• To conserve tile nlost cooking energry;pans should be fiat on tile bottom,

have straight sides and tight-fittinglids. Match the size ot the saucepan

to tile size of tile surti_ce unit. A panthat extends more than an inch

beyond tile edge of tile dxiI) pantraps heat, which causes "crazing"

(fine hairline cracks) on porcelain,and discoloration ranging fl'om blue

Adjust the oven thermostat--Easy to do yourself!

Youmay find that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. Use your new oven for a few weeks tobecome more familiar with it. If you still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the thermostatyourself.

Do not use thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of your oven.These thermometers may vary 20_40°F.

NOTE: This adjustment will not affect the broiling temperatures. The adjustment will be retained after a power failure.

• Frozen steaks can be broiled by

positioning the oven shelf at the next

lowest shelf position and increasingcooking time given in this guide 1½

times per side.

• When arranging fl)od on pan, do notlet tiltQ' edges hang over sides because

the dripping tilt will soil the oven.

• If yore" range is cmmected to 208volts, rare steaks may be broiled bv

Careand cleaning of the range.

Be sure electrical power is off and aft surfaces are cool before cleaning any part of the range.

Proper care and cleaning are important so your range will give you efficient and satisfactory service. Follow thesedirections carefully in caring for your range to assure safe and proper maintenance.

If your range is removed for cleaning, servicing or any reason, be sure the anti-tipdevice is reengaged properly when the range is replaced. Failure to take thisprecaution could result in tipping of the range and cause injury.

Cautions about using spray-on ovenc]eanersJ

• Do not spray tile oven cleaner on theelectrical controls and switches becauseit could cause a short circuit and result

in sparking or fire.

• Do not directly spray oven cleaner

onto tile oven heating elements.

• Do not allow a fihn fi'om the

cleaner to remain on tile temperaturesensm_it could cause tile oven to

heat improi)edy. (Tile sensor is locatedat tile top of tile oven.) Careflfllv

wipe tile bulb clean after eachoven cleaning, being carefifl not to

i/love tile sensor since a change iI1

its position could affect how tile ovenbakes.

• Do not spray any oven cleaner on tileoutside oven dora; handles or anyexterior surli_ce of tile oven, cabinet

or painted s/m'i_ces. The cleaner candamage these s/m'i_ces.

FOR YOUR SAFETY:

All rough-in and spacing dimensions must bemet for safe use of your range. Electricity tothe range can be disconnected at the outletwithout moving the range if the outlet is inthe preferred location (remove lower drawer).

To reduce the risk of burns or fire when

reaching over hot surface elements, cabinetstorage space above the cooktop should beavoided. If cabinet storage space is to beprovided above the cooktop, the risk canbe reduced by installing a range hood thatsticks out at least 5" beyond the front of thecabinets. Cabinets installed above a cooktopmust be no deeper than 13_'

Be sure your appliance is properly installedand grounded by a qualified technician.

Make sure the cabinets and wall coveringsaround the range can withstand the temperatures(up to 200°F) generated by the range.

ANTI-TIP DEVICE

AWARNING - Toreducetheriskof tipping, the appliance must be secured byproperly installed Anti-Tip device packed withthis appliance.

If the Anti-Tip device supplied with the rangedoes not fit this application, use the universalAnti-Tip device WB2X7909.

AWARNING-• All ranges can tip

• Injury to persons could result

(_ • Install Anti-Tip device packed

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

A CAUTION: For personal safety,do not use an extension cord with this

appliance. Remove house fuse or open circuitbreaker before beginning installation.

This appliance must be supplied with theproper voltage and frequency, and connectedto an individual properly grounded branchcircuit, protected by a circuit breaker or fusehaving amperage as specified on the ratingplate. The rating plate is located under thecooktop. See the Lift-Up Cooktop sectionin this manual for instructions on how tolift the cooktop.

Rating Plate

We recommend you have the electrical wiringand hookup of your range connected by aqualified electrician. After installation, havethe electrician show you where your mainrange disconnect is located.

Check with your local utilities for electricalcodes which apply in your area. Failure towire your oven according to governing codescould result in a hazardous condition. If thereare no local codes, your range must be wiredand fused to meet the requirements of theNational Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-Latest Edition. You can get a copy by writing:

National Fire Protection AssociationBatterymarch ParkQuincy, MA 02269

Effective January 1, 1996, the NationalElectrical Code requires that new construction(not existing) utilize a 4-conductor connectionto an electric range.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS (cont.)

When installing an electric range in newconstruction, follow Steps 3 and 5 for 4-wireconnection.

You must use a 3-wire, single-phase A.C.208Y/120 Volt or 240/120 Volt, 60 hertzelectrical system. If you connect to aluminumwiring, properly installed connectorsapproved for use with aluminum wiringmust be used.

If the electrical service provided does notmeet the above specifications, have alicensed electrician install an approved outlet.

ALL NEW BRANCH CIRCUITINSTALLATIONS, MOBILEHOMES, RECREATIONALVEHICLES ANDINSTALLATIONS WHERELOCAL CODES DO NOTALLOW GROUNDINGTHROUGH NEUTRAL,REQUIRE A 4-CONDUCTORCORD OR CONDUIT

Use only a 3-conductor or a 4-conductorUL-listed range cord. These cords may beprovided with ring terminals on wire anda strain relief device.

A range cord rated at 40 amps with 125/250minimum volt range is required. A 50 amprange cord is not recommended but if used, itshould be marked for use with nominal 13/_"diameter connection openings. Care shouldbe taken to center the cable and strain reliefwithin the knockout hole to keep the edgefrom damaging the cable.

• Because range terminals are not accessibleafter range is in position, flexible serviceconduit or cord must be used.

NOTE: If conduit is being used, go to Step 3Dand then to Step 6 or 7.

• On some models, a filter capacitor may beconnected between the black and white

leads on the junction block.

LEVEL THE RANGE

For proper cooking and baking, the rangemust be leveled. Leveling legs are locatedon each corner at the base of the range.

Install the oven shelves

(see Using the ovensection for instructions).Put a spirit level or a glassmeasuring cup partiallyfilled with water on oneof the oven shelves.

Turn the legs clockwiseto raise the range andcounterclockwise tolower the range. Adjustthe leveling legs untilthe range is level.

FINAL INSTALLATION CHECKLIST

Check to make sure the circuit breaker is closed

(RESET) or the circuit fuses are replaced.

Be sure power is in service to the building.

Check to be sure that all packing materialsand tape have been removed. This willinclude tape on metal panel under controlknobs (if applicable), adhesive tape, wireties, cardboard and protective plastic. Failureto remove these materials could result in
