Read aJ! instructions before using this appliance. When using gas
or electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed,
including the following:
See Installation
Instructions
These ANTI-TIP bracket installation
instructions are for wood or concrete
floors and walls. Any other type of
construction may require special
installation techniques to provide
adequate fastening of the ANTI-TIP
bracket to the floor and wall.
The use of this bracket does not
prevent tipping of the range when
bracket is not properly installed.
NOTE: The installation of the
ANTI-TIP bracket must meet all
local codes for securing appliance.
Step 1
Locating the bracket
A. Locate the bracket against the rear
wall and either the right or left
cabinet. If the countertop
overhangs the cabinet, offset the
bracket from the cabinet by the
amount of overhang. If there is no
adjacent cabinet, position the edge
of the bracket at the desired
location of the range side panel.
B. Use the bracket as a template
and mark 2 hole positions on the
wall and 2 hole positions on the
floor. Use either the wood or
concrete floor set of positions,
depending on your floor type.
See Fig. 1.

BOLTS.
Step 3
Checking the installation
A. Complete the installation of
the range per the installation
instructions provided with it.
B. Check if the ANTI-TIP bracket 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. See Fig. 1.
IMPORTA#TSAFETY
/#STRUCT/O#S
_WARNING!
To prevent accidental
tipping of the range
from abnormal use, including
excessive loading of the oven
door, attach the range to the
wall or floor by installing the
Anti-Tip device supplied. If the
range is moved for cleaning,
servicing or any reason, be
sure the Anti-Tip device is
re-engaged properly when
the range is slid back in the
opening. Failure to do so could
result in the range tipping and
may cause personal injury. To
inspect the Anti-Tip device,
remove the storage drawer and
look to see if the rear leg leveler
fully engages the slot in the
bracket.
Important: To ensure safety for
yourself, family, and home, please
read your Owner's Manual carefully.
Keep it handy for reference. Pay
close attention to Safety Sections.
BE SURE your appliance is installed
and grounded by a qualified
technician.
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 birth
defects or other reproductive harm
and requires businesses to warn
their customers of potential
exposure to such substances.
The fiberglass insulation in a
self-cleaning oven will give off a
very small amount of carbon
monoxide during the cleaning
cycle. Exposure can be minimized
by venting with an open door or
window or using a ventilation fan
or hood.
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.
DO NOT leave children alone
or unattended near an appliance
in use.
TEACH CHILDREN not to play with
controls or any part of the appliance
and not to sit, climb, or stand on the
door or any other parts of the
appliance.
CAUTION: NEVER STORE
items of interest to children on the
backguard or in cabinets above the
appliance. Children climbing on the
appliance could be seriously injured.
KEEP THIS book for later use.
NEVER TRY to repair or replace
any part of the appliance unless
instructions are given in this manual.
All other work should be done by a
qualified technician.
NEVER USE your appliance for
warming or heating the room.

• ALWAYS KEEP combustible wall
coverings, curtains, dishcloths,
towels, potholders and other linens
a safe distance from the appliance.
NEVER HEAT unopened food
containers. Pressure buildup can
cause the container to burst and
cause injury.
NEVER LEAVE containers of fat or
drippings in your oven.
ALWAYS KEEP the oven and
surface unit areas free from things
that will burn. Food, wooden
utensils, and grease buildup could
catch fire. Plastic utensils could
melt and canned foods could
explode. Your appliance should
never be used as a storage area.
ALWAYS KEEP your appliance
clear of things that will burn
(gasoline and other flammable
vapors or liquids).
• NEVER TRY toclean hot
surfaces.Some cleanersproduce
noxiousfumes, and wet clothsor
sponges couldcause steam burns.
• NEVER WEAR loose-fittingclothing
when usingyourappliance.
• NEVER USE a towelorotherbulky
clothas a potholder.Make surethe
potholderisdry.Moistpotholders
and wet clothsor sponges could
cause steam burns.DO NOT let
potholderstouch hotheating
elements.
DO NOT touch heating elements,
surfaces near them, or interior oven
surfaces. These may be hot enough
to cause burns even though they
are dark in color. During and after
use, do not touch or let clothing or
flammable material contact the
elements or hot surfaces until they
have had time to cool. Other
surfaces near the oven vent
openings, oven door and window
and cooktop surfaces may also be
hot enough to cause burns.
ONLY CERTAIN kinds of glass or
ceramic cookware can be used for
cooktop cooking. Make sure the
cookware you choose to use is
designed for cooktop cooking
without breaking due to the sudden
temperature changes.
ALWAYS USE care when touching
cooktop elements. They will retain
heat after the range has been
turned off.
NEVER BLOCK the oven air vent
under the right Fearelement.
COOKWARE USED for cooktop
cooking should be flat on the bottom
and large enough to cover the heating
area being used. Undersized utensils
expose the heating element and may
result in direct contact or ignition of
clothing. The proper size utensil will
also improve efficiency.
ALWAYS USE drip bowls to prevent
wiring and component damage. DO
NOT use aluminum liners or foil in drip
bowls. Improper use may result in risk
of electric shock or fire.
NEVER LEAVE surface units
unattended at high settings. Boilovers
result in smoking or greasy spills
which could catch fire.
ALWAYS TURN utensil handles
inward and away from other surface
units to reduce the risk of burns,
ignition, unintended contact, and
spillage.
NEVER put heating elements in water.
• WHEN PREPARING flaming foods
under the vent hood, turn the fan on.

