PART NO. 3196280 Rev. B
RANGE SAFETY
This symbol alerts you to hazards such
as fire, electrical shock, or other injuries.
Your safety is important to us.
This guide contains safety statements under warning
symbols. Please pay special attention to these symbols
and follow any instructions given. Here is a brief
explanation of the use of the symbol.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury
to persons, or damage when using the range,
follow basic precautions, including the following:
wWARNING
Do not use the range for warming or
heating the room. Persons could be
burned or injured, or a fire could start.
General
•
Read all instructions before using
the range.
•
Use the range only for its intended use
as described in this manual.
•
Install or locate the range only in accor-
dance with the provided Installation
Instructions. The range must be installed
by a qualified installer. The range must
be properly connected to electrical
supply and grounded.
•
Do not touch surface units, areas near
units, heating elements, or interior
surfaces of oven. Surface units and
heating elements may be hot even
though they are dark in color. Areas
near surface units and interior surfaces
of an oven become hot enough to
cause burns. During and after use, do
not touch or let clothing or other flam-
mable materials contact surface units,
areas near units, heating elements, or
interior surfaces of oven until they have
had sufficient time to cool. Other sur-
faces of the range, such as the oven
vent opening, the surface near the vent
opening, the cooktop, and the oven
door, could also become hot enough to
cause burns.
•
WARNING: To reduce the risk of tipping
the appliance, the appliance must be
secured by a properly installed anti-tip
bracket. To check if the bracket is
installed properly, see “The anti-tip
bracket” on page 27.
•
CAUTION: Do not store things children
might want above the range. Children
could be burned or injured while climb-
ing on it.
•
•
Do not leave children alone or unat-
tended in area where the range is in use.
They should never be allowed to sit or
stand on any part of the range. They
could be burned or injured.
Do not operate the range if it is
damaged or not working properly.

RANGE SAFETY
Coil element cooktop models: Do not
line reflector bowls with aluminum foil
or other liners. Improper installation of
these liners could result in a risk of
electric shock or fire.
•
•
Do not wear loose or hanging garments
Select a pan with a flat bottom that is
about the same size as the surface unit.
If pan is smaller than the surface unit,
some of the heating element will be ex-
posed and could result in the igniting of
clothing or pot holders. Correct pan size
also improves cooking efficiency.
•
•
when using the range. They could ignite
if they touch a hot surface unit and you
could be burned.
Use only dry pot holders. Moist or damp
pot holders on hot surfaces could result
in burns from steam. Do not let pot
holder touch hot heating elements. Do
not use a towel or bulky cloth for a pot
holder. It could catch on fire.
Check to be sure glass cookware is safe
for use on the range. Only certain types
of glass, glass-ceramic, ceramic, earthen-
ware, or other glazed cookware are
suitable for cooktops without breaking due
to the sudden change in temperature.
•
•
Keep range vents unobstructed.
•
•
Do not heat unopened containers. They
could explode. The hot contents could
cause burns and container particles
could cause injury.
Never leave surface units unattended at
high heat settings. A boilover could result
and cause smoking and greasy spillovers
that could ignite.
Use only cookware approved for oven
use. Follow cookware manufacturer’s
instructions, especially when using glass
or plastic cookware.
•
•
Do not store flammable materials on or
near the range. The fumes could create
an explosion and/or fire hazard.
Turn pan handles inward, but not over
other surface units. This will help reduce
the chance of burns, igniting of flammable
materials, and spills due to bumping of
the pan.
•
When using the cooktop
Ceramic glass cooktop model: Do not
cook on a broken cooktop. If the cook-
top should break, cleaning solutions and
spillovers could penetrate the broken
cooktop and create a risk of electrical
shock. Contact a qualified technician
immediately.
•
Coil element cooktop models: Make sure
•
the reflector bowls are in place during
cooking. Cooking without reflector bowls
could subject the wiring and compo-
nents underneath them to damage.

