SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Read all instructions before using this appliance, When using gas or electri-
cal appliances, basic safety precautions should be followed, including the
following:

ers of potential exposure to such
substances.
Gas appliances can cause minor
exposure to four of these sub-
stances, namely benzene, carbon
monoxide, formaldehyde and soot,
caused primarily by the incom-
plete combustion of natural gas or
L.P. fuels. Properly adjusted appli-
ances, 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 fac-
tory, can only be operated with
natural gas. Do not try to operate
it with L.P. (bottled) gas High
flames and toxic fumes could
cause serious injury. If you wish to
use your oven with L.P. gas, you
must convert the range following
the procedure found in the installa-
tion instructions shipped with your
range.
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE]
The California Safe Drinking Water
and Toxic Enforcement Act re.

OPERATION
OvenCooking Tips
It is normal to have some odor when using
your oven for the first time,.To help
eliminate thisodor, ventilate the room
by opening a window or using a
vent hood.
In the back of the oven you will notice a
small tube. Thisis a heat sensor that
maintains the temperature ofthe oven_
Never move or bend this tube.
IMPORTANT= Never cover the oven
bottom or oven rack with aluminum foil
Improper use can cause poor heat flow,
poer baking results and may damage the
oven finish.
/
If baking with more than one pan, place
the pans so each has at least I to 1 !/2"
of air space around it, Place pans so one
is not directly above the other.
The oven vent is located behind the rear
burners°This areacould become hot during
oven use_Never block this vent,
Preheating isbringing the oven temperature
up to thetemperature you will be using
during baking_
Opening the door often to check foods will
cause heat loss and poor baking results.
The Oven Temperature Sensor
continuously senses and controls the
temperature inside the oven. To keep a
constant set temperature, the burner
will cycle or 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.

OPERATION
OvenCookingTips
FLAT COOKIE SHEETS, without sides,
allow air to circulate all around the cookies
for even browning.
SHINY PANS reflect heat, and are per-
fect for cakes and quick breads thatneed
a light brown crust.
GLASS, DARK NON-STICK OR
DARKENED BY AGE BAKEWARE,
absorb 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 1 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.
I[_ During a power"'failure the_
oven burner cannot be lit/
and you should not try to|
do so: ..... )
The oven racks are designed with stop
locks, a convenience as welt as a safety
precaution.r The guides have a bump to
prevent the racks from tilting when they
are pulled out of the oven.
Bump In
Rack Guide
Your oven has four (4) rack positions.
Above the top guide cannot be used for
a rack placement.
Guide
Always place oven racks in the
proper position while oven is cool.
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 guider See Do It Yourself
Adjustment in the back of this manual to
make the adjustment if you feel your oven
is too hot or too cool for your cooking
preference.

OPERATION
Baking
When you press Bake, the last
temperature used will show in the display.
Use the UP arrow pad to increase this
temperature or the DOWN arrow pad to

The oven will start to heat automatically.
You will see 100 degrees showing in the
upper right corner of the display, As the
oven heats this temperature will change
until it reaches your selected temperature,
then a tone will sound.
If you pause between steps for more than
60 seconds as you are setting this
function, a tone will sound This is normal.,
The control is letting you know you need to
continue setting this function.
You should remember that food will
continue to cook after the oven turns OFF
unless you remove the food immediately.
You may hear a fan. This is normal. The
fan may continue to run after oven has
been turned off.
Never let food, such as dairy products,
fish, poultry, etc,, sit for more than 1 hour
before cooking starts when you set your
oven for a delay start, Room temperature
promotes the growth of harmful bacteria.
Be sure the oven light is off because heat
from the bulb will speed bacterial growth.

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,
__ ............ .............. ,_,;,_,_
/.l|l"'_ If foil ,s used, it must
[_,l be molded t,ghtly to
_IE_/the gr,d 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 oven is a
potential smoke or fire
hazard.
The US Department of Agriculture
notes that meat cooked rare is popular,
but meat cooked to only 140°F (rare)
means that some poisoning organisms
may survive.
The closer you place foods to the broil
element, the faster foods brown on the
outside yet remain red to pink in the
center.
Moving meats away from the element
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. If your oven
is connected to 208 volts, you may want
to use a higher rack position and/or
broil foods longer.
The size, weight, thickness, starting
temperature and your preference of the
aloneness of the meat will affect broiling.

remove any soil. Rinse well with clean
water and dry.
3. Wipe up any heaw spillovers on
the oven bottom.
11 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, frayed or
displaced on the door, 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 oven door maintains a good
seal and prevents any heat loss.
r
_tensils should never
be left in the oven
during a self.clean
cycle.
The 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 down
with vegetable oil after the
cycle will help them slide
easier.
For the first clean cycle,
vent the room with an
opened window or hood
vent. This will reduce the
odor when heating new
_parts. ilUll iiii
