The Anti-Tip Bracket  
The range will not tip during normal use. However, the range can tip if you apply too much force or weight to the open door without the anti-  
tip bracket fastened down properly.  
WARNING  
Tip Over Hazard  
A child or adult can tip the range and be killed.  
Connect anti-tip bracket to rear range foot.  
Reconnect the anti-tip bracket, if the range is moved.  
See the installation instructions for details.  
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or serious burns to children and adults.  
Anti-Tip Bracket  
Making sure the anti-tip bracket is installed:  
Slide range forward.  
Look for the anti-tip bracket securely attached to floor.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock,  
injury to persons, or damage when using the range, follow  
basic precautions, including the following:  
Proper Installation – The range, when installed, must be  
electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or, in  
the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical  
Code, ANSI/NFPA 70. Be sure the range is properly  
installed and grounded by a qualified technician.  
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF TIPPING OF  
THE RANGE, THE RANGE MUST BE SECURED BY  
PROPERLY INSTALLED ANTI-TIP DEVICES. TO CHECK  
IF THE DEVICES ARE INSTALLED PROPERLY, SLIDE  
RANGE FORWARD, LOOK FOR ANTI-TIP BRACKET  
SECURELY ATTACHED TO FLOOR, AND SLIDE RANGE  
BACK SO REAR RANGE FOOT IS UNDER ANTI-TIP  
BRACKET.  
This range is equipped with a three-prong grounding plug  
for your protection against shock hazard and should be  
plugged directly into a properly grounded receptacle. Do  
not cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug.  
Disconnect power before servicing.  
Injuries may result from the misuse of appliance doors or  
drawers such as stepping, leaning, or sitting on the doors  
or drawers.  
WARNING: NEVER use this appliance as a space  
heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in  
carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating of the oven.  
Maintenance – Keep range area clear and free from  
combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable  
vapors and liquids.  
WARNING: NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages  
in the oven bottom or cover an entire rack with materials  
such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the  
oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning.  
Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat, causing a fire  
hazard.  
Storage in or on the Range – Flammable materials should  
not be stored in an oven or near surface units.  
Top burner flame size should be adjusted so it does not  
extend beyond the edge of the cooking utensil.  
CAUTION: Do not store items of interest to children in  
cabinets above a range or on the backguard of a range –  
children climbing on the range to reach items could be  
seriously injured.  
For self-cleaning ranges –  
Before Self-Cleaning the Oven – Remove broiler pan and  
other utensils. Wipe off all excessive spillage before  
initiating the cleaning cycle.

Aluminum Foil  
IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the oven bottom  
finish, do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil or liner.  
For best cooking results, do not cover entire oven rack with foil  
because air must be able to move freely.  
Positioning Racks and Bakeware  
IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the porcelain finish,  
do not place food or bakeware directly on the oven door or bottom.  
Rack Positions  
Rack 5: 2-rack baking.  
Rack 4: Use for broiling and toasting.  
Rack 3: Most baked goods on a cookie sheet, jelly roll pan, or in  
muffin pans; casseroles; frozen convenience foods.  
Rack 2: Roasting small cuts of meat, pies, casseroles, bundt and  
angel food cakes, yeast bread, quick breads, and 2-rack baking.  
Bakeware  
To cook food evenly, hot air must be able to circulate. Allow  
2" (5 cm) of space around bakeware and oven walls. Make sure  
that no bakeware piece is directly over another.  
Racks  
Rack 1: Roasting large cuts of meat and poultry.  
Rack 6: Extra-large items.  
Multiple Rack Cooking  
2-rack: Use rack positions 2 and 5.  
Baking Layer Cakes on 2 Racks

necessary to wait for the oven preheat cycle to end before putting  
food in unless it is recommended in the recipe.  
PRECISE BAKE Temperature Management System  
The PRECISE BAKE system electronically regulates the oven heat  
levels during preheat and bake to maintain a precise temperature  
range for optimal cooking results. The bake and broil elements  
cycle on and off in intervals. The bake element will glow red when  
cycling on; the broil element will not. This feature is automatically  
activated when the oven is in use.  
Preheating  
When START is pressed, the oven will begin preheating. Once  
170ºF (75ºC) is reached, the display temperature will increase as  
the actual temperature of the oven increases. When the preheat  
temperature is reached, a tone will sound, and the selected  
temperature will appear on the display.  
Before baking and roasting, position racks according to  
“Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section. When roasting, it is not  
Broiling  
Broiling uses direct radiant heat to cook food. Changing the  
temperature when Custom Broiling allows more precise control  
when cooking. The lower the temperature, the slower the cooking.  
Thicker cuts and unevenly shaped pieces of meat, fish and poultry  
may cook better at lower broiling temperatures.  
If you would like to purchase a broiler pan, one may be ordered.  
Please refer to the cover for contact information. Ask for Part  
Number 4396923.  
It is not necessary to preheat the oven before putting food in unless  
recommended in the recipe. Position food on grid in a broiler pan,  
then place it in the center of the oven rack. Close the door to  
ensure proper broiling temperature.  
For best results, use a broiler pan and grid. It is designed to  
drain juices and help avoid spatter and smoke.
