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 back-
guard 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.
– SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS –
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to pub-
lish a list of substances known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproduc-
tive harm, and requires businesses to warn if potential exposure to such substances.
WARNING: This product contains a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth
defects, or other reproductive harm.
This appliance can cause low-level exposure to some of the substances listed, including benzene,

your local U.S. Government Agricultural

manufacture home canning products.
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.

#
IMPORTANT: Always use oven mitts when
handling a hot griddle.
Before using a griddle for the first time, wash it
in hot, soapy water, rinse and dry.
•
On gas cooktops, burner grates must be used
to properly position griddle above burner flames.
•
Never use high heat. Excessive heat will cause
discoloration, will shorten the life of the non-stick
surface and may cause damage to the cooktop.
•
Preheat griddle on medium setting, then adjust
for cooking. Use only medium to low settings.
•
Never cut food with a metal utensil or knife while
Cleaning the griddle
•
on the griddle surface. It may damage the
non-stick finish. Use only plastic, rubber, or
wooden utensils.
Clean the griddle only after it has cooled.
•
•
After each use, thoroughly wash griddle in hot,
soapy water, rinse and dry. Use non-abrasive
plastic scrubber to remove food build up.
Always turn off the burners before draining the
•
griddle. Drain griddle away from range. Be sure
to wipe any fats and oils from the sides and
bottom before returning griddle to the range.
Never put the griddle in the dishwasher.
Dishwashing detergents will corrode the aluminum.
•
Avoid sudden temperature changes such as
running water on a hot griddle. This may cause
warping.

After broiling, remove the pan from the oven
when removing the food. Drippings will bake on

cleaning more difficult.
To make sure the juices drain well, do not cover
the grid with foil.

For easier cleaning, line the bottom of the pan

USING THE ELECTRONIC MEALTIMER™ CONTROL
The electronic MEALTIMER control will turn the
oven on and off at times you set, even when you
are not around.
Delayed time baking/roasting is ideal for foods
that do not need a preheated oven, like meats and
casseroles. Do not use delayed time cooking for
cakes, cookies, etc. – they will not rise properly.
Before using the electronic MEALTIMER
control, make sure the clock is set to the correct
time of day. (See the “Setting the clock” section.)

Doing so can result in food poisoning
or sickness.

THE 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.
THE STORAGE DRAWER
Use the storage drawer to store cookware. You can
remove the storage drawer to make it easier to
clean under your range.
Removing the storage drawer:
1. Empty the drawer before you remove it. Pull the
drawer straight out to the first stop. (The stops
are small, round objects formed in the slide rail.
They keep the drawer from sliding all the way
out.) Then lift the front of the drawer and pull it
out to the second stop.
2. Lift the back of the drawer slightly and slide it all
the way out.
Replacing the storage drawer:
1. Position the drawer so that the lower drawer
guides rest just inside the front frame lip.
2. Lift the front of the drawer and push it in until
the metal stops on the drawer slide rails clear
the upper drawer guides. Then slide the drawer
closed.

ignition and an uneven flame.
• For the proper flow of gas and ignition of the

agents, or any other material to enter the gas
tube opening or burner ports.
• Gas must flow freely through the gas tube
opening for the burner to light properly. You must
keep this area free of any soil and protect it from
boilovers or spillovers. Always keep the burner
