Do not store or use 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 neighbouring building. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.

• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.

Installation and servicing must be performed by a qualified installer, service agent, or gas supplier.

• Remove all tape and packaging wrap before using the oven. If any glue remains, touch the residue with the
sticky side of the packaging tape, or use a cloth soaked with rubbing alcohol. Use caution as rubbing alcohol is
flammable. Rinse with warm water and wipe dry.

• Destroy the carton and plastic bags after the range is unpacked. Children should not use packaging material
for play. Cartons covered with rugs, bedspreads, or plastic sheets can become air-tight chambers. Remove all
staples from the carton. Staples can cause severe cuts and destroy finishes if they come in contact with
appliances or furniture.

• Be safety conscious. The perparation of food in an oven requires temperatures that could cause severe burns.
Before using this, or any new appliance, carefully read and follow all instructions.

PROPER

INSTALLATION

•Be sure your appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician in accordance with the
National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223. - lasted edition, or in Canada CAN/CGA B149.1, and CAN/CGA B149.2,
and the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No.70-lasted edition, or in Canada CSA Standard C22.1, Canadian
Electrical Code, Part 1, and local code requirements. Install only per installation instructions provided in this
Owner’s Use and Care Guide. Be sure leveling legs are in place at the bottom corners of the range. If necessary,
raise or lower the leveling legs at the base of the range by turning clockwise or counterclockwise to ensure a level
range.

• Ask your dealer to recommend a qualified technician or an authorized repair service. Have the technician
familiarize you with the locations of the manual gas shut off valve or gas meter, in the event it is necessary to
shut off gas supply to the unit during an emergency.

WARNING: Failure to act in accordance with instructions regarding the following

situations may result in propery damage, bodily harm, or death.

• TO REDUCE THE RISK OF TIPPING THE RANGE, IT MUST BE SECURED BY A PROPERLY
INSTALLED ANTI-TIP BRACKET PROVIDED WITH THE RANGE. TO CHECK IF THE DEVICE IS
INSTALLED AND ENGAGED PROPERLY, CAREFULLY TIP THE RANGE FORWARD. THE ANTI-TIP
DEVICE SHOULD ENGAGE AND PREVENT THE RANGE FROM TIPPING OVER. REFER TO THE
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS SECTION FOR PROPER ANTI-TIP BRACKET INSTALLATION.

• Never leave children alone or unattended in the area where an appliance is in use. Children should never be
allowed to sit or stand on any part of this appliance. Never leave the oven door open when the range is
unattended.

• Do not store items of interest to children in the cabinets above a range or on the backgaurd of a range.
Children climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously injured.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION (cont’d)

3

• Do not allow children to climb or play around the
range. The weight of a child on an open oven door may
cause the range to tip, resulting in serious burns or
other injury.

• USER SERVICING: Do not repair or replace any
part of the appliance unless specifically recommended
in this owner’s guide. All other servicing should be
done only by a qualified technician. This will reduce
the risk of personal injury and damage to the range.

WARNING: The following situations could result in property damage or bodily harm

• Do not touch surface burners, areas near the burners,
oven burners, or interior surfaces of the oven. Both
surface burners and oven burners may be hot even
though the flame is not visible. Areas near surface
burners may become hot enough to cause burns.
During and after use, do not touch or let clothing or
other flammable materials touch these areas until they
have had sufficient time to cool. Among these areas
are the cooktop, surfaces facing the cooktop, the oven
vent openings, and surfaces near these openings, oven
door and windows.

• Never use your appliance to warm or heat the room.
Operating your range without utensils or pans to
absorb the unit’s heat risks damaging the surface,
knobs, and controls.

• Wear proper apparel; lose fitting or hanging
garments should never be worn while using the
appliance. Do not let clothing or other flammable
materials contact surface burners or interior surfaces
of the oven until they have had sufficient time to cool.

• Never modify or alter the construction of the range.
Do not remove leveling legs, panels, wire covers, anti-tip
brackets or any other permanent part of the product.

• When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. Fat or
grease may catch fire if allowed to become too hot.

• Do not use water or flour on grease fires. Smother
the fire with a pan lid, baking soda, or use a dry
chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

• Use only dry potholders; wet or damp potholders on
hot surfaces could result in burns from steam. Do not
let the potholders touch hot heating areas. Do not use
a towel or other bulky cloth instead of potholder.

• Use proper flame size; Adjust flame size so it does not
extend beyond the edge of the cookware. The use of
undersized cookware will expose a portion of the burner
flame and may result in severe burns or direct contact
and ignition of clothing. Also, proper relationship of
cookware to burner will improve efficiency.

• Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven bottom
except as suggested in the cleaning section of this
manual. Improper use of aluminum foil may result in
a fire hazard. Foil may also interfere with heat
circulation and damage the range.

• Placement of oven racks: Always place an oven rack in
the desired location while the oven is cool. If a rack must
be moved when the oven is hot, use potholders and grasp
the rack with both hands to reposition. Do not let
potholders contact hot oven walls. Remove all cookware
from the rack before moving.

• Do not heat unopened food containers. Build-up of
pressure may cause the container to burst and result
in injury.

• Keep the oven vent duct unobstructed. The oven
vent is located along the bottom of the backgaurd.
Touching the surfaces in the vent area when the oven
is being operated may cause severe burns. Also, do
not place plastic or heat-sensitive items on or near the
oven vents. These items could melt or ignite.

• The range requires fresh air for proper burner
combustion. Do not block the flow of air around the
base or beneath the lower front panel of the range.

• Use care when operating oven door; Stand to the
side of the oven when opening the oven door. Slowly
open the door to allow hot air or steam to escape
before removing or replacing food.

• Know which knob controls each burner. Place a pan
of food on the burner before turning it on, and turn
the burner off before removing the pan. Always turn
to the full LITE position when igniting the top
burners. Then adjust the flame size so it does not
extend beyond the edge of the cookware.

• Cookware handles should be turned inward and not
extend over adjacent surface burners, to reduce the risk
of burns, ignition of flammable materials, and spillage
due to unintentional contact with the cookware.

• Never leave the surface burners unattended.
Boil-over may cause smoking and greasy spills may
catch fire or a pan which has boiled dry may melt.

• Do not place hands between the spring tension hinge
and the oven door frame when you are removing the
oven door. You could pinch your fingers.

• Storage in or on appliance: Flammable materials
should not be stored in an oven, near surface burners,
or in the broiler section. This includes paper, plastic
and cloth items, such as cookbooks, plasticware and
towels, as well as flammable liquids.

Do not use the oven for storage. Do not store
explosives, such as aerosol cans, on or near the range.

• Remove the oven door from any unused range if it
is to be stored or discarded.

• Stepping, leaning, or sitting on the doors or broiler
section of this range can result in serious injuries and
can cause damage to the range.

IMPORTANT SAFEGAURDS

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION (cont’d)

4

IMPORTANT SAFEGAURDS

• Do not use the broiler pan without its insert. The broiler pan and its insert allow dripping fat or grease to
drain and be kept away from the high heat of the broiler. Do not cover the insert with foil. Exposed fat or
grease could ignite.

• Do not touch a hot oven light bulb with a damp cloth, as it could break. Disconnect the electrical service
cord or shut off the power to the oven before removing and replacing the bulb.

• Allow parts to cool to room temperature before touching or removing them from the range. When a surface
burner is first turned off, the burner and grate are hot enough to cause burns.

• Clean the range regularly to keep all parts free of fat or grease which could catch fire. Pay particular
attention to the area underneath each surface burner. Exhaust fan ventilating hoods and grease filters should be
cleaned regularly. Do not allow fat or grease to accumulate. Greasy deposits in the fan could catch fire. Refer
to the hood manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning.

• Glazed Cookware: Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed
cookwares are suitable for rangetop service without breaking, due to the sudden change in temperature. Check
the cookware manufacturer’s recommendations for rangetop use.

• Do not place plastic salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders, or plastic wrappings on top of the range. These items
could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels, or wooden spoons could catch fire if placed too close to the flame.

• Do not use a wok equipped with a metal ring that extends beyond the burner. Because this ring traps heat,
the burner and grate could be damaged. Also, the burner may not work properly, creating a carbon monoxide
level above current health standards.

• Do not clean the oven door gasket. The door gasket is essentially for a good seal. Care should be taken not to
rub, damage, or move the gasket.

• Flexible Connectors: If the gas range/oven is connected to a gas supply with a metal flexible connector,
move the range/oven with CAUTION for service or cleaning. Flexible connectors are not intended for
repeated bending. Do not allow cleaners to make contact with flexible connectors.
The connector and its fittings are designed for use only on the original installation and are not to be reused for
another appliance or at another location.

• It is good practice for each household to have an appropriate fire extinguisher for use in the event of a house fire.

• Disconnect the range from electrical supply before attempting to service or move it.
WARNING: Never cover any slots, holes, or passages in the oven bottom, or cover an entire rack with

materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide
poisoning.

