SURFACE TEMPERATURE LIMITS
1. Product must be undamaged, correctly assembled and have the cor-
rect oven temperature.
2. All skin temperatures are based on a room temperature of 77° F (25° C)
and an oven set temperature as specified below:
For ELECTRIC ranges built prior to 08/26/2003 - 400° F
For ELECTRIC ranges built after 08/26/2003 - 475° F
For GAS ranges built prior to 01/01/2004 - 400° F
For GAS ranges built after 01/01/2004 - 475° F
3. Oven must be cycling at designated test temperature for one hour
before test is conducted.
4. Pyrometers, (temperature testers), must be of high quality and properly
adjusted.
5. An increase or decrease of 1° F in the room ambient temperature, will
allow a 1° F increase or decrease in the maximum allowable surface
temperature of the range.
All gas and electric ranges must comply with U.L and A.N.S.I. surface temperature limits outlined in the following chart.
Note that the testing temperature is different for electric ranges produced
after
08/26/2003.

RANGE TECHNICAL DATA
The chart seen here can be used to test the resistance of the oven
temperature sensor probe. For accuracy in testing use a high quality
thermometer or temperature meter to determine actual oven temperature
before reading the resistance of the probe.
