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 and requires
businesses to warn customers
of potential exposure to such
substances. .
Gas appliances can cause
minor exposure to three of these
substances, namely benzene,
formaldehyde and soot, caused _
primarily by the incomplete
combustion of natural gas or LP
fuels. Properly adjusted ovens,
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 ibu Get ibnr Oven

can refer to it—especially during
the first few weeks of getting
acquainted with your oven.
Oven Temperature Control
The OVEN TEMP control is
located on the upper oven control
panel.
Oven Shelves
The shelves are designed with
stop-locks so when placed correctly
on the shelf supports, they will stop
before Coming eompletely out of
the oven and will not tilt when you
are removing food or placing food
on them.
When placing cookware on a shelf,
pull the shelf out to the “stop”
position. Place the cookware on
me Micii, iiieu siiuc me Mien uaetv
into the oven. This will eliminate
reaching into the hot oven.
To remove the shelves from the oven
for cleaning, pull out to stop
position, lift up on front and pull
them out.
Shelf Positions
The oven has four shelf supports—
A (bottom), B, C and D (top). Shelf
positions for cooking are suggested
on Baking and Roasting pages.
To adjust the flow of air to the
burner, loosen the Phillips head
Simply turn the knob to the desired
cooking temperatures, which are
marked in 25 °F. increments on the
dial. It will normally take 30 to 60
seconds before the flame comes on.
After the oven reaches the selected
temperature, the oven burner cycles
off completely, then on with a full
flame to keep the oven temperature
controlled.
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

oven door for the first minute

Baking Tips
® Follow a tested recipe and
measure the ingredients carefully,
if you are using a package mix,
follow label directions.
• If moisture is noticeable on the
front of the oven or on the ov'en
window when first turning on the
oven, leave the oven door ajar for a
few minutes or until the oven is warm.
® Do not open the oven door during
a baking operation—heat will be lost
and the baking time might need to
be extended. This could cause poor
baking results. If you must open the

Broiling
Broiling is cooking food by direct
heat from above the food. Your
range has a convenient compartment
below the oven for broiling. It also
has a specially designed broiler pan
and rack that allow dripping fat to
drain away from the foods and be
kept away from the high heat of
the gas flame.
Distance from the heat source may
be changed by positioning the broiler
pan and rack on one of three shelf
positions in the broiler compartmentÁ (bottom of broiler compartment),
B (middle) and C (top).
Both the oven and broiler
compartment dooi^ should be
closed during broiling.
How to Broil
1. If meat has fat or gristle near the
edge, cut vertical slashes through it
about 2 inches apart, but don’t cut
into meat. We recommend that you
trim fat to prevent excessive
smoking, leaving a layer about
i/8-inch thick.
2. Remove broiler pan and rack
from broiler compartment and
place food on rack.
«jr. X' uii uut uxuii^i uiawc^i uiuiiQi
shelf and position broiler pan in
compartment. Placing food closer to
flame increases exterior browning
of food, but also increases
spatiering and the possibility of fats
and meat juices igniting.
4. Close broiler door and, for most
foods, turn OVEN TEMP knob to
BROIL. Exceptions are chicken
and ham which are broiled at a
lower setting in order to cook food
through before overbrowning it.
5. Thrn most foods once during

Care and Cleaning
Proper care and cleaning are
important so your oven will give
you efficient and satisfactory
service. Follow these directions
carefully in caring for it to help
assure safe and proper maintenance.
BE SURE ELECTRIC POWER
IS OFF BEFORE CLEANING
ANY PART OF YOUR OVEN.
Special Care of
Coniinuous=Cl8anlRg
Oven Interior
Model JGKCI6GEK
Your oven has a Continuous-
Cleaning interior that cleans itself
while cooking. The inside of the
nygn—top, sides, and back—is
finished with a special coating
which cannot be cleaned in the
usual manner with soap, detergents,
commercial oven cleaners, coarse
k
C40
Use of such cleaners and/or the use
of oven sprays will cause permanent
damage.
The special coating is a porous
ceramic material which is dark in
color and feels slightly rough to the
touch. If magnified, the surface
would appear as peaks, valleys, and
sub-surface “tunnels!’ This rough
finish tends to prevent grease
spatters from forming little beads
or droplets which run down the
side walls of a hard-surface oven
liner leaving unsightly streaks that
require hand cleaning. Instead,
when spatter hits the porous finish
it is dispersed and is partially
absorbed. This spreading action
increases the exposure of oven
soil to heated air, and makes it
somewhat less noticeable.
Soil may noi disappear completely
and at some time after extended
usage, stains may appear which
cannot be removed.
The special coating works best on
small amounts of spatter. It does
not work well with larger spills,
especially sugars, egg or dairy
mixtures.
r\r
nrtarcf^
I y
OV' V401 IV.'O .
KriioIiAC
The special coating is not used
on oven shelves. Shelves should be
cleaned outside the oven, to avoid
damage to the special coating.
To Clean the
Continuous-Cleaning Oven:
1. Let oven parts cool before
handling. It is recommended that
nihhpT olnvpc hp u/nrn u/hpn
cleaning oven parts manually.
3. Soil visibility may be reduced by
operating the oven at 450°F. Close
the door and turn OVEN TEMP
knob to 450®F. Time for at least 4
hours. Repeated cycles may be
necessary before improvement in
appearance is apparent.
Remember: Duringthe