NOTE: The instructions appearing in this owner’s guide are not meant to cover every possible condition and
situation that may occur. Common sense and caution must be practiced when operating and maintaining any
appliance.

ENERGY

SAVING TIPS

Surface Cooking:

• Use lids when surface cooking. A lid traps steam and uses it to speed up the cooking process. If you have a
pressure cooker or vegetable steamer, use it. You will save time and cut energy costs.

• Use medium-weight, flat bottomed pans that match the flame size. Choose pans made of metals that conduct
heat well.

• When cooking on a surface burner, use as little water as possible to reduce cooking time.

Oven Cooking:

• Preheat the oven only when a recipe tells you. Put roasts and casseroles into a cold oven, then turn the oven on.

• Opening the oven door often to check on foods wastes energy.

• Use the oven to prepare complete meals. For instance, start a roast, add vegetables when the meat is half­cooked, and then warm rolls or dessert after the main dishes are cooked.

• Thaw frozen foods before cooking. Thawed food requires less cooking energy than frozen food.

• Make it a habit to turn the oven off before removing the cooked food.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

5

Be sure the appliance is properly installed and grounded by a qualified
technician. It is the responsibility of the technician to be certain that your range
is properly installed. Situations caused by improper installation are not covered
under the warranty. Any expenses incurred due to such situations will not be paid
by the manufacturer of the appliance.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of tipping the appliance by abnormal usage

or improper door loading, the appliance must be secured by properly installing
the anti-tip device packed with the appliance. To check if the device is installed
and engaged properly, carefully tip the range forward. The anti-tip device should
engage and prevent the range from tipping over.

If this range is removed for any reason, service or cleaning etc,. it must be
replaced as outlined in the installation instructions, before placing the range back
in operation.

LEVELING A FREE
STANDING RANGE

All free-standing ranges must be level to obtain proper cooking results.
The leveling legs should be screwed into the corner brackets. Place a
level, or a pan or measuring cup partially filled with water, level on oven
rack. Adjust leveling legs until the range is level. The top of the side
panels should be level with countertop or work surface.

IMPORTANT: Be sure to keep the leg levelers. Leveling of the range is
very important.

GAS CONNECTIONS

Have the dealer where you purchased your new range install or recommend a qualified installer. Installation
must conform with local codes. The range should be connected to a supply line with 1/2-inch black iron pipe
or a certified flexible type stove connector. To prevent gas leaks, put an approved sealing compound, which is
resistant to liquefied gases, on all threaded connections.
IMPORTANT: Do not apply pressure directly to the range manifold pipe when tightening supply
connections. The manifold pipe should be held securely at the pressure regulator to prevent twisting. Hold the
pressure regulator with a wrench during the tightening of the connection, or the manifold pipe may be twisted
and split, causing a dangerous leak.

Note: The installation of ranges designed for manufactured (mobile) homes must conform to specific
standards and local codes.Check all piping connections in the unit for leaks. Never use an open flame to check
for gas leaks. It is possible for connections made at the factory to leak due to vibrations encountered in
transportation. Have any suspected leaks repaired before use by a qualified service personnel.

ELECTRICAL

CONNECTIONS

Your range is grounded with a three-conductor (three-prong plug) supply cord which

will ground the range when plugged into a similar grounded wall receptacle.

If the backgaurd of the range has a clock or light, connect the cord from the backgaurd into the special
terminal block located at the top of the main back directly under the backgaurd supply cord.The appliance
must be electrically grounded when installed in accordance with local codes.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

USING YOUR

RANGE

Top Burner Operation:
Note- When boiling food, the highest temperature that can be

reached is the boiling point. When the liquid starts to boil,
decrease the size of the flame until you reach the minimum
flame that will hold the boil. This will save gas. It will also
decrease the possibilty of burning food or boiling over, and
help keep your kitchen cooler. Use stable cookware with flat
bottoms, and always place the cookware on the burner grate
before lighting the burner. Unstable or rounded bottom
cookware will not contact properly with the grate and will
affect the cooking efficiency. Select cookware large enough to
avoid spillovers, but remember, over-sized cookware
(diameters exceeding 8

1

/2”) can cause the range finish to
discolor or chip. Damage caused by oversized cookware, such
as those sometimes used in canning, are not covered under
warranty. The finish has been manufactured to a commercially
acceptable standard and its condition is dependent upon the
care of the user.

Temperature Selection:

It is important to select the proper temperature
setting. Never set the dial to a higher degree than
necessary, with the intention of lowering the setting
at a later time. This will not speed up cooking. It
can cause the oven to cycle slower and cause the
temperature to vary so that cooking results may be
unsatisfactory. Your oven has a temperature range of
250°F ~ 500°F.

