SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Read all instructions before using this appliance. When using gas or electrical
appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the following:
WARNING!! if the
information in this manual :
is not followed exactly, a
ifire, explosion, or gas leak may i'
result causing property damage, iI
personal injury, or death.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE!
The California Safe Drinking
Water and Toxic Enforcement Act
requires the governor of California
to publish a list of substances
known to the state to cause birth
defects or other reproductive harm
and requires businesses to warn
customers of potential exposure to
such substances.
Gas appliances can cause
minor exposure to four of these
substances, namely benzene,
carbon monoxide, formaldehyde
and soot, caused primarily by the
incomplete combustion of natural
gas or L.P_ fuels. Properly adjusted
appliances, indicated by the bluish
rather than a yellow flame, will
minimize incomplete combustion.
Exposure to these substances can
be minimized by further venting
with an open window or using a
ventilation fan or hood.
The oven, as shipped from the
factory, can only be operated with
natural gas. Do not try to operate it
with LP. (bottled) gas. High flames
and toxic fumes could cause
serious injury. If you wish to use
your oven with LP. gas, you must
convert the range following the
procedt,re found in the installation
instructions shipped with your
range.
IMPORTANT." The health of
some birds is extremely sensitive
to the fumes given off during the
self-cleaning cycle of any oven. Move
birds to another well-ventilated room.
................................. .q
WARNING -- L,P, BURNER
ADJUSTMENTS
if you intend to use
Liquefied Petroleum Gas (bottled
gas) all LP. adjustments in the
Installation Instructions must be
made before using your oven.
If your oven is not properly
adjusted, flames may be too high,
or the oven may use too much
fuel, release toxic fumes or cook
_poorly.

OPERATION
OvenCookingTips
It is normal to have some odor when
using your oven for the first time, To
help eliminate this odor, ventilate the
room by opening a window or using
a vent hood.
IMPORTANT: Never cover the oven
bottom or oven rack with aluminum
foil, Improper use can cause poor
heat flow, poor baking results and
may damage the oven finish, To
prevent staining from spillovers, you
may place a piece of aluminum foil or
cookie sheet on the rack below the
food which may spill over,
Preheating is bringing the oven
temperature up to the temperature
you wit! be using during baking Let
the oven preheat when recipes call
for preheating
Opening the door often to check
foods will cause heat loss and poor
baking results
In the back of the oven you will notice
a small tube This is a heat sensor
that maintains the temperature of the
oven, Never move or bend this tube
Te u,oSono otll
The oven vent outlet is located behind
the rear top burners This area could
become hot during oven use, It is
normal for steam to come out of
the vent and/or collect moisture
underneath when the oven is in
use The vent is important for proper
air circulation Never block this vent.
Oven Vent
Baking results will be better if baking
pans are centered in the oven as
much as possibleo If baking with more
than one pan, place the pans so each
has at least ! to 11/2"of air space
around it_ Place pans so one is not
directly above the other°

OPERATION
OvenCooking Tips
The Oven Temperature Sensor
continuously senses and controls
the temperature inside the oven.. To
keep a constant set temperature,
the burner will cycle (turn on and off
during cooking)
The low temperature zone of this
range (between 170°F and 200°F) is
available to keep hot cooked foods
warm Food kept longer than two
hours at these low temperatures may
spoil
Most recipes for baking have been
developed using high-fat products
such as butter or margarine (80% fat
by weight--the federal requirement
for products labeled "margarine")
You will get poor results if cakes, pies,
pastries, cookies, or candies are
made with low-fat spreads.. Low-fat
spreads contain less fat and more
water. The high moisture content of
these spreads affects the texture and
flavor of favorite baked recipes The
lower the fat content of a spread
product, the more noticeable these
differences become. To ensure
best results, use margarine, butter, or
stick spreads containing at least 70%
vegetable oil.
FLAT COOKIE SHEETS, without
sides, allow air to circulate all around
the cookies for even browning.

SHINY PANS reflect heat, and are
perfect for cakes and quick breads
that need a light brown crust.
GLASS, DARK NON-STICK OR
DARKENED BY AGE BAKEWARE
absorbs heat and can be used
for yeast breads, pie crust or foods
that need a brown crust.. The oven
temperature, when using these pans
should be reduced by 25°F
When you turn the Oven Control on,
the glow bar igniter begins to heat.
When the igniter is hot enough, in
about t minute, the gas flows into the
burner and is ignited.
The igniter glows bright orange when
hot. It cycles on and off with the
thermostat and will glow whenever the
burner is on.

