LOCATION
Cabinet space, with 5 solid sides must be provided to
completely enclose the recessed part of your built-in oven
except for the vent thimble on outside vented units. See
Figure 1 for all necessary dimensions. A cutout 22” wide by
50-l/4” high must be made in the cabinet front. It is best to
make a template to insure accurate cutting.
Place the bottom of the template on a level base line,1 6-112’
above the floor. This will position the open upper oven door
about 37” above the floor.
It is important that the oven be installed at or above the
minimum height specified. The unit has been tested and
approved in accordance with safety standards at this height.
The oven vent area may get hot when the oven is in use.
Following these installation instructions will move the vent
area out of a range where it would likely be touched by small
children.
The cabinet must have a solid bottom. This solid bottom may
either be at the floor or 16-l/2” above the floor, level with the
bottom edge of the cutout opening. If the solid bottom is to
be at the floor, two runners, centered within the cabinet and
11” apart may be used to support the oven. Be sure the oven
support is solid enough to hold the weight of the unit - about
200 pounds. Also, be sure the support is level and straight.
There is no way to level the oven after installation.
Drafts inside the oven cabinet may affect safe use of your
oven. Any openings around gas and electric service outlets
may be sealed at the time of installation to prevent drafts.

when using L.P. (bottled) gas before
converting the pressure regulator and
burner orifices for L.P. gas usage.
You must follow local codes when installing your built-in
oven. Check with your local utilities for codes and ordl-
nances that apply in your area. If there are no local codes,
you must follow the National Fuel Gas Code ANSl/Z223.1-

The gas supply must be shut off before removing an old over;
and stay off until the hookup of the new oven is finished. You
should know where your main gas shut off valve is located
Never reuse an old connector when installing a new
oven.
Be sure no strain is put on the connecting line assembly To
prevent gas leaks, put a pipe joint compound that resists the
action of L.P. gas, on the male (outside) threads only
Use 1/2”gas inlet pipe. The hole forthe gas inlet pipe should
be 9-114” to the left of the center line of the cabinet (see
Figure 4) and 23” behind the front surface of the cabinet
Connect a 112” coupling to the inlet pipe The top of the
coupling should be about 2-112” above the bottom edge of
the cutout opening (see Figure 4) Before you put Ihe oven
into the cabinet opening, connect the 1’2” reducer shut-off
valve to the coupling (see point A in Figure 4). This valve IS
supplied with the oven and is wire-tied to back of unit. The
manual shut-off valve must be Installed external to the
appliance in the gas line.
Put the oven into the cabinet. NOTE The oven/broiler door
may be removed before inserting the oven rnto the cabinet to
lessen the weight. See the instructions In the Removable
Parts section of the Owners Manual for removing the door
When the oven is in place, remove the hookup and adjust-
ment access covers at the lower oven back (Figure 5)

Keep your kitchen safe
Thousands of people are hurt every year in kitchen fires.
Read the warning precautions in your Use and Care
Guide. Make sure other household members know about
them, too.
Cooking fires can be dangerous because they usually
involve grease. Don’t use water on a grease fire; water
only spreads the fire. Also, never pick up a flaming pan.
Smother a flaming pan on the cooktop be covering it with
a well-fitted lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Flaming grease
outside the pan can be extinguished with baking soda, or
if available, a multipurpose dry chemical or foam-type
extinguisher.
If a fire starts in the oven, keep the oven door closed and

Important Safety Instructions
Gas cooking products have been thoroughly tested for safe and efficient operation. However, as
with any appliance, there are specific installation and safety precautions which must be followed to
ensure safe and satisfactory operation.
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury to persons, or damage when using the cooking
product, follow basic precautions, including the following:
FOR YOURSAFETY
Do not store or use gasoline or
other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or any
other appliance. The fumes can
create a fire hazard or explosion.
If you smell gas:
1. Open windows.
2. Don’t touch electrical switches.
3. Extinguish any open flames.
4. Immediately call your gas supplier.

3.
Read all instructions before using the product.
Install or locate the product only in accordance
with the provided Installation Instructions.
Gas fuels and combustion can result in potential
exposure to chemicals known to cause cancer or
reproductive harm. For example, benzene is a
chemical which is a part of the gas supplied to the
cooking product. It is consumed in the flame
during combustion. However, exposure to a small
amount of benzene is possible if a gas leak
occurs. Formaldehyde and soot are by-products
of incomplete combustion. Properly adjusted
burners with a bluish rather than a yellow flame
will minimize incomplete combustion.

Flace pans on the obl.znracks with 1-l/2 - 2” of air space
on ali sides of each pan Avoid overcrowding the oven.
. Faris too close to each other, to oven walls or lo the oven
bottom, block the free movement of air. Improper air
movement causes uj\even browning and cooking.
2 cake layers
4 cake layers
. Let the oven preheat thoroughly before cooking baked
products. Allow 10 - 15 minutes preheat time.
. Avoid opening the door too often to check the food
during baking as heat will be lost. This may result in poor
baking results.
. Cakes, cookies, muffins, and quick breads should be
baked in shiny pans - to reflect the heat - because
they should have a light golden crust. Yeast breads and
pie crusts should be baked in glass or dull (non-shiny)
pans -to absorb the heat-because they should have
a brown, crisp crust.
. Oven temperatures should be reduced 25 degrees
below recommended temperatures if you use dark pans
or oven proof glass.
. There may be some odor when the oven is first used.
This is caused by the heating of new parts and insula-
tion.
. 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.
. Most baking should be done on the second shelf position
from the bottom. When baking several items, use two
shelves placed on the second and fourth rack positions
fromthebottomoftheoven. Staggerpanssothatnopan

too& that should be cooked to the well-done stage (such
as thick pork chops or poultry).
. All broiling should be done in the upper oven
. Broiling is cooking by direct heat from the broil burner
Tender cuts of meat or marinated meat should be
selected for broiling. For best results steaks and chops
should be at least 3/4” thick.
- Atter placing food on the broiler pan, put the pan on an
oven rack in the proper rack positlon The recom-
mended rack position and cooktng time can be found
In the chart at right
. I he closer the food ISto the broil burner, the faster the
rneat browns on the outside, yet stays red to pink in the
center. Moving the meat farther away from the burner
lets the meat cook to the centerwhile browning outside.
Side one should be cooked 1 2 minutes longer than
side two
. Your oven door should be completely closed while
br3illng.
. Use only the broiler pan and grid that came with your
range for broiling. They are designed for proper
drainage of fat and liquids and help prevent spatter,
smoke or fire.
. Do
not preheat when broiling. For even broiling on
both sides, star-f the food on a cold pan.
. Trim the outer layer of fat from steaks and chops. Slit
the fatty edges to keep the meat from curling.
. Fcr maximum juiciness, salt the first side just before
turning the meat. Salt the second side just before
serving.

.
Brush chicken and fish with butter several times as they
broil When broiling fish, grease the grid to prevent
sticking and broil with skin side down. It is not necessary
to turn fish.

Never leave a soiled broiler pan In the range. Grease
in the pan may smoke or burn the next time the oven is

Be sure you know the correct procedure for putting
out a grease fire. See the section on safety
Do not cover the entire broiler grid
