IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
Read all instructions before using this appliance.  
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE  
WARNING—  
• The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic  
Enforcement Act requires the Governor of  
California to publish a list of substances known to  
the state to cause birth defects or other reproductive  
harm, and requires businesses to warn customers  
of potential exposure to such substances.  
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 kick  
panel or 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.  
• The fiberglass insulation in self-clean ovens  
gives off a very small amount of carbon  
monoxide during the cleaning cycle. Exposure  
can be minimized by venting with an open  
window or using a ventilation fan or hood.  
• Fluorescent light bulbs contain mercury.  
If your model has a surface light, you must  
recycle the fluorescent light bulb according to  
local, state and federal codes.  
Please refer to the Anti-Tip device information  
in this guide. Failure to take this precaution could  
result in tipping of the range and injury.  
When using electrical appliances, basic safety  
precautions should be followed, including the  
following:  
• 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.  
• Use this appliance only for its intended use  
as described in this guide.  
• Be sure your appliance is properly installed  
and grounded by a qualified technician in  
accordance with the provided installation  
instructions.  
• Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments  
while using the 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 attempt to repair or replace any  
part of your range unless it is specifically  
recommended in this guide. All other servicing  
should be referred to a qualified technician.  
• Use only dry pot holders—moist or  
damp pot holders on hot surfaces may  
• Before performing any service, DISCONNECT  
THE RANGE POWER SUPPLY AT THE  
HOUSEHOLD DISTRIBUTION PANEL BY  
REMOVING THE FUSE OR SWITCHING OFF  
THE CIRCUIT BREAKER.  
result in burns from steam. Do not let  
pot holders touch hot surface units or heating  
elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.  
• For your safety, never use your appliance for  
warming or heating the room.  
• Do not leave children alone—children should  
not be left alone or unattended in an area where an  
appliance is in use. They should never be allowed  
to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.  
• DO NOT STORE OR USE COMBUSTIBLE  
MATERIALS, GASOLINE OR OTHER  
FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND LIQUIDS IN  
THE VICINITY OF THIS OR ANY OTHER  
APPLIANCE.  
• Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang  
on the door, kick panel or storage drawer or  
cooktop. They could damage the range and even  
tip it over, causing severe personal injury.  
(continued next page)  
• Do not store flammable materials in an oven  
or near the cooktop.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
(continued)  
• Keep the hood and grease filters clean to  
• Keep the oven vent unobstructed.  
maintain good venting and to avoid grease fires.  
• Keep the oven free from grease  
buildup.  
• Do not let cooking grease or other flammable  
materials accumulate in or near the range.  
• Place the oven shelf in the desired position  
while the oven is cool. If shelves must be  
handled when hot, do not let pot holder contact  
the heating elements.  
• Do not use water on grease fries.  
Never pick up a flaming pan. Turn  
the controls off. Smother a flaming pan  
on a surface unit by covering the pan completely  
with a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray.  
Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type  
fire extinguisher.  
• Pulling out the shelf to the shelf stop is a  
convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also  
a precaution against burns from touching hot  
surfaces of the door or oven walls.  
Flaming grease outside a pan can be put out by  
covering it with baking soda or, if available, by  
using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam type  
fire extinguisher.  
• When using cooking or roasting bags in the  
oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.  
• Do not use your oven to dry newspapers.  
If overheated, they can catch on fire.  
Flame in the oven can be smothered completely  
by closing the oven door and turning the oven off  
or by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-  
type fire extinguisher.  
• Do not use oven for a storage area. Items stored  
in an oven can ignite.  
• Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils  
or food in the oven when not in use.  
• Do not touch the surface units, the heating  
elements or the interior surface of the oven.  
These surfaces may be hot enough to burn even  
though they are dark in color. During and after  
use, do not touch, or let clothing or other  
flammable materials contact the surface units,  
areas nearby the surface units or any interior area  
of the oven; allow sufficient time for cooling, first.  
Potentially hot surfaces include the cooktop, areas  
facing the cooktop, oven vent opening, surfaces  
near the opening, crevices around the oven door  
and metal trim parts above the door.  
Self-Cleaning Oven  
• Do not clean the door gasket. The door gasket  
is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken  
not to rub, damage or move the gasket.  
• Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial oven  
cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind  
should be used in or around any part of the oven.  
Residue from oven cleaners will damage the inside  
of the oven when the self-clean cycle is used.  
Remember: The inside surface of the oven may  
be hot when the door is opened.  
• Clean only parts listed in this Use and  
Care Guide.  
• 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 meat, it will be killed and the meat  
will be safe to eat.  
• Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the broiler  
pan, grid and other cookware.  
• Be sure to wipe up excess spillage before  
starting the self-cleaning operation.  
• If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions,  
turn the oven off and disconnect the power supply.  
Have it serviced by a qualified technician.  
Oven  
• Stand away from the range when opening the  
oven door. Hot air or steam which escapes can  
cause burns to hands, face and/or eyes.  
• Do not heat unopened food containers.  
Pressure could build up and the container could  
burst, causing an injury.

