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.

Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon

and

monoxide, formaldehyde

soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas or

fuels. Properly adjusted burners, indicated by a bluish rather than a yellow flame, will minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized by venting with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood.

When You at Your Range

Have your range 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.

● Plug your range into a 120-volt grounded

outlet only. Do not remove the round grounding prong from the plug. If in doubt about the grounding of the home electrical system, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have an ungrounded outlet replaced with a properly grounded, prong outlet in accordance with the National Electrical Code. In Canada, the appliance must be electrically grounded in accordance with the Canadian Electrical Code. Do not use an extension cord with this appliance.

● Be sure au packing materbds are removed from

the range before operating it to prevent fire or smoke damage should the packing material ignite.

● Locate range out of kitchen traffic path

Do not use a wok on models with sealed burners

if the wok has a round metal ring that is placed over the burner grate to support the wok. This ring acts as a heat trap, which may damage the burner grate and burner head. Also, it may cause the burner to work improperly. This may cause a carbon monoxide level above that allowed by current standards, resulting in a health hazard.

Foods for frying should be as dry as possible.

Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and over sides of pan.

To avoid the possibility of a burn, always be

certain that the controls for all burners are at the OFF position and all grates are cool before attempting to remove them.

● When flaming foods are under the hood, turn

the fan off. The fan, if operating, may spread the flames.

If range is located near a window, do not hang

long curtains that could blow over the top burners and create a fire hazard.

●

If you smell gas, turn off the gas to the range and

call a qualified service technician. Never use an open flame to locate a leak.

. Use only glass cookware that is recommended

for use in gas ovens.

● Always remove broiler pan from oven as soon

as you finish broiling. Grease left in the pan can catch fire if oven is used without removing the grease from the broiler pan.

● When broiling, if meat is too close to the flame,

the fat may ignite. Trim excess fat to prevent excessive flare-ups.

● Make sure 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 off oven, and keep oven door closed to contain fire until it burns out.

After Lighting a Burner

● Check to be sure the burner you turned on is the one

● Do not operate a burner for an extended period

● Be sure the burners and grates are cool before you

place your hand, a pot holder, cleaning cloths or other materials on them.

How to Select Flame Size

Watch the flame, not the knob, as you reduce heat. The flame size on a gas burner should match the

cookware you are using. FOR SAFE HANDLING OF

COOKWARE NEVER LET THE FLAME EXTEND UP THE SIDES OF THE COOKWARE. Any flame larger than the bottom of the cookware is wasted and only serves to heat the handle.

When using aluminum or aluminum-clad stainless steel pots and pans, adjust the flame so the circle it makes is about 1/2 inch smaller than the bottom of the cookware.

Top-of-Range Cookware

Aluminum: Medium-weight cookware is recommended because it heats quickly and evenly. Most foods brown evenly in an aluminum skillet. Use saucepans with tight-fitting lids when cooking with minimum amounts of water.

Cast-Iron: If heated slowly, most skillets will give satisfactory results.

Enamelware: Under some conditions, the enamel of

fo;

top-of-range cooking

When boiling, use this same flame size—1/2 inch smaller than the bottom of the cookware-no matter

what the cookware

made of. Foods cook just as quickly at a gentle boil as they do at a furious, rolling boil. A high boil creates steam and cooks away moisture, flavor and nutrition. Avoid it except for the few cooking processes that need a vigorous boil.

When frying or warming foods in stainless steel, cast iron or enamelware, keep the flame down lower—to about 1/2 the diameter of the pan.

When frying

glass or ceramic cookware, lower

the flame even more.

Heatproof Glass Ceramic: Can be used for either surface or oven cooking. It conducts heat very

slowly and cools very slowly. Check cookware

Wok Cooking

(on models with sealed burners)

● We recommend that you

use only a flat-bottomed wok. They are available at your local retail store.

