RANGE SAFETY
Your safety and the safety of others is very important.
We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and
obey all safety messages.
This is the safety alert symbol.
This symbol alerts you to hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.
All safety messages will be preceded by the safety alert symbol and the word “DANGER” or
“WARNING.” These words mean:
You will be killed or seriously injured if you don’t
follow instructions.
wDANGER
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t
follow instructions.
wWARNING
All safety messages will identify the hazard, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can
happen if the instructions are not followed.
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.
wWARNING
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.
•
Slide range back so rear range foot is under anti-tip bracket.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Disconnect the electrical supply before servicing
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical
the appliance.
shock, injury to persons, or damage when using the
range, follow basic precautions, including the
following:
• Never Use the Range for Warming or Heating
the Room.
• 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.
• 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.
• Injuries may result from the misuse of appliance
doors or drawers such as stepping, leaning, or
sitting on the doors or drawers.
• Maintenance – Keep range area clear and free
from combustible materials, gasoline, and other
flammable vapors and liquids.
• 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.
For self-cleaning ranges –
• 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.
• Before Self-Cleaning the Oven – Remove broiler
pan and other utensils. Wipe off all excessive
spillage before initiating the cleaning cycle.
• 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.

Home canning information
Using the right cookware makes a
big difference
The large diameter of most water-bath or pressure
canners combined with high heat settings for long
periods of time can cause damage to the cooktop.
The pan should have a flat bottom, straight sides,
•
and a well-fitting lid.
To protect your range:
Choose medium to heavy gauge (thickness)
cookware.
For best results, use a canner which can be
centered over the surface burner.
•
•
The pan material (metal or glass) affects how
quickly and evenly the pan heats.
Do not place your canner on 2 surface burners
at the same time.
•
•
When using glass or ceramic cookware, check to
make sure it is suitable for use on surface burners.
Start with hot water. This reduces the time

•
the control is set on high. Reduce the heat
setting to the lowest position needed to maintain
a boil or required pressure levels in a pressure
canner.
To avoid tipping, make sure pots and pans are
centered on the grates.

CHARACTERISTICS OF COOKWARE MATERIALS
The pan material affects how fast heat transfers from the surface cooking area through the pan material and how
evenly heat spreads over the pan bottom. Choose pans that provide the best cooking results.
• Heats quickly and evenly.
• Use for all types of cooking.
Aluminum
• Medium or heavy thickness is best for most cooking.
• Used as a core or base in cookware to provide even heating.
• Heats slowly and evenly.
Cast iron
• Good for browning and frying.
• Maintains heat for slow cooking.
• Can be coated with porcelain enamel.
• Heats slowly and unevenly.
• Use on low to medium settings.
• Follow manufacturer’s instructions.
Ceramic or
ceramic glass
• Heats very quickly and evenly.
Copper
• Used as a core or base in cookware to provide even heating.
• Can be used for cooktop cooking if recommended by the
manufacturer.
• Use on low settings.
Earthenware
• See cast iron and stainless steel.
Porcelain enamel-on-steel or
enamel-on-cast iron
• Heats quickly but unevenly.
Stainless steel
•
A core or base of aluminum or copper on the cookware provides
even heating.
• Can be coated with porcelain enamel.

Use pot holders or oven mitts to protect your hands
if rack(s) must be moved while the oven is hot.
•
3 or 4 pans
In opposite corners on
each oven rack. Stagger
pans so no pan is directly

For best performance, cook on one rack. Place
the rack so the top of the food will be centered in
the oven.

THE OVEN VENT
Oven vent
Hot air and moisture escape from the oven through
a vent that is near the middle of the backguard.
The vent lets air circulate properly. Be careful not to
block the vent, or you will get poor baking/roasting
results.
NOTE: Never store plastics, paper, or other items
that could melt or burn near the oven vent, or any
of the surface burners.
