electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.
,P,WARNINGANTI-TIPDEVICE
All rangescan tip and injury couldresult.
Toprevent accidental tipping of the range, attach
it to the wa# by installing the Anti--tip device
supplied.
Tocheck 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 dm range out from tile wall for
any reason, make sine dm device is properly
engaged when you push file range back against
the wall. Ifit is not, there is a possible risk of the
range tipping over ml(1 causing inju U if you or
a child stand, sit or lean on an open door.
Please refer to the Anti-Tip device infb,mation
in this manual. Failure to take this precaution
could result in tipping of the range and injuU.
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.
IMPORTANT"Thehealthofsomebirds
is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off
during the self-cleaning cycle of any oven.
Move birds to another well-ventilated room.
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.

SAFETYPRECAUTIONS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should be foflowed, including the following:
iJ_i:_Use this appliance only fi)r its inmnded
purpose as described in this Oxmer's
Manual.
Y_;Be sure your appliance is properly installed
and g¢_mnded by a qualified technidan in
acco_,lance with the provided installation

recommended in this manual. All other
se,_'icing should be ,eter,ed m a qualified
technician.
iJ_i:;Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang
on the door, storage (kawer, or cooku)p.
They could damage the range and even tip
it over, causing severe personal in,juU.
_; Do not sto[> flamrnable materials in an oven
or near the cooktop.
!;_CAUTION:Itemsof interest to children
should not 1)esto*ed in cabinets above a
range or on the backsplash of a range-
children climbing on the range to reach
items could be seriously injured.
iJ_i:;Befbre pe_fbmfing any sets'ice, disconnect
the range power supply at the household
distribution panel by removing the fllse or
switching off the cirodt breaker.
iJ_i:;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

iJ_i:_Never wear loose-fitting or hanging g_uments iJ_i:_
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 stnihce units
or heating elemenLs and may cause severe
bums.
Use only (h-v pot holders-moist or damp pot
holders on hot smiaces may result in burns
from steam. Do not let pot holders touch hot
smlace uniLs or heating elements. Do not use
a towel or other bulky doff1.
_; For your safety, never use your appliance
for wamdng or heating the morn.
_; Do not let cooldng g_ease or other flammable
materials accumulate in or near the range.
_; Do not use water on g_ease fires. Never pick
up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off.
Smother a flaming pan on a stntace unit by
covering the pan completely with a well-
fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat u W. Use a
multi-purpose d U chemical or foam-type
fire exting_|isher.
Flaming g_xmseoutside a pan can be put
out by covering it with baking soda or,
if available, by using a multi-purpose d U

These smiaces may be hot enough m btlrn
even though they are dad< in color. During
and after use, do not touch, or let dothing
or other flammable materials contact, the
smiace units, areas neaH)y the su_iace unil_s
or any interior arx_aof the oven; allow
sufficient time for cooling first.
Potentially hot smihces include the cooktop,

REMEMBER:The inside smihce of the oven
may be hot when dm 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 die hood and g_ease filters clean
to maintain good venting and to avoid

SURFACEUNITS-ALLMODELS
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.
iiii:Never leave tim sudace units unattended at
high heat settings, l_filovers cause smoking
and g_,easyspillovers that may catcll on fire.
_; Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic,
earthenware or other glazed containers are
suitable f()r cooktop sets'ice; others m W
break because of the sudden clmnge in
temperamr,e.
iJ_i:;To minimize the possibility of burns,
ignition of flammable materials and spillage,
the handle ofa container should be turned
towar_l tim (:enter of tim rang,e without
extending over neafl)y sudhce units.
iJ_i:;Always turn the snrla(:e units oft bef()re
removing (:ookware.
_; When preparing flaming foods under tim
vent hood, mm tim fan on,
iiii:Keep an eye on foods being flied at high or
medium high heat settings.
_; Foods f()r fiTing should be as dU as possible.
Frost on fi_)zen toods or moismr,e on fresh
foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and over
tim sides of the pan.
iJ_i:;Use little fat fi)r effective shallow or deep fat
flying. Filling the pan too fifll of fat can cause
spillovers when food is added.
_; Ira combination of oils or fats will be used in
flying, stir together befbr,e heating, or as fats
melt slowly.
_; Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.
iJ_i:;Use adeep fat tlmrmometer whenever

Surface Cookware tips
Use me(fium- or heax_weight cookwme.
Aluminum cookwme conducts heat t_}ster
than other metals. Cast-iron and coated
cast-iron cookwzue are slow to absorb heat,
but generally cook evenly at h)w to medium

if not combined xdth other metals.
For best (:{}{}kingresults, pans shouM be

Benefitsof CircuWave
i__Saves time when roasting meats and whole

i__Seals in moisture while the outside of
meats and poulu T gets (risp and brown.
i;__Byreducing cooking time, you xdll save
enerD; and reduce heat in the kitchen.
i;__Muhi-rack baking may increase cook time
slightly for some tbods, but the overall
time savings is greater than when baking
each rack indMdually.
CircuWave Fan
When you set the oven ior Cir(u\,Vave, a
convection tim circulates tl_e hot oven air
over and mound dm tood.
Because heated air is (ir(ulated dnoughout

Tips When Us&g CircuWave
i_ Be sure to check the internal telnperamre
offi)od to inake sure that it is cooked
thor{)ughly, Meat should be cooked to at
least 160°F, and poult U to at least 180°F,
Even though food is nicely browned oi1
the outside, it inay not have reached a s>de
internal telnperamre. (_ooking to these
temperatures usually protects against
fi)odborne illness.

Adjusttheoventhermostat--Easy todoyourself! .CEA,p,ances.ce,n
Youmay 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.
Donot 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 or the self-cleaning temperatures (on some models). The adjustment
will be retained in memory after a power failure.

Thetypeofmargarine will affect bakingperformance!
Most recipes for baking have been
developed using high fat products such

Federal standmds require pro&acts labeled

contain lesstht and more water. The high

Prepare for Electrical Connection
Effective January 1,1996 the National Electric

Use only a 3-con&_ctor or a 4-conductor UI,-listed
range cord. These cords may be pr{Mded with ring
temfinals on wire and a suain relief device.
A range cord rated at 40 amps xdth 125/250