● Do not use woks that have

support rings. Use of these types of woks, with or without the ring in place, can be dangerous. Placing the ring over the burner grate may cause the burner to work improperly resulting in carbon monoxide levels above allowable current standards. This could be dangerous to your health. Do not try to use such woks without the ring. You could be seriously burned if the wok tipped over.

!~~& ,:i:/;:

~~!”;’:”

Use of Stove

(on models with seal;d burners)

not use stove top grills

on your sealed gas burners. If you use the stove top grill on the sealed gas burner it will cause incomplete combustion and can result in exposure to carbon monoxide levels above allowable current standards. This can be hazardous to your health.

Metal items will become very hot if they are left

on the cooktop and could cause burns.

Do not leave any items on the cooktop. The hot air

from the vent may ignite flammable items and will increase pressure in closed containers, which may cause them to burst.

Oven Light

The oven light comes on automatically when the door is opened. Some models have a switch on the lower control panel that allows you to turn the light on or off when the door is closed.

Adjusting Oven

When cooking a food for the first time in your new oven, use time given on recipes as a guide. Oven thermostats, over a period of years, may “drift” from the factory setting, and differences in timing between an old and a new oven of 5 to 10 minutes are not unusual. You may be inclined to think that the new oven is not performing correctly; however, your new oven has been set correctly at the factory and is more likely to be accurate than the oven it replaced.

If you think the oven should be hotter or cooler, you can adjust it yourself. To decide how much to change the thermostat, set the oven temperature or lower than the temperature in your recipe, then bake. The results of this “test” should give you an idea of how much the thermostat should be changed.

(continued)

Arrange the oven shelf or shelves in the desired locations while

the oven is cool. The correct shelf position depends on the kind of food and the browning desired. As a general rule, place most foods in the middle of the oven, on either the second or third shelf from the bottom. See the chart for suggested shelf positions.

Preheating

Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it. Preheat means bringing the oven up to the specified temperature before putting in the food. To preheat, the oven at the correct temperature—selecting a higher temperature does not shorten preheat time.

Baking Pans

Use the proper baking pan. The type of finish on the pan determines the amount of browning that will occur.

● Dark, rough or dull pans absorb heat resulting in a

browner, crisper crust. Use this type for pies.

● Shiny, bright and smooth pans reflect heat, resulting

in a lighter, more delicate browning. Cakes and cookies require this type of pan.

● Glass baking dishes also absorb heat. When baking

in glass baking dishes, lower the temperature by

25°F.

and use the recommended cooking time in the recipe. This is not necessary when baking pies or casseroles.

Pan Placement

For even cooking and proper browning, there must be enough room for air circulation in the oven. Baking results will be better if baking pans are centered as much as possible rather than being placed to the front or to the back of the oven.

Pans should not touch each other or the walls of the oven. Allow 1 to as from the back of the oven, the door and the sides. If you use two shelves, stagger the pans so one is not directly above the other.

Baking Guides

When using prepared baking mixes, follow package recipe or instructions for best baking results.

When baking cookies, flat cookie sheets (without

sides) produce better-looking cookies. Cookies baked in a jelly roll pan (short sides all around) may have darker edges and pale or light browning may occur.

Do not use a cookie sheet so large that it touches the walls or the door of the oven.

For best results, use only one cookie sheet in the oven at a time.

ROAST~G

Do not lock the oven door with the door latch

during roasting. This is used for self-cleaning only.

Roasting is cooking by dry heat. Tender meat or poultry can be roasted uncovered in your oven. Roasting temperatures, which should be low and steady, keep spattering to a minimum.

The oven has a special low shelf (R) position

just above the oven

bottom. Use it when extra cooking space is needed, for example, when roasting a large turkey. The shelf is not designed to slide out at this position.

Roasting is really a baking procedure used for meats. Therefore, oven controls are set for BAKE. (You may hear a slight clicking sound,

indicating the oven is working properly.) Roasting

sooner (at 5° to Roasting Guide).

