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.

To check if the device is installed and engaged properly,
remove the storage drawer and inspect the rear leveling leg.
Make sure it fits securely into the slot.

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.

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.

■ 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

climbing on the range
to reach items could be
seriously injured.
T

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

cause severe burns.
■ Do not leave children
alone—children should
not be left alone or

WHEN COOKING PORK…
When cooking pork, follow the directions exactly and always cook
the meat to an internal temperature of at least 170°F. This assures
that, in the remote possibility that trichina may be present in the

Surface Cookware Tips (electric coil models only)
liaoInstr
Use medium- or heavy-weight cookware. Aluminum
cookware conducts heat faster than other metals. Cast-
iron and coated cast-iron cookware are slow to absorb
heat, but generally cook evenly at low to medium heat
settings. Steel pans may cook unevenly if not combined
with other metals.
1″
utcions
Not over 1 inch
For best cooking results, pans should be flat on the
bottom. Match the size of the saucepan to the size of the
surface unit. The pan should not extend over the edge
of the surface unit more than 1 inch.

Wok Cooking
We recommend that you use only a flat-bottomed wok. They are
available at your local retail store.
Do not use woks that have support rings. Use of these
types of woks, with or without the ring in place, can be
dangerous. Placing the ring over the surface unit will
cause a build-up of heat that will damage the porcelain
cooktop. Do not try to use such woks without the ring.
You could be seriously burned if the wok tipped over.

at the correct temperature. Preheating is necessary for good results
when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and breads.

Flooring Under the Range
SaetyInfor
Your range, like many other household items, is heavy and can settle into soft floor coverings
such as cushioned vinyl or carpeting.
When moving the range on this type of flooring, it should be installed on a
1/4″ thick sheet of plywood (or similar material) as follows:
uctions
When the floor covering ends at the front of the range, the area that the range
will rest on should be built up with plywood to the same level or higher than the
floor covering. This will allow the range to be moved for cleaning or servicing.
Prepare for Electrical Connection
2
OpeaigInstr
Effective January 1, 1996 the National Electric Code requires that
new construction (not existing) utilize a 4-conductor connection to an
electric range.
uctions
When installing an electric range in new construction follow Steps 3
and 5 for 4-wire connection.
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 ⁄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.
ips
NOTE: A 4-conductor cord is to be used when the appliance is installed in a mobile home or when
local codes do not permit grounding through the neutral. If conduit is being used, go to Step 6 or 7.

Leveling the Range

laioInstr
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.)
ips
On some models, there are plastic covers which may be removed for easy
adjustment (just squeeze and pull).
ubleshotingT
One of the rear leveling feet will engage the Anti-Tip bracket (allow for some side
to side adjustment). Allow a minimum clearance of 1/8″ between the range and
the leveling foot that is to be installed into the Anti-Tip bracket.
r
T
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.

10 Final Check
Be sure all range controls are in the OFF position before leaving