6

Top Burner Valves:

The top burner flame size should be adjusted so that it does
not extend beyond the edge of the cookware. As a matter of
safety, it is urged that you comply with these instructions.A
high flame on a surface burner is both inefficient and
unsafe. The flame should always be adjusted so that it is no
larger than the bottom of a pan. Fluctuations in flame size
could be caused by pressure variations, improperly
positioned burners, damage, or debris.

FLAME SIZE TYPE OF COOKING

High

Start most foods; bring water to a boil;
pan-broiling.

Recommended Rack Positions for

Broiling, Baking, and Roasting

Baking:

When baking, follow the recipe instructions. Use correct
ingredients, measure them carefully, and use the correct
type and size cookware suggested in the recipe.
Remember to preheat properly. Avoid frequent opening
of the oven door during preheating and baking. When
baking cakes in glass baking dishes, lower the oven
temperature 25°F to prevent browning of the bottom and
sides before the top becomes brown.Also, when using
glass bakeware, it would be better to increase the preheat
time to have exact stabilization of the oven’s
temperature. To do so, allow 20 minutes time for
temperatures up to 350°F and 30 minutes for
temperatures up to 425°F. Avoid opening the door as
much as possible.

Oven Racks:

The oven racks should be arranged before the oven knob
is turned to an “ON” position. Place the racks so the food
is centered in the oven, not the rack. When more than
one dish is used, be sure to stagger them, allowing space
between each one. Do not allow the dishes to touch any
part of the oven, especially the glass window. It is best to
use two racks and place food so one dish is not directly
over another.

Rack Removal:

Pull the oven rack forward and lift up on the front of the
rack so it will clear the rack keeper. To replace the oven
rack, guide the angled rear portion of the rack under the
rack keeper and slide the rack to the rear. Never cover
the oven racks with aluminum foil. Such practices will
trap heat and cause intense heat in spots which usually
give poor results. It can damage the porcelain finish as
well as glass windows in oven doors.

Preheating:

Heat the oven to the desired temperature before placing
the food in the oven. Preheat for 10 to 12 minutes.

Opening the Oven Door:

Let hot air/steam escape before removing/replacing food.

Arranging Oven Racks:

The oven racks should be arranged before the oven is
turned “ON”. Place the racks so the food is centered in
the oven.

Always turn to the full
LITE position when
igniting the top
burners. Then adjust the
flame size so it does not
extend beyond the edge
of the cookware.
Note: Know which knob
controls each burner.
Place a pan of food on
the burner before turning
it on, and turn the burner
off before removing the
pan.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (cont’d)

Removable Oven Bottom:

First remove the racks from the oven. The oven bottom
lifts from the rear. Grasp each side of the oven bottom
and lift upward from the rear until the bottom is clear.
Lift it to remove from the front. NOTE: If the oven
bottom is replaced incorrectly it may warp and cause
undesireable baking results.

The oven bottom has a porcelain enamel finish. To
make cleaning easier, protect the oven bottom from
excessive spillovers. This is particularly important
when baking a fruit pie or other foods with high acid
content. Hot fruit fillings or foods that are acidic in
content, such as milk, tomato or sauerkraut, and sauces
with vinegar or lemon juice, may cause pitting and
damage to the porcelain enamel surface. To protect the
oven bottom surface, place a piece of aluminum foil
slightly larger than the baking dish on the rack below to
catch any boilovers. It should not completely cover the
rack as this would cause uneven heat in the oven.
Aluminum foil should not be placed on the oven
bottom.
If a spillover does occur on the oven bottom, allow the
oven to cool first. You can clean the bottom with soap
and water, a mild abrasive cleaner, soap-filled abrasive
pads, or an oven cleaner (following package directions).

Broiler Compartment:

The broiler pan is held in place by a wire broiler rack.
To open the broiler, gently lift up and pull forward on
the drop down broiler door. Pull the broiler pan
forward. It will reach a temporary stop position.
Continue to pull forward and the broiler pan will pull
out to expose the entire broiler grill surface. Remove
the broiler pan from the broiler rack by lifting up on
the front of the broiler pan so it will clear the wire rack.
Then pull forward slightly and use both hands to lift the
pan free of the rack. To return the pan to the broiler
rack, pull the wire rack out to the stop position. Insert
the pan into the recessed section of the broiler rack.
Slide the pan in place under the pan retainers. Push the
pan to the rear of the broiler compartment. Close the
broiler door.

