Care and Cleaning Installation Instructions

WARNING!

For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or explosion,

electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.

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, carefully tip the range forward. The Anti-Tip

device should engage and prevent the range from tipping over.

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.

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.

WARNING

ANTI-TIP DEVICE

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:

■Use this appliance only for its intended

purpose as described in this Owner’s

Manual.

■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.

■ Before performing any service, disconnect

the range power supply at the household

distribution panel by removing the fuse or

switching off the circuit breaker.

■ 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 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.

■

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.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

Operating Instructions

Safety InstructionsCare and CleaningInstallation InstructionsTroubleshooting Tips

■ 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.

■ Use only dry pot holders—moist or damp pot

holders on hot surfaces may 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 let cooking grease or other

flammable materials accumulate in

or near the range.

■ Do not use water on grease fires. 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.

■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.

■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 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.

■

REMEMBER:

The inside surface of the oven

may be hot when the door is opened.

■ Do not store or use combustible materials,

gasoline or other flammable vapors and

liquids in the vicinity of this or any other

appliance.

■ Keep the hood and grease filters clean

to maintain good venting and to avoid

grease fires.

WARNING!

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

COOK MEAT AND POULTRY THOROUGHLY…

Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160°F. and poultry to at least an

INTERNAL temperature of 180°F. Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against foodborne illness.

■ 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.

■ Keep the oven vent unobstructed.

■ Keep the oven free from grease buildup.

■ 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.

■ Pulling out the shelf to the stop-lock is a

convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also a

precaution against burns from touching hot

surfaces of the door or oven walls.

■ When using cooking or roasting bags in the

oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.

■ Do not use the oven to dry newspapers. If

overheated, they can catch on fire.

■ Do not use the 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.

Troubleshooting Tips

Operating Instructions

Safety Instructions Care and Cleaning Installation Instructions

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 clothing. Proper relationship of cookware to surface unit will also

improve efficiency.

■Never leave the surface units unattended at

high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking

and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.

■Do not use aluminum foil to line the drip

pans or anywhere in the oven except as

described in this manual. Misuse could

result in a shock, fire hazard or damage

to the range.

■Be sure the drip pans and the vent duct are

not covered and are in place. Their absence

during cooking could damage range parts

and wiring.

■Only certain types of glass, glass ⁄ceramic,

earthenware or other glazed containers are

suitable for cooktop service; others may

break because of the sudden change in

temperature.

■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 nearby surface units.

■Always turn the surface units off before

removing cookware.

■Do not immerse or soak the removable

surface units. Do not put them in a

dishwasher. Do not self-clean the surface

units in the oven.

■When preparing flaming foods under the

hood, turn the fan on.

■To avoid the possibility of a burn or electric

shock, always be certain that the controls for

all surface units are at the

OFF

position and

all coils are cool before attempting to lift or

remove a unit.

■Clean the cooktop with caution. If a wet

sponge is used to wipe spills on a hot

cooktop, be careful to avoid steam burns.

■Keep an eye on foods being fried at high or

medium high heat settings.

■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.

■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.

■Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.

■Use a deep fat thermometer whenever

possible to prevent overheating fat beyond

the smoking point.

Surface Cookware Tips

(on some models)

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.

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.

Not over 1 inch

1″

Wok Cooking

(on some models)

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.

Use only flat-bottomed woks.

Troubleshooting TipsCare and Cleaning Installation Instructions

Operating InstructionsSafety Instructions

Using the oven.

To avoid possible burns, place the shelves in the desired position before you turn the oven on.

Before you begin…

The shelves have stop-locks, so that when

placed correctly on the supports, they will

stop before coming completely out, and will

not tilt.

When placing and removing cookware,

pull the shelf out to the bump on the shelf

support.

To remove a shelf,

pull it toward you, tilt the

front end up and pull it out.

To replace,

place the end of the shelf (stop-

locks) on the support, tilt up the front and

push the shelf in.

The oven has 6 shelf positions.

How to Set the Oven for Baking or Roasting

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.

For ovens without a preheat indicator light or tone,

preheat 10 minutes.

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 is not

directly above the other, and leave

approximately 3.81 cm (1

⁄2″) from the

front of the pan to the front of the shelf.

Using the oven.

Operating Instructions

Safety InstructionsCare and CleaningInstallation InstructionsTroubleshooting Tips

Aluminum Foil

Never entirely cover a shelf with aluminum

foil. This will disturb the heat circulation

and result in poor baking.

