Location Set your new range 1/2” (1.3 cm) away from the rear wall and line it up with the kitchen counters. Make sure there is at least 1/2” (1.3 cm) of clearance between each side of the range and the kitchen counters.
Install an oven rack in the center of the oven. Move the range to its final position, then put a spirit level on the rack to check for levelness. Take two readings, one with the level placed diagonally first in one direction, and then the other.

Allow 2” to 4” (5.1 to 10.2 cm) around the utensil(s) for proper air circulation and be sure pans do not touch each other, the door, sides or back of oven.
• Place a marked glass measuring cup filled with water on the center of the oven rack. If the water level is uneven, refer to the installation instructions for leveling the range. • Be sure to allow 2” to 4” (5.1 cm to 10.2 cm) of clearance on all sides of each pan in the oven.
Broiling Broiling is a method of cooking tender cuts of meat by direct heat under the broil element of the oven. Preheating Preheating is suggested when searing rare steaks. (Remove the broiler pan before preheating. Foods will stick if placed on hot metal.) To preheat, set the oven control(s) to BROIL as instructed in the Owner’s Guide. Wait for the element to become red-hot, usually about 2 minutes.
Ceramic Glass Cooktop The ceramic-glass cooktop has electric heating coils located below the ceramic glass surface. The design of the glass cooktop outlines the area of the surface heating unit below. Most importantly, make sure the diameter of the pan matches the diameter of the surface unit. Heat is transferred up through the surface of the cooktop.
To Operate the Warm Zone Your range is equipped with a warm zone. The purpose of the warm zone is to keep hot cooked foods at serving temperature. Always start with hot food. It is not recommended to heat cold food on the warm zone.
Ceramic Glass Cooktop SPECIAL CAUTION FOR ALUMINUM FOIL AND ALUMINUM COOKING UTENSILS Aluminum foil Use of aluminum foil will damage the cooktop. Do not use under any circumstances. Aluminum utensils The melting point of aluminum being much lower than that of other metals, care must be taken when aluminum pots or pans are used. If allowed to boil dry, not only will the utensil be ruined, but also permanent damage in the form of breakage, fusing or marking may affect the ceramic glass surface.
