Important Safety Information

READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

TIP OVER HAZARD

• A child or adult can tip the appliance and be killed.
• Verify the anti-tip bracket has been properly installed and engaged to the floor or wall.
• Ensure the anti-tip bracket is re-engaged when the range is moved by sliding the anti-tip arm under the bracket.
• Do not operate the range without the anti-tip bracket in place and engaged.
• Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious burns to children or adults.

ANTI-TIP BRACKET

To reduce the risk of the appliance tipping over, an anti-tip bracket is provided that must be installed before operating the appliance. See installation instructions shipped with the bracket for complete details.

1. Anti-tip bracket
2. Right side panel
3. Rear wall
4. Anti-tip bracket
5. Anti-tip arm

To check if the bracket is installed and engaged properly, look underneath the range to see that the anti-tip arm attached to the right side panel is engaged on the bracket. On some models, the storage drawer or kick panel can be removed for easier inspection.
If visual inspection is not possible, slide the range forward, confirm the anti-tip bracket is securely attached to the floor or wall and slide the range back so the anti-tip arm slides under the anti-tip bracket. If the range is pulled from the wall for any reason, always repeat this procedure to verify that the range is properly secured by the anti-tip bracket.

GENERAL SAFETY REQUIREMENTS

Ensure the appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician.
Never use the appliance for warming or heating the room.
Children should not be left alone or unattended in the area where the appliance is in use. Children should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.
Do not store items of interest to children in cabinets above a range or on the back guard of a range. Children climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously injured.
Loose fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while using the appliance.
Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recommended in the manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.
Flammable materials should not be stored in or near the appliance.
Do not use water on grease fires. Smother fire or flame or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
Use only dry pot holders. Moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let the pot holder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.
If power is lost to an electric cooktop while a surface element is ON, the surface element will turn back on as soon as power is restored. In the event of power loss, failure to turn all surface element knobs to the OFF position may result in ignition of items on or near the cooktop, leading to serious injury or death.
To avoid the possibility of a burn or an electric shock, always be certain that the controls for all surface elements are at the OFF position, and that all coils are cool before attempting to lift or remove a coil cooking element.

cooktop SAFETY REQUIREMENTS

Use the proper pan size. This appliance is equipped with four burners of different sizes. Select utensils that have flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface of the heating element. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the heating element to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of utensil to burner will also improve efficiency.
Never leave the appliance unattended while in use. Boil over causes smoking and greasy spills can ignite.
Never leave oil unattended while frying. If allowed to heat beyond its smoking point, oil may ignite resulting in fire that may spread to surrounding cabinets. Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible to monitor oil temperature.
To avoid oil spillover and fire, use a minimum amount of oil when shallow pan-frying and avoid cooking frozen foods with excessive amounts of ice.
Ensure that reflector pans or drip bowls are in place. Absence of these pans or bowls during cooking may subject wiring or components underneath to damage.
Do not use aluminum foil to line drip bowls or oven bottoms, except as suggested in the manual. Improper installation of these liners may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
Only certain types of glass, ceramic, earthenware or other glazed utensils are suitable for range top service without breaking due to sudden change in temperature.
To reduce risk of burns, ignition of flammable materials and spillage due to unintentional contact, the handle of a utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward and does not extend over adjacent burners.
Removable heating elements should never be immersed in water.

OVEN SAFETY REQUIREMENTS

Use care when opening the door. Allow hot air or steam to escape before removing or replacing food.
Do not heat unopened food containers. Build up of pressure may cause the container to burst and result in injury.
Keep oven vents unobstructed.
Always place oven racks in the desired location while the oven is cool. If the rack must be moved while the oven is hot, do not let the pot holder contact the hot heating element in the oven.
Pull the oven rack to the stop-lock position when loading and unloading food from the oven. This helps prevent burns from touching hot surfaces of the door and oven walls.
Do not use the oven if a heating element develops a glowing spot during use or shows other signs of damage. A glowing spot indicates the heating element may fail and present a potential burn, fire, or shock hazard. Turn the oven off immediately and have the heating element replaced by a qualified service technician.

DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR AREAS NEAR THEM
Heating elements on the surface or in the interior of the appliance may be hot even though they are dark in colour. Areas near the heating elements may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use do not touch or let clothing or other flammable materials contact the heating elements or areas near them until they have had sufficient time to cool. Surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to cause burns, among them are the oven vent openings and surfaces near these openings, oven doors and oven windows.

WARNING - IN CASE OF FIRE

In the event of a fire, never pick up a flaming pot or pan. Turn the burner off if it is safe to do so. Extinguish the fi re with a dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
Do not use water on grease fires. Water will spread the grease and will not extinguish the fire. Smother the fire with a tight fitting pot lid, cookie sheet or flat tray or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
If there is a fire in the oven during baking, smother the fire by closing the oven door and turning the oven off or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

To reduce the risk of burns, do not move this appliance while it is hot. To reduce the risk of injury due to tipping of the appliance, verify the re-installation of this appliance into the antitipping device provided and lock the casters after returning the appliance to the original installed position.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

BEFORE BEGINNING

Keep these instructions for future reference.
Installation of this appliance requires basic mechanical skills and roughly 1 to 3 hours of time.
Proper installation is the responsibility of the installer. Product failure due to improper installation is nor covered under the warranty.
Before beginning the installation, switch power off at the service panel and lock the service disconnecting means to prevent power from being switched on accidentally. If the service disconnecting means cannot be locked, securely fasten a warning device such as a tag to the service panel.

2. Squeeze connector (for conduit installations only)

PREPARE THE OPENING

All rough-in and spacing dimensions must be met for safe use of the appliance. Electricity to the range can be disconnected at the outlet without moving the range by removing the lower drawer if the outlet is in the preferred location.
To reduce the risk of burns or fire when reaching over hot surface elements, cabinet storage space above the cooktop should be avoided. If cabinetry is present above the range, risk can be reduced by installing a range hood that sticks out at least 5 inches beyond the front of the cabinets. Cabinets installed above a cooktop must be no deeper than 13 inches.
Make sure the cabinets and wall coverings around the range can withstand temperatures generated by the range.
Allow 2 inches of space from the range to the adjacent vertical walls above the cooktop surface.
Allow 30 inches minimum clearance between the surface elements and the bottom of unprotected wood or metal top cabinets and 15 inches minimum between the counter top and the adjacent cabinet bottom.
The range is heavy and can settle into soft floor coverings such as vinyl or carpeting. When installing the range on this type of flooring, it should be installed on a 1/4 inch thick sheet of plywood or similar material.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

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 fuse having amperage as specified on the rating plate. The rating plate is located under the cooktop.
We recommend you have the electrical wiring and hookup of your range connected by a qualified electrician. After installation, have the electrician show you where your main range disconnect is located.
Check with your local utilities for electrical codes which apply in your area. Failure to wire your oven according to governing codes could result in a hazardous condition. If there are no local codes, your range must be wired and fused to meet the requirements of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/ NFPA No. 70 - Latest Edition.
You can get a copy from: National Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269
Effective January 1, 1996, the National Electrical Code requires that new construction (not existing) utilize a 4-conductor connection to an electric range.
You must use a 3-wire, single-phase A.C. 208Y/120 Volt or 240/120 Volt, 60 hertz electrical system. If you connect to aluminum wiring, properly installed connectors approved for use with aluminum wiring must be used.
If the electrical service provided does not meet the above specifications, have a licensed electrician install an approved outlet.
NOTE: Use of automatic, wireless, or wired external switches that shut off power to the appliance is not recommended for this product.

ALL NEW BRANCH CIRCUIT INSTALLATIONS, MOBILE HOMES, RECREATIONAL VEHICLES AND INSTALLATIONS WHERE LOCAL CODES DO NOT ALLOW GROUNDING THROUGH NEUTRAL, REQUIRE A 4-CONDUCTOR CORD OR CONDUIT
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.
Because range terminals are not accessible after the range is in position, a flexible service conduit or cord must be used.
On some models, a filter capacitor may be connected between the black and white leads on the junction block.