• Foods for frying should be as dry as possible.  
Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh foods  
can cause hot fat to bubble up and over the sides  
of the pan.  
Cooktop and Radiant Surface Units  
• Use proper pan size—Select cookware having  
flat bottoms large enough to cover the selected  
surface unit. 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 the cookware to the surface  
units will also improve efficiency.  
• Use little fat for effective shallow or deep-fat  
frying. Filling the pan too full of fat can cause  
spillovers when food is added.  
• If a combination of oils or fats will be used  
in frying, stir together before heating, or as fats  
melt slowly.  
• Never leave the surface units unattended at  
high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking and  
greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.  
• Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.  
• Do not operate the radiant surface units if  
the glass is broken. Spillovers or cleaning  
solution may penetrate a broken cooktop and  
create a risk of electrical shock. Contact a  
qualified technician immediately should your  
glass cooktop become broken.  
• Use a deep fat thermometer whenever  
possible to prevent overheating fat beyond  
the smoking point.  
• Clean the cooktop with caution. If a wet  
sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot  
surface unit, be careful to avoid steam burns.  
Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if  
applied to a hot surface.  
• Avoid scratching the glass cooktop. The  
cooktop can be scratched with items such as sharp  
instruments, rings or other jewelry and rivets on  
clothing.  
NOTE: We recommend that you avoid wiping  
any surface unit areas until they have cooled and  
the indicator light has gone off. Sugar spills are  
the exception to this. Please see the Glass  
Cooktop Cleaning section.  
• Never use the glass cooktop surface as a  
cutting board.  
• Do not place or store items that can melt or  
catch fire on the glass cooktop, even when it is  
not being used.  
When the cooktop is cool, use only the  
recommended cleaning cream to clean the cooktop.  
• Be careful when placing spoons or other  
stirring utensils on glass cooktop surface  
when it is in use. They may become hot and  
could cause burns.  
• Use care when touching the cooktop.  
The glass surface of the cooktop will retain  
heat after the controls have been turned off.  
To avoid possible damage to the cooking  
surface, do not apply cleaning cream to the  
glass surface when it is hot.  
To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition  
of flammable materials and spillage, the handle  
of a container should be turned toward the center  
of the range without extending over the nearby  
surface units.  
• After cleaning, use a dry cloth or paper towel to  
remove all cleaning cream residue.  
• Read and follow all instructions and warnings  
on the cleaning cream labels.  
• Always turn the surface units off before  
removing cookware.  
• Keep an eye on foods being fried at high or  
medium high heat settings.  
SAVE THESE  
INSTRUCTIONS  
• When flaming foods are under the hood, turn  
the fan off. The fan, if operating, may spread  
the flame.

HOW DOES THIS COOKTOP COMPARE  
TO YOUR OLD ONE?  
Your new range has a radiant glass cooktop. If you are  
The best types of cookware to use, plus heat-up and  
cool-down times, depend upon the type of burner or  
surface unit you have.  
used to cooking with gas burners or electric surface  
units, you will notice some differences when you use  
the radiant cooktop.  
The following chart will help you to understand the  
differences between radiant cooktops and any other  
type of cooktop you may have used in the past.  
Type of Cooktop  
Description  
How it Works  
Radiant  
(Glass Cooktop)  
Electric coils  
under a glass  
cooktop.  
Heat travels to the glass surface and then to the cookware, so pans must be flat  
on the bottom for good cooking results. The glass cooktop stays hot enough to  
continue cooking after it is turned off. Remove the pan from the surface unit if  
you want cooking to stop.  
Induction  
High frequency  
induction coils  
under a glass  
surface.  
Pans must be made of ferrous metals (metal that attracts a magnet). Heat is  
produced by a magnetic circuit between the coil and the pan. Heats up right away  
and changes heat settings right away, like a gas cooktop. After turning the control  
off, the glass cooktop is hot from the heat of the pan, but cooking stops right away.  
Electric Coil  
Flattened metal  
tubing containing  
electric resistance  
wire suspended  
over a drip pan.  
Heats by direct contact with the pan and by heating the air under the pan. For best  
cooking results, use good quality pans. Electric coils are more forgiving of  
warped pans than radiant or solid disks. Heats up quickly but does not change  
heat settings as quickly as gas or induction. Electric coils stay hot enough to  
continue cooking for a short time after they are turned off.  
Solid Disk  
Solid cast iron  
disk sealed to the  
cooktop surface.  
Heats by direct contact with the pan, so pans must be flat on the bottom for good  
cooking results. Heats up and cools down more slowly than electric coils. The  
disk stays hot enough to continue cooking after it is turned off. Remove the pan  
from the solid disk if you want the cooking to stop.  
Gas Burners  
Regular or sealed  
gas burners use  
either LP gas  
Flames heat the pans directly. Pan flatness is not critical to cooking results, but  
pans should be well balanced. Gas burners heat the pan right away and change  
heat settings right away. When you turn the control off, cooking stops right away.  
or natural gas.

General Information About Radiant Surface Units  
The radiant cooktop features heating units beneath a  
smooth glass surface. The surface units are shown by  
outlines on the glass.  
Use only flat-bottomed cookware. Do not let pots boil  
dry. Overheated metal can bond to glass cooktop. An  
overheated copper pot will leave a residue that will  
permanently stain the glass.  
Before you use the cooktop for the first time, clean  
it with cleaning cream. This helps protect the top  
and makes clean-up easier.  
Sliding aluminum cookware across the glass may  
leave metal marks. These metal marks will appear as  
small scratches. They can be removed with cleaning  
cream and a razor scraper.  
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.  
It is safe to place hot cookware from the oven or surface  
on the glass surface when the surface is cool.  
When a surface unit is turned on, coils beneath the  
surface unit radiate heat through the glass to the  
cookware. The red glow of the coils will be visible  
through the glass. It will take the surface unit a few  
moments to heat up. The coil cycles on and off to  
maintain your selected control setting. With poor  
cookware, you will see frequent cycling of the unit  
off and on. Good, flat cookware will minimize  
the cycling.  
Avoid sliding pans on the glass cooktop. Pan edges  
that are even slightly rough or grit on the cooktop can  
cause scratches on the glass.  
Even after the surface units are turned off, the glass  
cooktop retains enough heat to continue cooking. To  
avoid overcooking, remove pans from the surface units  
when the food is cooked. Avoid placing anything on the  
surface unit until it has cooled completely.  
The Hot Surface Lights will stay lit until the cooktop  
is safe to touch. It is not unusual for the lights to stay  
lit for 30 minutes.  
Hot Surface Indicator Light  
A “HOT SURFACE” light will glow brightly when  
any radiant element is turned on, and will remain lit  
after the unit is turned off until the surface is cool  
enough to touch. Each element has its own “HOT  
SURFACE” indicator light.

