, Do not store flammable materials in an oven, a

range storage drawer or near a cooktop.

* 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 range.

• 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 the meat will be safe to eat.

Surface Cooking

• Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats, • When using glass cookware, make sure it is

4 designed for top-of-range cooking.

- Always use the LITE position (on electric ignition modds) or the HI position (on standing

pilot models) when igniting the top burners and make sure the burners have ignited.

• Never leave the surface burners unattended at high flame settings. Boilovers cause smoking

and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.

, Adjust the top burner flame size so it does not

extend beyond the edge of the cookware.

Excessive flame is hazardous.

*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 in place of a pot holder,

- To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition

of flammable materials and spillage, turn cookware

handles toward the side or back of the range without extending over adjacent burners.

- Always turn the surface burners to offbefore

removing cookware.

-Caretully watch foods being fried at a high

flame setting.

- Never block the vents (air openings} of the

range. They provide the air inlet and outlet that are necessary for the range to operate properly

with correct combustion. Air openings are located at the rear of the cooktop, at the top and bottom of

the oven door. and at the bottom of the range under the storage drawer or kick panel,

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 the sides of the pan.

. Use the least possible amount of fat for effective

shallow or deep-fat frying. Filling the pan too full of fat can cause spillovers when food is added.

, Use a deep fat thermometer whenever possible to

prevent overheating tat beyond the smoking point.

*Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially a

deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool,

• If a combination of oils or fats will be used

in flying, stir together before heating or as fats melt slowly.

• Use proper pan size--avoid pans that are

unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to properly contain food

and avoid boilovers and spillovers and large enough to cover burner grate This will both save

cleaning time and prevent hazardous accumulations of food, since heavy spattering or spillovers left

on range can ignite. Use pans with handles that can be easily grasped and remain cool.

• Keep all plastics away from the top burners.

• 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

• 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 _urners

and create a fire hazard

• When a pilot goes out (on standing pilot models ). you will detect a faint odor of gas as your signal

to relight the pilot. When relighting the pilot. make sure burner controls are in the off position.

and follow instructions in this book to relight.

• If you smell gas, and you have already made sure pilots are lit (on standing pilot models), turn off the

gas to the range and call a qualified service techmciax_ Never use an open flame to locate a leak.

Baking, Broiling and Roasting

• Do not use the oven for a storage area. Items stored in the oven can ignite.

• Place the oven shrives in the desired position while the oven is cool.

• Stand away from the range when opening the door of a hot oven. The hot air and steam that

escapes can cause bums to hands, face and eyes.

• Keep the oven free from grease buildup.

• Pulling out the shelf to the shelf-stop is a

convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also a

precaution against burns from touching hot

surfaces of the door or oven walls. The lowest

position "R" is not designed to slide.

• Do not heat unopened food containers. Pressure

could build up and the container could burst. causing an injury.

• 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 range.

• Never use aluminum foil to line the oven bottom. Improper use of foil could start a fire.

• When using cooking or roasting bags in the

oven. follow the manufacturer's directions.

• Use only glass cookware that is recommended

for use in gas ovens,

• Always remove the broiler pan from range 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 dose to the flame. the fat may ignite. Trim excess fat to prevent

excessive flare-ups

• 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 off oven control, and keep broiler drawer and

oven door closed to contain fire until it bums out.

SURFACE COOKING

Surface Burner Controls The knobs that turn the surface burners on and off are

located on the control panel in front of the burners. The two knobs on the left control the left front and left rear burners. The two knobs on the right control

the right front and right rear burners.

Before Lighting a Burner

• It"drip pans are supplied with your range, they should be used at all times.

• Make sure all grates on the range are in place

before using any burner.

To Light a Surface Burner

Push the control knob in and turn it to LITE. You

will hear a little "clicking" noise--the sound of the electric

spark igniting the burner. Turn the knob to adjust the

flame size. If the knob stays at LITE, it will continue to click.

On ranges with sealed burners:

• The smaller burner (right rear position) will give the best simmer results. It offers precise cooking

performance for delicate foods, such as sauces or foods which need to cook over low heat for a

long time. It can be turned down to a very low simmer setting.

• The right front burner is higher powered than the others and will bring liquids to a boil quicker.

• On some models, the burners are all the same size and power.

When one burner is turned to LITE, all the burners spark. Do not attempt to disassemble or clean around any burner while another burner is on. An electric

shock may result, which could cause you to knock over hot cookware.

In case of power failure, you can light the

surface burners on your range with a match. Hold

a lighted match to the burner, then turn the knob to the LITE position. Use extreme caution when

lighting burners this way.

Surface burners in use when an electrical power failure occurs will continue to operate normally.

After Lighting a Burner

*Do not operate a burner for an extended period of

time without cookware on the grate. The finish on the grate may chip without cookware to absorb the heat.

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.

• Be sure the burners and grates are cool before you place your hand, a pot holder, cleaning cloths or

other materials on them.

SURFACE COOKING

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

some cookware may melt. Follow cookware manufacturer's recommendations for cooking methods.

Glass: There are two types of glass cookware--those for oven use only and those for top-of-range cooking

(saucepans, coffee and teapots). Glass conducts heat very slowly.

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

and cools very slowly. Check coobvare manufacturer's directions to be sure it can be used on gas ranges.

Stainless Steel: This metal alone has poor heating properties and is usually combined with copper,

aluminum or other metals for improved heat distribution. Combination metal skillets usually work

satisfactorily if they are used with medium heat as the manufacturer recommends.

Stove Top Grills (on models with sealed burners)

Do 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.

Wok This Way (on models with sealed burners)

We recommend that you use a fiat-bottomed wok.

They are available at your local retail store.

