Before you call for service chart

Read all instructions before using this appliance.
The following instructions are based on safety
considerations and must be strictly followed to eliminate
the potential risks of fire, electric shock, or personal injury.
Have your appliance installed and properly grounded by a
qualified installer according to the installation instructions.
Have the installer show you the location of the gas shut off
valve and how to shut it off in an emergency.
Always disconnect power to appliance before servicing.
To ensure proper operation and avoid possible injury or
damage to unit do not attempt to adjust, repair, service, or
replace any part of your appliance unless it is specifically
recommended in this book. All other servicing should be
referred to a qualified installer or servicer.
Be sure all packing materials are removed from the
appliance before operating it.
Keep area around appliance clear and free from combustible
materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and
materials.
If appliance is installed near a window, proper precautions
should be taken to prevent curtains from blowing over
burners.
Never leave any items unattended on the cooktop. The hot
air from the vent may ignite flammable items and may
increase pressure in closed containers which may cause
them to burst.
Many aerosol-type spray cans are EXPLOSIVE when
exposed to heat and may be highly flammable. Avoid their
use or storage near an appliance.
Many plastics are vulnerable to heat. Keep plastics away
from parts of the appliance that may become warm or hot.
Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop as they may melt
or soften if left too close to the vent or a lighted surface
burner.
To eliminate the hazard of reaching over hot surface
burners, cabinet storage should not be provided directly
above a unit. If such storage is provided, it should be limited
to items which are used infrequently and which are safely
stored in an area subjected to heat from an appliance.
Temperatures may be unsafe for some items, such as
volatile liquids, cleaners or aerosol sprays.
Turn off appliance and ventilating hood to avoid spreading
the flame. Extinguish flame then turn on hood to remove
smoke and odor.
Use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher or baking soda
to smother fire or flame. Never use water on a grease fire.
If fire is in the oven or broiler pan, smother by closing oven
door.
If fire is in a pan on the surface burner, cover pan. Never
attempt to pick up or move a flaming pan.
Never leave children alone or unsupervised near the
appliance when it is in use or is still hot. Children should
never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.
Children must be taught that the appliance and utensils in
it can be hot. Let hot utensils cool
in a safe place, out of reach of
small children. Children should be
taught that an appliance is not a
toy. Children should not be
allowed to play with controls or
other parts of the unit.
CAUTION: Never store items of
interest to children in cabinets
above an appliance or on the
backguard of a range. Children
climbing on the appliance or on the
appliance door to reach items
could be seriously injured.

Also, do not use the
cooktopor oven as a
storageareaforfoodor
cookingutensils.
Donotobstructtheflow
of combustionandven-
tilationairbyblockingthe
f,r
oven vent or air intakes. Restriction of air flow to the burner
prevents proper performance and increases carbon
monoxide emission to unsafe levels.
Avoid touching oven vent area while oven is on and for
several minutes after oven is turned off. Some parts of the
vent and surrounding area become hot enough to cause
burns. After oven is turned off, do not touch the oven vent or
surrounding areas until they have had sufficient time to cool.
Always place a pan on a surface burner before turning it on.
Be sure you know which knob controls which surface burner.
Make sure the correct burner is turned on and that the burner
has ignited. When cooking is completed, turn burner off
before removing pan to prevent exposure to burner flame.
Always adjust surface burner flame so that itdoes not extend
beyond the bottom edge of the pan. An excessive flame is
hazardous, wastes energy and may damage the appliance,
pan or cabinets above the appliance.
Never leave a surface
especially when using a
high heat setting or when
deep fat frying. Boilovers
cause smoking and
greasy spillovers may
ignite. Clean up greasy
spills as soon as
possible. Do not use high
heat for extended
cooking operations.
cooking operation unattended
CAUTION: Never use an
appliance as a step stool to
cabinets above. Misuse of
appliance doors or drawers,
such as stepping, leaning or
sitting on the door or drawer,
may result in possible tipping
of the appliance, breakage of
door, and serious injuries.
Do not touch a hot oven light bulb with a damp cloth as the
bulb could break. Should the bulb break, disconnect power
to the appliance before removing bulb to avoid electrical
shock.
Never heat an unopened container on the surface burner or
in the oven. Pressure build-up may cause container to burst
resulting in serious personal injury or damage to the
appliance.
Use dry, sturdy pot holders. Damp pot holders may cause
burns from steam. Dish towels or other substitutes should
never be used as pot holders because they can trail across
hot surface burners and ignite or get caught on appliance
parts.
Always let quantities of hot fat used for deep fat frying cool
before attempting to move or handle.
Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials
accumulate in or near the appliance, hood or vent fan. Clean
hood frequently to prevent grease from accumulating on
hood or filter. When flaming foods under the hood, turn the
fan on.
Follow food manufacturer's instructions. If a plastic frozen
food container and/or its cover distorts, warps, or is
otherwise damaged during cooking, immediately discard the
food and its container. The food could be contaminated.
Use caution when wearing garments made of flammable
material to avoid clothing
fires. Loose fitting or long
hanging-sleeved apparel
should not be worn while
cooking. Clothing may ignite
or catch utensil handles.
Always place oven racks in the desired positions while oven
is cool. Slide oven rack out to add or remove food, using dry
sturdy pot holders. Always avoid reaching into the oven to
add or remove food. If a rack must be moved while hot, use
a dry pot holder. Always turn the oven off at the end of
cooking.
Use care when opening the oven door. Let hot air or steam
escape before removing or replacing food.