SURFACE CONTROLS  
At both OFF and HI the control “clicks” into position. You may hear slight  
“clicking” sounds during cooking, indicating the control is keeping the unit  
at the heat level or power level you set.  
Switching heats to higher settings always shows a quicker change than  
switching to lower settings.  
How to Set the Controls  
Push the knob in and turn in  
either direction to the setting  
you want.  
Be sure you turn the control knob to OFF when you  
finish cooking.  
The surface unit “on” indicator light will glow  
when ANY surface unit is on.  
Cooking Guide for Using Heat Settings  
HI—Used to begin cooking or to bring water to a  
boil. Reduce heat setting after water boils.  
Medium High—(Setting halfway between HI and  
MED) Maintains a fast boil on large amounts of food.  
Medium  
Low  
Medium  
High  
MED—Sauté and brown; keeps food at a medium boil.  
Medium Low—(Setting halfway between MED and  
LO) Cook after starting at HI; cooks with little water  
in covered pan.  
LO—Used for long slow cooking (simmering) to  
tenderize and develop flavors. Use this setting to melt  
butter and chocolate or to keep foods warm.  
Appearance may vary.  
NOTE: The surface unit “on” indicator light may  
glow between LO and OFF, but there is no power  
to the surface units.  
Special Notes for Glass Cooktops:  
Cooktop temperatures increase with the number of  
surface units that are on. With 3 or 4 units turned  
on, surface temperatures are high so be careful  
when touching the cooktop. The hot surface  
indicator light will remain lit after the surface unit  
is off until the surface is cool enough to touch.  
• When a surface unit is turned on, the unit can be  
seen glowing red within a few seconds. The red  
glow will turn on and off (cycling) to maintain the  
selected heat setting. With poor cookware, you will  
see frequent cycling of the unit off and on. Good,  
flat cookware will minimize the cycling. See the  
Surface Cookware Tips section.  
NOTE:  
• It is safe to place hot cookware from the oven or  
surface on the glass surface when it is cool.  
• At HI and Medium High settings never leave food  
unattended. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy  
spillovers may catch fire.  
• At Medium Low and LO settings melt chocolate  
and butter on a small surface unit.

SURFACE COOKWARE TIPS  
Types of Cookware  
The following information will help you choose  
cookware which will give good performance.  
Copper Bottom:  
Good performance, but copper may leave residues  
which can appear as scratches. The residues can be  
removed, as long as the cooktop is cleaned  
immediately. However, do not let these pots boil dry.  
Overheated metal can bond to glass cooktops.  
An overheated copper pot will leave a residue that  
will permanently stain the cooktop.  
Stainless Steel: highly recommended  
Especially good with a sandwich clad bottom. The  
sandwich bottom combines the benefits of stainless  
steel (appearance, durability and stability) with the  
advantages of aluminum or copper (heat conduction,  
even heat distribution).  
Porcelain/enamel:  
Aluminum: heavy weight recommended  
Good performance only with a thick, flat, smooth  
bottom. Avoid boiling dry, as porcelain can melt and  
fuse to the surface.  
Good conductivity. Aluminum residues sometimes  
appear as scratches on the cooktop, but can be removed  
if cleaned immediately. Because of its low melting  
point, thin weight aluminum should not be used.  
Glass-ceramic: usable, but not recommended  
Poor performance. May scratch the surface.  
Cast Iron: usable, but not recommended  
Poor performance. May scratch the surface.  
Stoneware: usable, but not recommended  
Poor performance. May scratch the surface.  
• Place only dry pans on the  
surface units. Do not place  
lids on the surface units,  
particularly wet lids.  
• Do not use woks that have  
support rings. This type of  
wok will not heat on glass  
cooktops.  
• Some special cooking procedures require specific  
cookware such as pressure cookers, deep fat fryers,  
etc. All cookware must have flat bottoms and be the  
correct size.  
• We recommend that you use  
only a flat-bottomed wok.  
They are available at your  
local retail store. The bottom  
of the wok should have the same diameter  
as the surface unit to insure proper contact.

SURFACE COOKWARE TIPS  
(continued)  
How to Check Pan Performance  
Use of correct cookware can affect the cooking  
performance and cleaning of your cooktop.  
The correct cookware reduces the temperature of  
the cooktop surface and minimizes the chance of  
spillovers burning onto the cooktop.  
Pans with rounded, curved, ridged or warped  
bottoms are not recommended.  
You must use pans with perfectly flat bottoms.  
Some pans may have curved or rounded bottoms or  
may be warped. If you are unsure of the flatness of  
your pans you may do this quick test.  
Another simple test to determine even heat distribution  
across the cookware bottom is to put one inch of water  
in the pan. Bring the water to a boil and observe the  
location of bubbles as the water starts to boil. Good  
flat cookware will have an even distribution of bubbles  
over the bottom surface area of the pan. Bubbles  
localized in only a portion of the bottom indicate  
uneven contact of the pan to the surface unit, uneven  
heat transfer or an unsuitable pan.  
Turn your pan upside  
down on the countertop,  
place a ruler flat against  
the pan surface. The  
bottom of the pan and the  
straight edge of the ruler  
should fit flush against each other all the way across.  
Turn the ruler a full 360 degrees, checking for any  
space between the ruler and the bottom of the pan.  
Use pans that match the diameter of the surface  
unit. Cooking performance will not be as good if  
the cookware is either smaller or larger than the  
surface unit.  
SPECIAL CAUTIONS FOR GLASS COOKTOPS  
• Never cook directly on the  
glass. Always use  
cookware.  
• Do not slide cookware  
across the cooktop because  
it can scratch the glass—  
the glass is scratch  
resistant, not scratch  
proof.  
SURFACE  
COOKING  
DRAGGING  
• Don’t store heavy items  
above the cooktop. If they  
drop onto the cooktop,  
they can cause damage.  
• Always place the pan in  
the center of the surface  
unit you are cooking on.  
OFF CENTER  
DROPPING  
• Do not use the surface as a  
cutting board.