SURFACE COOKING CONTROLS

The surface heating elements of the appliance are designed for a variety of heat settings.
At both the HI and LO positions, there are slight indents and the knob will click into place in these positions. HI indicates the highest setting. LO indicates the lowest setting.
A sound of clicking may be heard from the appliance during use. This is normal and indicates that the heat setting selected is being maintained.
Changing to a higher heat setting will happen faster than changing to a lower heat setting as it will take time for the heat to dissipate.

SETTING THE CONTROLS

1. Push the control knob in.
2. Turn to the desired heat setting.

The knob only needs to be pushed in when moving out of the "OFF" position. When the knob is in any position other than "OFF", it can be turned without pushing in.
Ensure that the element is turned off when cooking is finished. An indicator light will glow when any heating element is turned on.

HEAT SETTING GUIDE

• HI - quick start for cooking; bringing water to a boil
• MEDIUM HIGH - Fast fry; pan broil; maintain a fast boil on a large amount of food
• MED - Sauté and brown; maintain a slow boil on a large amount of food
• MEDIUM LOW - Cereal; maintain the serving temperature of most foods
• LO - Cook after starting at HI; cook with little water in a covered pan; use to steam rice; melt chocolate or butter

Never leave food unattended while cooking. Boil overs cause smoking. Greasy spill overs may catch fire.

SURFACE COOKING TIPS

Use medium or heavyweight cookware. Aluminum cookware conducts heat faster than other metals. Cast-iron and coated cast-iron cookware is slow to absorb heat, but generally cooks evenly at low or medium heat settings. Steel pans may cook unevenly if not combined with other metals.
Do not overfill cookware with fat that may spill over when adding food. Frosty foods bubble vigorously. Watch foods frying at high temperatures. Keep range and hood clean from accumulated grease.
To conserve the most cooking energy, pans should be flat on the bottom, have straight sides and tight- fitting lids. Match the size of the saucepan to the size of the surface element. A pan that extends more than an inch beyond the edge of the drip pan traps heat, which causes "crazing" (fine hairline cracks) on porcelain, and discoloration ranging from blue to dark gray on chrome drip pans.

OVEN COOKING CONTROLS

To use the oven, turn the oven temperature knob to the desired cooking temperature. The oven knob is marked in 25 degree increments, from 200°F to BROIL.
The oven light glows until the oven reaches the selected temperature and then will turn off. During cooking, the light will turn on any time the oven needs to add more heat to maintain the selected temperature.

OVEN SHELVES

The oven shelves are designed with stop-locks so that when they are placed correctly on the shelf supports, they will stop before coming completely out of the oven and will not tilt when food is being removed or added.
To remove the shelves from the oven, pull the shelf outward, tilt the front end upward and pull it out.
To replace the shelves, place the shelf on the support with the stop locks facing up and toward the back of the oven. Tilt up the front and push the shelf toward the back of the oven until it goes past the bump on the shelf support, then lower the front of the shelf and push it all the way into the oven.
The oven has four different shelf support positions to accommodate different cooking requirements.

ADJUST THE OVEN THERMOSTAT

You may find that the new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. Use the new oven for a few weeks to become familiar with it. If you still find the oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the thermostat.
Do not use thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores to check the temperature of the oven. They are not calibrated for high temperatures and can vary from 20 - 40 degrees.
This adjustment will not affect the broiling temperatures. The adjustment will be retained after a power failure.

1. Pull the oven temperature knob off the range and look at the back of it. To make an adjustment, loosen by one turn the two screws on the back of the knob. Do not completely remove the screws.
2. With the back of the knob facing you, hold the outer edge of the knob with one hand and turn the front of the knob with the other hand.
3. To increase the oven temperature, move the top screw toward the right.
4. To decrease the oven temperature, move the top screw toward the left.
5. You will hear a click for each notch you move the knob. Each click will change the oven temperature approximately 10°F. The range is plus or minus 60°F from the arrow. We suggest that you adjust the temperature by one click and then test the oven performance before adjusting further.
6. After the adjustment is made, retighten the screws so they are snug. Be careful not to overtighten.
7. Replace the knob, matching the flat area of the knob to the shaft.
   

