Important Safety Instructions

• Never leave the surface units unattended at

high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking and
greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.

• To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition 

of flammable materials, and spillage, the handle
of a container should be turned toward the center
of the range without extending over the nearby
surface units.

• Always turn the surface unit control to off

before removing the cookware.

• When flaming foods are under the hood, turn

the fan off. The fan, if 

operating, may spread

the flame.

• Carefully watch for spillovers or overheating of

foods when frying at high or medium high
temperatures.

• Foods for frying should be as dry as possible.

Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh foods
can cause hot fat to bubble up and over the sides 
of the pan.

• Use little fat for effective shallow or deep-fat

frying. Filling the pan too full of fat can cause
spillovers when food is added.

• If a combination of oils or fats will be used 

in frying, stir together before heating, or as fats
melt slowly.

• Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.

• Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible to

prevent overheating fat beyond the smoking point.

• Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially 

a deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.

• Be sure the drip pans and the vent duct are not

covered and are in place. Their absence during
cooking could damage range parts and wiring.

• Do not use aluminum foil to line the drip pans

or anywhere in the oven except as described in
this guide. Misuse could result in a shock, fire
hazard or damage to the range.

• Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic,

earthenware or other glazed containers are
suitable for cooktop cooking; 
others may break
because of the sudden change in temperature. 

• To avoid the possibility of a burn or electric

shock, always be certain that the controls for all
surface units are at the off position and all coils
are cool before attempting to lift or remove a unit.

• Do not immerse or soak the removable surface

units. Do not put them in a dishwasher. Do not
self-clean the surface units in the oven.

• Never clean the cooktop surface when it is 

hot. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes and
wet cloths could cause steam burns if used on 
a hot surface.

INSTALLING AND LEVELING YOUR RANGE

Installing

Leveling

Your range, like many other household items, is 
heavy 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 inch 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.

Leveling screws are located on each corner of the base of
the range. Remove the bottom drawer and you can level
the range on an uneven floor with the use of a nutdriver.
To remove the drawer, pull the drawer out all the
way, tilt up the front and take it out. To replace the
drawer, 
insert glides at back of the drawer beyond stop
on the range glides. Lift drawer if necessary to insert
easily. Let the front of drawer down, then push in 
to close.
One of the rear leveling screws will engage the Anti-Tip
device. Allow for some side to side adjustment. Allow 
a minimum clearance of 1/8 inch between the range 
and the leveling screw that is to be installed into the
Anti-Tip device.