REPLACING SHELVES.
4. If a spillover or heavy soiling
occurs on the porous surface, as
soon as practical after the oven has
cooled, remove as much of the soil
as possible using a small amount of
water and a stiff bristle nvlon

brush. When using water, use it
sparingly and change it frequently,
keeping it as clean as possible, and
be sure to blot it up with paper
towels, cloths, or sponges. Do not
rub or scrub with paper towels,
cloths or sponges, since they will
leave unsightly lint on the oven
finish. If water leaves a white ring
on the finish as it dries, apply water
again and blot it with a clean sponge,
starting at the edge of the ring and
working toward the center.
Do not use soap, detergent,
commercial oven cleaner, silicone
oven sprays, coarse steel pads or
coarse brushes on the porous
surface. These products will spot,
clog, and mar the porous surface
and reduce its ability to work.
--------
r VJXJ À

Do not scrape the porous surface
with a knife or spatula—they could
permanently damage the finish.
Porcelain Oven Interior
With proper care, the porcelain
enamel \^ls will retain their good
looking finish for many years.
Soap and water will normally
do the job. Heavy spattering or
spillovers may require cleaning
With a mild abiasive cleanser. Soapy,
wet pads may also be used. Do not
allow food spills with a high sugar or
acid content (such as milk, tomatoes,
sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling)
to remain on the surrace. They may
cause a dull spot even after cleaning.
Household ammonia may make the
cleaning job easier. Place 1/2 cup in a
shallow glass or pottery container in
a cold oven overnight. The ammonia
fumes will help loosen the bumed-on
grease and food.
If necessary, you may use a caustic

Cautions about using
spray-on oven cleaners:

• Do not spray on the electrical
controls and switches (on models so
equipped) because it could cause a
short circuit and result in sparking
or fire.
* Do not allow a film from the
cleaner to build up on the temperature
sensing bulb—it could cause the
oven to heat improperly. (The bulb
is located at the top of the oven.)

each oven cleaning, being careful
not to move the bulb as a change in

2. Lift upwkrd on shelf supports.
Swing bottom of supports toward
center of oven and remove.
If screws are too tight to remove by
hand, use a screwdriver.
5. Pull the bottom forward and out

Oven Shelves
Oven shelves may be cleaned with
>a mild abrasive cleanser following
manufacturer’s directions. After
cleaning, rinse the shelves with clean
water and dry with a dry cloth. To
remove heavy, bumed-on soil, soapy
metal pads may be used following
manufacturer’s directions. After
scrubbing, wash with soapy water,
rinse and dry.
Broiler Pan & Rack
After broiling, remove the broiler
rack and carefully pour off the
grease. Wash and rinse the pan
and rack in hot, soapy water.
If food has burned on, sprinkle
the broiler rack while hot with
rlOnrl 11/Af «Or\Af
ciiivi w
11.11
towels or a dish cloth. That way,
burned-on foods will soak loose
while the meal is being served.
Do not store a soiled broiler pan
and rack in the oven or broiler
compartment.
Oven Light Bulb
Replacement
Before replacing any light bulb,
disconnect electric power to the
range at the main fuse or circuit
breaker panel. Let the bulb cool
completely before removing it. Do
not touch a hot bulb with a damp
cloth—the bulb will break.
The light bulb in your oven is
located in the upper right corner.
Reach m and unscrew it after taking
precautions mentioned above.
Replace it with a high-temperature
appliance bulb of the same wattage.
Adjusting the
Oven Thermostat
The temperature control in your
new oven has been carefully adjusted
to provide accurate temperatures.
However, if this oven has replaced
one you have used for several years,
you may notice a difference in the
degree of browning or the length
of time required when using your
favorite recipes. Oven temperature
controls have a tendency to “drift”
over a period of years and since
this drift is very gradual, it is not
readily noticed. Therefore, you
may have become accustomed to
your previous oven which may
have provided a higher or lower
temperature than you selected.
Before attempting to have the
temperature of your new oven
changed, be sure you have followed
the baking time and temperature of
the recipe carefully. Then, after
you have used the oven a few times
and you feel the oven is too hot
or too cool, there is a simple
adjustment '^ou can make '^ourself
on the OVEN TEMP knob.
Pull the knob off the control shaft
and look at the back side. There is
a disc in the center of the knob skirt
with a series of notches on the inner
edge next to the knob shaft. One of
these notches is positioned over a
pointer on the side of the knob shaft.
Note which notch the pointer is
located in. To make an adjustment,
carefully loosen (approximately
one turn), but do not completely
remove the two screws that hold the
skirt to the knob. Hold the knob in
one hand and with tlie other hand
carefully tilt the skirt until the notch
in the disc clears the pointer on the
knob shaft.
To raise the oven temperature, turn
the dial in the direction of the
arrow for “Raise!’ To lower the
tpmnpratiirp turn thp Hial in th<»
-
--------
w.,.. ... W.V-
direction of arrow for “Lower!’
Each notch will change the oven
temperature approximately 25°F.
We suggest that you make the
adjustment one notch from the
original setting and check oven
additional adjustments.
After the adjustment is made, make
sure the pointer on the knob shaft
is aligned with the notch in the disc.
Press skirt and knob together and
retighten screws so they are snug,
but be careful not to overtighten.
Re-install knob on range and
check performance. Note: After
an adjustment has been made the
“Off” and “Broil” positions will
not line up with the indicator mark
on the control panel as they
previously did. This condition
is normal and will not create
a problem.