HOME CANNING TIPS  
Canning should be done on the cooktop only.  
HOWEVER, DO NOT USE LARGE DIAMETER  
CANNERS OR OTHER LARGE DIAMETER POTS  
FOR FRYING OR BOILING FOODS OTHER  
THAN WATER. Most syrup or sauce mixtures—  
and all types of frying—cook at temperatures much  
higher than boiling water. Such temperatures could  
eventually harm the glass cooktop surfaces.  
Pots that extend beyond 1 inch of the surface unit  
circle are not recommended for most surface cooking.  
However, when canning with water-bath or pressure  
canner, larger-diameter pots may be used. This is  
because boiling water temperatures (even under  
pressure) are not harmful to the cooktop surfaces  
surrounding the surface units.  
Observe the Following Points in Canning  
1. Be sure the canner fits over the center of the surface  
unit. If your cooktop or its location does not allow  
the canner to be centered on the surface unit, use  
smaller diameter pots for good canning results.  
3. When canning, use recipes and procedures from  
reputable sources. Reliable recipes and procedures  
are available from the manufacturer of your canner;  
manufacturers of glass jars for canning, such as Ball  
and Kerr; and the United States Department of  
Agriculture Extension Service.  
2. Flat-bottomed canners must be used. Do not use  
canners with flanged or rippled bottoms (often  
found in enamelware) because they don’t make  
enough contact with the surface units and take  
too long to boil water.  
4. Remember that canning is a process that generates  
large amounts of steam. To avoid burns from steam  
or heat, be careful when canning.  
NOTE: If your house has low voltage, canning may  
take longer than expected, even though directions  
have been carefully followed. The process time will  
be shortened by:  
RIGHT  
WRONG  
(1) using a pressure canner, and  
(2) starting with HOT tap water for fastest heating  
of large quantities of water.  
Flat-bottomed canners are required for glass cooktops.  
CAUTION:  
Since you must make sure to process the canning  
jars for the prescribed time, with no interruption  
in processing time, you cannot can on any of  
the cooktop surface units if your canner is not  
flat enough.  
Safe canning requires that harmful microorganisms  
are destroyed and that the jars are sealed  
completely. When canning foods in a water-bath  
canner, a gentle but steady boil must be  
maintained for the required time. When canning  
foods in a pressure canner, the pressure must be  
maintained for the required time.  
What is a Temperature Limiter?  
Every radiant surface unit has a Temperature  
Limiter. The Temperature Limiter protects the  
glass cooktop from getting too hot.  
After you have adjusted the controls, it is  
very important to make sure the prescribed  
boil or pressure levels are maintained for the  
required time.  
The Temperature Limiter may cycle the units off for  
a time if:  
The cooktop surface units have temperature  
limiters that prevent the glass cooktop from getting  
too hot. If the bottom of your canner is not flat, the  
surface unit can overheat, triggering the  
temperature limiters to cycle the unit off for a  
time. This will stop the boil or reduce the pressure  
in the canner.  
• The pan boils dry.  
• The pan bottom is not flat.  
• The pan is off center.  
• There is no pan on the unit.

GLASS COOKTOP CLEANING  
Glass Cooktop Cleaning  
Cleaning of glass cooktops is different from cleaning a  
standard porcelain finish. To maintain and protect the  
surface of your new glass cooktop follow these basic steps.  
SPECIAL CARE: Sugary spillovers (such as jellies,  
fudge, candy syrups) or melted plastics can cause  
pitting of the surface of your cooktop (not covered by  
the warranty) unless the spill is removed while still  
hot. Special care should be taken when removing  
hot substances. Follow these instructions carefully  
and remove soil while spill is still hot.  
Before you use the cooktop for the first time, clean  
it with cleaning cream. This helps protect the top  
and makes clean-up easier.  
DAILY CLEANING: Use only a recommended  
cleaning cream, such as Cerama Brite or the  
Cooktop Cleaning Creme, on the glass cooktop.  
1. Turn off all surface units affected by the spillover.  
Remove hot pans.  
2. Wearing an oven mitt, hold the  
razor scraper at a 30° angle to the  
cooktop and scrape hot spill to a  
cool area outside the surface unit.  
For normal, light soil:  
1. Rub a few drops (less is better) of the cleaning  
cream onto soiled area using a damp paper towel.  
Buff with a dry paper towel until all soil and cream  
are removed. Frequent cleaning leaves a protective  
coating which is essential in preventing scratches  
and abrasions.  
3. With the spill in a cool area, use a dry paper towel to  
remove any excess. Any spillover remaining should  
be left until the surface of the cooktop has cooled.  
Do not continue to use the soiled surface unit until all  
of the spillover has been removed. Follow the steps  
under Heavy Soil to continue the cleaning process.  
2. Clean the surface with the cleaning cream after  
each use.  
For heavy, burned on soil:  
1. Apply a few drops of the cleaning cream to the  
(cool) soiled area.  
COOKTOP SEAL:  
To clean the cooktop seal, let a  
wet cloth rest on it for a few minutes, then wipe clean.  
Use a mild detergent if needed. Do not use a knife or any  
sharp object on the seal because it will cut or damage it.  
2. Using a damp paper towel, rub the cream into the  
burned on area. As with any burned on spill, this  
may require some effort.  
GENERAL INFORMATION: As the cleaning  
cream cleans, it leaves a protective coating on the  
cooktop surface. This coating helps to prevent build-  
up of mineral deposits (water spots) and will make  
future cleaning easier. Dishwashing detergents remove  
this protective coating and therefore make the cooktop  
more susceptible to staining.  
3. Carefully scrape soil with razor scraper. Hold  
scraper at a 30° angle against the glass cooktop.  
4. If any soil remains, repeat the steps listed above. For  
additional protection, after all soil has been removed,  
polish the entire surface with the cleaning cream.  
To conveniently order more cream and/or scrapers  
for cleaning your glass cooktop, please call our toll  
free number:  
5. Buff with a dry paper towel.  
NOTE:  
• Using a razor scraper will not damage the surface  
if the 30° angle is maintained.

• Be sure to use a new, sharp razor scraper. Do not use  
a dull or nicked blade.  
Scraper  
Cream and scraper kit  
Store the razor scraper out of reach of children.  
PRECAUTIONS  
• If you slide aluminum or copper cookware across  
the surface of your cooktop, they may leave metal  
markings which appear as scratches. If this should  
happen, use the razor scraper and cleaning cream to  
remove these markings. Failure to remove these  
residues immediately may leave permanent marks.  
• If pots with a thin overlay of aluminum, copper or  
enamel are allowed to boil dry, the overlay may bond  
with the glass cooktop and leave a black discoloration.  
This should be removed immediately before heating  
again or the discoloration may be permanent.  
Most cleaners contain ammonia, chemicals and  
abrasives which can damage the surface of your  
cooktop. Use only the recommended cleaning  
cream for proper cleaning and protection of  
your glass cooktop.  
• 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.  
Read and follow all instructions and warnings  
on the cleaning cream labels.

