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 smafl 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,
cookiesorcandiesaremadewithlowfatspreads.
Thelowerthefatcontentofa spreadproduct,the
morenoticeablethesedifferencesbecome.
Federal standards require products labeled
"margarine" to contain at least 80% tilt by
weight, ixmqilt spreads, on the other hand,
contain less tilt and more water. The high
moisture content of these spreads afl'ects
tile texture and flavor of baked goods. For
best results with w)ur old fiworite redpes,
rise mmgarine, butter or stick spreads
containing at least 70% vegetable oil.
Preheatingand PanPlacement
Preheat tile oven if tile redpe calls fin" it.
To preheat, set the oven at the correct
temperature. Preheating is necessm T tot
good results when baking cakes, cookies,
past_ T and breads.
Forovenswithouta preheat indicatorlight or tone,
preheat 10minutes.
Onsomemodels,the display wi// show "PRE"
while preheat/bg.When the ovenreachesthe
selected temperature,the ovencontrol wi// beep
and the displaywill show the oventemperature.
Baking results will be better if baking pans
are centered in tile oven as ill[lch _lS
possible. Pans should not touch each other
or the walls ot the oven. If you need to use
two shelves, stagger the pans so one is not
direcflv above the othe_; and leave
approximately 1½" fl'om tile fl'ont ot tile
pan to the fi'ont ot the shell
Cut slits inflTefoil usrmceme gno.
Aluminum Foil
Never cover the oven bottom with
aluminum foil.
You can use aluminum toil to line tile
broiler pan and broiler grid. However;
you must mold the toil tightly to the
grid and cut slits in it just like the grid.
Muminum fi)il may also be used m catch
a spillove_: To do so, place a small sheet of
toil on a lower shelf several inches below
tile ti)ocl.
Never entirely cover a shelf with aluminum
loll. This will disturb the heat circulation
and result in poor baking.

Flooring under the range
Your range, like many other household items,
is heaw 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 1/4"
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.
Installation Instructions
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
CAUTION: Forpersonal 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 above the
storage drawer or warming drawer on the
oven frame.
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, ANSl/NFPA No. 70J
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.