OPERATION
OvenCookingTips
It is normal to have some odor when
using your oven for the first time. To
help eliminate this odor, ventilate the
room by opening a window or using
a vent hood.
iMPORTANT: Never cover the oven
bottom or oven rack with aluminum
foil. Improper use can cause poor
heat flow, poor baking results, and
may damage the oven finish. To
prevent staining from spillovers, you
may place a piece of aluminum foil or
a cookie sheet on the rack below the
food which may spill over.
Opening the door often to check
foods will cause heat loss and poor
baking results.
Preheating is bringing the oven
temperature up to the temperature
you will be using during baking. Let
the oven preheat when recipes call
for preheating.
To prolong the life of your oven light
bulb, follow this helpful tip: Always
turn the light off when the oven is not
in use or during a clean cycle. If your
oven light is left on for an extended
period of time, the oven will be warm
when the door is opened due to the
heat generated from the oven light
bulb.
The oven vent is located under the
right rear element. This area could
become hot during oven use. It is
normal for steam to come out of
the vent and/or collect moisture
underneath when the oven is in use.
The vent is important for proper air
circulation. Never block this vent.
Oven Vent
_j_ Location
Most recipes for baking have been
developed using high-fat products
such as butter or margarine (80% fat
by weight--the federal requirement
for products labeled "margarine").
You will get poor results if cakes, pies,
pastries, cookies, or candies are
made with low-fat spreads. Low-fat
spreads contain less fat and more
water. The high moisture content of
these spreads affects the texture and
flavor of favorite baked recipes. The
lower the fat content of a spread
product, the more noticeable these
differences become. To ensure best
results, use margarine, butter, or stick
spreads containing at least 70%
vegetable oil.
/5
OPERATION
OvenCookingTips(cont.)
Baking results will be better if baking
pans are centered in the oven as
much as possible. If baking with
more than one pan, place the pans
so each has at least 1 to 1W' of air
space around it. If baking four cake
layers at the same time, place two
layers on rack 2 and two layers on
rack 4. Stagger pans on the rack so
one is not directly above the other.
The Oven Temperature Sensor
continuously senses and controls the
temperature inside the oven. To keep
a constant set temperature, the
elements will cycle (turn on and off
during cooking).
FLAT COOKIE SHEETS, without
sides, allow air to circulate all around
the cookies for even browning.
SHINY PANS reflect heat and are
perfect for cakes and quick breads
that need a light brown crust.
GLASS, DARK NON=STICK,
OR DARKENED=BY=AGE
BAKEWARE absorbs heat and can
be used for yeast breads, pie crust, or
foods that need a brown crust. The
oven temperature should be reduced
by 25°F.
16
OPERATION
OvenCookingTips(cont.)
The oven racks are designed with
stops, a convenience as well as a
safety precaution. The guides have a
bump to prevent the racks from tilting
when they are pulled out of the oven.
This design allows the racks to be
inserted in only one way.
Bump I_
k
Your oven has six (6) rack positions.
The top position is only a guide. It
cannot be used as a rack position.
Guides
You may feel that your new oven
cooks differently than the oven it
replaced. We recommend that you
use your new oven a few weeks to
become more familiar with it, following
the times given in your recipes as a
guide. If you feel your oven is too
hot or too cool for your cooking
preference, see Do-k-Yourself
Adjustment in the back of this manual
to make the adjustment.
NOTE: On some models the Oven
Control Knob must be pushed in
before turning.
Your oven control has a selector
knob for setting Bake, Broil, or Clean.
Simply turn the knob to the bake
temperature setting you want to use
or to BROIL or CLEAN.
Always place oven racks in the
proper position while oven is cool.
CAUTION: When you are using the
rack in the lowest position (1), you will
need to use caution when pulling the
rack out. We recommend that you pull
the rack out several inches and then,
using two potholders, pull the rack out
by holding the sides of it. The rack is
low and you could be burned if you
place your hand in the middle of the
rack and pull all the way out. Be very
careful not to burn your hand on the
door when using a rack in the lowest
position (1).
OFF
The Indicator Lights:
• PREHEATED indicator light - turns
on and stays on when oven has
reached selected temperature.
OVEN ON indicator light - turns on
and stays on when a Bake, Broil, or
Clean function has been chosen.
• CLEAN indicator light - turns on
and stays on for self-clean. If the
CLEAN indicator light flashes,
you should check for one of the
following:
1, The latch handle is locked during
a baking function.
2, The latch handle is not locked
12" during a self-clean function.
OPERATION
Broiling
Broiling is cooking by direct heat from
the upper element. The oven door
should remain opened to the broil
stop position during broiling.
It is not necessary to preheat the oven
when broiling. Use the broiler pan and
grid that came with your range. Both
are designed for proper drainage of
fat and liquids.
.If foi! is used, it must be
molded tightly to the grid
and slits cut into the foi!
to match those of the grid. This
allows fats and liquids to drain
into the broiler pan, preventing
fire and excessive smoke.
Always remove the
pan and grid from S_
the oven. Storing
or forgetting a
soiled broiler pan
in the oven is a potential smoke
or fire hazard.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture
recommends to 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 food-borne illness.
The closer you place foods to the
broil element, the faster foods brown
on the outside yet remain red to pink
in the center.
Moving meats away from the element
will allow the meat to cook to the
center while browning on the outside.
Using this positioning, cook side 1 at
least 2 minutes longer than side 2. If
your oven is connected to 208 volts,
you may want to use a higher rack
position and/or broil foods longer.
The size, weight, thickness, starting
temperature, and your preference of
the doneness of the meat will affect
broiling. The chart on the next page is
based on meats at refrigerator
temperature.