set them properly.  
4. Keep this guide handy so you can refer to it,  
especially during the first weeks of using your  
new range.  
2. Check the oven interior. Look at the shelves. Take  
a practice run at removing and replacing them  
properly to give sure, sturdy support.  
Oven Shelves  
The shelves are designed with stop-locks so that  
when placed correctly on the shelf supports, they  
will stop before coming completely out from the  
oven, and will not tilt when removing food from or  
placing food on them.  
Bump  
When placing cookware on a shelf, pull the shelf out  
to the bump on the shelf support. Place the cookware  
on the shelf, then slide the shelf back into the oven.  
This will eliminate reaching into the hot oven.  
To remove a shelf from the oven, pull it toward you,  
tilt the front end upward and pull it out.  
To replace, place the shelf on the shelf support with  
the stop-locks (curved extension of the shelf) facing  
up toward the rear of the oven. Tilt up the front and  
push the shelf toward the back of the oven until it  
goes past the bump on the shelf support. Then lower  
the front of the shelf and push it all the way back.  
Shelf Positions  
The oven has 4 shelf supports as identified in  
this illustration as A (bottom), B, C and D (top).

BAKING  
Do not lock the oven door with the latch during  
baking. The latch is used for self-cleaning only.  
If you think an adjustment is necessary, see the Adjust  
the Oven Thermostat section. It gives easy Do It  
Yourself instructions on how to adjust the thermostat.  
Your oven temperature is controlled very accurately  
using an oven control system. We recommend that  
you operate the range for a number of weeks using the  
time given on recipes as a guide to become familiar  
with your new oven’s performance.  
NOTE: When the oven is hot, the top and outside  
surfaces of the range get hot too.  
How to Set Your Range for Baking  
To avoid possible burns, place the shelves in the  
correct position before you turn the oven on.  
2. Check food for doneness at minimum time on  
recipe. Cook longer if necessary.

Preheating  
Baking Pans  
Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it. Preheat means  
bringing the oven up to the specified temperature before  
putting the food in the oven. To preheat, set the oven at  
the correct temperature—selecting a higher temperature  
does not shorten preheat time.  
Use the proper baking pan. The type of finish on the  
pan determines the amount of browning that will occur.  
• Dark, rough or dull pans absorb heat resulting in a  
browner, crisper crust. Use this type for pies.  
• Shiny, bright and smooth pans reflect heat, resulting  
in a lighter, more delicate browning. Cakes and  
cookies require this type of pan.  
• Glass baking dishes also absorb heat. When baking  
in glass baking dishes, the temperature may need to  
be reduced by 25°F.  
Preheating is necessary for good results when baking  
cakes, cookies, pastry and breads. For most casseroles  
and roasts, preheating is not necessary. For ovens  
without a preheat indicator light or tone, preheat  
10 minutes. After the oven is preheated, place the  
food in the oven as quickly as possible to prevent  
heat from escaping.  
18

Pan Placement  
For even cooking and proper browning, there must be  
enough room for air circulation in the oven. Baking  
results will be better if baking pans are centered as  
much as possible rather than being placed to the front  
or to the back of the oven.  
Pans should not touch each other or the walls of  
1
2
the oven. Allow 1- to 1 ⁄ -inch space between pans  
as well as from the back of the oven, the door and  
the sides. If you need to use two shelves, stagger the  
pans so one is not directly above the other.  
Baking Guides  
When using prepared baking mixes, follow package recipe or instructions  
for the best baking results.  
Cookies  
Aluminum Foil  
When baking  
cookies, flat cookie  
sheets (without  
sides) produce  
better-looking  
cookies. Cookies  
baked in a jelly roll  
pan (short sides all  
around) may have  
darker edges and  
pale or light browning may occur.  
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 placing it on a  
lower shelf several  
inches below the food.  
Do not use a cookie sheet so large that it touches the  
walls or the door of the oven. Never entirely cover  
a shelf with a large cookie sheet.  
For best results, use only one cookie sheet in the oven  
at a time.  
Pies  
Cakes  
For best results, bake pies in dark, rough or dull pans  
to produce a browner, crisper crust. Frozen pies in foil  
pans should be placed on an aluminum cookie sheet  
for baking since the shiny foil pan reflects heat away  
from the pie crust; the cookie sheet helps retain it.  
When baking cakes, warped or bent pans will cause  
uneven baking results and poorly shaped products.  
A cake baked in a pan larger than the recipe  
recommends will usually be crisper, thinner and  
drier than it should be. If baked in a pan smaller than  
recommended, it may be undercooked and batter may  
overflow. Check the recipe to make sure the pan size  
used is the one recommended.  
Don’t Peek  
Set the timer for the estimated cooking time and do  
not open the door to look at your food. Most recipes  
provide minimum and maximum baking times such as  
“bake 30-40 minutes.”  
DO NOT open the door to check until the minimum  
time. Take advantage of the “Big View” window (on  
some models) to monitor cooking progress. Opening  
the oven door frequently during cooking allows heat  
to escape and makes baking times longer. Your baking  
results may also be affected.

ROASTING  
Do not lock the oven door with the latch during  
Most meats continue to cook slightly while standing,  
after being removed from the oven. Standing time  
recommended for roasts is 10 to 20 minutes. This  
allows roasts to firm up and makes them easier to  
carve. Internal temperature will rise about 5° to 10°F.;  
to compensate for temperature increase, if desired,  
remove the roast from the oven sooner (at 5° to 10°F.  
less than the temperature in the Roasting Guide).  
roasting. The latch is used for self-cleaning only.  
Roasting is cooking by dry heat. Tender meat or  
poultry can be roasted uncovered in your oven.  
Roasting temperatures, which should be low and  
steady, keep spattering to a minimum.  
Roasting is really a baking procedure used for meats.  
Therefore, the oven controls are set for Baking or  
Timed Baking. (You may hear a light clicking sound,  
indicating the oven is working properly.) Timed  
Baking will turn the oven on and off automatically.  
Remember that food will continue to cook in the hot  
oven and therefore should be removed when the  
desired internal temperature has been reached.