You can 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.

How to Set the Oven for Broiling

Place the meat or fish on the broiler

grid in the broiler pan.

Follow suggested shelf positions in the

Broiling guide.

Turn the Oven Temperature knob to

BROIL.

Leave the door open to the broil

stop position. The door stays open

by itself, yet the proper temperature

is maintained in the oven.

Operating Instructions

Safety InstructionsCare and CleaningInstallation InstructionsTroubleshooting Tips

You may find that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. Use your new oven for a few weeks to

become more familiar with it. If you still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the thermostat yourself.

Do not use thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of your oven. These thermometers may vary

11–22°C. (20–40°F).

The type of margarine will affect baking performance!

Most recipes for baking have been developed using high fat products such as butter or margarine (80% fat). If you

decrease the fat, the recipe may not give the same results as with a higher fat product.

Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies, pastries, cookies or candies are made with low fat spreads. The lower the fat content of a spread product,

the more noticeable these differences become.

Federal standards require products labeled “margarine” to contain at least 80% fat by weight. Low fat spreads, on the other

hand, contain less fat and more water. The high moisture content of these spreads affects the texture and flavor of baked

goods. For best results with your old favorite recipes, use margarine, butter or stick spreads containing at least 70%

vegetable oil.

Control Panel and Knobs

Clean up spatters with a damp cloth.

Remove heavier soil with warm, soapy water.

Do not use abrasives of any kind on the control panel.

The control knobs may be removed for

easier cleaning. To remove a knob, pull it

straight off the stem. Wash the knobs in

soap and water but do not soak.

Pull the knob straight off the stem.

Oven Vent

(on some models)

The oven is vented through an opening

under the right rear surface unit.

Never cover the opening with aluminum foil

or any other material.

Coil models oven vent location.

If your range is removed for cleaning, servicing or any reason, be sure the 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.

Painted Surfaces

Painted surfaces include the sides of the

range and sides of the door trim.

Clean these with soap and water or a vinegar

and water solution.

Do not use commercial oven cleaners,

cleaning powders, steel wool or harsh

abrasives on any painted surface.

Porcelain Oven Interior

(for standard clean models only)

With proper care, the porcelain enamel

finish on the inside of the 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Lift-Off Oven Door

The oven door is removable for cleaning.

Do not lift the door by the handle.

To remove the door,

open it to the special

stop position. Grasp firmly on each side and

lift the door straight up and off the hinges.

Do not place hands between the hinge and the oven

door frame.

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 and slowly lower it over

both hinges.

To clean the inside of the door:

(on standard clean models)

■ 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.

■ If necessary, you may use an oven cleaner.

Follow the package directions.

■ Clean the inside of the oven window with

a mild non-scratching cleaner and a

damp cloth.

To clean the 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. Do not let water drip into the

vent openings.

■ 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.

■ Do not use oven cleaners, cleaning

powders or harsh abrasives on the

outside of the door.

Lift the door straight up and off the

hinges.

The gasket is designed with a gap

at the bottom to allow for proper air

circulation.

Do not rub or clean the door

gasket—it has an extremely low

resistance to abrasion.

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.

Glass Window

(on some models)

To clean the outside glass finish, use a glass

cleaner. Rinse and polish with a dry cloth.

Oven Heating Elements

Do not clean the bake element or the broil element.

Any soil will burn off when the elements are heated.

To clean the oven floor, gently lift the bake

element. Clean with warm soapy water.

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 remove the cover:

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.

Do not remove any screws to remove the cover.

Replace bulb with a 40-watt household

appliance bulb.

To replace the cover:

Place it into groove of the light

receptacle. Pull wire forward to the

center of the cover until it snaps into

place.

Connect electrical power to the range.

Broiler Pan & 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.

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.

Both the broiler pan and grid can also be

cleaned in the dishwasher.

Do not store a soiled broiler pan and grid anywhere

in the range.

After broiling, remove the broiler

pan from the oven.

Be sure the controls are turned to OFF and the surface units are cool before attempting to remove them.

Surface Units

(on some models)

To clean the surface units, turn the control

to the highest setting for a minute. The coils

will burn off any soil.

To remove a surface unit:

To remove the drip pans for cleaning, the

surface units must be removed first.

Lift the surface unit about 2.5 cm (1 inch)

above the drip pan and pull it out.