OVEN BAKING AND ROASTING

1. Position the shelves in the oven. If cooking on two shelves at the same time, stagger the pans for the best heat circulation.
2. Close the oven door. Turn oven temperature knob to the desired temperature.
3. Place the food on the center of the oven shelf. Allow at least 2 inches between the end of the pan and the oven wall or any adjacent pans.
4. Check the food regularly. Remove once done and ensure the oven is turned off.

SHELF POSITIONS

• Most baking is done on the second or third shelf position from the bottom of the oven.
• When baking multiple items, use two shelves positioned on the second and fourth shelf supports from the bottom of the oven.
• Bake angel food cakes on the first shelf position from the bottom of the oven.
• Roasting is usually done on the bottom shelf position.
• If preheating is necessary, watch the oven light and place food in the oven once the light goes out. The oven light will cycle on and off with the oven thermostat as it cycles to maintain an even temperature.

BAKING AND ROASTING TIPS

• Follow a tested recipe and measure the ingredients carefully. If you are using a package mix, follow label directions.
• Do not open the oven door while baking or roasting. Heat will be lost and the cook time might need to be extended. If you must open the door, open it partially and close it as quickly as possible.
• Roasting is cooking by dry heat. Tender meat or poultry can be roasted uncovered. Roasting temperatures, which should be low and steady, keep spattering to a minimum. When roasting, it is not necessary to sear, baste, cover, or add water to the meat.
• Frozen roasts of meat can be cooked without thawing, but allow 10 to 25 minutes of additional time per pound of meat (10 minutes per pound for roasts under 5 pounds, more time for larger roasts).
• Thaw frozen poultry before roasting to ensure even cooking. Some commercial frozen poultry can be cooked successfully without thawing. Follow directions given on package label.

OVEN BOILING

Broiling involves cooking food by intense radiant heat from the upper element in the oven. Most fish and tender cuts of meat can be boiled. Follow these steps to keep spattering and smoking to a minimum.

1. If the meat has fat or gristle around the edge, cut vertical slashes through both about 2" apart. If desired, fat may be trimmed, leaving a layer about 1/8" thick.
2. Place the meat on a broiler grid in a broiler pan designed for broiling. Always use the grid so the fat drips into the broiler pan; otherwise the juices may become hot enough to catch fire.
3. Place the shelf in one of the top two positions for most broiling.
4. Place the food in the oven and close the door. Always broil with the door closed.
5. Turn the oven temperature knob to BROIL.
6. Food can be turned during broiling if necessary. Be cautious of hot air or steam when opening the oven door.
7. Make sure to turn the oven temperature knob to OFF once broiling is complete.

BROILING TIPS

• If desired, marinate meats or chicken before broiling or brush with barbecue sauce in the last 5 - 10 minutes of cooking.
• When arranging food on a pan, do not let fatty edges hang over the sides as the dripping fat will soil the oven as it cooks.

CARE & MAINTENANCE

SURFACE ELEMENTS

To clean the surface heating elements, turn the temperature control knob to the highest setting for one minute; this will burn off any food residue. Note that this could cause smoke, it is advisable to open a window or turn on a fan to avoid smoke build up.
Do not immerse the heating elements in liquids of any kind. Do not put heating elements into a dishwasher.
To remove the drip pans for cleaning, first remove the heating elements. Make sure the elements are cool before touching them.
Lift the element about 1" above the drip pan and pull to remove. Do not lift the element more than 1" as this can bend internal components and the element may not lie flat when it is replaced.
Remove the drip pan and clean as necessary. Drip pans can be cleaned in a dishwasher or by hand.

Once cleaning is complete, replace the drip pan in the recess in the cooktop. Make sure the opening in the pan lines up with the receptacle.
Insert the terminals on the heating element through the opening in the drip pan and into the receptacle. Guide the element into place gently so that is rests evenly.
Do not attempt to clean, adjust or repair the receptacles in any way.

