READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
TIP OVER HAZARD
To reduce the risk of the range tipping by abnormal usage or improper door loading, the range must be secured by installing an anti-tip device. There are two difference anti-tip devices included with this appliance.
Note: If the range is ever relocated the anti-tip bracket must be removed and installed at the new location.
The anti-tip bracket can be installed on either the left or the right rear leg by following the instructions below.
There are two anti-tip chains that should be installed on both sides of the appliance.
SUFFOCATION AND RISK OF CHILD ENTRAPMENT
To avoid the possibility of child entrapment please take the following precautions before throwing out the appliance:
NOTICE - BEFORE FIRST TIME USE
Before use of this range for the first time, the heating elements have a protective coating, which must be burned off before use. To do this:
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.
GREASE FIRES
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 fire with a dry chemical or foamtype 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 foamtype extinguisher.
FIRE RISK
Ensure the appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician.
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.
To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching over heated surface units, cabinet storage space located above the surface units should be avoided. If cabinet storage is to be provided, the risk can be reduced by installing a range hood that projects horizontally a minimum of 5 inches (12.7 cm) beyond the bottom of the cabinets.
Loose fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while using the appliance.
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.
This range is designed and manufactured solely for the cooking of domestic (household) food and is not suitable for any non domestic application and therefore should not be used in a commercial environment. The range warranty will be void if the range is used within a non domestic environment.
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 anti-tipping device provided after returning the appliance to the original installed position.
The manufacturer declines all liability for injury to persons or damage to property cause by incorrect or improper use of the range.
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.
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.
Do not cook on broken cooktop. If the cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and spill overs may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately.
Do not use a griddle or long pan on more than one burner at once.
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.
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 line the oven walls, racks or burner bowls with aluminum foil.
Do not place shelves, pans, baking trays, broil trays or other cooking utensils in the bottom of the oven chamber. Always place on an oven shelf.
Never clean the oven with any high pressure steam cleaning devices.
Do not leave anything on the top of the oven vent. Never cover the oven vent opening with aluminum foil or any other material.

Broiling involves cooking food by intense radiant heat from the upper element in the oven. Most fish and tender cuts of meat can be broiled. Follow these steps to keep spattering and smoking to a minimum.
Air frying is designed to simulate deep frying without submerging the food in oil. A fan circulates hot air at high speed, producing a crisp outer layer on the food.
Cooked food, the air fry basket, the baking pan and the door can be very hot.
NOTE: Baking pan is not provided; image is for illustration purposes only.
Cook times are estimates and may vary based on food type and preparation. It is normal for steam or condensation to escape from the door, especially when cooking frozen foods.
Loose items such as fries, chicken wings or chicken strips should be turned halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
Food | Quantity (pieces) | Weight (g) | Temperature (°F) | Time (mins) |
Frozen fries | 45 - 50 | ~190 | 425 | 18 - 20 |
