Gas Safety
Warning:
NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in
the oven or cover an entire rack with
aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow
through the oven and may cause carbon
monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may also trap
heat, causing a fire hazard.
Warning:
If the information in this manual is not
followed exactly, a fire or explosion may result
causing property damage, personal injury or
death.
Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline or
other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this
or any other appliance.
• WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS:
• Do not try to light any appliance.
• Do not touch any electrical switch.
• Do not use any phone in your building.
• Immediately call your gas supplier from a
neighbor’s phone. Follow the gas supplier’s
instructions.
• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call fire
department.
Installation and service must be performed by a qualified
installer, authorized service agency or the gas supplier.
Warning:
Use this appliance only for its intended use as
described in this manual. NEVER use this
appliance as a space heater to heat or warm
a room. Doing so may result in carbon
monoxide poisoning and overheating the appliance.
Never use the appliance for storage
For proper burner performance, keep igniters clean and
dry.
If a burner goes out and gas escapes, open windows and
doors. Wait until gas dissipates before using the appliance.
Fire Safety
Do not use aluminum foil or protective liners to line any part
of the appliance, especially the oven bottom. Installing these
liners may result in risk of electric shock or fire.
If materials inside an oven should ignite, keep door closed.
Turn off the appliance and disconnect the circuit at the circuit

use, do not touch, or let clothing, potholders, or other
flammable materials contact heating elements or interior
surfaces of oven until they have had sufficient time to cool.
Other surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to
cause burns. Among these surfaces are oven vent
openings, surfaces near these openings and oven doors.
Always place oven racks in desired location while oven is
cool. If a rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not let
potholder contact the heating elements.
Always use dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot
surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholder
touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky
cloth.
Secure all loose garments, etc. before beginning. Tie long
hair so that it does not hang loose, and do not wear loose
fitting clothing or hanging garments, such as ties, scarves,
jewelry, or dangling sleeves.
Child Safety
When children become old enough to use the appliance, it is
the legal responsibility of the parents or legal guardians to
ensure that they are instructed in safe operation of the
appliance by qualified persons.

the side, open the door slowly and slightly to let hot air and/
or steam escape. Keep your face clear of the opening and
make sure there are no children or pets near the unit. After
the release of hot air and/or steam, proceed with your
cooking. Keep doors shut unless necessary for cooking or
cleaning purposes. Do not leave open doors unattended.
Do not heat or warm unopened food containers. Build-up of
pressure may cause the container to burst and cause injury.
Use caution when cooking foods with high alcohol content
(e.g. rum, brandy, bourbon) in the oven. Alcohol evaporates
at high temperatures. There is a risk of burning as the alcohol
English 4
Do not clean the appliance while it is still hot. Some cleaners
produce noxious fumes when applied to a hot surface. Wet
cloths or sponges can cause burns from steam.
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 cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn
customers of potential exposure to such substances.
The burning of gas cooking fuel and the elimination of soil
during self-cleaning can generate some by-products which
are on the list. To minimize exposure to these substances,
always operate this unit according to the instructions
contained in this booklet and provide good ventilation.
When self-cleaning, confirm that the door locks and will not
open. If the door does not lock, stop self clean operation and
contact service.
Wipe out excessive spillage before self-cleaning the oven.
Birds have very sensitive respiratory systems. Keep pet birds
out of the kitchen or other rooms where kitchen fumes could
reach them. During self-clean, fumes are released that may
be harmful to birds. Other kitchen fumes such as overheating
margarines and cooking oils may also be harmful.
Keep oven free from grease build up.
Cookware Safety
Do not place food directly on oven bottom.
Follow the manufacturer's directions when using cooking or
roasting bags.
Do not clean parts or accessories in the self-clean oven.

Oven Vent
The oven vent is located under the center of the control
panel. When the oven is on, warm air passes through this
vent. This venting is necessary for proper air circulation in
the oven and good baking results. Do not block the oven
vent since it is important for air circulation. It is normal to
see steam escaping from the vent, and condensation may
collect in this area. This area may be warm when the oven
is in use.

Convection Fan (some models)
The convection fan operates during the convection mode.
When the oven is operating in a convection mode, the fan
turns off automatically when the door is opened. The
convection fan will take 6 minutes to begin rotating once
the convection switch has been turned on.
Oven Bottom
The oven bottom conceals the lower heating burner. As a
result the burner is protected from damage and spills.

