SAFETY
Never use your oven for warmrng or heating a room. Such
use can be dangerous as well as damaging to oven
parts
Never wear loose frttrng or hangtng clothes while using your
oven. Such clothes may catch fire and cause serious Injury.
Never heat unopened food containers. Pressure build-up
may make container burst and cause Injury
Always use care when opening oven door. Let hot air or
steam escape before removing or replacing food.
Always move oven racks while oven is cool. If a rack must
be moved while the oven IS hot, do not let the pot holder
touch the hot heating element in the oven.
Always use dry pot holders when removing pans from the
oven. Moist or damp pot holders can cause steam burns.
Do not let a pot holder touch a hot heating element. Do not
use a towel or other bulky cloth.

GREASE FIRES
Always keep the appliance area clear and free from things
that WI/I burn, gasoline and other flammable vapors and II-
qcllds Never store materials In an oven. Flammable items
may catch fire and plastic Items may melt and burn.
When broiling, always remember to remove the broiler pan
from the oven and clean it when you are done cooking If
you leave a broiler pan full of grease In the oven and later
use the oven, you may have a broiler fire
Never use alumnum foil to line the oven bottom, except
as suggested on page 8 of this manual Improper use of
these liners may create a fire hazard
PUTTING OUT AN OVEN FIRE
If you do have an oven fire, do not try to
move the pan. Instead:
1. Keep oven door closed.
2. Turn oven off.
3. If the fire continues, throw baking soda
on the fire.
Never use water on a grease fire - it will
only spread the flames. Never pick up a
flaming pan.
SELF-CLEANING OVEN
Always remove the oven racks, the broiler pan and other
utensrls before a self-cleaning cycle.
Never use any type of commercralfoven cleaner or oven
liner protective coating In or around any part of your oven
Do not use any type of aerosol product near your oven
because the chemical that produces the spraying action,
may, In the presence of heat, cause metal parts to corrode
and could be flammable.
The door gasket IS essential for a good seal so care should
be taken not to rub, damage, or move the gasket. Clean
only with hydrogen peroxide. See page 11.
Clean only oven parts listed in this manual. See pages 1l-1 5
for special cleaning Instructions.
GLOW BAR IGNITION
Your oven has glow bar Ignrtlon. When you turn the oven
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
A During a power failure the burner cannot
be lit and you should not try to do so.

OVEN VENT NEW OVEN ODOR
When the oven is on, heated arr moves through a vent below the control
panel.
The vent area could get hot during oven use.
The vent is needed for g.
roper air flow in the oven and 9ood baking results.
Do nol block thusvent orng so may cause cooking far ure. fire or damage
to the oven.
RACKANDPANARRANGEMENT
Put oven rack(s) in place before turning on the oven. Rack postions are
numbered 1 to 4, starting at the bottom with number 1, In general when
using only one rack, positron No. 2 should be used When usrng two racks
positrons No. 2 and 4 work best.
When usin cookie sheets center them on the rack. When using two cookie
sheets at t
i!e same time use rack positions No. 2 and 4. The cookies on
the lower rack may be done 1-2 minutes before the ones on the hi her
rack. You may want to switch rack positions when baking is halfway finr22ed.
Pans too close to each other, to oven walls or to the oven bottom block
the free movement of air. Improper air movement causes uneven brown-
ing and cooking.
Normallv there should be 1% to 2 inches of air space on all sides of each
an in the oven. See tips below.
Zasseroles. 3 Pans 4 Pans (staggered)
5
During the first baking and broiling cycles in your new oven, there may
be some odor. This is normal and is caused by the heating of new parts
and insulation. The odor will go away within a short time. A vent fan or
other ventilation will help to clear the air.
USING FOIL
For Baking
To catch spillovers. cut a piece of foil slightly larger than the pan and turn
up the edges. Use two oven racks and put the foil on the lower oven rack
below the pan. Do not use aluminum foil directly under a pan on the same
oven rack. The foil will reflect heat away from the pan.
I I
CAUTION
Do not cover the oven bottom or an entire oven rack with foil.
The foil can block normal heat flow, cause cooking failures, and
damage the oven interior.
For Roasting
For slow browning, place a foil “tent” loosely over the meat. This is -al-
ly good on a large turkey. Do not seal the foil. Sealing the foil wrll tend
to steam the meat.
To reduce spattering, lightly crush foil and put it in the bottom of the pan
under the food.
For Broiling
CAUTION
Do not axer the broiler grid with foil. Hot fat on the foil may cause
a broiler fire. If a fire starts, close the oven door and turn con-
trols off. If Rre does not go out, throw baking soda on the fire.
Do not put water on the fire.