NOTE: A delay in the time it takes to light the pilot may
signal a need to bleed air from the line. Reference the
above paragraph "HOW TO LIGHT OVEN PILOT" for
detailed instructions.
4. Once the pilot is lit, leave the OVEN knob in the PILOT
ON position if you wish to use the oven.
The standing pilot will remain lit if the OVEN knob is left
in the PILOT ON position. If the OVEN knob is turned to
the OFF position, gas supply to the pilot will be turned off
and the standing pilot flame will extinguish.
Because each oven has its own personal baking
characteristics, do not expect that your new oven will
perform exactly like your previous oven. You may find that
the cooking times, oven temperatures, and cooking results
differ somewhat from your previous range. Allow a period of
adjustment. If you have questions concerning baking
results, please refer to pages 9, 10 and 11 for additional
information.
The OVEN knob is used to select
and maintain the oven tem-
perature. Push in and turn this
knob just to the desired
temperature - not to a higher
temperature and then back. This
provides more accurate oven
temperatures.
Turn this knob to the PILOT ON 9215-294
position if you wish to use the OVEN KNOB
oven. The oven standby pilot will remain lit. Turn the knob
to OFF if the oven will not be used or when traveling.
When the recreational vehicle is not in use or while traveling,
turn the OVEN knob to the OFF position and turn off the main
gas supply. This will turn off the oven pilot.

OCCU rs.
3. For baking: Place the food in the center of the oven,
allowing one to two inches between the utensil and the
oven walls.
For broiling: Place the broiler pan in the broiler area
directly below the oven burner.
When the oven is in use, the oven vent area may feel
warm or hot to the touch. Do not block this area or the vent
opening as this may affect cooking results.
4. Check the food for doneness at the minimum time in the
recipe. Cook longer if necessary.
5. Remove the food from the oven and turn the OVEN knob
to the PILOT ON or the OFF position.
Preheating is necessary for baking. Turn the OVEN knob to
the desired temperature and allow about 10to 15 minutes for
the oven to preheat.
Selecting a higher temperature will not shorten the preheat
time and may affect baking results. It is not necessary to
preheat for roasting or broiling.
Do not cover the oven bottom or the entire oven rack
with foil.
Use a reliable recipe and accurately measure fresh
ingredients. Carefully follow directions for oven
temperature and cooking time. Preheat oven if recom-
mended.
Use the correct rack position. There are two or three rack
positions, depending on the model. Baking results may be
affected if the wrong rack position is used.
• Use the lower rack position for most baking. Use the
upper rack position for cookies or biscuits on a cookie
sheet.
Top browning may be darker if food is located toward
the top of the oven.
Bottom browning may be darker iffood is located toward
the bottom of the oven.
Cookware material and size. Always use the type and size
of pan called for in the recipe. Cooking times or cooking
results may be affected if the wrong size is used.
The maximum recommended pan size is a13 x 9x
2-inch cake pan or a 14 x 10 x 2-inch cookie sheet.
•Shiny metal pan reflects heat away from the food,
produces lighter browning and a softer crust. Use shiny
pans for baking cakes or cookies. For optimum baking
results, bake cookies and biscuits on a flat cookie sheet.
Ifthe pan has sides, such as a jelly roll pan, browning may
not be even.
Dark metal pan or a pan with an anodized (dull)
bottom absorbs heat, produces darker browning and a
crisper crust. Use this type of pan for pies, pie crusts or
bread.
If using oven-proof glassware, or dark pans such as
Baker's Secret reduce the oven temperature by 25°F
except when baking pies or bread. Use the same baking
time as called for in the recipe.
Allow hot air to flow freely through the oven for optimum
baking results. Large pans or improper placement of pans
in the oven will block air flow and may result in uneven
browning. For optimum browning and even cooking results:
• Do not crowd a rack by placing several pans on a rack.
Also, do not block air flow by using too large of a pan.
• Allow one to two inches between the pan and the oven
walls.
Check the cooking progress at the minimum time. If
necessary, continue checking at intervals until the food is
done. If the oven door is opened too frequently, heat will
escape from the oven; this can affect baking results and
wastes energy.

