RANGE MAINTENANCE AND CARE Clean Cycle AquaLift® Technology is an innovative cleaning solution that utilizes heat and water to release baked-on spills from the oven in less than 1 hour. This new cleaning technology is a low-heat, odor-free alternative to traditional self-cleaning options. Allow the oven to cool to room temperature before using the Clean cycle.
PAGE 5
General Cleaning IMPORTANT: Before cleaning, make sure all controls are off and the oven and cooktop are cool. Always follow label instructions on cleaning products. Soap, water, and a soft cloth or sponge are suggested first, unless otherwise noted. EXTERIOR PORCELAIN ENAMEL SURFACES (on some models) Food spills containing acids, such as vinegar and tomato, should be cleaned as soon as the entire range is cool. These spills may affect the finish.
PAGE 6
STORAGE DRAWER OR WARMING DRAWER (on some models) Check that storage drawer or warming drawer is cool and empty before cleaning. Cleaning Method: � Mild detergent OVEN CAVITY Use AquaLift® Technology regularly to clean oven spills. Do not use oven cleaners Food spills should be cleaned when oven cools. At high temperatures, foods react with porcelain. Staining, etching, pitting, or faint white spots can result. Cleaning Method: � Clean cycle: See “Clean Cycle” first.

Cabinet Dimensions Cabinet opening dimensions shown are for 25" (64.0 cm) countertop depth, 24" (61.0 cm) base cabinet depth and 36" (91.4 cm) countertop height. IMPORTANT: If installing a range hood or microwave hood combination above the range, follow the range hood or microwave hood combination installation instructions for dimensional clearances above the cooktop surface. A freestanding range may be installed next to combustible walls with zero clearance. Electrical Requirements - U.S.A.
PAGE 8
If connecting to a 4-wire system: This range is manufactured with the ground connected to the neutral by a link. The ground must be revised so the green ground wire of the 4-wire power supply cord is connected to the cabinet. See the “Electrical Connection - U.S.A. Only” section. Grounding through the neutral conductor is prohibited for new branch-circuit installations (1996 NEC); mobile homes; and recreational vehicles, or an area where local codes prohibit grounding through the neutral conductor.
PAGE 9
On Ranges Equipped with a Warming Drawer or Premium Storage Drawer: On ranges equipped with a warming drawer or premium storage drawer, the rear legs cannot be accessed by removing the warming drawer or premium storage drawer. It will be necessary to adjust the rear legs from outside the range. Use wrench or pliers to lower the front and rear leveling legs one half turn. A. Rear leveling leg B. Wrench or pliers C. Front leveling leg Electrical Connection - U.S.A. Only 1. Disconnect power. 2.

4. Add strain relief. Style 1: Power supply cord strain relief � Remove the knockout for the power supply cord. � Assemble a UL listed strain relief in the opening.
PAGE 11
3. Feed the power supply cord through the strain relief on the cord/conduit plate on bottom of range. Allow enough slack to easily attach the wiring to the terminal block. 3-Wire Connection: Power Supply Cord Use this method only if local codes permit connecting chassis ground conductor to neutral wire of power supply cord. 1. Feed the power supply cord through the strain relief in the cord/conduit plate on bottom of range. Allow enough slack to easily attach the wiring to the terminal block. A.
PAGE 12
Direct Wire Installation: Copper or Aluminum Wire This range may be connected directly to the fuse disconnect or circuit breaker box. Depending on your electrical supply, make the required 3-wire or 4-wire connection. 1. Strip outer covering back 3" (7.6 cm) to expose wires. Strip the insulation back 1" (2.5 cm) from the end of each wire. 2. Allow enough slack in the wire to easily attach the wiring terminal block. 3. Complete electrical connection according to your type of electrical supply.
PAGE 13
3-Wire Connection: Direct Wire Use this method only if local codes permit connecting ground conductor to neutral supply wire. 1. Pull the wires through the conduit on cord/conduit plate on bottom of range. Allow enough slack to easily attach the wiring to the terminal block. 3. Use 3/8" nut driver to connect the bare (green) ground wire to the center terminal block post with one of the 10–32 hex nuts. A. 10-32 hex nut D. Bare (green) ground wire B. Line 2 (red) E. Line 1 (black) C. Ground-link screw F.

3. Determine and mark centerline of the cutout space. The mounting can be installed on either the left-side or right-side of the cutout. Position mounting bracket against the wall in the cutout so that the V-notch of the bracket is 12 9/16" (31.9 cm) from centerline as shown. 8. Move range forward onto shipping base, cardboard or hardboard to continue installing the range using the following installation instructions. 9. Plug power cord into a grounded outlet (see “Electrical Requirements” section). 10.
PAGE 15
5. Slide range back so the rear range foot is inserted into the slot of the anti-tip bracket. IMPORTANT: If the back of the range is more than 2" (5.1 cm) from the mounting wall, the rear range foot may not engage the bracket. Slide the range forward and determine if there is an obstruction between the range and the mounting wall. If you need assistance or service, refer to the Quick Start Guide for contact information. 6.

Storage Drawer (on some models) Oven Door The storage drawer can be removed. Before removing, make sure drawer is cool and empty. For normal range use, it is not suggested to remove the oven door. However, if removal is necessary, make sure the oven is off and cool. Then, follow these instructions. The oven door is heavy. To Remove: 1. Pull the storage drawer straight back to the drawer stop. A. Drawer stop notch 2. Lift up the front of the drawer and pull the drawer out. To Replace: 1.

Complete Installation 1. Check that all parts are now installed. If there is an extra part, go back through the steps to see which step was skipped. 2. Check that you have all of your tools. 3. Dispose of/recycle all packaging materials. 4. Check that the range is level. See the “Level Range” section. 5. Use a mild solution of liquid household cleaner and warm water to remove waxy residue caused by shipping material. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