OPERATION
OvenCookingTips
To prolong the life of your oven light
bulb, follow these helpful tips: Always
turn the light off when the oven is not
in use or during a clean cycle If your
oven light is left on for an extended
period of time, the oven will be warm
when the door is opened due to the
heat generated from the oven light
bulb
CAUTION: When you are using the
rack in the lowest position (1), you will
need to use caution when pulling the
rack out We recommend that you pull
the rack out several inches and then,
using two potholders, pull the rack out
by holding the sides of it The rack is
tow and you could be burned if you
place your hand in the middle of the
rack and pull all the way out Be very
careful not to burn your hand on the
door when using a rack in the lowest
position (1)
The oven racks are designed with
stops, a convenience as well as a
safety precaution The guides have a
bump to prevent the racks from tilting
when they are pulled out of the oven
This design allows racks to be
inserted in only one way,
Bump In t_
Rack Guide -_.I_ "_
_._._.,a-_ _ -%,-_ -,_.
Your oven has four (4) rack positions,
The top position is only a guide It
cannot be used as a rack position
Guide
You may feel that your new oven
cooks differently than the oven it
replaced, We recommend that you
use your new oven a few weeks to
become more familiar with it,
following the times given in your
recipes as a guide, If you feel your
oven is too hot or too cool for your
cooking preference, see Do-it-
Yourself Adjustment in the back of
this manual to make the adjustment
Always place oven racks in the

OPERATION
Broiling
Broiling is cooking by direct heat
from the Broil Burner, The oven door
should remain closed during broiling.
It is not necessary to preheat the oven
when broiling Use the broiler pan and
grid that came with your range. Both
are designed for proper drainage of
fat and liquids
lf foil is used, it must be
molded tightly to the grid
and slits cut into the foil
to match those of the grid. This
allows fats and liquids to drain
into the broiler pan, preventing
fire and excessive smoke.
Always remove the
pan and grid from
the oven, Storing or
forgetting a soiled
broiler pan in the
fl
oven is a potential smoke or
fire hazard.

The U S, Department of Agriculture
recommends to cook meat and
poultry thoroughly--meat to at least
an iNTERNAL temperature of 160°F
and poultry to at least an INTERNAL
temperature of 180°F Cooking to
these temperatures usually protects
against food-borne illness.
The closer you place foods to the
broil burner, the faster foods brown on
the outside yet remain red to pink in
the center,
Moving meats away from the burner
will allow the meat to cook to the
center while browning on the outside
Using this positioning, cook side 1 at
least 2 minutes longer than side 2
The size, weight, thickness, starting
temperature and your preference of
the doneness of the meat will affect
broiling This chart is based on meats
at refrigerator temperature

Self-CleaningCycle
,Remove the broiler pan and grid,
utensils and any foil that may be
in the oven
2. ff your oven is equipped
with nickel oven racks, they
should be removed If your
oven is equipped with gray
porcelain-coated oven racks,
they may stay in the oven during
the self-clean cycle.
3. Soil on the front frame and
outside the gasket on the door
liner wilt need to be cleaned by

soap-filled pads or cleansers such as
Soft Scrub ® to remove any soil Rinse
well with clean water and dry
4. Wipe up any heavy spitlovers on
the oven bottom
5_ Do not clean the door gasket
The fiberglass material of the oven
door gasket cannot withstand
abrasion. It is essential for the
gasket to remain intact If you
notice it becoming worn or frayed,
it should be replaced.
The door gasket is designed to have
a 5"-6" gap at the bottom of the door,
This allows for proper air circulation
Door Panel Gasket
Door Liner
It is normal for your oven door to give
the appearance of not having a good
seal against the range, This is due to
the gasket, The location of the gasket
on the door maintains a good seat and
prevents any heat loss_

rUtensils should never be
left in the oven during a
self-clean cycle.
Nickel oven racks may be
cleaned during the self-clean
cycle, but will lose their luster
and become hard to slide. If you
choose to leave them in during
the cycle, wiping them with
vegetable oil after the cycle
will help them slide easier.
Gray porcelain-coated oven
racks may safely be cleaned in
the oven during a self-clean
cycle, it will be necessary to
grease the edges of the oven
rack with a light coating of
vegetable oil after a clean cycle.
This will help maintain the ease
of sliding the racks in and out of
the oven.
For the first clean cycle, vent the
room with an opened window or
hood vent. This will reduce the
odor when heating new parts.