Use of Aluminum Foil  
You can use aluminum foil to line the broiler pan.  
This makes clean-up easier when using the pan for

Questions and Answers  
Q. Is it necessary to check for doneness with a  
meat thermometer?  
Q. Do I need to preheat my oven each time I cook  
a roast or poultry?  
A. Checking the finished internal temperature at  
the completion of cooking time is recommended.  
Temperatures are shown in the Roasting Guide.  
For roasts over 8 lbs., check with thermometer  
at half-hour intervals after half the cooking time  
has passed.  
A. It is not necessary to preheat your oven.  
Q. When buying a roast, are there any special tips  
that would help me cook it more evenly?  
A. Yes. Buy a roast as even in thickness as possible,  
or buy rolled roasts.  
Q. Can I seal the sides of my foil “tent” when  
roasting a turkey?  
Q. Why is my roast crumbling when I try to  
carve it?  
A. Sealing the foil will steam the meat. Leaving it  
unsealed allows the air to circulate and brown  
the meat.  
A. Roasts are easier to slice if allowed to cool 10 to  
20 minutes after removing them from the oven.  
Be sure to cut across the grain of the meat.  
ROASTING GUIDE  
Frozen Roasts  
Frozen roasts of beef, pork, lamb, etc., can be started  
without thawing, but allow 10 to 25 minutes per  
pound additional time (10 minutes per pound for  
roasts under 5 pounds, more time for larger roasts).  
Make sure poultry is thawed before roasting.  
Unthawed poultry often does not cook evenly. Some  
commercial frozen poultry can be cooked successfully  
without thawing. Follow the directions given on the  
package label.

BROILING  
Do not lock the oven door with the latch while  
broiling. The latch is used for self-cleaning only.  
Turn the food only once during broiling. Time the  
foods for the first side according to the Broiling Guide.  
Broiling is cooking food by intense radiant heat from the  
upper broil element in the oven. Most fish and tender  
cuts of meat can be broiled. Follow these directions to  
keep spattering and smoking to a minimum.  
Turn the food, then use the times given for the second  
side as a guide to the preferred doneness.  
1. If the meat has fat or gristle around the edge, cut  
vertical slashes through both about 2 inches apart.  
If desired, the fat may be trimmed, leaving layer  
about 1/8 inch thick.  
4. Leave the door open to the broil  
stop position. The door stays open  
by itself, yet the proper temperature  
is maintained in the oven.  
2. Place the meat on the broiler grid in the broiler pan.  
Always use the grid so the fat drips into the broiler  
pan; otherwise the juices may become hot enough  
to catch on fire.  
5. Turn the Oven Temperature knob to BROIL.  
Make sure you turn the knob all the way to the  
BROIL position.  
6. Turn the food only once during broiling. Time the  
3. Position a shelf on the recommended shelf position  
foods for the first side according to the Broiling Guide.  
as suggested in the Broiling Guide.  
7. When broiling is finished, turn the Oven Temperature  
knob to OFF. Serve the food immediately, and leave  
the pan outside the oven to cool during the meal for  
easiest cleaning.  
Use of Aluminum Foil  
You can use aluminum foil to line your broiler pan  
and broiler grid. However, you must mold the foil  
tightly to the grid and cut slits in it just like the grid.  
Without the slits, the foil will prevent fat and meat  
juices from draining to the broiler pan. The juices  
could become hot enough to catch on fire. If you do  
not cut the slits, you are frying, not broiling.  
Questions and Answers  
Q. When broiling, is it necessary to always  
use a grid in the pan?  
Q. Why are my meats not turning out as brown  
as they should?  
A. Yes. Using the grid suspends the meat over the  
pan. As the meat cooks, the juices fall into the pan,  
thus keeping meat drier. Juices are protected by the  
grid and stay cooler, thus preventing excessive  
spatter and smoking.  
A. In some areas, the power (voltage) to the range  
may be low. In these cases, preheat the broil  
element for 10 minutes before placing broiler pan  
with food in oven. Check to see if you are using  
the recommended shelf position. Broil for the  
longest period of time indicated in the Broiling  
Guide. Turn the food only once during broiling.  
Q. Should I salt the meat before broiling?  
A. No. Salt draws out the juices and allows them to  
evaporate. Always salt after cooking. Turn the  
meat with tongs; piercing the meat with a fork also  
allows the juices to escape. When broiling poultry  
or fish, brush each side often with butter.  
Q. Do I need to grease my broiler grid to prevent  
meat from sticking?  
A. No. The broiler grid is designed to reflect broiler  
heat, thus keeping the surface cool enough to  
prevent the meat from sticking to the surface.  
However, spraying the broiler grid lightly with  
a vegetable cooking spray before cooking will  
make clean-up easier.

BROILING GUIDE  
Always use a broiler pan and grid. They are  
designed to minimize smoking and spattering by  
trapping juices in the shielded lower part of the pan.  
If desired, marinate meats or chicken before broiling,  
or brush with barbecue sauce last 5 to 10 minutes only.  
When arranging food on the pan, do not let fatty  
edges hang over the sides. These could soil the  
oven bottom.  
• The oven door should be open to the broil  
stop position.  
• Make sure you turn the knob all the way to the  
BROIL position.

Quick Reminder:  
and the oven door outside the gasket with a  
dampened cloth. The oven front frame and the  
oven door outside the gasket do not get cleaned by  
the self-clean cycle. On these areas use detergent  
and hot water or a soap-filled steel wool pad.  
Rinse well with a vinegar and water solution.  
This will help prevent a brown residue from  
forming when the oven is heated. Buff these areas  
with a dry cloth. Do not clean the gasket.  
1. Latch the door.  
2. Turn the Oven Temperature knob to  
AUTO SELF CLEAN.  
Before a Clean Cycle  
The range must be completely cool in order to set  
the self-clean cycle. You may have to allow the oven  
to cool before you can slide the door latch.  
Do not use abrasives or oven cleaners. Clean the  
top, sides and outside front of the oven door with  
soap and water.  
We recommend venting with an open window or  
using a ventilation fan or hood during the first self-  
clean cycle.  
Make sure the oven light bulb cover is in place.  
Do not rub or clean the door gasket—  
the fiberglass material of the gasket has an