Do not lift the surface unit more than 2.5 cm (1 inch).

If you do, it may not lie flat on the drip pan when

you plug it back in.

Repeated lifting of the surface unit more

than 2.5 cm (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.

Do not immerse the surface units in liquids

of any kind.

Do not clean the surface units in a

dishwasher.

Do not bend the surface unit plug

terminals.

Do not attempt to clean, adjust or in any

way repair the plug-in receptacle.

Drip Pans

(on some models)

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 60 ml (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.

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.

Lift-Up Cooktop

(on some models)

Some models have a cooktop that can be

lifted up for easier cleaning. The entire

cooktop may be lifted up and supported in

the up position.

The surface units do not need to be

removed; however, you may remove one to

make raising the cooktop easier. There are

two side supports that lock into position

when the cooktop is lifted up.

After cleaning under the cooktop with hot,

mild soapy water and a clean cloth, lower

the cooktop. Be careful not to pinch your

fingers.

To lower the cooktop, push the rods back

and gently lower the cooktop until it rests in

Electrical Requirements

CAUTION, FOR PERSONAL SAFETY: DO NOT USE

AN EXTENSION CORD WITH THIS APPLIANCE.

REMOVE HOUSE FUSE OR OPEN CIRCUIT

BREAKER BEFORE BEGINNING INSTALLATION.

This appliance must be supplied with the proper

voltage and frequency, and connected to an

individual, properly grounded branch circuit,

protected by a circuit breaker or time delay fuse,

as noted on the rating plate.

Wiring must conform to National Electric Codes.

If the electric service provided does not meet the

above specifications, have a licensed electrician

install an approved outlet.

Because range terminals are not accessible after

range is in position, flexible service conduit or cord

must be used.

Read these instructions completely and carefully.

Care and Cleaning Installation Instructions

Preparing the Opening

Allow 3.81 cm (1

⁄2″) spacing from the range to

adjacent vertical walls above cooktop surface.

Allow 76.2 cm (30″) minimum clearance between

surface units and bottom of unprotected wood or

metal top cabinet, and 38.1 cm (15″) 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.

If cabinet storage is installed, reduce risk by

installing a range hood that projects horizontally a

min. of 12.7 cm (5″) 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

93°C. (200°F.).

Flooring Under the Range

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 6 mm (1/4″) thick sheet of

plywood (or similar material) as follows:

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

Use a certified range power cord. Such a cord will be

marked with a symbol of certification. If you are

unsure about the certification of your range power

cord, please consult with your local electrical parts

distributor and obtain one or have a licensed

electrician install your range. Finally, you may have

to purchase a separate strain relief if your cord is not

accompanied by one.

A range cord rated for 40A usage is recommended.

The cord must also have a minimum 250V rating. A

50A cord is not recommended but, if used, it should

be marked for use with nominal 3.49 cm (1

⁄8″)

diameter connection openings. Care should be

taken to center cable and strain relief (discussed in

Step 3) within knockout hole to keep cable from

rubbing the edge.

Power Cord Strain Relief Installation

Remove the lower rear range wiring cover to

expose the connector block and bracket.

Remove the knockout ring 3.49 cm (1

⁄8″)

located on bracket directly below the

connector. To remove the knockout, use a pair

of pliers to bend the knockout ring away from

the bracket and twist until ring is removed.

Assemble the strain relief in the hole. Insert the

power cord through the strain relief and

tighten. Allow enough slack to easily attach the

cord terminals to the connector block. If tabs

are present at the end of the winged strain

relief, they can be removed for better fit.

NOTE: Do not install the power cord without a strain

relief. The strain relief bracket should be installed before

reinstalling the rear range wiring cover.

Use ring terminals which have screw hole openings

of sufficient size for the terminal screws and ground

screw to be used in Step 4. The above illustration

depicts a power cord with “ring” terminals on the

ends of the power cord leads.

This is a close-up view of a “ring”

terminal. The ring terminal

shown in this close-up illustration

is the “closed barrel” type. We

recommend use of the “closed

barrel” type with a large enough

“barrel” to accommodate the

cord leads. Proper crimping force

should be applied to connect

stranded wires to the ring

terminals.

NOTE: If your range power

cord is “stranded” and is not

terminated with ring terminals,

you MUST attach the above

terminals to the cord leads. A

“stranded” power cable is one

with many thin wires twisted

together as shown in this

illustration.