cooktop.
3. To prevent damage to the grommets, do not press down
on all four corners at the same time.
4. Install one side of the grate then install the other side.
To replace:
1. Insert the slot on the right rear corner of the cooktop
flange over the tab on the burner box wall.
2. Lower the rear of the cooktop into place, inserting the slot
on the left rear corner of the cooktop flange over the tab
on the burner box wall.
3. Lower the top into place and apply slight pressure at the
two front corners to secure the cooktop in place.
Due to certain atmospheric conditions, the cooktop on your
appliance may show signs of rust on the underneath side.
This is especially true in areas of high humidity and salt air
areas.
To help eliminate this condition, caution should be taken to
make sure that the underneath side of the main top is kept
dry. This is especially important in areas of high humidity
where moisture accumulates. If you detect signs of rust, we
have found it helpful to spray the underneath side with a coat
of high-heat tested rustolium or silicone paint.
CAUTION: Remove top from appliance and spray in a
well vented area.

3 BURNER COOKTOP

Do not place excessive weight on an open oven door or
stand on an open oven door as, in some cases, it could
cause the range to tip over, break the door, or cause serious
injury to the user.
When opening the oven door, allow steam and hot air to
escape before reaching in oven to check, add or remove
food.
Your RV range features one oven rack with a choice of two or
three rack positions. The oven rack is designed with a safety
lock-stop position to keep the rack from accident@ coming
completely out ofthe oven when pulling the rack out to add or
remove food. The rack also features two tabs to keep the
rack from rattling during travel.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to change the rack position
when the oven is hot.
To remove:
1. Be sure rack is cool.
2. Pull the rack straight out until it stops. This releases the
two tabs on the sides of the rack.
3. Tilt the front end of the rack up, then push the rack to the
back of the oven.
4. Lift the rear of the rack up, then remove it from the oven.
To replace:
1. Place the oven rack in the oven, on top of the rack
supports.
2. Push the rack to the back of the oven to allow the rack to
drop into place.
3. Pull the rack forward to the stop position.
4. Then, as you push the rack back, lower the two tabs
under the rack support. This will anchor the rack into
place and prevent it from rattling during travel.
Protect the oven bottom against excessive spillovers,
especially acid or sugary spillovers, as they may discolor the
porcelain. Use the correct size cooking utensil to avoid
boilovers. Never place utensils or aluminum foil directly on
the oven bottom.
To remove:
1. When cool, push the oven bottom toward the back of the
oven against the springs on the back wall.
This will release the oven bottom from the two tabs on the
oven walls.
2. Then lift the oven bottom up and out of the oven.
%
000000
%
To replace:
1. Positionthe oven bottom so the holes on the flange are
located at the front of the oven.
2. Slide the oven bottom to the back of the oven until the rear
edge is inserted into the bracket across the back of the
oven.
,
,
Then, push the oven bottom back against the springs and
lower into place.
Be sure each slot on the side-front corner securely fits
over the tabs on the oven wall. This will lock the oven
bottom into place and prevent itfrom rattling during travel.