extremely low resistance to abrasion. An intact  
and well-fitting oven door gasket is essential for  
energy-efficient oven operation and good baking  
results. If you notice the gasket becoming worn,  
frayed or damaged in any way or if it has become  
displaced on the door, you should have it replaced.  
NOTE: The oven shelves may be cleaned in the  
self-cleaning oven. However, they will darken, lose  
their luster and become hard to slide.  
2. To avoid heavy smoke in the kitchen during self-  
cleaning, wipe up heavy soil on the oven bottom.  
(If you use soap, rinse thoroughly before self-  
cleaning to prevent staining.) The enamel grid and  
broiler pan may be cleaned in the self-cleaning  
oven. However, to help prevent heavy smoke  
caused by self-cleaning the greasy soil in the pan,  
you must first clean off the excess grease.  
4. Close the door and make sure the oven light  
is off. If the oven light is not turned off, the life  
of the bulb will be shortened or it may burn out  
immediately.  
Do not use commercial oven cleaners or oven  
protectors in or near the self-cleaning oven.  
A combination of any of these products plus the high  
clean cycle temperatures may damage the porcelain  
finish of the oven.

OPERATING THE SELF-CLEANING OVEN  
(continued)  
How to Set the Oven for Cleaning  
Clean cycle time is normally 4 hours and  
20 minutes. On all models except JBP65, you can  
change the clean time to anywhere between 3 hours  
and 5 hours, and 59 minutes, depending on how dirty  
your oven is.  
Quick Reminder:  
1. Latch the door.  
2. Turn the Oven Temperature knob to  
AUTO SELF CLEAN.  
You have one minute to change your clean time.  
Use the HOUR and MIN. pads to change the total  
clean time.  
If the oven is too hot and you start to set a clean cycle,  
you will not be able to slide the latch.  
Allow additional time for cooling before you try to set  
the cycle.  
Both the OVEN ON light and the LATCH DOOR  
light will flash when the clean time is finished.  
1. Follow directions to prepare the oven for cleaning.  
After using the clean cycle, the door latch and the  
Oven Temperature knob must be returned to their  
original positions before you can use the oven.  
2. Slide the latch handle to the

will flash. Slide the latch to the right.  
To Stop A Clean Cycle  
1. Turn the Oven Temperature knob to OFF.  
2. Wait until the oven has cooled below the locking temperature to unlatch  
the door. You will not be able to open the door right away unless the oven  
has cooled below the locking temperature.  
After a Clean Cycle  
You may notice some white ash in the oven.  
NOTE:  
Just wipe it up with a damp cloth after the oven cools.  
You cannot set the oven for cooking until the oven is  
cool enough for the door to be unlatched.  
If white spots remain, remove them with a soap-  
filled steel wool pad. Be sure to rinse thoroughly  
with a vinegar and water mixture. These deposits  
are usually a salt residue that cannot be removed by  
the Clean Cycle.  
• While the oven is self-cleaning, you can press the  
CLOCK pad to display the time of day. To return  
to the clean count down, press the COOK TIME  
ON/OFF pad.

Questions and Answers  
Q. Can I use commercial oven cleaners on any part  
of my self-cleaning oven?  
Q. What causes the hair-like lines on the enameled  
surface of my oven?  
A. No cleaners or coatings should be used around any  
part of this oven. If you do use them and do not  
thoroughly rinse the oven with water, wiping it  
absolutely clean afterwards, the residue can scar  
the oven surface and damage metal parts the next  
time the oven is automatically cleaned.  
Q. What should I do if excessive smoking occurs  
during cleaning?  
A. This is caused by excessive soil. Turn the Oven  
Temperature knob to OFF. Open the windows to  
rid room of smoke. Wait until the LATCH DOOR  
light goes off. Wipe up the excess soil and reset the  
clean cycle.  
A. This is a normal condition, resulting from heating  
and cooling during cleaning. These lines do not  
affect how your oven performs.  
Q. My oven shelves do not slide easily. What is  
the matter?  
A. The self-clean cycle causes the oven shelves to  
lose their luster and become hard to slide. To make  
shelves slide more easily, wipe the shelf supports  
with cooking oil.  
Q. My oven shelves have become gray after the  
self-clean cycle. Is this normal?  
A. Yes. After the self-clean cycle, the shelves will  
lose some luster and change to a deep gray color.  
Q. Is the “crackling” or “popping” sound I hear  
during cleaning normal?  
Q. Can I cook food on the cooktop while the oven  
is self-cleaning?  
A. Yes. This is the sound of the metal heating and cooling  
A. Yes. While the oven is self-cleaning, you can use  
during both the cooking and cleaning functions.  
the cooktop just as you normally do.  
Q. Should there be any odor during the cleaning?  
Q. The LATCH DOOR light flashes when I set the  
clean cycle. What’s wrong?  
A. Yes, there will be an odor during the first few  
cleanings. Failure to wipe out excessive soil might  
also cause a strong odor when cleaning.  
A. The LATCH DOOR light will flash until the latch  
is moved to the right.  
Q. Why do I have ash left in my oven after cleaning?  
A. Some types of soil will leave a deposit which is ash.  
It can be removed with a damp sponge or cloth.

CARE AND CLEANING  
Proper care and cleaning are important so your range will give you efficient  
and satisfactory service. Follow these directions carefully in caring for it to  
help assure safe and proper maintenance.  
BE SURE ELECTRIC POWER IS OFF BEFORE CLEANING ANY PART  
OF THE RANGE.  
If your range is removed for cleaning, servicing or any reason,  
be sure anti-tip device is re-engaged properly when the range  
is replaced. Failure to take this precaution could result in tipping of  
the range and cause injury.  
Oven Light Replacement (on some models)  
CAUTION: Before replacing your oven light bulb,  
disconnect the electrical power to the range at the  
main fuse or circuit breaker panel. Be sure to let  
the light cover and bulb cool completely.  
To replace cover:  
1. Place it into groove of the light receptacle. Pull  
wire forward to the center of the cover until it snaps  
into place. When in place, the wire holds the cover  
firmly. Be certain the wire is in the depression in  
the center of the cover.  
The oven light bulb is covered with a removable glass  
cover that is held in place with a bail-shaped wire.  
Remove the oven door, if desired, to reach cover easily.  
2. Connect electrical power to the range.  
To remove:  
1. Hold a hand under the  
cover so it doesn’t fall when  
released. With fingers of the  
same hand, firmly push back  
the wire cover holder. Lift off  
the cover.

