IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS, Continued • Do not store items of interest to children in the cabinets above a range or on the backguard of a range. Children climbing on the range to reach the items could be seriously injured. • Do not allow children to climb or play around the range. The weight of a child on an open oven door may cause the range to tip, resulting in serious burns or other injury.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS BUILT-IN GAS AND ELECTRIC SURFACE UNITS (Cooktops) CABINET OPENING Prepare the cabinet accurately so your unit will fit properly. Below are cabinet cutout dimensions. The dimensions are for the unit to be mounted so the knobs are on the right side. To Overhead Combustible Construction CHECK LOCAL CODES BEFORE MAKING CONNECTIONS.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS, Continued THREE-WIRE CONDUIT CONNECTION • Do not heat unopened food containers. Build-up of pressure may cause the container to burst and result in injury. 1. Remove the access plate to gain access to the electrical junction box. 2. Install the three-wire range conduit and an appropriate strain relief clamp through the hole in the junction box. 3.
ELECTRIC RECESSED WALL OVEN IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS, Continued With the oven positioned in front of the cabinet opening, connect the leads extending from the conduit to the junction box. NOTE: The instructions appearing in this owner’s guide are not meant to cover every possible condition and situation that may occur. Common sense and caution must be practiced when operating and maintaining any appliance. Check all connections to see that they are tight and have not become loosened during transit.
GAS RECESSED WALL OVEN INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Be sure appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician. It is the responsibility of the technician to make certain that your range is properly installed. Situations caused by improper installation are not covered under the warranty.

Move the main top forward. (Lift up and pull forward slightly.) 2. Place the backguard on top of end panels at the rear of range. Make certain the tabs of the burner box cover rest on the outside of the burner box flanges. (See No. 1.) 3.
CORD CONNECTED APPLIANCES We recommend that you have the electrical hookup of your range done by a qualified electrician. Have the electrician show you where your range disconnect is located. If you fail to wire your range in accordance with governing codes, you may create a hazardous condition. Refer to the range’s rating plate for electrical requirements. The rating plate is located in the burner box area on freestanding ranges and cook tops.
LIFT OFF DOORS THREE-WIRE CORD CONNECTION 1. Remove the top nuts on the junction block studs. 2. Tighten the back nuts. 3. Install the three-wire cord and strain relief provided on the cord set through the hole in the power cord bracket. 4. Connect the red and black leads to the outer terminals and the white lead to the center terminal. Use the topnuts removed earlier in step 1. 5. Push the cord upward (to relieve strain) while tightening the strain relief clamp.
THREE-WIRE CONDUIT CONNECTION NOTE: The power cord bracket will have to be reversed for conduit installations. Detach the bracket and flip its orientation. Reattach the bracket to the range so the conduit will pass through the smaller hole. 1. Remove the top nuts on the junction block studs. 2. Tighten the back nuts. 3. Install the terminal adaptor blocks for bar wire connection. Use the top nuts removed in step 1. 4.
CLEANING THE RANGE, Continued CABINET PREPARATIONS Aluminum Foil in Oven and Broiler Free-Standing Ranges Aluminum foil when used improperly is a cause of many range fires. Make certain heating elements aren’t covered or come in contact with aluminum foil. Never cover a rack completely. Apiece of foil slightly larger than the utensil can be placed on the rack beneath the utensil. Backguard Control Panel or Any Painted or Aluminum Surfaces Use a mild solution of soap and water.
SURFACE COOKING CLEANING THE RANGE Cooking Utensils Your range is equipped with tubular type top elements. Here are some helpful hints for successful cooking. For best result and energy conservation, choose cooking utensils which have the following characteristics: • Pans should have flat bottoms that make good contact with the entire element. Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom. There should be no gaps between the pan and the ruler.
OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT, continued SURFACE COOKING, continued Background and Control Panel Features Cooking Utensils, Continued Material Electrical Grounding Instructions: This Appliance must be properly grounded and must be connected as shown in figure 1, 2 or 3 on page 11. Do not alter wiring or electrical equipment. Characteristics Uses Aluminum Excellent conductor of heat. Available in various gauges. All foods. With thin gauge, cook with some liquid.
OPERATIONAL CHECK OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT Check all connections to see that they are tight and have not become loosened during transit. Each top element is controlled by a switch and when turned on the element should heat up within a minute except for solid disk elements. These take approximately 3 minutes. (Solid elements do not get red in color when hot.) The oven bake element should heat up within a minute when the temperature control is set in the bake area of the dial.