Do not use a wok on a support ring. 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.

You could be seriously burned if the wok tipped over.

USING YOUR OVEN

Before Using Your Oven

Be sure you understand how to set the controls properly. Practice removing and replacing the shelves

while the oven is cool. Read the information and tips on the following pages. Keep this guide handy where you can refer to it, especially during the first weeks of

using your new range.

Oven Light

Use the switch on the control panel to turn the light on or off.

Electric Ignition

Power Outage

CAUTION: Do not make any attempt to operate the electric ignition oven during an electrical

power failure.

The oven or broiler cannot be lit during a power failure. Gas will not flow unless the glow bar is hot.

If the oven is in use when a power failure occurs, the oven burner shuts off and cannot be re-lit until

power is restored. This is because the flow of gas

is automatically stopped and will not resume when

power is restored until the glow bar has reached

operating temperature.

OVEN ON Indicator Light (on some models)

The OVEN ON light will glow any time the Oven Set knob is not in the OFF position and is set on a

temperature or a function.

Oven Moisture

As your oven heats up, the temperature change of the air in the oven may cause water droplets to form on the door glass. These droplets are harmless

and will evaporate as the oven continues to heat up.

Oven Vents

The oven is vented through duct openings at the rear of the cooktop. See the Features section. Do not block

these openings when cooking in the oven--it is important that the flow of hot air fiom the oven and

fresh air to the oven burners be uninterrupted.

• The vent openings and nearby surfaces may

become hot. Do not touch them.

* Do not leave plastic

items on the cooktop-- they may melt if left too

close to the vent.

Vent appearance and location vary.

*Handles of pots and pans on the cooktop may

become hot if left too close to the vent.

• 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

fiom the vent may ignite flammable items and will

increase pressure in closed containers, which may cause them to burst.

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 shell pull the shelf out to the bump on the shelf support. Place the cookware

on the shell then slide the shelf back into the oven. This will eliminate reaching into the hot oven.

To remove a shelf from the oven, pull it toward you, tilt the front end upward and pull the shelf out.

To replace, place the shelf on the shelf support with the stop-locks (curved extension of the shelt) facing

up and toward the rear of the oven. Tilt up the front and push the shelf toward the back of the oven until it

goes past the bump on the shelf support. Then lower the front of the shelf and push it all the way back.

Shelf Positions

The oven has five shelf supports for baking, roasting and broiling identified in this illustration

as A (bottom), B, C, D and E (top). It also has a special low shelf position (R) for roasting extra

large items, such as a large turkey--the shelf is not designed to slide out at this position. Shelf positions

for cooking are suggested in the Baking, Roasting and Broiling sections.

Automatic Oven Shut Off

As a safety feature, this oven will automatically shut

itself off after 12 hours. On models with touch pad clock controls this feature may be deactivated to

allow the oven to be left on for more than 12 hours.

To deactivate the Automatic Oven Shut-OfL press and hold both the increase and decrease MIN. pads

for about 4 seconds. The display will change from time of day to show "off _'.

To reactivate the feature, press and hold both the increase and the decrease MIN. pads for about

4 seconds. The display will change from time of day to show "on".

BAKING

Do not lock the oven door with the latch during baking. The latch is used for self-cleaning only.

Your oven temperature is controlled using the latest technology in oven control systenrs. It is

recommended that you operate your new oven for a number of weeks to become familiar with

its performance.

How to Set Your Range for Baking

To avoid possible burns, place the shelves in the correct position before you turn the oven on.

1. Turn the Oven Set knob to the temperature you desire.

Oven Shelves

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 shelf position B or C. See the chart for suggested shelf positions.

g g

If you think an adjustment is necessary, see the Adjust the Oven Thermostat section. It gives easy Do It

Fo_¢rse!finstructions on how to adjust the thermostat.

2. Check the food for doneness at the minimum time on the recipe. Cook longer if necessary.

3. Turn the Oven Set knob to OFF and then remove the foods.

Preheating

Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it. Preheat means

bringing the oven up to the specified temperature before putting the food in the oven. To preheat, set the

oven at the correct temperature--selecting a higher temperature does not shorten preheat time.

Preheating is necessary for good results when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and breads. For most casseroles

and roasts, preheating is not necessary. For ovens without a preheat indicator light or tone, preheat

10 minutes. After the oven is preheated place the

food in the oven as quickly as possible to prevent heat from escaping.

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 1½-inch space between pans as

well as t_om the back of the oven, the door and the sides. If you need to 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, fiat 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. Cookies can be baked on several shelves at the same

time but browning may be uneven because of reduced air circulation.

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

Aluminum Foil

Never entirely cover a shelf with

aluminum foil.

This will disturb

the heat circulation and

result in poor baking. A smaller

sheet of foil may be used to catch a

spillover by placing it on a lower shelf several inches below the food.

Do not put aluminum foil on the oven bottom.

BAKING

(continued)

Pies

For best results, bake pies in dark, rough or dull pans

to produce a browner, crisper

crust. Stagger the pies for most even

browning. Frozen pies in foil pans

should be placed on an aluminum

cookie sheet for baking since the shiny foil pan reflects heat away from the pie crust; the cookie

sheet helps retain it.

Cakes

For best browning when baking

several 8" or 9" cakes, stagger

them so one pan is not directly

above another. Warped or bent

pans will cause uneven baking

results and poorly shaped products. A cake baked in a pan larger than

the recipe recommends will usually be crisper, thinner and drier than it should be. If baked in a pan smaller

than recommended, it may be undercooked and batter may overflow.

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, the temperature may need to be reduced by 25°F.

• If you are using dark non-stick pans, you may find that you need to reduce the oven temperature 25°F. to prevent over-browning.