3. Wipe up any heavy spillovers on
the oven bottom.
4. Do not clean the gasket. The
fiberglass material of the oven
door gasket cannot withstand
abrasion. It is essential for the
gasket to remain intact. If you
notice it becoming worn or frayed,
it should be replaced.
The gasket is designed to have a
5"-6" gap at the bottom of the door.
This allows for proper air circulation.
Door Panel Gasket
Door Liner
It is normal for your oven door to give
the appearance of not having a good
seal against the range. This is due to
the gasket. The location of the gasket
on the door maintains a good seal
and prevents any heat loss.
r .....................................
_ tensils should never be
left in the oven during a
self-clean cycle.
The oven racks may be cleaned
during the self-clean cycle, but
will lose their luster and become
hard to slide. If you choose
to leave them in during the
cycle, wiping them down with
vegetable oil after the cycle will
help them slide easier.
For the first clean cycle, vent the
room with an opened window or
hood vent. This will reduce the
odor produced when heating
new parts.

white ash in the oven. Just wipe it up
with a damp cloth or sponge.
If white spots remain, scrub them
with a soap-filled steel-wool pad. Be
sure to rinse thoroughly. These are
usually deposits of salt that cannot be
removed during the cycle.
If for any reason you are not
satisfied with the cleaning
results, just repeat the cycle.

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

"DO-IT-YOURSELF"
TEMPERATURE
ADJUSTMENT
You may feel that your new oven
cooks differently than the oven it
replaced. We recommend that you
use your new oven a few weeks to
become more familiar with it, following
the times given in your recipes as a
guide.
If you think your new oven is too hot
(burning foods) or not hot enough
(foods are undercooked), you can
adjust the temperature yourself. The
appearance and texture of foods is a
better indicator of oven accuracy than
an oven thermometer. These
thermometers can vary by 20-40
degrees from the true temperature of
the oven. In addition, the oven door
must be opened to read these
thermometers. Opening the door will
change the temperature of the oven.
To decide how much to change
the temperature, set the oven
temperature 25 degrees higher
(if foods are undercooked) or
25 degrees lower (if foods are
burning) than the temperature in your
recipe, then bake. The results of this
"test" should give you an idea of how
much the temperature should be
changed.
1. Press and hold, at the same
time, the HOUR UP and DOWN
arrow pads until the display
shows a two-digit number.
2. Press the HOUR UP arrow pad to
increase the temperature up to
+35°F hotter.
or
Press the HOUR DOWN arrow
pad to decrease the temperature
down to -35°F cooler.
3. When this adjustment has been
made, the display will return to the
time of day.
This adjustment will remain in memory
until these steps are repeated and a
new temperature is selected. It will
remain in memory even after a power
failure.
This adjustment will not affect the Broil
or Clean temperatures.
