and timer. (on some models)

When the oven automatically turns off the AUTOMATIC OVEN light will flash and the oven will signal. Turn the Oven Temperature knob to OFF to stop the flashes and signal.

Adjust the oven thermostat—Easy to do 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 temperatures (on some models). The adjustment will be retained in memory after a power failure.

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.

Using the self-cleaning oven (on some models).

Never force the latch handle. Forcing the handle will damage the door lock mechanism.

Before a Clean Cycle

The range must be completely cool in order to set the self-clean cycle.

We recommend venting with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood during the first self-clean cycle.

Remove all cookware and any aluminum foil from the oven.

The oven shelves can be self-cleaned, but they will darken, lose their luster and become hard to slide.

Do not use abrasives or oven cleaners. Clean the top, sides and outside of the oven door with soap and water.

The enamel grid and broiler pan may be cleaned in the self-cleaning oven. However, to help prevent heavy smoke caused by self-cleaning the greasy soil in the pan, you must first clean off the excess grease.

Make sure the oven light bulb cover is in place and the oven light is off.

IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the self-cleaning cycle of any range. Move birds to another well ventilated room.

After a Clean Cycle

You may notice some white ash in the oven. Wipe it up with a damp cloth after the oven cools.

If white spots remain, remove them with a soap-filled steel wool pad and rinse thoroughly with a vinegar and water mixture.

These deposits are usually a salt residue that cannot be removed by the clean cycle.

If the oven is not clean after one clean cycle, repeat the cycle.

• You cannot set the oven for cooking until the oven is cool enough for the door to be unlatched.
  ■ While the oven is self-cleaning, you can press the CLOCK pad to display the time of day. To return to the clean countdown, press the COOK TIME ON/OFF pad.
  If the shelves become hard to slide, apply a small amount of vegetable oil or cooking oil to a paper towel and wipe the edges of the oven shelves with the paper towel.

Care and cleaning of the range.

Oven Interior (non-self clean models)

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.

Lift the door straight up and off the hinges.

Lift-Off Oven Door

The oven door is removable for cleaning.

Do not lift the door by the handle. Make sure the oven is completely cool.

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.

Simple line drawing of a rectangular frame with a central black rectangle and diagonal lines, no text or symbols present.

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

Because the area inside the gasket is cleaned during the self-clean cycle, you do not need to clean this by hand.

The area outside the gasket and the front frame can be cleaned with a soap-filled scouring pad, hot water and detergent. Rinse well with a vinegar and water solution.

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.

To clean the inside of the door:

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.

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.

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.

Oven Shelves

Clean the shelves with an abrasive cleanser or steel wool.

On self-cleaning models the oven shelves may be cleaned in the self-cleaning oven. However, the shelves will darken in color, lose their luster and become hard to slide if cleaned during the self-cleaning cycle.

To make the shelves slide more easily apply a small amount of vegetable oil or cooking oil to a paper towel and wipe the edges of the oven shelves with the paper towel.

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:

1 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.

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.

Cleaning the glass cooktop.

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, 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.

Daily Cleaning

Use only a recommended cleaning cream, such as Cerama Brite or the Cooktop Cleaning Creme, on the glass cooktop.

To maintain and protect the surface of your new glass cooktop follow these steps.

Before you use the cooktop for the first time, clean it with cleaning cream. This helps protect the top and makes clean-up easier.

■ Clean the surface with the cleaning cream after each use.
- Rub a few drops (less is better) of the cleaning cream onto soiled area using a damp paper towel. Buff with a dry paper towel until all soil and cream are removed.

For heavy, burned-on soil:

1 Apply a few drops of the cleaning cream to the (cool) soiled area.
2 Using a damp paper towel, rub the cream into the burned-on area. As with any burned-on spill, this may require some effort.
3 Carefully scrape soil with razor scraper. Hold scraper at a 45^ angle against the glass cooktop.
4 If any soil remains, repeat the steps listed above. For additional protection, after all soil has been removed, polish the entire surface with the cleaning cream.
5 Buff with a dry paper towel.

To order more cream and/or scrapers for cleaning your glass cooktop, please call our toll-free number:

Pure technical line drawing of a mechanical component or bracket (no text or symbols)

Using a razor scraper will not damage the surface if the 45^ angle is maintained.

Special Care

Be sure to use a new sharp razor scraper. Do not use a dull or nicked blade.

Sugary spillovers (such as jellies, fudge, candy syrups) or melted plastics can cause pitting of the surface of your cooktop (not covered by the warranty) unless the spill is removed while still hot. Special care should be taken when removing hot substances.

1 Turn off all surface units affected by the spillover. Remove hot pans.

2 Wearing an oven mitt, hold the razor scraper at a 45^ angle to the cooktop. Scrape the hot spill to a cool area outside the surface unit.

3 With the spill in a cool area, use a dry paper towel to remove any excess. Any spillover remaining should be left until the surface of the cooktop has cooled. Do not continue to use the soiled surface unit until all of the spillover has been removed. Follow the steps under Heavy soil to continue the cleaning process.

NOTE: If pots with a thin overlay of aluminum, copper or enamel are allowed to boil dry, the overlay may bond with the glass cooktop and leave a black discoloration. This should be removed immediately before heating again or the discoloration may be permanent.

Care and cleaning of the range.

Porcelain Enamel Cooktop (on some models)

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.

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.

Be sure all 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 1 inch above the drip pan and pull it out.

Do not lift the surface unit more than 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 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 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.

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.

Electrical Requirements

CAUTION, FOR PERSONAL SAFETY: DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD WITH THIS APPLIANCE.

REMOVE HOUSE FUSE OR OPEN CIRCUIT BREAKER BEFORE BEGINNING INSTALLATION.

This appliance must be supplied with the proper voltage and frequency, and connected to an individual, properly grounded branch circuit, protected by a circuit breaker or time delay fuse, as noted on the rating plate.

Wiring must conform to National Electric Codes.

If the electric service provided does not meet the above specifications, have a licensed electrician install an approved outlet.

Because range terminals are not accessible after range is in position, flexible service conduit or cord must be used.

Read these instructions completely and carefully.

1 Prepare the Opening

Allow 1 ½" spacing from the range to adjacent vertical walls above cooktop surface.

Allow 30" minimum clearance between surface units and bottom of unprotected wood or metal top cabinet, and 15" minimum between countertop and adjacent cabinet bottom.

EXCEPTION: Installation of a listed microwave oven or cooking appliance over the cooktop shall conform to the installation instructions packed with that appliance.

If cabinet storage is installed, reduce risk by installing a range hood that projects horizontally a min. of 5" beyond the bottom of the cabinets. Make sure the wall covering, countertops and cabinets around the range can withstand heat generated by the range, oven or cooktop up to 200°F.

Read these instructions completely and carefully.

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 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.

Prepare for Electrical Connection

Effective January 1, 1996 the National Electric Code requires that new construction (not existing) utilize a 4-conductor connection to an electric range.

When installing an electric range in new construction follow Steps 3 and 5 for 4-wire connection.

Use only a 3-conductor or a 4-conductor UL-listed range cord. These cords may be provided with ring terminals on wire and a strain relief device.

A range cord rated at 40 amps with 125/250 minimum volt range is required. A 50 amp range cord is not recommended but if used, it should be marked for use with nominal 1^3/8 " diameter connection openings. Care should be taken to center the cable and strain relief within the knockout hole to keep the edge from damaging the cable.

NOTE: A 4-conductor cord is to be used when the appliance is installed in a mobile home or when local codes do not permit grounding through the neutral. If conduit is being used, go to Step 6 or 7.