Don't Peek

Set the timer for the estimated cooking time and do not open the door to look at your food. Most recipes

provide mininmm and maximum baking times such as "bake 30-40 minutes."

DO NOT open the door to check until the minimum time. Opening the oven door frequently during

cooking allows heat to escape and makes baking times longer. Your baking results may also be affected.

How to Time Bake

TIMED BAKING

(on some models)

Do not lock the oven door with the latch during timed baking. The latch is used for self-cleaning only.

The oven control allows you to turn the oven on or off automatically at specific times that you set. Examples of Immediate Start (oven turns on now and you set it

to turn off automatically) and Delay Start and Stop (setting the oven to turn on automatically at a later

time, cook for a preset amount of time and then turn off automatically) will be described.

How to Set Immediate Start and Automatic Stop

To avoid possible burns, place the shelves in the

correct position before you turn the oven on. The oven will turn on immediately and cook for a

selected length of time. At the end of Cook Time the oven will turn off automatically.

1. Press the COOK TIME ON/OFF pad.

& 2. Press the HOUR and MIN. pads

3. Turn the Oven Set knob to the desired temperature.

4. The oven will turn on. The display will show the Cook Time remaining. When the oven reaches the set temperature, a tone sounds. The oven will

continue to cook for the programmed amount of time, then shut off automatically.

5. When the oven automatically turns off the AUTOMATIC OVEN light will flash and the oven

will signal. Turn the oven control to OFF to stop the flashes and signal.

6. Remove the food from the oven. Remember, foods that are left in the oven continue cooking after the

controls are off.

NOTE: Foods that spoil easily, such as milk, eggs, fish, stuffings, poultry and pork, should not be allowed

to sit for more than 1 hour before or after cooking. Room temperature promotes the growth of harmful

bacteria. Be sure that the oven light is offbecause heat from the bulb will speed harmful bacteria growth.

How to Set Delay Start and Automatic Stop

Quick Reminder:

1. Press the COOK TIME ON/OFF pad.

2. Press the HOUR and MIN. pads to set the desired length of cooking time.

3. Press the START TIME ON/OFF pad.

4. Press the HOUR and MIN. pads to set the time of day you want cooking to start.

5. Turn the Oven Set knob to the desired

temperature.

To avoid possible burns, place the shelves in the correct position be%re you program the oven.

You can set the oven control to delay-start the oven, cook for a specific length of time and then turn off

automatically. For example: Let's say it's 2:00 and dinner time

is shortly after 7:00. The recipe suggests 3 hours cooking time at 325°F.

1. Press the COOK TIME ON/OFF pad.

2. For 3 hours of cooking time, press

2 hours, at 4:00.

5. Turn the Oven Set knob to the desired temperature (in this example 325°F.).

The oven is now set to start at 4:00 and cook for 3 hours at a temperature of 325°F. At the

end of the 3 hour cooking time (7:00), the oven will automatically turn off. When the oven

automatically turns off the AUTOMATIC OVEN light will flash and the oven will signal. Turn the

Oven Set knob to OFF to stop the flashes and signal.

6. Remove the food from the oven. Remember, even though the oven shuts off automatically,

foods continue cooking after controls are off

NOTE: *The low temperature zone of this range (between

WARM and 200°F.) is available to keep hot cooked

foods warm. Food kept in the oven longer than

two hours at these low temperatures may spoil.

*Foods that spoil easily, such as milk, eggs, fish,

stuffings, poultry and pork, should not be allowed

to sit for more than one hour before or after cooking. Room temperature promotes the growth of harmful

bacteria. Be sure that the oven light is offbecause heat

from the bulb will speed harmful bacteria growth.

3. Press the START TIME ON/OFF pad.

Questions and Answers

Q. Can I use the minute timer during oven

cooking?

A. The minute timer can be used during any

cooking function.

Q. Can I change the time of day on the clock while

I'm Time Baking in the oven?

A. The time of day on the clock should not be

changed during any timed program. You must either stop those programs or wait until they are

finished before changing the time.

ADJUST THE OVEN THERMOSTATm

DO IT YOURSELF!

You may find that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. We recommend that you

use your new oven for a few weeks to become more familiar with it, following the times given in your

recipes as a guide. If you think your new oven is too hot or too cold,

you can adjust the thermostat yourself. If'you think _t is too hot, adjust the thermostat to make it cooler.

If you think it is too cool, adjust the thermostat to make it hotter.

We do not recommend the use of thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of your new oven. These

thermometers may vary 20-40 degrees.

To Adjust the Thermostat:

1. Put the Oven Set knob in the OFF position.

The oven temperature can be increased up to 35°F. hotter or decreased 35°F. cooler.

If the oven adjustment is set cooler than the factory setting a minus sign "-" and the new temperature will

appear in the display.

4. Wait several seconds for the control to automatically set and return to its previous setting.

NOTE: This adjustment will not affect the broiling or the self-cleaning temperatures. The adjustment will be

retained in memory after a power failure.

To Adjust the Temperature on Models with Only an Oven Set Knob

1. Put the knob in the OFF position.

2. Pull the knob offby pulling straight out.

3. Press and hold the HOTTER or COOLER button for 5 seconds to make the oven 20°F. hotter or

ROASTING

Do not lock the oven door with the latch during roasting. The latch 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.

1. Position the oven at shelf (B) position

for small size roast (3 to 5 lbs.) and at

(R) position for larger roasts.