USING YOUR

RANGE (cont’d)

Economy Broiler:

Your range may be equipped with this optional broiler.
The outward appearance of the range will be the same. To
open the broiler door, lift handle up slightly to release the
door catch and then lower the door. In the broiler section
there are two positions of stamped-in oven rack guides
and a broiler pan and grill. When you want to broil, take
one of the oven racks and insert it into the rack guide
position. Next, place the broiler pan and grill on the oven
rack for broiling.

Broiling:(Broiler Pan NOT INCLUDED)

Preheat the broiler area and broil pan for a few
minutes. No definite time can be given for broiling
meats because of varying thickness, amounts of fat, and
personal taste. Be careful when handling hot broiler
pans; be careful of hot grease. Serious injury can result
due to spillage of hot grease. Never leave a dirty broil
pan in place; always clean it and return it to the burner
assembly. Unauthorized broil pan substitutes should
never be used. Excess fat should be trimmed to reduce
the possibility of flame up. The meat could be ruined or
fire could occur causing loss of property and bodily
injury. When broiling fatty meats, the lowest broil must
be used; however, we recommend the lowest position at
all times. Always broil with the oven door closed. When
broiling is completed, turn the dial to OFF and remove
the broil pan temporarily for cleaning.
Do not use broiler area for storage of cookware.

Air Circulation in the Oven:

• To cook food evenly, hot air must be able to circulate.

• For best air circulation and baking results allow two
inches of space around bake ware and be sure pans and
bake ware do not touch each other, the oven door, sides
or back of the oven cavity.

• The hot air must circulate around the pans and bake
ware in the oven for even heat to reach around the food.

NO. OF PANS POSITION ON RACK

1 Center of rack
2 Side by side or slightly staggered

3 or 4

Opposite corners on each rack.
Make sure no bakeware piece is
directly over another.

unit slightly at the front and pull out away from the
wall.

• Pull only as far as necessary to disconnect the gas
and electrical supply.

• Finish removing the unit for servicing and cleaning.

• Reinstall in reverse order making sure to level the
range and check gas connections for leaks.

• See Anti-Tip Instructions for proper anchoring
instructions.

Control Panel and Knobs:

• Before cleaning the control panel be sure that the
knobs are in the OFF position. Clean with a soft cloth
and warm soapy water. Remove residues and dry
carefully; excess water in and around the controls
may damage the stove.

• The control knobs may be removed for easier cleaning.
To remove, pull them straight off the stem. Clean with
soft cloth and warm soapy water; rinse well.

• To replace knobs after cleaning, connect the flat side
of the knob cavity to the control rod and press against
the knob to reconnect.

Oven Racks:

• To make the racks slide more easily you may apply a
small amount of vegetable oil or cooking oil to a paper
towel and wipe the edges of the racks with it.

• Remove broiler pan from oven after broiling and
carefully pour out the grease from the pan into a
proper container.

• Wash and rinse the broiler pan using hot water and a
soap-filled scouring pad.

• If food has burned on, sprinkle with detergent
while it is hot and cover it with wet paper towels or a
dishcloth. Soaking the pan will remove burned-on food.

• Do not use commercial oven cleaners, cleaning
powders, steel wool pads or harsh abrasives on any
surfaces. Vinegar and water solution may be used.

CARE AND CLEANING (cont’d)

CLEANING THE CONTOURED WELL AREAS,
BURNER CAPS, AND BURNER HEADS

The contoured well areas, burner caps and burner
heads should be routinely cleaned. Keeping the burner
ports clean will prevent improper ignition and an
uneven flame.
To clean the recessed and contoured areas of the cook-top:

• If a spill occurs on or in the recessed or contoured
areas, blot up spill with an absorbent cloth. Rinse with
a clean, damp cloth and wipe dry.

To remove and replace the surface burner caps and
surface burner heads, remove in the following order:

1) Surface burner grates

2) Surface burner caps, and

3) Surface burner heads

• Reverse the procedure above to replace the surface
burner caps and surface burner heads.

• Use a soap-filled scouring pad or a mild abrasive
cleanser to clean the surface burner caps and surface
burner heads. The ports or slots around the burner head
must be routinely cleaned. If residue still remains in
these ports, use a small-gauge wire or needle to clean
the slots or holes.

• For proper flow of gas and ignition of the burner do
not allow spills, food, cleaning agents or any other
material to enter the gas orifice holder opening.
Always keep the surface burner cap and surface burner
head in place whenever a surface burner is in use.

THE COOK-TOP IS NOT REMOVABLE. DO NOT
ATTEMPT TO REMOVE OR LIFT THE COOK-TOP.

