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.
c
Do not touch any electrical switch; do
not use any phone in your building.
●
Immediately call your gas supplier from

ORTANT
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.
● Gas appliances can cause minor exposure
to four of these substances, namely benzene,
carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused
primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural
gas or LP fuels. Properly adjusted burners,
indicated by a bluish rather than a yellow flame,
will minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure
to these substances can be minimized further by
venting with an open window or using a
ventilation fan or hood.
When You Get Your Oven
c
Have the installer show you the location of
the oven gas cut-off valve and how to shut it
off if necessary.
●
Lve
your oven installed and properly
grounded by a qualified installer,
in accordance
with the Installation Instructions. Any adjustment
and service should be performed only by qualified
gas range installers or service technicians.
●
Do not attempt to repair or replace any
part of your oven unless it is specifically
recommended in this guide.
All other servicing
should be referred to a qualified technician.
●
Be sure all packaging materials are removed
from the oven
before operating it, to prevent fire
or smoke damage should the packaging material
ignite.
●
Do not touch the interior surface of the oven.
These surfaces may be hot enough to burn even
though they are dark in color. During and after
use, do not touch, or let clothing or other
flammable materials contact surface units, areas
nearby surface units or any interior area of the
oven; allow sufficient time for cooling, first.
Potentially hot surfaces include the oven vent
openings, surfaces near the opening and crevices
md
the door.
Remember:
The inside surfaces of an oven may
be hot when the door is opened.
. Be sure your oven is correctly adjusted by a
qualified service technician or
instalier
for the
type of gas (Natural or LP) on which it is to be
used.
Your oven can be converted for use on
either type of gas. See the Installation
Instructions.
WARNING:
These adjustments must be made
by a qualified service technician in accordance
with the manufacturer’s instructions and all codes
and requirements of the authority having
jurisdiction. Failure to follow these instructions
could result in serious injury or property damage.
The qualified agency performing this work
assumes responsibility for the conversion.
●
Be sure the oven is securely installed in a
cabinet that is firmly attached to the house
structure.
Never allow anyone to climb, sit, stand
or hang on the oven door.
Using Your Oven
c
Do not leave children alone or unattended
where an oven is hot or in operation.
They
could be seriously burned.
●
Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang
on the door or the storage drawer.
They could
damage the oven.
●
CAUTION: ITEMS OF INTEREST TO

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
(continued)
● Use only dry pot holders—moist or
damp pot holders on hot surfaces may
result in burns from steam. Do not let
pot holders come near open flames when lifting
cookware. Do not use a towel or other bulky
cloth. Such cloths can catch fire on a hot burner.
●
Always keep dish towels, dish cloths, pot
holders and other linens a safe distance from
your oven.
“
Always keep wooden and plastic utensils and
canned food a safe distance away from your oven.
●
Do not use water on grease fires,
Smother
fire
or flame or use a multipurpose dry chemical or foam-type
fire extinguisher.
Flame in the oven can be smothered completely
by closing the oven door and turning the oven
off or by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or
foam-type fire extinguisher.
●
Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils
or food in the oven when not in use.
●
DO NOT STORE OR USE COMBUSTIBLE
MATERIALS, GASOLINE OR OTHER
FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND LIQUIDS
IN THE VICINITY OF THIS OR ANY
OTHER APPLIANCE.
●
Do not let cooking grease or other flammable
materials accumulate in or near the oven.
●
Do not use the oven as a storage area.
●
When cooking pork,
follow the directions exactly
and always cook the meat to an internal temperature
of at least
170°F.
This assures that, in the remote
possibility that trichina may be present in the meat,
it will be killed and meat will be safe to eat.
●
Stand away from oven when opening the oven
door.
The hot air or steam which escapes can burn
hands, face
andlor
eyes.
●
Do not heat unopened food containers.
Pressure could build up and the container could
burst, causing an injury.
●
Place the oven shelf in the desired position
while the oven is cool.
●
Pulling out the shelf to the shelf stop is a
convenience in lifting heavy foods.
It is also
a precaution against burns from touching the
hot surfaces of the door or the oven walls.
4
●
Keep the oven vent ducts unobstructed.
●
Keep the oven free from grease buildup.
“
When using cooking or roasting bags in the
oven,
follow the manufacturer’s directions.
●
Do not use your oven to dry newspapers.
If overheated, they can catch fire.
●
Do not use aluminum foil anywhere in the oven
except as described in this guide.
Misuse could
result in a fire hazard or damage to the oven.
●
Use only glass cookware that is recommended
for use in gas ovens.
●
After broiling,
always take the broiler pan out of
the oven and clean it. Leftover grease in the broiler
pan can catch fire next time you use the pan.
●
When broiling,
if meat is too close to the flame,
the fat may ignite. Trim excess fat to prevent
excessive flare-ups.
●
Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings on
or near your oven.
●
Make sure the broiler pan is in place correctly
to
reduce the possibility of grease fires.
—.
●
If you should have a grease fire in the broiler
pan,
turn the oven off, and keep the oven door
closed to contain the fire until it burns out.
Self-Cleaning Oven
●
Do not clean the door gasket.
The door gasket
is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken
not to rub, damage or move the gasket.
●
Do not use oven cleaners. No
commercial oven
cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind
should be used in or around any part of the oven.
Residue from oven cleaners will damage the inside
of the oven when the self clean cycle is used.
●
Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the
broiler pan, rack and other utensils.
●
Be sure to wipe up excess spillage before
starting the self-cleaning operation.
●
Clean only parts listed in this Use and Care Guide.
Q
If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions,
turn the
oven off and disconnect the power supply. Have it
serviced by a qualified technician.

USING YOUR OVEN
Before Using Your Oven
1.
Look at the controls. Be sure you understand how to
set them properly. Read over the directions for the
Oven Controls so you understand how to use them.
2.
Check the inside of the oven. Look at the shelves.
Take a practice run at removing and replacing them
properly, to give sure, sturdy support.
3.
Read over the information and tips that follow.
4.
Keep this guide handy so you can refer to it, especially
during the first weeks of using your new oven.
NOTE:
● A fan may automatically turn on and off to cool
internal parts. This is normal and the fan may
continue to run even after the oven is turned off.

The vent area could get hot during oven use.
NOTE: A fan may automatically turn on and off
to cool internal parts. This is normal and the fan may
continue to run even after the oven is turned off.
Oven Shelves
The shelves are designed with stop-locks so when
placed correctly on the shelf supports, they will
stop before coming completely out of the oven and
will not tilt when you are removing food from them
or placing food on them.
When placing cookware on a shelf, pull the shelf out
to the “stop” position. Place the cookware on the
shelf, then slide the shelf back into the oven. This will
eliminate reaching into the hot oven.