CLEANING

Porcelain enamel cooktop

The porcelain enamel finish on the cooktop is sturdy but can be damaged if misused. Any acidic foods such as fruit juices, tomato or vinegar, should not be permitted to remain on the finish for any length of time.

Lift up cooktop

The cooktop can be lifted so the area underneath can be cleaned. Spills that over fl ow the drip pans, especially grease, should be cleaned to avoid build up and possible smoking or ignition.
Ensure the heating elements are turned off and cool before lifting the cooktop.
Remove the heating elements and the drip pans.
Lift the cooktop and prop open with the internal rod for easier cleaning. This area can be cleaned with hot, soapy water and a clean cloth.
Once complete, return the internal prop rod to its initial position and lower the cooktop until it snaps into position. Be careful not to pinch your fingers.
Replace the drip pans and heating elements.

Porcelain oven interior

With proper care, the porcelain enamel interior will retain its finish for many years.
Soap and water can be used to clean the interior. Heavy splattering or spills may require cleaning with a mild abrasive cleaner.
Do not allow spills with high acid content such as milk, tomatoes, fruit juices or pie fi lling, to remain on the surface. They may cause dull spots even after cleaning.
Household ammonia may make cleaning easier. Place 1/2 cup of ammonia in a shallow glass pan and leave in a cold oven over night. The ammonia fumes will help loosen burned on grease and food.

Cautions about using spray-on oven cleaners

Do not spray oven cleaner on the electrical controls and switches as it could cause a short circuit and result in sparking or fire.
Do not spray oven cleaner directly onto the oven heating elements.
Do not allow a film from the oven cleaner to remain on the temperature sensor as it could cause the oven to heat improperly. The sensor is located on the top of the oven. Carefully wipe the bulb clean after each oven cleaning, being careful not to move the sensor since a change in its position could affect how the oven bakes.
Do not spray oven cleaner on the outside of the oven door, handles or any exterior surface of the oven, cabinet or painted surfaces. The cleaner can damage these surfaces.

Oven shelves

Clean the shelves with an abrasive cleaner or steel wool. After cleaning, rinse the shelves with clean water and dry with a clean cloth.

Oven heating elements

Do not clean the bake element or the broil element. Any food residue will burn off when the elements are heated.
The bake element can be gently lifted to clean the oven floor. Ensure the element is cool before cleaning.

Control knobs

The control knobs may be removed for easier cleaning. Make sure the knobs are in the "OFF" position and then pull straight off the stems for cleaning.
The knobs can be cleaned in a dishwasher or by hand. Make sure the insides of the knobs are dry before replacing on the appliance.

Painted surfaces

The painted surfaces include the sides, the control panel, the door and the kick plate. Clean these with soap and water or a vinegar and water solution.
Do not use commercial oven cleaners, cleansing powders, steel wool or harsh abrasives on any painted surface.

To remove the door:

1. Open the door to the full open position.
2. Pull the hinge locks up over the hinge hooks on both sides.
3. Grasp the door fi rmly on both sides, lift slightly and pull it straight out and away from the oven.

To replace the door:

1. Firmly grasp both sides of the door at the top.
2. Insert and seat the upper and lower hinge arms into the oven slots.
3. Push the hinge locks down from the hinge hooks.
4. Close the oven door and make sure it is working properly. If it seems uneven or does not close completely, remove it again and repeat the steps to replace it.

Note: Do not attempt to close the door until it is properly installed. The hinges could be damaged.

Glass door window

To clean the outside of the glass door window, use a glass cleaner. Rinse and polish with a dry cloth.
Avoid scratching or impacting the glass window.
Doing so may cause the glass to break.

OVEN LIGHT REPLACEMENT

Before replacing the oven light bulb, make sure the electrical power is disconnected from the appliance. Failure to do so may result in electric shock or burn.
Be sure to let the light cover and bulb cool completely before replacing.
Removing the oven door can make this process easier.
To remove the light cover:

1. Twist the lens counterclockwise roughly 1/4 turn to remove. Do not remove any screws to remove the light cover.
2. Do not touch the light bulb with a wet cloth. Replace the light bulb with a 40 watt appliance light bulb.