Roasting is really a baking procedure used for meats. Therefore the oven controls are set for Baking or

Timed Baking. (You may hear a slight clicking sound indicating the oven is working properly.) Timed

Baking will turn the oven on and off automatically. Most meats continue to cook slightly while standing

after being removed tiom the oven. Recommended standing time for roasts is 10 to 20 minutes. This

allows roasts to firm up and makes them easier to carve. The internal temperature will rise about 5 ° to

10°F. If you wish to compensate for the temperature

rise, remove the roast from the oven when its internal temperature is 5 ° to 10°F. less than the temperature

shown in the Roasting Guide. Remember that food will continue to cook in the hot

oven and therefore should be removed when the desired internal temperature has been reached.

3. Turn the Oven Set knob to the desired temperature.

See the Roasting Guide for temperatures and approximate cooking times.

4. When roasting is finished, turn the Oven Set knob to OFF and then remove the food from the oven.

2. Check the weight of the roast. Place the meat tat-side-up or the poultry breast-side-up on the

roasting grid in a shallow pan. The melting tat will baste the meat. Select a pan as close to the size of

meat as possible. (The broiler pan with grid is a good pan for this.)

Dual Shelf Cooking

This allows more than one tbod to be cooked at the same time. For example: While roasting a 20-lb.

(10 kg) turkey on shelf position R, a second shelf (if so equipped) may be added on position D so that

an additional food such as scalloped potatoes can be cooked at the same time. Foods cooked with the

turkey should be added toward the end of the time allowed for the turkey. For example, potatoes which

cook for 1 hour should be added to the oven 1hour before the end of cooking time for the turkey.

Use of Aluminum Foil

You can use aluminum toil to line the broiler pan. This makes clean-up easier when using the pan for

marinating, cooking with fruits, cooking heavily cured meats or basting tbod during cooking. Press

the foil tightly around the inside of the pan.

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 halt'- 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.

ROASTING GUIDE

Frozen Roasts

Frozen roasts of beet, pork, lamb, etc., can be started without thawing, but allow 15 to 25 minutes per pound

additional time (15 minutes per pound for roasts under 5 pounds, more time for larger roasts).

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

a roast or poultry?

A. It is not necessary 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.

Make sure poultry is thawed before roasting. Unthawed poultry often does not cook evenly.

Some commercial frozen poultry can be cooked successfully without thawing. Follow directions

given on package label.

BROILING

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

Broiling is cooking food by direct heat from above the food. Most fish and tender cuts of meat can be

broiled. Follow these directions to keep spattering and smoking to a minimum.

The oven door must be closed during broiling.

1. If the meat has fat or gristle around the edge, cut vertical slashes through both about 2" apart. If

desired, the fat may be trimmed, leaving a layer about 1/8" thick.

2. Place the meat on the broiler grid in the broiler pan which comes with the range. Always use the grid so

fat drips into the broiler pan; otherwise the juices may become hot enough to catch fire.

3. Position the shelf on the recommended shelf position as suggested in Broiling Guide.

Turn the food only once during cooking. Time the

foods for the first side according to the Broiling

Guide. Turn the food, then use

the times given for the second side as a guide to

the preferred doneness.

Close the oven door but do not latch it. If the door latch is moved to the right during a broil

operation the door may lock and you may not be able to open it until the oven cools.

Turn the Oven Set knob to BROIL.

When broiling is finished, turn Oven Set knob to OFF. Remove the broiler pan from the range and

serve food immediately. Leave the pan outside the range to cool.

Use of Aluminum Foil

You can use aluminum foil to line your broiler pan and broiler grid. However, you must mold the foil tightly

to the grid and cut slits in it just like the grid. 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 and Answers

Q. When broiling, is it necessary to always use a

grid in the pan?

A. Yes. Using the grid 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 grid 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 the meat with tongs; piercing the meat with a fork also

allows juices to escape. When broiling poultry or fish, brush each side often with butter.

Q. 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 the longest period of time indicated in the Broiling Guide. Turn the food only once during broiling.

BROILING GUIDE

The oven door must be closed during broiling.

• Always use the broiler pan and grid that comes with

your range. It is designed to minimize smoking and

spattering by tr@ping juices in the shielded lower

part of the pan.

• For steaks and chops, slash the fat evenly around the

outside edges of the meat. To slash, cut crosswise through the outer tat surface just to the edge of the

meat. Use tongs to turn the meat over to prevent piercing the meat and losing the juices.

OPERATING THE SELF-CLEANING OVEN

Normal Cleaning Time: 4 hours and 20 minutes

Before a Clean Cycle

We recommend venting with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood during the first

self-clean cycle.

1. Remove the broiler pan, broiler grid, all cookware and any aluminum foil from the oven--they cannot

withstand the high cleaning temperatures. NOTE: Take the shelves out of the oven before

you begin the self-clean cycle.

2. Wipe up heavy soil on the oven bottom. If you use soap, rinse thoroughly before self-cleaning

to prevent staining.

Oven ("_ light

Clean spatters or spills on the oven front flame, and the oven door outside the gasket with a

dampened cloth. The oven fiont frame and the oven door outside the gasket do not get cleaned by the self-clean cycle. On these areas use detergent

and hot water or a soap-filled steel wool pad. Rinse well with a vinegar and water solution. This will

help prevent a brown residue from forming when the oven is heated. Buffthese areas with a dlT

cloth. Do not clean the gasket. Clean the top, sides and outside front of the oven

door with soap and water. Do not use abrasives or oven cleaners.

Make sure the oven light bulb cover is in place. 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.

4. Close the door and make sure the oven light is off'. If the oven light is not turned off. the life

of the bulb will be shortened or it may burn out immediately.

CAUTION: The grates and drip pans (on some models) should never be cleaned

in the self-cleaning even. Do not use commercial even cleaners or even

protectors in or near the self-cleaning oven. A combination of any of these products plus the high

clean cycle temperatures may damage the porcelain finish of the oven.

