IMPORTANTSAFETYNOTICE
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic
Enforcement Act requires the Governor of
California to publish a list of substances known
to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm, and requires businesses to
warn customers of potential exposure to such
substances.
The fiberglass insulation in self-clean ovens gives
off a very small amount of carbon monoxide during
the cleaning cycle. Exposure can be minimized by
venting with an open window or using a ventilation
fan or hood.

Typeof 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.
Recipefailurecanresultffcakes,pies,pastries,
cookiesorcandiesare madewithlow fat spreads.
Thelowerthefatcontentofa spreadproduct,the
morenoticeablethesedifferencesbecome.
Federal standards require products labeled
"margarh]e" to contain at least 80% fi_t by
weight, ix>Bqi_t spreads, on the other hand,
contain less tilt and more water. The high
moisture content of these spreads afl'ects
the texture and flavor of baked goods. For
best results with w>ur old fiB.'orite redpes,
rise mmgmine, butter or stick spreads
containing at least 70% vegetable oil.

Aluminum Foil
Do not use aluminum foil on thebottom of the oven.
Never entirely cover a shelf with aluminum
fi>il. This will distud) the heat circulation
and result in poor baking.
A smaller sheet of fi>il may be used to
catch a spillover by placing it on a lower
shelf several inches below the toed.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
-4,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 fuse
having amperage as specified on the rating
plate. The rating plate is located behind the
storage drawer or warming drawer on the
oven frame.
Location of

plate
We recommend you have the electrical wiring
and hookup of your range connected by a
qualified electrician. After installation, have
the electrician show you where your main
range disconnect is located.
Check with your local utilities for electrical
codes which apply in your area. Failure to
wire your oven according to governing codes
could result in a hazardous condition. If there
are no local codes, your range must be wired
and fused to meet the requirements of the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70 i
Latest Edition. You can get a copy by writing:
National Fire Protection Association
Batterymarch Park
Quincy, MA 02269
Effective January 1, 1996, the National
Electrical Code requires that new construction
(not existing) utilize a 4-conductor connection
to an electric range.
When installing an electric range in new
construction, follow Steps 3 and 5 for 4-wire
connection.
You must use a 3-wire, single-phase A.C.
208Y/120 Volt or 240/120 Volt, 60 hertz
electrical system. If you connect to aluminum
wiring, properly installed connectors
approved for use with aluminum wiring
must be used.
If the electrical service provided does not
meet the above specifications, have a
licensed electrician install an approved outlet.
ALL NEW CONSTRUCTIONS,
MOBILE HOMES AND
INSTALLATIONS WHERE
LOCAL CODES DO NOT
ALLOW GROUNDING
THROUGH NEUTRAL
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 13/8"
diameter connection openings. Care should
be taken to center the cable and strain relief
within the knockout hole to keep the edge
from damaging the cable.
• Because range terminals are not accessible
after range is in position, flexible service
conduit or cord must be used.
NOTE: If conduit is being used, go to Step 3D
and then to Step 6 or 7.
• On some models, a filter capacitor may be
connected between the black and white
leads on the junction block.