Oven Surface:

• Be sure to wear rubber gloves to protect your hands.

• Do not use oven cleaners, cleaning powders, steel
wool pads, synthetic fiber pads, or any other
materials that may damage the surface finishing.

• If any acid, grease, sugar, etc. spills on surfaces while
they are hot, use a dry paper towl or soft cloth to wipe it
up right away. When the surface has cooled, clean with
soft cloth and warm soapy water; rinse well.

• You may also use a solution of vinegar and water to
clean the oven surface. Use vinegar to remove hard
stains (white stains).

TROUBLESHOOTING

10

PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION

1) Surface burners do

not light

• Surface Control knob has not been
completely turned.

• Burner ports are clogged.

• Range power cord is disconnected from
outlet.

• Electrical power outage.

• Push in and turn the Surface Control
knob until burner ignites and then turn
control knob to desired flame size.

• With the burner off, use a small-gauge
wire or needle to clean ports.

• Be sure cord is securely plugged into
the outlet.

• Burners can be lit manually. Check
house lights to be sure. Call your local
electric company for service.

2) Surface burner
flame burns half way
around

• Burner ports are clogged.

• Moisture is present after cleaning.

• With the burner off, use a small-gauge
wire or needle to clean ports.

• Lightly fan the flame and allow burner
to operate until flame is full. Dry the
burners thoroughly.

3) Surface burner
flame is orange

• Dust particles in main line.

• In coastal areas, a slightly orange flame
is unavoidable due to salt air.

• Allow the burner to operate a few
minutes until flame turns blue.

• This is normal; no action necessary.

4) Poor baking results.

• Many factors affect baking results.

• Be sure regulator gas valve is “ON”.

• Make sure the proper rack position is
used. Center food in the oven and space
pans to allow air to circulate. Allow the
oven to preheat to the set temperature
before placing food in the oven. Try
adjusting the recipes recommended temp.
or baking time

.

• See Installation Instructions.

5) Flames inside oven
or smoking from vent

• Your oven will most likely smoke after
a spillover has occurred.

• This is normal, especially for high oven
temperatures, pie spillovers or large
amounts of grease on oven bottom. Wipe
up excessive spillovers immediately.

6) Oven smokes
excessively during
broiling

• Meat too close to the broil burner.

• Meat not properly prepared.

• Broiler drawer needs to be cleaned.

• Broiler drawer is open.

• Reposition the rack to provide more
clearance between the meat and the broiler.

• Remove excess fat from meat. Slash
remaining fatty edges to prevent curling,
but do not cut into the lean.

• Excessive smoking is caused by a build up
of grease or food spatters. If the broiler is
used often, clean on a regular basis.

• Broiler door should be closed when
broiling.

7) Oven door is
crooked

• The door is out of position.

• Because the oven door is removable, it
can become out of position during
installation. To straighten the door, see
“Care and Cleaning” in this manual.

8) Oven light does not
work

• Replace or tighten bulb.

• Switch operating light is broken.

• See “Care and Cleaning” in this manual.

INFORMACION IMPORTANTES DE SEGURIDAD

ANTES DE

UTILIZA PRIMERO

24

No almacene ni utilice gasolina ni otros líquidos o gases inflamables alrededor de este o cualquier otro aparato.

QUÉ HACER SI HUELE A GAS:

• No intente encender ningún aparato.

• No toque ningún interruptor eléctrico; no utilice ningún teléfono de la casa.

• Llame de inmediato a la compañía de gas desde el teléfono de un vecino. Siga las instrucciones de la
compañía de gas.
Las tareas de instalación y mantenimiento debe realizarlas un técnico calificado, o bien un técnico de
reparaciones o de la compañía de gas.

• Antes de usar el horno, quítele toda la cinta y el material de empaque. Si quedan residuos de pegamento, elimínelos
con el lado adhesivo de la cinta del empaque, o use un paño empapado en alcohol de frotación. Tenga cuidado; el
alcohol de frotación es inflamable. Enjuague la superficie con agua tibia y séquela con una toalla.

• Luego de desempacar la cocina, destruya la caja de cartón y las bolsas de plástico. Los niños no deben usar
el material de empaque para jugar. Las cajas de cartón que vienen cubiertas con mantas, colchas o láminas de
plástico pueden convertirse en cámaras herméticas. Quítele todas las grapas a la caja de cartón. Las grapas
pueden ocasionar heridas graves y dañar el acabado de los aparatos o muebles con los que entre en contacto.

