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.
OpeagIructions
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.
laIructions
Please refer to the Anti-Tip device information in this
manual. Failure to take this precaution could result in
tipping of the range and injury.

SURFACE COOKING UNITS
Use proper pan size—select cookware having flat bottoms
large enough to cover the surface unit heating element. The
use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of the
surface unit to direct contact and may result in ignition of

also improve efficiency.

Surface Cookware Tips
laIructions
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″
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.
isp

Use only flat-bottomed woks.

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.
OepagIructions
For ovens without a preheat indicator light or tone,
preheat 10 minutes.
Baking results will be better if baking pans are centered 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 is not directly
above the other.
Aluminum Foil
laIructions
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.
Aluminum foil may be used to
catch a spillover.
You can also use aluminum foil to line the broiler pan
and broiler grid. However, you must mold the foil
tightly to the grid and cut slits in it just like the grid.

Porcelain Enamel Cooktop
The porcelain enamel finish is sturdy but breakable if misused.

This finish is acid-resistant. However, any acidic foods spilled
(such as fruit juices, tomato or vinegar) should not be permitted
to remain on the finish.
If acids spill on the cooktop while it is hot, use a dry paper towel or
cloth to wipe it up right away. When the surface has cooled, wash
with soap and water. Rinse well.
For other spills such as fat spatterings, wash with soap and water or
cleansing powders after the surface has cooled. Rinse well. Polish
with a dry cloth.

Repeated lifting of the surface unit more than 1 inch above
the drip pan can permanently damage the receptacle.
To replace a surface unit:
Replace the drip pan into the recess in the cooktop. Make
sure the opening in the pan lines up with the receptacle.
Insert the terminals of the surface unit through the
opening in the drip pan and into the receptacle.
Guide the surface unit into place so it rests evenly.

Drip Pans
isp
Remove the surface units. Then lift out the drip pans.
For best results, clean the drip pans by hand. Place them in a
covered container (or a plastic bag) with 1/4 cup ammonia to
loosen the soil. Then scrub with a soap-filled scouring pad if
necessary. Rinse with clean water and polish with a clean soft cloth.
CsutomSrvice
The drip pans may also be cleaned in the dishwasher.
Clean the area under the drip pans often. Built-up soil, especially
grease, may catch fire.
Do not cover the drip pans with foil. Using foil so close to the receptacle could
cause shock, fire or damage to the range.

Special Care of Continuous-Cleaning Oven Interior (on some models)
The continuous-cleaning oven cleans itself while cooking.
The oven interior is finished with a special coating that cannot be cleaned in the
usual manner with soap, detergents, steel wool pads, commercial oven cleaners,
coarse abrasive pads or coarse brushes. Use of such cleansers and/or the use of
oven sprays will cause permanent damage.
The special coating is a porous ceramic material, which is dark in
color and feels slightly rough to the touch. If magnified, the surface
would appear as peaks, valleys and sub-surface ‘‘tunnels.’’ This
rough finish tends to prevent grease spatters from forming little
beads or droplets that run down the side walls of a hard-surface
oven liner, leaving unsightly streaks that require hand cleaning.
Instead, when spatter hits the porous finish, it is dispersed and
partially absorbed. This spreading action increases the exposure of
oven soil to heated air and makes it somewhat less noticeable.
OpeagIructions
Soil may not disappear completely and at some time after extended
usage, stains may appear that cannot be removed.
The special coating works best on small amounts of spatter. It does
not work well with larger spills, especially sugars, egg or dairy
mixtures. For this reason, the oven is equipped with a removable,
replaceable aluminum foil oven bottom liner which protects the
porous bottom of the oven from spillovers.
laIructions
ips
This special coating is not used on the oven shelves or on the inside of the oven
door. These should be removed for cleaning to prevent damage to the continuous-
cleaning oven coating.
Use care in removing and replacing the shelves and in placing and
removing dishes and food to avoid scratching, rubbing or otherwise
damaging the porous finish on the oven walls.

If a spillover or heavy soiling occurs on the porous surface, as
4 soon as the oven has cooled, remove as much of the soil as
possible using a small amount of water and a stiff-bristle nylon
brush. Use water sparingly and change it frequently, keeping it
as clean as possible, and be sure to blot it up with paper towels,
cloths or sponges. Do not rub or scrub with paper towels, cloths
or sponges, since they will leave unsightly lint on the oven
finish. If water leaves a white ring on the finish as it dries, apply
water again and blot it with a clean sponge, starting at the edge
of the ring and working toward the center.

Porcelain Oven Interior (on some models)
With proper care, the porcelain enamel finish on the inside of the
SeyIfrmation
oven—top, bottom, sides, back and inside of the door—will stay new-
looking for years.
Let the range cool before cleaning. We recommend that you wear
rubber gloves when cleaning the range.
Soap and water will normally do the job. Heavy spattering or
spillovers may require cleaning with a mild abrasive cleaner. Soapy,
wet metal pads may also be used.
Do not allow food spills with a high sugar or acid content (such as milk, tomatoes,
sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on the surface. They may cause a
dull spot even after cleaning.
OpeagIructions
Household ammonia may make the cleaning job easier. Place
1/2 cup in a shallow glass or pottery container in a cold oven
overnight. The ammonia fumes will help loosen the burned-on
grease and food.
If necessary, you may use an oven cleaner. Follow the package
directions.
Do not spray oven cleaner on the electrical controls and switches because it could
cause a short circuit and result in sparking or fire.
laIructions
Do not allow a film from the cleaner to build up on the temperature sensor—it
could cause the oven to heat improperly. (The sensor is located at the top of the
oven.) Carefully wipe the sensor clean after each oven cleaning, being careful not
to move the sensor as a change in its position could affect how the oven bakes.
ips
Do not spray any oven cleaner on the oven door, handles or any exterior surface of
the oven, cabinets or painted surfaces. The cleaner can damage these surfaces.

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.