NOTE: You may wish to TIME BAKE, as described in the Baking section of this book, to turn oven on and off automatically.

Remember that food will continue to cook in the hot oven and therefore should be removed when the desired internal temperature has been reached.

For Frozen Roasti

● Frozen roasts of beef, pork, lamb, etc., can be started

without thawing, but allow 10 to 25 minutes per pound additional time (10 minutes per pound for roasts under 5 pounds, more time for larger roasts).

● Thaw most frozen poultry before roasting to ensure

even doneness. Some commercial frozen poultry can be cooked successfully without thawing. Follow directions given on package label.

Dual Shelf Cooking

This allows more than one food to be cooked at the same time. For example: While roasting a 20 lb. turkey on shelf (R) a second shelf maybe added on position D so that scalloped potatoes can be cooked at the same time. Calculate the total cooking time to enable both dishes to complete cooking at the same time. Allow 15-20 minutes of additional cooking time for the potatoes.

Page 19

Questions and Answers

Q. Is it necessary to check for doneness with a

meat thermometer?

A. Checking the finished internal temperature at the

completion of cooking time is recommended. Temperatures are shown in Roasting Guide. For roasts over 8 lbs., check with thermometer at

half-

hour intervals after half the time has passed.

Q. Why is my roast crumbling when I try to

carve it?

A. Roasts are easier to slice if allowed to cool 10 to

20 minutes after removing from oven. Be sure to cut across the grain of the meat.

ROAST~G GU~E

Q. Do I need to preheat my oven each time I cook a

roast or poultry? A. It is unnecessary to preheat your oven. Q. When buying a roast, are there any special tips

that would help me cook it more evenly? A. Yes. Buy a roast as even in thickness as possible,

or buy rolled roasts. Q. Can I seal the sides of my foil “tent” when

roasting a turkey?

A. Sealing the foil will steam the meat. Leaving it

unsealed allows the air to circulate and brown the meat.

Broiling is cooking food by intense radiant heat from the upper unit in the oven. Most fish and tender cuts of meat can be broiled. Follow these steps to keep spattering and smoking to a minimum.

The oven door should be closed during broiling. Do not lock the oven door with the door latch during broiling. This is used for self-cleaning only.

Step 1: If meat has fat or gristle near edge, cut

vertical slashes through both about 2“ apart. If desired, fat maybe trimmed, leaving layer about

1/8” thick.

Step

Place meat on broiler rack in broiler pan. Always use rack so fat drips into broiler pan; otherwise juices may become hot enough to catch fire.

Use of Aluminum Foil

You can use aluminum foil to line your broiler pan and broiler rack. However, you must mold the foil tightly to the rack and cut slits in it just like the rack.

Without the slits, the foil will prevent fat and meat juices from draining to the broiler pan. The juices could become hot enough to catch on fire. If you do not cut the slits, you are frying, not broiling.

Questions & Answers

Q. When broiling, is it

in the pan?

A. Yes. Using the rack suspends the meat over the

pan. As the meat cooks, the juices fall into the pan, thus keeping meat drier. Juices are protected by the rack and stay cooler, thus preventing excessive

spatter and smoking.

Q. Should I salt the meat

before broiling?

A. No. Salt draws out the juices and allows them to

evaporate. Always salt after cooking. Turn meat with tongs; piercing meat with a fork also allows

juices to escape. When broiling poultry or fish,

brush each side often with butter.

necessag

to always use a rack

Q. Do I need to grease my

broiler rack to prevent meat from sticking?

A. No. The broiler rack is designed to reflect broiler

heat, thus keeping the surface cool enough to prevent meat from sticking to the surface. However, spraying the broiler rack lightly with a vegetable cooking spray before cooking will make clean up easier.

Why are my meats not turning out as brown as

they should?

A. Check to see if you are using the recommended

shelf position. Broil for longest period of time indicated in the broiling Guide. Turn food only once during broiling.