Getting the Most Out of Your Appliance
General Tips
Pan Placement
Baking results are better if pans are placed in the center of
the oven. If baking more than one pan on a rack, allow at
least 1" to 1 ½" of air space around the pan. When baking
four cake layers at the same time, stagger pans on two
racks so that one pan is not directly above the other. See
Baking Layer Cakes with 1 or 2 racks.
Baking Pans and Dishes
• Glass baking dishes absorb heat. Follow
manufacturers' recommendations.
• For tender, light, golden brown crusts, use light, shiny
metal bakeware.
• Dark, rough or dull pans (nonstick or anodized) will
absorb heat and result in a browner, crisper crust.
Some manufacturers recommend reducing the
temperature 25 ºF when using this type of pan. Follow
manufacturers' recommendations.
• Insulated cookie sheets or bakeware may increase the
length of cooking time.
• Do not set any heavy objects on the open oven door.
• Do not keep the empty bakeware in the oven during
cooking as this changes cooking performance.
Aluminum Foil
Do not use aluminum foil or protective liners to line any part
of the appliance, especially the oven bottom. Installing
these liners may result in risk of electric shock or fire.
Preheating the Oven
• Place oven racks in desired position before heating the
oven.
• Preheat the oven in all cooking modes.
• Allow oven to preheat while preparing recipe
ingredients or food items.
• Setting a higher temperature does not shorten preheat
time.
• Once oven is preheated, place food in the oven as
quickly as possible to minimize the loss of heat and
reduction of oven temperature.
Adjusting the Oven Temperature
Your appliance has been factory calibrated and tested to
ensure an accurate baking temperature. For the first frew
uses, follow your recipe times and temperature
recommendations carefully. If you think that the oven is
cooking too hot or too cool for your recipe times, you can
adjust the control so that the oven cooks hotter or cooler
than the temperature displayed.
To adjust oven temperature:
1. Press “BAKE”.
2. Set the temperature to 550°F (287°C) by pressing and
holding the “+”.
3. Within 2 seconds, press and hold “BAKE” until the 2
digit display appears. Release “BAKE” . The display
now indicates the amount of degrees offset between
the original factory temperature setting and the current
temperature setting. If the oven control has the original
factory calibration, the display will read "0".
4. The temperature can now be adjusted up or down 35°F
(19°C), in 5°F steps by pressing and holding the “+” or
“-”. Adjust until the desired amount of offset appears in
the display. When lowering the oven temperature, a
minus sign (-) will appear before the number to indicate
that the oven will be cooler by the displayed amount of
degrees.
5. When you have made the desired adjustment, press
“Clear/Off” to go back to the time of day display.
For Best Results
• Open the door as briefly as possible to avoid
temperature reduction.
• Use the interior oven light to view the food through the
oven window rather than opening the door frequently.
• Use the Timer to keep track of cooking times.
High Altitude Baking
• When cooking at high altitudes, recipes and cooking
times will vary.
For accurate information, write the Extension Service,
Colorado State University, Fort Collins, Colorado
80521. There may be a cost for the guides. Specify
which high altitude food preparation guide you prefer:
general information, cakes, cookies, breads, etc.
English 10
Condensation
• It is normal for certain amount of moisture to evaporate
from the food during any cooking process. The amount
depends on the moisture content of the food. The
moisture may condense on any surface cooler than the
inside of the oven, such as the control panel.