RANGE SAFETY
When using the oven
Always position oven rack(s) in desired
•
location while oven is cool. If a rack must
be removed while oven is hot, do not let
pot holder contact hot heating elements
in oven.
Do not use oven cleaners. No commer-
•
•
cial oven cleaner or oven liner protective
coating of any kind should be used in or
around any part of the oven.
Use care when opening oven door. Let
hot air or steam escape before removing
or replacing food.
•
Before self-cleaning the oven, remove
broiler pan, broiler grid, oven racks, and
other cookware. Do not use your oven to
clean miscellaneous parts unless you
are instructed to do so in this Use and
Care Guide.
Grease
Grease is flammable. Do not allow
grease to collect around cooktop or in
vents. Wipe spillovers immediately.
•
Coil element cooktop models: Do not
soak removable heating elements in
water. The elements will be damaged
and shock or fire could result.
•
•
Ceramic glass cooktop model: Clean
cooktop with care. Some cleaners could
produce noxious fumes if applied to a
hot surface. If a wet soft cloth is used to
wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be
careful to avoid steam burns.
Do not use water on grease fires. Never
•
pick up a flaming pan. Smother flaming
pan on range by covering with a well-
fitting lid, cookie sheet, or flat tray.
Flaming grease outside of pan can be
extinguished with baking soda or, if
available, a multipurpose dry chemical or
foam-type extinguisher.
Do not clean door heat seal. It is
essential for a good seal. Care should
be taken not to rub, damage, or move
the seal. Clean only parts recommended
in this Use and Care Guide.
•
Care and cleaning
Do not repair or replace any part of the
range unless specifically recommended
in this manual. All other servicing should
be referred to a qualified technician.
•
•
Small amounts of formaldehyde and
•
carbon monoxide are given off in the
Self-Cleaning cycle from fiberglass
insulation and food decomposition.
Significant exposure to these substances
could cause cancer or reproductive
harm. Exposure can be minimized by
venting with a hood or open window and
wiping out excess food spills prior to
self-cleaning.
Disconnect the electrical supply before
servicing the range.

Most water-bath or pressure canners have large
diameters. If you do canning with them at high heat
settings for long periods of time, you can shorten the
life of regular surface units. This can also damage the
cooktop. If you plan to use the cooktop for canning,
we recommend the installation of a Canning Kit.
Order the kit (Part No. 242905) from your Roper
dealer or authorized Roper service company.

Do not place items on the oven door when it
is open.
•
Using insulated bakeware, ovenproof
glassware, and dark metal pans
When baking with insulated cookie sheets or
•
baking pans, place them in the bottom third of
the oven. You may need to increase the recom-
mended baking times, so test for doneness
before removing from the oven.
When using ovenproof glassware or dark
•
bakeware, reduce the oven temperature by 25°F
but use the same baking time. Because these
pans absorb heat, producing darker bottom
browning and crispier crusts, place the rack in
the center of the oven. When baking pies and
bread, you can use the temperature suggested in
the recipe.

USING YOUR RANGE
FOR BEST AIR CIRCULATION
Hot air must circulate around the pans in the oven
for even heat to reach all parts of the oven. This
results in better baking.
Place the pans so that one is not directly over
the other.
•
For best results, allow 11⁄2-2 inches of space
around each pan and between pans and
oven walls.
•
Use only one cookie sheet in the oven at a time.
•
Where to place pans:
WHEN YOU HAVE PLACE
1 pan
In center of the oven rack.
2 pans
Side by side or slightly
staggered.
3 or 4 pans
In opposite corner on each
oven rack. Stagger pans
so no pan is directly over
another.
USING ALUMINUM FOIL FOR BAKING
Use aluminum foil to catch spillovers from pies
or casseroles:
Place the foil on the oven rack below the rack
Do not line the oven bottom or the entire oven rack
with foil or other liners. It could affect the quality of
your baking.
•
•
with the food. Turn up
the foil edges and make
sure the foil is about
1 inch larger all around
than the dish holding
the food.
Do not cover the entire
•
rack with aluminum foil.
It will reduce air circula-
tion and give you poor
cooking results.

ADJUSTING THE OVEN TEMPERATURE CONTROL
Although your new oven is properly adjusted to
provide accurate temperatures, it may cook faster
or slower than your old oven.
If you are not satisfied with the baking/roasting
results, you can change the temperature calibration
by following the steps below.
NOTE: DO NOT measure the oven temperature with
a thermometer. Opening the oven door will lower
the oven temperature and give you an incorrect
reading. Also, the thermometer temperature reading
will change as your oven cycles.

Broiling guide
Recommended rack positions are numbered from
the bottom (1) to the top (5). For best results, turn
meat after approximately 2⁄3 of the broiling time.
Turn chicken pieces after approximately half of

Wipe up food spills containing sugar as soon as
possible after the oven cools down. When sugar
is heated to a high temperature in the Self-
Cleaning cycle, the high temperature can cause
the sugar to burn and react with the porcelain.
This can cause staining and etching or pitting.
Remove the oven racks from the oven if you want
them to remain shiny. You can clean the oven
racks in the Self-Cleaning cycle, but they will
become harder to slide. (See page 33.) If you
clean the racks in the Self-Cleaning cycle, place
them on the 2nd and 4th rack guides. (The guides
are counted from bottom to top.)

instructions:
Remove sugar spills and soils from the cooktop
while the surface is still warm to avoid pitting on
the surface.

difficult to remove completely. Use cooktop
polishing creme to clean the area. Several appli-
cations may be necessary.
Do not use steel wool, plastic cleaning pads,
•
gritty powdered cleansers, chlorine bleach, rust
remover, ammonia, or glass cleaning products
with ammonia. These products could damage
the cooktop surface.