• Actúe pensando en su seguridad. La preparación de alimentos en el horno requiere de temperaturas que
pueden provocar quemaduras graves. Antes de usar este aparato o cualquier aparato nuevo, lea detenidamente
y siga todas las instrucciones.

INSTALLACIÓN

• Instalación adecuada: Cerciórese de que el aparato ha sido bien instalado y puesto a tierra por un técnico
calificado de acuerdo con la última edición de la Normativa nacional de gas combustible ANSI Z223 o, en
Canadá, CAN/CGA B149.1 y CAN/CGA B149.2, y la última edición de la Normativa nacional eléctrica
ANSI/NFPA n.º 70, o en Canadá, CSA Standard C22.1, Normativa eléctrica canadiense, parte 1, y los requisitos
normativos locales. Lleve a cabo la instalación siguiendo exclusivamente las instrucciones de instalación incluidas
en la documentación de esta cocina. Verifique que las patas niveladoras estén bien colocadas en las esquinas
inferiores de la cocina. Si es necesario, regule la altura de las patas niveladoras ubicadas en la base de la cocina,
girándolas hacia la izquierda o la derecha, para asegurar que la cocina quede bien nivelada.

• Pida a su distribuidor que le recomiende un técnico calificado y un servicio de reparaciones autorizado. Pida
al técnico que le muestre dónde se encuentran la válvula de desconexión manual del gas y el medidor de gas,
por si necesita cortar el suministro de gas durante una emergencia.

ADVERTENCIA: Si no procede de acuerdo con las instrucciones acerca de las siguientes

situaciones, se pueden producir daños materiales, lesiones o la muerte.

• PARA REDUCIR EL RIESGO DE VUELCO, LA COCINA DEBE ESTAR BIEN SUJETA CON EL
SOPORTE ANTIVUELCO PROVISTO DEBIDAMENTE INSTALADO. PARA COMPROBAR SI EL
DISPOSITIVO ESTÁ CORRECTAMENTE INSTALADO Y SUJETO, INCLINE UN POCO LA COCINA,
CON MUCHO CUIDADO, HACIA ADELANTE. EL DISPOSITIVO ANTIVUELCO DEBE QUEDAR
SUJETO E IMPEDIR QUE LA COCINA SE VUELQUE. CONSULTE LAS INSTRUCCIONES DE
INSTALACIÓN DEL SOPORTE ANTIVUELCO PARA MONTARLO ADECUADAMENTE.

• No deje solos a los niños: Los niños no deben quedarse solos o sin vigilancia en la zona en que se utiliza el
aparato. Nunca hay que permitirles sentarse o ponerse de pie sobre ninguna parte del aparato.

• No guarde objetos que atraigan a los niños en los armarios situados encima de la cocina o en la protección
trasera de la misma. Si los niños se suben a la cocina para llegar a esos objetos, pueden sufrir lesiones
importantes.

INFORMACION IMPORTANTES DE SEGURIDAD (cont’d)

25

• No permita a los niños trepar a la cocina ni jugar
alrededor de la misma. El peso de un niño sobre la puerta
abierta del horno puede provocar que la cocina se vuelque
y se produzcan quemaduras o lesiones graves.

• MANTENIMIENTO POR EL USUARIO : No
repare ni cambie ninguna pieza de este aparato, salvo que
específicamente se recomiende hacerlo en esta guía del
propietario. Todas las reparaciones o mantenimientos los
debe realizar un técnico calificado. Esto disminuirá el
riesgo de lesiones a las personas y daños a la cocina.

ADVERTENCIA: Las siguientes situaciones pueden resultar en daños materiales o lesiones

• No toque los quemadores, las zonas proximas a éstos ni
las superficies interiores del horno. Tanto los quemadores
como los quemadores del horno pueden estar calientes
aunque no se vean llamas. Las zonas cercanas a los
quemadores pueden calentarse y provocar quemaduras.
Durante el uso y después del mismo, no toque, ni deje que
ninguna ropa u otros materiales inflamables toquen,
ninguna de esas zonas, hasta que hayan tenido tiempo
suficiente para enfriarse. Entre estas zonas está la
encimera de la cocina, las superficies contiguas a la
misma, las aberturas de ventilación del horno y las

• Nunca utilice esta estufa para calentar ningún aposento.
El hacerlo puede causar envenenamiento por monóxido
de carbono y sobrecalentar el horno.

• Use ropa apropiada; nunca debe llevar prendas holgadas
o que cuelguen mientras usa esta aparato. No deje que la
ropa y otros materiales inflamables hagan contacto con las
resistencias o las superficies interiores del horno, hasta
que las mismas hayan tenido tiempo suficiente para
enfriarse.