About the Appliance
Behind the classic design is modern and perfected
technology that ensures a high degree of efficiency. For
instance, we have further improved the distribution of heat
in the oven by using newly designed elements. The
advantage of this results in shorter cooking times, perfect
results and lower energy costs.
This oven is very convenient and easy to operate, even
with the wide variety of options. The cooking mode and
temperature can be adjusted with very little effort. The
additional functions such as Cook Time can be set at the
touch of a button in just a few seconds, and the display
always presents the most important information while you
are cooking.
Operating the Oven
Baking layer cakes with 1 or 2 oven racks
Bake
Bake is cooking with dry, heated air.
The lower burner cycles to maintain
the oven temperature.
The Bake mode can be used to prepare a variety of food
items, from pastries to casseroles. Refer to recipe or
package directions for oven temperature and baking time.
Tips
• Preheat the oven if the recipe recommends it.
• Baking time will vary with the size, shape and finish of
the bakeware. Dark metal pans or nonstick coatings
will cook faster with darker results. Insulated bakeware
will lengthen the cook time for most foods.
• For best results, bake food on a single rack with at
least 1-1
walls.
• Eliminate heat loss from the oven by using the window
to periodically check food for doneness instead of
opening the door.
1
/2" space between pans or dishes and oven
For best results when baking cakes using 2 oven racks,
place bakeware on rack positions 2 & 5 (See Fig. 2). For
best results when using a single oven flat rack, place
bakeware on rack positions 2 or 3 (See Fig. 1).
Fig. 1 Fig. 2
If multiple racks are necessary, use a maximum of 2 racks.
For cakes and cookies use rack positions 2 and 5. Stagger
cake pans so that one is not directly above the other (see
graphic above). See "Pan Placement" under "General Tips"
for more info. You may also consider using a convection
mode.
The oven can be programmed to bake at any temperature
from 170°F to 550°F (77°C to 287°C). The factory preset
automatic bake temperature is 350°F (177°C).
To set bake
1. Press “BAKE”. "— — —" appears in the display.
2. Within 5 seconds, press the “+” or “-”. The display will
show "350°F (177°C)." By pressing and holding the “+”
or “-”, the temperature can then be adjusted in 5°F
increments (1°C if the control is set to display Celsius).
3. As soon as the “+” or “-” pad is released, the oven will
begin heating to the selected temperature. When the
displayed temperature reaches the desired baking
temperature, the preheat indicator light will turn OFF
and the control will beep 3 times.
4. To cancel bake, press “Clear/Off”.
To change the oven temperature after bake has
started:
1. Press “BAKE”. Visually check the bake temperature
and that it needs to be changed.
2. Press the “+” or “-” pad to increase or decrease the set
temperature to the desired new oven temperature.

Broil
BROIL
Broil uses intense heat from the
upper burner.
The Broil mode is best suited for cooking thin, tender cuts
of meat (1" or less), poultry and fish. It can also be used to
brown breads and casseroles. Always broil with the door
closed.
The benefits of broiling include:
• Fast and efficient cooking.
• Cooking without the addition of fats or liquids.
4. For optimum browning, preheat broil burner for
approximately 3-4 minutes before adding food.
5. Place food in the oven. Close the oven door.
6. Broil on one side until food is browned. Turn and broil
food on 2nd side.
7. When broiling is finished press “Clear/Off”.
Note: Always pull the oven rack out to the stop position
before turning or removing the food.
CAUTION:
Should an oven fire occur, close the oven
door and turn the oven OFF. If the fire
continues, use a fire extinguisher. DO NOT
put water or flour on the fire. Flour may be
explosive.
Tips:
• Preheat oven for approximately 5 minutes.
• Steaks and chops should be at least ¾" thick.
• Brush fish and poultry with butter or oil to prevent
sticking.
• Turn meats once during the recommended cooktime.
When top browning casseroles, use only metal or glass
ceramic dishes such as Corningware®.
Use the broil feature to cook meats that require direct
exposure to radiant heat for optimum browing results.
When broiling always remember to arrange the oven racks
while oven is still cool. Position the rack as suggested in
the broil settings table.
Broil Oven Rack Position Table
Food Rack Position
Medium hamburgers and
steaks
Fish, medium-well steaks
& pork chops

Convection (some models)
CONVECTION
Convection feature benefits
• Foods may cook up to 25 to 30% faster, saving time
and energy.
• Multiple rack baking.
• No special pans or bakeware needed.
How Convection works
Convection uses a fan to circulate the oven's heat
uniformly and continuously around the oven. This improved
heat distribution allows for fast, even cooking and browning
results. It also gives better baking results when using two
racks at the same time.
Heated air flows around the food from all sides, sealing in
juices and flavors. Meats cooked with convection are
juicier. Poultry is crisp on the outside while staying tender
and moist on the inside. Breads and pastries brown more
evenly. Most foods baked in a standard oven can be
cooked faster and more evenly with Convection.
Convection is similar to Bake. Heat
comes from the lower burner. The
main difference in convection baking
is that the heat is circulated
throughout the oven by the
convection fan. This improves heat
distribution.