WEHEATING
Wrth -ecrpes lhat call for an oven preheated to a cenarn temperature, rt
IS very rmportanl that you follow those rnstruchons It IS nol lrkely that you
wrll get good bakrng results every trme wrthout preheatrng to the needed
temperature. unless Ihe recrpe says to start In a cold oven
After the oven IS preheated and you are ready lo put Ihe food In, try lo
have everythrng handy so that you WIII nol have to leave the oven door
open for an extended penod 01 trme
Openrng the door loo often to check the food durrng bakrng makes It rm-
possrble for the oven to stay at Ihe same temperature you have selected
Try lo llme your baking and check only when close to berng lrnrshed
NOTE. When usmg cookware made of ovenproof glass or pottery,
Teflon B coated cookware and dull or darkened pans rn the oven, be
sure to reduce recipe temperature by 25OF (see Choosing Cookware,
paw 9)
MOISTURE
As your oven heats up, water droplets may form on the door or door glass
To prevenl this. open the oven door for the frrst mtnule of oven heat up
to let Ihe morst atr out
CHOOSING OVEN COOKWARE
ALUMINUM: Absorbs heat faster than glass or steel and conducts heat
well G’ves delicate brownrng, tender crusts, and reduces spatterrng of
roasts Best for cakes, muffrns, quack breads, cookres and roastrng
OVENPROOF GLASS/POTTERY: Because thus cookware absorbs and
holds heat well you should lower your oven temperature 25OF Gives a
food a deep crusty brown top Best for casseroles
TEFLON@ , DULL OR DARKENED COOKWARE:
Absorbs heat qurcker
than shiny cookware Lower your oven temperature 25FO (except for pastry)
Good lor pies and other foods baked In pastry shells

$0 keep the meat from curlrng
‘I Always put the food being broiled on the proper rack (see chart at right))
Good placed too close to the broiler may spatter, smoke or catch fire
I* For maxrmum Jucrness, salt the first srde Just before turning the meat
Salt the second side Just before serving
0 Brush chrcken and fish with butter several times as they brorl. When
hrorling fish, grease the grad to prevent sticking and broil wrth skrn srde
down It IS not necessary to turn fish.
u Never leave
a soiled broiler pan In the range Grase in the pan may
smoke or burn the next time the oven IS used See page 13 for trps on
cieanrng the broiler pan and grid.
I* Be sure you know how to put out a grease fire See page 5
POSITIONING BROILER PAN
After placing food on the broiler pan, slide the pan into the proper rack
posrtion
We sure the sump (grease well) In the pan IS to the front of the range.
See the chart (at right) for recommended rack posrtron and cooking time.
Most foods can be broiled on the HI setting. Select the LO Broil setting
to avold excessive browning or drying of foods that should be cooked to
the well done stage (such as thick pork chops or poultry).
This chart is a general guide. The size, weight, thickness and startmg
temperature of the food, as well as your own personal preference, will
affect the desired cookmg.

Note: Dunng a delayed self-clean operation you can find out when the
oven turns on by pushrng and holdrng the CLEAN button
TO STOP A CLEAN CYCLE:
1. Press the OVEN CANCEL button.
2 Wart until the oven has cooled below locking temperature (20-30
mrnutes) and the word LOCK is off in the display
You will not be able to open the door unless the oven temperature IS at