Page 21

1. Always use broiler pan and rack that comes with

your oven. It is designed to minimize smoking and spattering by trapping juices in the shielded lower part of the pan.

2. Broiling should always be done with the oven door closed.

3. For steaks and chops, slash fat evenly around outside edges of meat. To slash, cut crosswise

through outer fat surface just to the edge of the meat. Use tongs to turn meat over to prevent piercing meat and losing juices.

4. If desired, marinate meats or chicken before

broiling or brush with barbecue sauce last 5 to 10

minutes only.

5. When arranging food on pan, do not let fatty edges hang over sides, which could soil oven with fat dripping.

6. Broiler does not need to be preheated. However,

for very thin foods, or to increase browning,

preheat if desired.

7. Frozen steaks can be broiled by positioning the oven shelf at next lowest shelf position and increasing cooking time given in this guide 1

times per side.

Questions and Answers Q.

If my oven clock is not working, can I still self-

clean my oven?

A. If the clock is not working then the entire control is

not working. If the clock is not set to the correct time of day you will not be able to set a delay clean to end at a specific time.

Q. Can I use commercial oven cleaners on any part

of my self-cleaning oven?

A. No cleaners or coatings should be used around any

part of this oven. If you do use them and do not thoroughly rinse the oven with water, wiping it

absolutely clean afterwards, the residue can scar the oven surface and damage metal parts the next time the oven is automatically cleaned.

Q. What should I do if excessive smoking occurs

during cleaning?

A. This is caused by excessive soil. Press the

CLEAWOFF pad. Open windows to rid room

of smoke. Wait until the oven has cooled (about

20-30 minutes) and the word “LOCK” is off in

the display. Wipe up the excess soil and reset the clean cycle.

Q. Is the “crackling” sound I hear during

cleaning normal?

A. Yes. This is the sound of the metal heating

and cooling during both the cooking and cleaning functions.

After cleaning, dry them thoroughly by putting them in a warm oven for a few minutes. Don’t put the grates back on the range while they are wet. When replacing the grates, be sure they’re positioned securely over the burners.

To get rid of burned-on food, place the grates in a covered container (or plastic bag) with 1/4 cup ammonia to loosen the soil. Then scrub with a soap-filled scouring pad if necessary.

Although they’re durable, the grates will gradually lose their shine, regardless of the best care you can give them. This is due to their continual exposure to high temperatures.

●

Do not rub or clean the door gasket—the fiberglass

material of the gasket has an extremely low resistance to abrasion. An intact and well-fitting oven door gasket is essential for energy-efficient oven operation and good baking results. If you notice the gasket becoming worn, frayed or damaged in any way or if it has become displaced on the door, you should have it replaced.

A flexible metal appliance connector used to connect the range to the gas supply line should have an I.D. of 1/2” and be 5 feet in length (shorter and longer lengths are acceptable) for ease of instillation. In Canada, flexible connectors must be single wall metal connectors no longer than 6 feet in length.

CONNECT THE RANGE TO GAS

Shut off the main gas supply valve before disconnecting the old range and leave it off until

new hook-up has been completed. Don’t forget to relight the pilot on other gas appliances when you turn the gas back on.

Because hard piping restricts movement of the range, the use of an A. G.A.-certified flexible

metil appliance connector is recommended

unless local codes require a hard-piped connection.

Never use an old connector when installing a

new range. If the hard piping method is used, you must carefully align the pipe; the range cannot be moved after the connection is made.

To prevent gas leaks, put pipe joint compound on, or wrap pipe thread tape with Teflon* around, all male (external) pipe threads.

Extension Cord Cautions

Because of potential safety hazards associated

with certain conditions, we strongly recommend

against the use of an extension cord. However, if you still elect to use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a 3-wire grounding-type appliance extension cord and that the current carrying rating of the cord in amperes be equivalent to, or greater than,

the branch circuit rating.