How to use Convection
When baking:
1. For optimum cooking results it is recommended to
preheat the oven when baking foods such as cookies,
biscuits and breads.
2. Reduce oven temperature 25°F from recipe’s
recommended oven temperature. Follow the remainder
of the recipe’s instructions using the minimum
recommended cooktime.
3. When using 2 oven racks at the same time, place in
positions 2 & 5 for best results.
Layer cakes will have better results using the “BAKE” pad.
(177°C).
To set Convection:
1. Press “Convection”. "— — —" appears in the display.
2. Within 5 seconds, press the “+” or “-”. The display will
show "350°F (177°C)." By pressing and holding the “+”
or “-”, the temperature can then be adjusted in 5°F
increments (1°C if the control is set to display Celsius).
3. As soon as the“+” or “-” pad is released, the oven will
begin heating to the selected temperature. When the
displayed temperature reaches the desired baking
temperature, the preheat indicator light will turn OFF
and the control will beep 3 times.
4. To cancel Convection, press “Clear/Off”.
To change the oven temperature after Convection has
started:
1. Press “Convection”. Visually check the bake
temperature and see if it needs to be changed.
2. Press the “+” or “-” pad to increase or decrease the set
temperature to the desired new oven temperature.
Operating the Gas Cooktop
Cookware material types
The cookware material determines how evenly and quickly
heat is transferred from the surface element to the pan
bottom. The most popular materials available are:
When roasting
1. Preheating is not necessary when roasting foods using
Convection.
2. Since Convection cooks food faster, reduce the
cooktime by 25% from the recommended cook time of
your recipe. Check the food at this time. If necessary,
increase cooktime until the desired doneness is
obtained.
3. Do not cover foods when roasting - this will prevent the
meat from browning properly.
4. Use the same temperature as indicated in the recipe.
Note:
When using Convection, cook time reductions may vary
depending on the amount and type of food being cooked.
Setting Convection
The oven can be programmed to Convection at any
temperature from 300°F to 550°F (149°C to 287°C). The
factory preset automatic bake temperature is 350°F
Aluminum - Excellent heat conductor. Some types of food
will cause it to darken (Anodized aluminum cookware
resists staining & pitting).
Copper - Excellent heat conductor but discolors easily.
Stainless - Slow heat conductor with uneven cooking
results. Is durable, easy to clean and resists staining.
Cast Iron - A poor heat conductor however will retain heat
very well. Cooks evenly once cooking temperature is
reached. Not recommended for use on ceramic cooktops.
Porcelain-enamel on metal - Heating characteristics will
vary depending on base material.
Glass - Slow heat conductor.
English 15
Using proper cookware
CAUTION:
*These settings are based for medium-weight metal or
aluminum pans with lids. Settings may vary when using
other types of pans.
Do not place flammable items such as plastic
salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or
plastic wrappings on the cooktop when it is in
use. These items could melt or ignite.
Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could
catch fire if placed too close to the range
cooktop.
Important: Do not place aluminum foil, or ANY
material that can melt on the range cooktop. If
these items melt they may damage the cooktop.
Note: The size and type of utensil used, and the amount
and type of food being cooked will influence the setting
needed for best cooking results.
Setting proper burner flame height
The color of the flame is the key to proper burner
adjustment. A good flame is clear, blue and hardly visible in
a well-lighted room. Each cone of flame should be steady
and sharp. Adjust or clean burner if flame is yellow-orange.
For most cooking; start on the highest setting and then
turn to a lower setting to complete the process. Use the
recommendations below as a guide for determining proper
flame size for various types of cooking (Fig. 2)
For deep fat frying; use a thermometer and adjust the
surface knob accordingly. If the fat is too cool, the food will
absorb the fat and be greasy. If the fat is too hot, the food
will brown so quickly that the center will be undercooked.
Do not attempt to deep fat fry too much food at once as the
food will neither brown or cook properly.
Suggested settings for flame height table.
CAUTION:
Never extend the flame beyond the outer
edge of the cooking utensil. A higher flame
wastes energy, and increases your risk of
being burned by the flame (Fig. 2).

Setting surface controls
Your gas range may be equipped with different sized
surface burners. The ability to heat food quicker and in
larger volumes increases as the burner size increases.
The smaller simmer burner (some models) is best suited
for simmering delicate sauces, etc.
The standard size (9,000 BTU) burners may be used for
most surface cooking needs.
The larger POWER PLUS burner (some models) is best
used for bringing large quantities of liquid to temperature
and when preparing larger quantities of food.
Flame Size Type of cooking
High flame Start most foods, bring
water to a boil, pan broiling
Medium flame Maintain a slow boil,
thicken sauces and
gravies, steaming
Low flame Keep foods cooking,
poach, stewing
English 16
It is important to select cookware that is suitable for the
amount and type of food being prepared. Select a burner
and flame size appropriate for the cookware size.
Center Oval Burner (some models)
The center oval burner is for large cooking pots or pans,
oval pans, fish poachers, and griddles. Be sure to center
the pan over the burner and select a flame size appropriate
for the pan.