How to Set the Oven for Cleaning

Quick Reminder:

1. Latch the door.

2. Turn the Oven Set knob to CLEAN.

If the oven is too hot and you start to set a clean cycle, you will not be able to slide the latch.

Allow additional time for cooling before you try to set the cycle.

1. Follow directions to prepare the oven for cleaning.

2. Slide the latch handle to the right as far as it will go.

Never force the latch handle. Forcing the handle

will damage the door lock Illl_ mechanism.

3. Turn the Oven Set knob to CLEAN. The CLEAN, AUTOMATIC OVEN, OVEN ON and COOK TIME ON/OFF lightswill glow.

NOTE: If you turn the Oven Set knob before you slide the latch, the CLEAN light will flash. Slide the latch to the right.

Clean cycle time is normally 4 hours and 20 minutes. On some models, you can change the

Clean Time to anywhere between 3 hours and 5 hours and 59 minutes, depending on how dirty your oven is.

You have one minute to change your Clean Time. Use the HOUR and MIN. pads to change the total

Clean Time.

Both the OVEN ON light and the CLEAN light will flash when the Clean Time is finished.

After using the clean cycle, the door latch and the Oven Set knob must be returned to their original

positions before you can use the oven. When the CLEAN light flashes, slide the latch

handle to the left as tar as it will go, turn the Oven Set knob to OFF and open the door.

Never force the latch handle. Wait until the CLEAN light flashes and the latch slides easily. Forcing the

latch handle may damage the door lock.

To Stop A Clean Cycle

1. Turn the Oven Set knob to OFF.

2. Wait until the oven has cooled below the locking temperature to unlatch the door. You will not be able to open the door right away unless the oven

has cooled below the locking temperature.

After a Clean Cycle

You may notice some white ash in the oven.

Just wipe it up with a damp cloth after the oven cools. If white spots remain, remove them with a soap-

filled steel wool pad. Be sure to rinse thoroughly with a vinegar and water mixture. These deposits

are usually a salt residue that cannot be removed by the clean cycle.

If the oven is not clean after one clean cycle,

repeat the cycle.

NOTE:

• You cannot set the oven for cooking until the oven is

cool enough for the door to be unlatched.

• While the oven is self-cleaning, you can press the

CLOCK pad to display the time of day. To return to the clean countdown, press the COOK TIME

ON/OFF pad.

A. 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. Can I clean the woven gasket around the oven door? A. No, this gasket is essential for a good oven seal,

and care must be taken not to rub, damage or move this gasket.

Q. The CLEAN light flashes when I set the clean

cycle. What's wrong?

A. The CLEAN light will flash until the latch is

moved to the right.

Q. Is the "crackling" or "popping" 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.

Q. What should I do if excessive smoking occurs

during cleaning?

A. This is caused by excessive soil. Turn the Oven Set

knob to OFF. Open the windows to rid the room of smoke. Wait until the CLEAN light goes off. Wipe

up the excess soil and reset the clean cycle.

Q. Should there he any odor during the cleaning? A. Yes, there will be an odor during the first few

cleanings. Failure to wipe out excessive soil might also cause a strong odor when cleaning.

Q. What causes the hair-like lines on the enameled

surface of my oven?

A. This is a normal condition, resulting from heating

and cooling during cleaning. These lines do not affect how your oven performs.

Q. Why do I have ash left in my oven after

cleaning?

A. Some types of soil will leave a deposit which

is ash. It can be removed with a damp sponge or cloth.

Q. Can I cook food on the cooktop while the oven

is self-cleaning?

A. Yes. While the oven is self cleaning, you can use

the cooktop just as you normally do.

Do not attempt to disassemble or clean around any burner while another burner is on. An electric shock may result, which could cause you

to knock over hot cookware.

NOTE: Before removing the burner heads and caps, remember their size and location. Replace

them in the same location after cleaning.

For proper ignition, make sure the small

hole in the section that fits over the electrode is

kept open. A sewing needle or wire twist-tie

works well to unclog it. The slits in the burner heads of your range

must be kept clean at all times for an even, unhampered flame.

You should clean the surface burners routinely, especially after bad spillovers, which could clog

these openings. To remove burned-on food, soak the burner heads

in a solution of mild liquid detergent and hot water for 20-30 minutes. For more stubborn stains, use a

Burner Grates

Lift out when cool. Grates should be washed

regularly and, of course, after spillovers. Wash them in hot, soapy water and rinse with clean water.

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 prevent rusting on cast iron grates, apply a light

coating of cooking oil on the bottom of the grates.

Cooktop Surface

To avoid damaging the porcelain enamel surface of the cooktop and to prevent it from becoming

dull, clean up spills right away. Foods with a lot of acid (tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices, etc.) or foods

with high sugar content could cause a dull spot if allowed to set.

When the surface has cooled, wash and rinse. For other spills such as fat spatterings, etc., wash with soap and water once the surface has cooled. Then

rinse and polish with a dry cloth.

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. Let sit overnight (or approximately 12 hours), then scrub with a soap-filled scouring pad if necessary. Rinse grates

thoroughly and dry completely before replacing them on the range top.

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. You will notice this sooner with

lighter color grates.

Do not operate a burner for an extended period of time without cookware on the grate. The finish on

the grate may chip without cookware to absorb the heat.

CAUTION: Do not clean the grates in a dishwasher or in a self-cleaning oven.

Do not store flammable materials in an oven or near the cooktop. Do not store or use combustible

materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

Oven Bottom

The oven bottom has a porcelain enamel finish. To make cleaning easier, protect the oven bottom

from excessive spillovers by placing a cookie sheet on the shelf below the shelf you are cooking on. This is particularly important when baking a fruit pie or other foods with a high acid content. Hot fruit

fillings or other foods that are highly acidic (such as tomatoes, sauerkraut, and sauces with vinegar or lemon juice) may cause pitting and damage to the porcelain enamel surface and should be wiped up

immediately.