• Nunca modifique ni altere la estructura de la cocina. No
quite las patas niveladoras, los paneles, las cubiertas de
los cables, los soportes antivuelco ni ninguna otra pieza
instalada permanentemente en el producto.

• Al calentar grasa o aceite, vigílelos de cerca. La grasa o
el aceite se pueden incendiar si se calientan demasiado.

• No utilice agua ni harina si se incendia el aceite: sofoque
el fuego con la tapa de una olla, o bien utilice bicarbonato
o un extintor de espuma.

•Utilice únicamente agarradores secos: el uso de
agarradores húmedos o mojados en superficies calientes
puede provocar quemaduras a causa del vapor. Tenga
cuidado de no tocar los quemadores con los agarradores.
No utilice ninguna toalla ni trapos gruesos en lugar de los
agarradores.

• Utilice una llama de tamaño adecuado: ajuste el tamaño
de la llama de forma que no sobresalga de los bordes del
utensilio. El uso de utensilios demasiado pequeños dejará
un parte de la llama del quemador expuesta al contacto
directo, y puede quemar la ropa. La coincidencia de
tamaño de los utensilios con la llama mejora además la
eficiencia.

• No use papel de aluminio para cubrir el fondo del
horno, salvo en la manera que se sugiere en la sección
de limpieza de este manual. El uso inadecuado del
papel de aluminio puede implicar un peligro de
incendio.

Además, el papel puede afectar la circulación del
calor y dañar la cocina.

• Colocación de bandejas en el horno: coloque siempre las
bandejas en la ubicación deseada con el horno frío. Si
tiene que mover una bandeja con el horno caliente, tenga
mucho cuidado. Utilice agarradores y sujete la bandeja
con las dos manos para recolocarla. Retire todos los
utensilios de la bandeja antes de sacarla.

• No caliente recipientes de comida cerrados: el aumento
de la presión puede hacer que el recipiente estalle y causar
lesiones.

• No obstruya los conductos de ventilación del horno: la
ventilación del horno se encuentra debajo de la protección
trasera. Si se tocan las superficies de esta zona cuando el
horno está en marcha, pueden producirse quemaduras.
Asimismo, no ponga objetos de plástico o sensibles al
calor sobre la ventilación del horno ni cerca de la misma,
ya que podrían fundirse o arder.

• La cocina necesita una buena circulación de aire para
lograr la combustión adecuada en los quemadores. No
obstruya el flujo de aire alrededor de la base ni debajo del
panel delantero inferior de la cocina.

• Tenga cuidado al abrir la puerta del horno o el cajón de
calentamiento: póngase al lado de la cocina para abrir la
puerta del horno caliente. Deje que salga el aire caliente o
el vapor antes de sacar alimentos del horno o meterlos.

• Sepa qué mando controla cada quemador. Coloque una
olla o sartén con alimentos sobre el quemador antes de
encenderlo, y apáguelo antes de quitar el utensilio. Gire y
presione siempre el mando hasta encender los
quemadores. Compruebe visualmente que se ha
encendido el quemador. Ajuste la llama de forma que no
sobresalga de los bordes del utensilio.

• Los mangos de los utensilios se deben girar hacia
dentro, y no quedar por encima de los quemadores
adyacentes: para reducir el riesgo de quemaduras, la
ignición de materiales inflamables y los derrames debidos
al contacto involuntario con el utensilio, el mango de los
utensilios deben quedar hacia dentro, y que no
sobresalgan por encima de los quemadores adyacentes.

• Nunca deje los quemadores a fuego fuerte sin vigilancia:
al hervir los líquidos, pueden desbordarse y provocar
humo y manchas de aceite que pueden arder, o una olla
que se haya quedado sin líquido puede fundirse.

• Cuando vaya a quitar la puerta del horno, no meta las
manos entre la bisagra a resorte y el marco de la puerta.
Sus dedos podrían quedar atrapados.

• Almacenamiento dentro o encima del aparato: no se
deben guardar materiales inflamables en el interior del
horno, en el cajón de calentamiento ni cerca de los
quemadores. Ello incluye objetos de papel, plástico y
tela, como libros de cocina, utensilios de plástico y
trapos, así como líquidos inflamables. No guarde
explosivos, como botes de aerosol, encima ni cerca de la
cocina.

• Quítele la puerta del horno a toda cocina que vaya a
guardar o a desechar.

• El pararse, recostarse o sentarse en las puertas o en la
zona del asador de esta cocina puede ocasionar lesiones
graves y daños a la cocina.
