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.  
OpeaigInstr  
To check if the device 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.  
uctions  
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:  
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.  
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.  
utcions  
liaoInstr  
Do not store flammable  
materials in an oven or  
near the cooktop.  
utcions  
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.  
T
r
ulbeshotingT  
Before performing any  
service, disconnect the  
range power supply at  
the household  
distribution panel by  
removing the fuse or  
switching off the circuit  
breaker.  
Never wear loose-fitting  
or hanging garments  
while using the  
isp  
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.  
Do not leave children  
alone—children should  
not be left alone or

WARNING!  
SaetyInfor  
RADIANT SURFACE 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.

units unattended at  
high heat settings.  
Boilovers cause  
smoking and greasy

catch on fire.  
Do not operate the

the glass is broken.  
Spillovers or cleaning

SURFACE  
COOKING  
The radiant cooktop features heating units beneath a  
smooth glass surface.  
SaetyInfor  
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.  
Never cook directly on the glass.  
Always use cookware.  
The surface unit will cycle on and off to maintain your  
selected control setting.  
uctions  
It is safe to place hot cookware from the oven or surface  
on the glass surface when the surface is cool.  
OFF CENTER  
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.  
OpeaigInstr  
Always place the pan in the center of  
the surface unit you are cooking on.  
uctions  
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.  
laioInstr  
Do not use the surface as a cutting board.

r
T
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.  
vice  
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 affect the texture and flavor of baked goods. For best  
results with your old favorite recipes, use margarine, butter or stick

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.  
OepaigInstr  
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 1 2² from  
utcions  
the front of the pan to the front of the shelf.  
Aluminum Foil  
liaoInstr  
Never entirely cover a shelf with aluminum foil. This will  
disturb the heat circulation and result in poor baking.  
A smaller sheet of foil may be used to catch a spillover by

Sugary spillovers (such as jellies, fudge, candy syrups) or

cooktop (not covered by the warranty) unless the spill is  
removed while still hot. Special care should be taken

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

The range must be level. Leveling feet are located at each corner of the base of  
the range. Remove the storage drawer or kick panel (depending on your model)  
and using channel locks, rotate the leveling feet in and out as required to level  
the range. (For instructions on how to remove and replace the storage drawer or  
the kick panel, see the Care and cleaning of the range section.)

On some models, there are plastic covers which may be removed for easy  
adjustment (just squeeze and pull).

One of the rear leveling feet will engage the Anti-Tip bracket (allow for some side  
to side adjustment). Allow a minimum clearance of 1/8² between the range and  
the leveling foot that is to be installed into the Anti-Tip bracket.  
Check the range for proper installation into the Anti-Tip bracket by removing the  
kick panel or storage drawer and inspecting the rear leveling leg. Make sure it fits  
securely into the slot.