We don't recommend using aluminum toil on the oven bottom. It can affect air flow if the holes are

blocked and it can concentrate heat at the bottom of the oven, resulting in poor baking performance.

To clean up spillovers, use soap and water, an abrasive cleaner or soap-filled steel wool pad.

Rinse well to remove any soap before self-cleaning.

Lift-Off Oven Door

CARE AND CLEANING

(continued)

The oven door is removable, __:]_\ but it is heavy. You may need help

removing and replacing the door. To remove the door; open it a few

inches to the special stop position that will hold the door open. Grasp firmly on each side and lift the door

straight up and off the hinges. NOTE: Be careful not to place

hands between the hinge and the oven door flame as the hinge could snap back and pinch fingers.

To replace the door; make sure the hinges are in the special stop position. Position the slots in the bottom

of the door squarely over the hinges. Then lower the door slowly and evenly over both hinges at the same

time. If the hinges snap back against the oven frame, pull them back out.

TO CLEAN THE DOOR: (Do not immerse the door in water.) Inside of the door:

• Because the area inside the gasket is cleaned during the self clean cycle, you do not need to clean this by hand. Any soap left on the liner causes additional

stains when the oven is heated.

* The area outside the gasket can be cleaned with

a soap-filled steel wool or plastic pad.

*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.

Inside gasket

gasket

Outside of the door: oUse soap and water to thoroughly clean the top,

sides and front of the oven door. Rinse well. You

may also use a glass cleaner to clean the glass on the outside of the door.

o Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces

and basting materials containing acids may cause discoloration and should be wiped up immediately. When the surface is cool, clean and rinse.

• Do not use oven cleaners, cleansing powders or harsh abrasives such as steel wool pads on the

outside of the door:

Broiler Pan and Grid

After broiling, remove the broiler pan from the oven. Remove the grid

from the pan. Carefully pour out grease from the pan into a proper container. Wash and rinse the broiler pan and grid

in hot water with a soap-filled or plastic scouring pad.

Grid

I I

Pan

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

The broiler pan and grid may be cleaned with a commercial oven cleaner.

Both the broiler pan and grid can also be cleaned in a dishwasher.

Do not store a soiled broiler pan and grid anywhere in the range.

CAUTION: Do not clean the broiler pan or grid in a self-cleaning oven.

Oven Shelves

Clean the shelves with an abrasive cleanser or steel wool. After cleaning, rinse the shelves with clean water and dry with a clean cloth

NOTE: Take the shelves out of'the oven before you begin the self-clean cycle

CARE AND CLEANING

Oven Light Replacement (on some models)

CAUTION: Before replacing your oven light bulb,

disconnect the electrical power to the range at the main fuse or circuit breaker panel. Be sure to let

the light cover and bulb cool completely.

The oven light bulb is covered with a removable glass cover that is held in place with a bail-shaped wire. Remove the oven door, if desired, to reach

cover easily. To remove:

1. Hold a hand under the cover so it doesn't fall

when released. With fingers of the same

hand, firmly push back the wire cover holder.

Lift offthe cover.

Control Panel and Knobs

the wire forward to the center of the cover until it snaps into place. When in place, the wire holds the

cover firmly. Be certain the wire is in the depression in the center of the cover.

2. Connect electrical power to the range.

It's a good idea to wipe the control panel after each use of the oven. Clean with mild soap and water or

vinegar and water, rinse with clean water and polish dry with a soft cloth.

Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong liquid cleaners, plastic scouring pads or oven cleaners on the control

panel--they will damage the finish. A 50/50 solution of vinegar and hot water works well.

Removable Storage Drawer (on somemodels)

The storage drawer is a good place to store cookware and bakeware. Do not store plastics and flammable

material in the drawer.

The storage drawer may be removed for cleaning under the range. Clean the storage drawer with a damp cloth or sponge. Never use harsh abrasives

or scouring pads.

The control knobs may be removed for easier cleaning.

To remove a knob, pull it straight off the stem. If knob

is difficult to remove, place a towel or dishcloth between

the knob and control panel and pull gently. Wash the knobs in soap and water or a vinegar and

hot water solution. Metal parts can be cleaned with soap and water.

Do not use steel wool, abrasives, ammonia, acids or commercial oven cleaners. Dry with a soft cloth.

CARE AND CLEANING

(continued)

Oven Air Vents

Never block the vents (air openings) of the range. They provide the air inlet and outlet that are necessary

for the range to operate properly with correct combustion. Air openings are located at the rear of the cooktop, at the top and bottom of the oven dooc and at

the bottom of the range, under the kick panel or storage drawer (depending on the model).

Lift-Up Cooktop (on models with standard twin burners)

Clean the area under the cooktop often. Built-up soil, especially grease, may catch on fire.

To make cleaning easier, the cool<top may be lifted up. To raise the cooktop:

1. Be sure the burners are turned of£

2. Remove the grates.

3. Grasp the two front burner wells and lift up.

Vent appearance and location vary.

Some models have dual support rods that will hold

the cooktop up while you clean underneath it.

Clean under the cooktop with hot, soapy water and

a clean cloth. If you removed your surface burners while cleaning, make sure they are properly seated when replacing them.

After cleaning, lower the cooktop (be careful not to pinch your fingers).

Removable Kick Panel (onsomemodels)

The kick panel may be removed %r cleaning under the range.

To remove, lift up the bottom of the panel slightly to disengage

the panel tiom the tabs at the base of the mnge. Pull the bottom of the panel forward

until the spring clips are released at the top of the panel.

