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.

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

interest to children
should not be stored in
cabinets above a range

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.

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

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.

Preheating and Pan Placement
Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it. To preheat, set the oven
at the correct temperature. Preheating is necessary for good results
when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and breads.

Baking results will be better if baking pans are centered in the oven
as much as possible. Pans should not touch each other or the walls
of the oven. If you need to use two shelves, stagger the pans so one

Aluminum Foil
Never entirely cover a shelf with aluminum foil. This will

Cleaning the glass cooktop.
Clean the glass surface with cleaning cream before you use the cooktop for
the first time. Also, clean the glass surface after each use. This helps
protect the top and makes clean-up easier.
SaetyInfor
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.
uctions
Daily Cleaning
Use only a recommended cleaning cream, such as Cerama Brite or
the Cooktop Cleaning Creme, on the glass cooktop.
OpeaigInstr
To maintain and protect the surface of your new glass cooktop
follow these steps.
Before you use the cooktop for the first time, clean it with cleaning
cream. This helps protect the top and makes clean-up easier.
uctions
■ Clean the surface with the cleaning cream after each use.
■ 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.
laioInstr
For heavy, burned-on soil:
Apply a few drops of the cleaning cream to the
(cool) soiled area.

Using a damp paper towel, rub the cream into the burned-on
area. As with any burned-on spill, this may require some effort.

Special Care
Be sure to use a new sharp razor scraper. Do not use a dull or
nicked blade.
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.
OepaigInstr
Using a razor scraper will not damage
the surface if the 30° angle is
maintained.
Turn off all surface units affected by the spillover.

utcions
Remove hot pans.
Wearing an oven mitt, hold the razor scraper at a
30° angle to the cooktop. Scrape the hot spill to a
cool area outside the surface unit.
2
liaoInstr
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.
utcions
NOTE: 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.

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
1/4² 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 ⁄8² diameter connection openings. Care should be taken to

center the cable and strain relief within the knockout hole to keep the edge from

NOTE: A 4-conductor cord is to be used when the appliance is installed in a mobile home or when

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.)

On some models, there are plastic covers which may be removed for easy
adjustment (just squeeze and pull).