oven operation and good baking results. If you  
notice the gasket becoming worn, frayed or damaged  
in any way or if it has become displaced on the door,  
you should have it replaced.  
To remove the door, open it a  
few inches to the special stop  
position that will hold the door  
open. Grasp firmly on each side  
and lift the door straight up and  
off the hinges.  
NOTE: The gasket is designed with a gap at the  
bottom to allow for proper air circulation.  
Inside Gasket  
Gasket  
NOTE: Be careful not to place hands between the  
hinge and the oven door frame as the hinge could  
snap back and pinch fingers.  
Outside Gasket  
To replace the door, make sure the hinges are in the  
special stop position. Position the slots in the bottom  
of the door squarely over the hinges. Then lower the  
door slowly and evenly over both hinges at the same  
time. If hinges snap back against the oven frame, pull  
them back out. If the oven door is crooked, push  
down on the high corner to straighten it.  
Outside of the door:  
• Use soap and water to thoroughly clean the top,  
sides and front of the oven door. Rinse well. You  
may also use a glass cleaner to clean the glass on the  
outside of the door. To avoid water marks on the  
inside of the door glass, do not let water drip into the  
vent opening.  
TO CLEAN THE DOOR:  
Inside of the door:  
• Because the area inside the gasket is cleaned during  
the self clean cycle, you do not need to clean this by  
hand. Any soap left on the liner causes additional  
stains when the oven is heated.  
• Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces  
and basting materials containing acids may cause  
discoloration and should be wiped up immediately.  
When surface is cool, clean and rinse.  
• The area outside the gasket can be cleaned with a  
scouring pad.  
• Do not use oven cleaners, cleansing powders or  
harsh abrasives on the outside of the door.  
Oven Heating Elements  
Do not clean the bake element or the broil element.  
Broil Element  
Bake Element  
Any soil will burn off when the elements are heated.  
The bake element can be lifted gently to clean the  
oven floor. If spillovers, residue or ash accumulate  
around the bake element gently wipe around the  
element with warm water.

Oven Shelves  
Clean the shelves with an abrasive cleanser or steel  
wool. After cleaning, rinse the shelves with clean  
water, rinse and dry.  
NOTE: The oven shelves may also be cleaned in the  
self-cleaning oven, however, the shelves will darken  
in color, lose their luster and become hard to slide if  
cleaned during the self-cleaning cycle.  
Broiler Pan and Grid  
After broiling, remove the broiler pan from the oven.  
Remove the grid from the pan. Carefully pour out the  
grease from the pan into a proper container. Wash and  
rinse the broiler pan and grid in hot water with a soap-  
filled or plastic scouring pad.  
Both the broiler pan and grid can also be cleaned in  
the dishwasher.  
The enamel grid and broiler pan may be cleaned in  
the self-clean oven. However, to prevent heavy smoke  
caused by self-cleaning the greasy soil in the pan, you  
must first clean off the excess grease.  
Do not store a soiled broiler pan and grid anywhere in  
the range.  
If food has burned on, sprinkle the grid with  
detergent while hot and cover with wet paper  
towels or a dishcloth. Soaking the pan will remove  
burned-on foods.  
The broiler pan may be cleaned with a commercial  
oven cleaner. If the grid is grey enamel, it can also be  
cleaned with an oven cleaner. If the grid is chrome, do  
not use an oven cleaner to clean it.  
How to Remove the Storage Drawer or Kick Panel to Clean Under the Range  
The area under the range can be reached easily  
for cleaning by removing the bottom drawer (on  
some models). To remove, pull the drawer out all  
the way, tilt up the front and remove it. To replace,  
insert glides at the back of the drawer beyond the  
stop on range glides. Lift the drawer if necessary to  
insert easily. Let the front of the drawer down, then  
push in to close.  
To clean under models with a front kick panel,  
remove the panel by pulling it straight out at the  
bottom. To replace the panel, first hook the top tabs  
on and then the bottom tabs.

1 ⁄ inch spacing is recommended from the range  
to adjacent vertical walls above cooktop surface.  
Allow 30 inches minimum clearance between  
surface units and bottom of unprotected wood or  
metal top cabinet, and 15 inches minimum  
between countertop and adjacent cabinet bottom.  
EXCEPTION: Installation of a listed microwave  
oven or cooking appliance over the cooktop shall  
conform to the installation instructions packed  
with that appliance.  
To eliminate the risk of burns or fire by reaching  
over heated surface units, cabinet storage space  
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 min. of 5 inches beyond the  
bottom of the cabinets. Make sure the wall  
covering, countertops and cabinets around the  
range can withstand heat generated by the  
range, oven or cooktop up to 200°F.  
IMPORTANT: OBSERVE ALL GOVERNING  
CODES AND ORDINANCES.  
NOTE TO INSTALLER: Leave these  
instructions with the appliance after  
installation is completed.  
NOTE TO CONSUMER: Keep this Use and

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  
inch thick sheet of plywood (or similar material)  
as follows:

AFTER  
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.

LEVELING THE RANGE  
ANTI-TIP BRACKET INSTALLATION  
AN ANTI-TIP bracket is supplied with instructions  
for installation in a variety of locations. The  
instructions include a template, a parts list and a  
list of tools necessary to complete the installation.  
Read the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
and the instructions that fit your situation before  
beginning installation.  
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 Cleaning Under the Range section in Care  
and Cleaning.) On some models, there are plastic  
covers which may be removed for easy  
adjustment (just squeeze and pull).  
WARNING  
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-  
inch 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 (after the range has been  
properly installed) by removing the kick panel or  
storage drawer and inspecting the rear leveling  
leg. Make sure it fits securely into the slot.  
1. Range must be secured by ANTI-TIP bracket  
supplied.  
2. See instructions to install (supplied with  
bracket).  
3. Unless properly installed, range could be  
tipped by stepping or sitting on door. Injury  
might result from spilled hot liquids or from  
range itself.  
STEP 10  
FINAL CHECK  
Be sure all switches are in the OFF position  
before leaving the range.