To replace, insert the two slots at the bottom of the panel

according to CAN/CGA-I.1 latest edition. As with any appliance using gas and generating heat,

there are certain safety precautions you should follow. You will find these precautions in the Important Safety Instructions in the front of this guide. Read them carefully:

• Have your range installed by a qualified installer.

• Your range must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, in accordance with the National

Electrical Code (ANSI/NFPA 70, latest edition).

In Canada, electrical grounding must be in accordance with the current CSA C22.1 Canadian

Electrical Code Part 1 and/or local codes. See Electrical Connections in this section.

. Before installing your range on linoleum or

any other synthetic floor covering, make sure

the floor covering can withstand 180°E without shrinking, warping or discoloring. Do not install the range over carpeting unless a sheet of 1/4" thick plywood or similar insulator is placed between the range and carpeting.

• Make sure the wall coverings around the range can withstand heat generated by the range up to 200°E

• Avoid placing cabinets above the range. To reduce the hazard caused by reaching over the open flames of operating burners, install a

ventilation hood over the range that projects forward at least 5" beyond the front of the cabinets.

The ventilating hood must be constructed of

sheet metal not less than 0.0122" thick. Install

above the cooktop with a clearance of not less

than 1/4" between the hood and the underside

of the combustible material or metal cabinet.

The hood must be at least as wide as the

appliance and centered over the appliance. Clearance between the cooking surface and the

ventilation hood surface MUST NEVER BE LESS THAN 24 INCHES.

EXCEPTION: Installation of a listed microwave oven or cooking appliance over the cooktop shall

conform to the installation instructions packed

with that appliance.

• If cabinets are placed above the range, allow a

minimum clearance of 30" between the cooking surface and the bottom of unprotected cabinets.

• If a 30" clearance between cooking surface

and overhead combustible material or metal cabinets cannot be maintained, protect the

underside of the cabinets above the cooktop with not less than 1/4" insulating millboard covered

with sheet metal not less than 0.0122" thick.

* Clearance between the cooking surface and

protected cabinets MUST NEVER BE LESS

THAN 24 INCHES. The vertical distance from

the plane of the cooking surface to the bottom of adjacent overhead cabinets extending closer than

1" to the plane of the range sides must not be

less than 18". (See Dimensions and Clearances illustration in this section.)

o CAUTION: Items of interest to children should

not be stored in cabinets above a range or on the backsplash of a range--children climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously injured.

WARHJHG

All ranges can tip and injury could

result. To prevent accidental tipping of the range, attach an approved

Anti-Tip device to the wall. (See

Installing the Anti-Tip Device in

this section.) To check if the device is installed and engaged properly,

careflflly tip the range forward. The

Anti-Tip device should engage and prevent the

range from tipping over. If you pull the range out from the wall for any

reason, make sure the Anti-Tip device is engaged

when you push the range back against the wall.

• For your safety, never use your range for

warming or heating the room. Your oven and

cooktop are not designed to heat your kitchen.

Top burners should not be operated without

cookware on the grate. Such abuse could result in fire and damage to your range and will void you r warranty.

• Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

Explosions or fires could result.

• Do not use oven for a storage area. Items stored in the oven can ignite.

. Do not let cooking grease or other flammable

materials accumulate in or near the range.

GENERAL

• See Dimensions and Clearances in this section

for all rough-in and spacing dimensions. These

dimensions must be met for safe use of your range.

The location of the electrical outlet and pipe opening

(see Gas Pipe and Electric Outlet Locations) may

be adjusted to meet specific requirements.

• The range may be placed with 0" clearance

(flush) at the back wall and side walls of the range.

LOCATION

Do not locate the range where it may be subject to strong drafts. Any openings in the floor or wall behind the range should be sealed. Make sure the openings around the base of the range that supply fresh air for combustion and ventilation are not obstructed by carpeting or woodwork.

PROTECTYOUR FLOOR

Your range, like many other household items, is heavy and can settle into soft floor coverings such as cushioned vinyl or carpeting. Use care

when moving the range on this type of flooring.

It is recommended that the following simple and inexpensive instructions be followed to protect

your floor.

The range should be installed on a sheet of plywood

(or similar material). When No lIoor covering en&

at &e Front oFthe range, the area that the range

will rest on should be built up with plywood to

the same level or higher than the floor covering. This will allow the range to be moved for cleaning or servicing. Also, make sure your floor covering

will withstand 180°E (See the hnportant Safety

Instructions section of the Installation Instructions.)

K|TCHEHCAB|HETS

[] PROVIDE ADEQUATEGASSUPPLY

Your range is designed to operate at a pressure of 4" of water cohmm on natural gas or, if designed

for LP gas (propane or butane), lO" of water column. Make sure you are supplying your range

with the type of gas for which it is designed. This range is convertible for use on natural or propane gas. If you decide to use this range on LP gas,

conversion must be made by a qualified LP installer before attempting to operate the range

on that gas. For proper operation, the pressure of natural gas

supplied to the regulator must be between 4" and

13" of water column. For LP gas, the pressure supplied must be between 10" and 13" of water column. When checking for proper operation of the regulator, the inlet pressure must be at least

1" greater than the operating (manifold) pressure as given above. The pressure regulator located at the inlet of the range manifold must remain in the supply line regardless of whether natural or LP gas is being used. 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 for ease of installation. In Canada, flexible connectors must be single wall metal connectors no longer than 6 feet in length.

E_ COMMECTTHERAHGETO 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 metal 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 careflflly align the pipe; the range

cannot be moved after the connection is made. To prevent gas leaks, use pipe joint compound

or wrap Teflon* pipe thread tape 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 UL-listed, 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.

IMPORTANT--(Please read carefully)

FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE

MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED. The power cord of this appliance is equipped

with a three-prong (grounding) plug which

mates with a standard three-prong grounding

wall receptacle

PREFERRED METHOD

Ensure proper

ground exists

before use

qualified electrician to make sure the receptacle is properly grounded.

Where a standard two-prong wall receptacle is

encountered, it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to have it replaced with

a properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle. DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES,

CUT OR REMOVE THE THIRD (GROUND) PRONG FROM THE POWER CORD.

to minimize the

possibility of electric shock

hazard from this appliance.

The customer should have the

wall receptacle

and circuit checked by a

[] Usage Situations where Appliance Power Cord will be Disconnected Infrequently.

An adapter may be used only on a 15-amp

circuit. Do not use an adapter on a 20-amp

circuit. Where local codes permit, a TEMPORARY CONNECTION may be made to a properly grounded two-prong wall

receptacle by the use of a UL-listed adapter',

available at most hardware stores. The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned with the larger slot in the wall receptacle to provide

proper polarity in the connection of the

power cord.

TEMPORARY METHOD

(Adapter plugs not permitted in Canada)

Align large prongs/slots

Ensure proper ground and

firm connection before use

CAUTION: Attaching the adapter ground

terminal to the wall receptacle cover screw

does not ground the appliance unless the cover

screw is metal, and not insulated, and the wall

receptacle is grounded through the house

wiring. The customer should have the circuit

checked by a qualified electrician to make sure

the receptacle is properly grounded.

[] Usage Situations where Appliance Power Cord will be Disconnected Frequently.

Do not use an adapter plug in these situations because disconnecting of the power cord

places undue strain on the adapter and leads to eventual failure of the adapter ground terminal. The customer should have the two-prong

wall receptacle replaced with a three-prong

(grounding) receptacle by a qualified electrician

before using the appliance. The installation of appliances designed for

mobile home installation must conform with the Manufactured Home Construction and

Safety Standard, Title 24 CFR, Part 3280

(formerly the Federal Standard for Mobile Home Construction and Safety, Title 24, HUD, Part 280) or, when such standard is not applicable, the Standard for Manufactured

Home Installations, latest edition (Manufactured Home Sites, Communities and Set-Ups), ANSI

A225.1, latest edition, or with local codes. In Canada, mobile home installation must be in

accordance with the current CAN/CSA Z240/MH Mobile Home Installation Code.

ElectricDisconnect

1. Locate disconnect plug on the range back.

2. Pinch sides of connector and pull out of range back.

When disconnecting the power cord fl'om the

adapter, always hold the adapter with one hand. If this is not done, the adapter ground terminal is very likely to break with repeated use. Should this happen, DO NOT USE the appliance until a proper ground has again been established.

Operation of all cooktop and oven burners should be checked after the range and gas supply lines have been carefully checked

for leaks.

Electric Ignition Models

Select a top burner knob and simultaneously

push in and turn to LITE position. You will hear

a snapping sound indicating proper operation

of the spark module. Once the air has been

purged from the supply lines, burners should light within 4 seconds. After burner lights,

rotate knob out of the LITE position. Try each burner in succession until all burners have

been checked.

Quallfyof Flumes

The combustion quality of burner flames needs to be determined visually.

(A) Yellow flamesI Call for service

(B) Yellow tips on

outer cones-- Normal for LP gas

Normal for natural gas

If burner flames look like (A), call for service. Normal burner flames should look like (B) or

Your oven is designed to operate quietly and automatically. To operate the oven, turn the OVEN

SET knob to a setting above 300°E After 30-90 seconds, the oven burner will ignite and burn until the set temperature is reached. The oven

burner will continue to cycle on and off as necessary to maintain the oven at the temperature

indicated by the OVEN SET knob. To check ignition of the broil burner, turn the

OVEN SET knob to BROIL. After 30-90 seconds, the broil burner will ignite.

Electric ignition models require electrical power to operate. In case of a power outage, the

oven burners on these models cannot be lit manually with a match. Gas will not flow unless

the glow bar is hot. If the oven is in use when a power outage occurs,

the burner will shut off and cannot be re-lit until power is restored.

ADJUSTBRq)|LAHD OV|H BUM|R A|R

ADJUSTM|HT SHUTTERSJFH|C|SSARY

Air adjustment shutters for tile top and bottom

burners regulate the flow of air to the flames.

The air adjustment shutter for the top

(broil) burner is in the center of the rear

wall of the oven.

To determine if the bottom burner flames are

burning properly, remove the oven bottom. Flames should have approximately 1" blue cones and, if range is supplied with natural gas,

should burn with no yellow tipping. (With most

LP gas, small yellow tips at the end of outer cones are normal.) Flames should not lift off

burner ports. If lifting is observed, gradually

reduce air shutter opening until flames are

stabilized.

The shutter for the bottom (oven) burner is

near the back wall behind the kick panel.

Remove the panel. See the Care and Cleaning

section in this guide.

To adjust the flow of air to either burner, loosen

the Phillips head screw and rotate the shutter

toward open or closed position as needed.

The flames for the top (broil) burner should be

steady with approximately 1" blue cones and should

not extend out over the edges of the burner baffle.

To remove the oven bottom:

1. Remove the knurled screws holding down rear

of the oven bottom.

2. Grasp the oven bottom at finger slots on each side.

3. Lift the rear of the oven bottom enough to clear the lip of the range frame, then pull out.

5. Check for levelness by placing a spirit level or

a cup, partially filled with water, on one of the

oven shelves. If using a spirit level, take two

readings--with the level placed diagonally first

in one direction and then the other.

6. Adjust the leveling legs until the range is level.

7. After the range is level, slide the range away
