How to Remove Packaging Tape
To assure no damage is done to the finish of the product, the safest way to remove a packaging tape adhesive on new appliances is an application of a household liquid dishwashing detergent, mineral oil or cooking oil. Apply with a soft cloth and allow to soak. Wipe dry and then apply an appliance polish to thoroughly clean and protect the surface.
NOTE: The plastic tape must be removed from the chrome trim on oven parts. It cannot be removed if it is baked on.
Write down the model and serial numbers.
You’ll find them on a label on the front frame behind the broiler drawer.
These numbers are also on the Consumer Product Ownership Registration Card that came with your oven. Before sending in this card, please write these numbers here:
Model Number
Serial Number
Use these numbers in any correspondence or service
calls
concerning your oven.
If you received a damaged oven...
Immediately contact the dealer (or builder) that sold you the oven.

IMPORTANT SAFETY
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic
Enforcement Act
requires the Governor of
NOTICE
California to publish a list of substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses
to
customers of potential exposure to such substances.
Gas appliances can cause minor exposure
to four of these substances,
namely benzene, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas or LP fuels. Properly adjusted burners, indicated by a bluish rather than a yellow flame, will minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized further by venting with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood.
When You Get Your Oven
Have the installer show you the location of
the oven gas cut-off valve and how to shut it
off if necessary.

grounded by a qualified installer,
with the Installation Instructions. Any adjustment and service should be performed only by qualified gas range installers or service technicians.
Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of
your oven unless it is specifically recommended in this guide.
All other servicing should be
referred to a qualified technician.
Be sure all packaging materials are removed
from the oven
before operating it, to prevent fire or smoke damage should the packaging material ignite.
Be sure the oven is securely installed in a
cabinet that is firmly attached to the house structure.
Never allow anyone to climb, sit, stand
or hang on the oven door.
Be sure your oven is correctly adjusted by a
qualified service technician or installer for the type of gas (Natural or LP) on which it is to be used.
Your oven can be converted for use on
either type of gas. See the Installation Instructions.

Before Using Your Oven
USING YOUR OVEN
1.
Look at the controls. Be sure you understand how to set them properly. Read over the directions for the Oven Controls so you understand how to use them.
2. Check the inside of the oven. Look at the shelves. Take a practice run at removing and replacing them properly, to give sure, sturdy support.
3. Read over the information and tips that follow.

Automatic Ignition
The oven burner is lighted by electric ignition.
To light the burner, touch BAKE or BROIL and press the INCREASE or DECREASE pad until the desired temperature is displayed. The burner should ignite within 60 seconds.
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.
NOTE:
You may notice a “burning” or “oily” smell the first
few times you turn your oven on. This is normal in a
new oven and will disappear in a short time.
A fan may automatically turn on and off to cool
internal parts. This is normal and the fan may
continue to run even after the oven is turned off.
Power Outage
The oven burner will not light in the event of an electrical power outage. Do not attempt to it manually with a match.
light
Oven Light
Use the switch on the control panel to turn the light on and off when the door is closed.
Oven Vent
When the oven is on, heated air moves through a vent below the control panel.
The vent area could get hot during oven use.
The vent is needed for proper air flow in the oven and good baking results. Do not block this vent. Doing so may cause oven failure or fire.
Oven Shelves
The shelves are designed with stop-locks so when placed correctly on the shelf supports, they will stop before coming completely out of the oven and will not tilt when you are removing food from them or placing food on them.
When placing cookware on a shelf, pull the shelf out to the bump on the shelf support. Place the cookware on the shelf, 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

When using prepared baking mixes, follow package recipe or instructions for the best baking results.
Guides
Cookies
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. Never entirely cover a shelf with a large cookie sheet.
For best results, use only one cookie sheet in the oven at a time.
Pies
For best results, bake pies in dark, rough or dull pans to produce a browner, crisper crust. Frozen pies in foil

Cakes
When baking cakes, warped or bent pans will cause uneven baking results and poorly shaped products.
A cake baked in a pan larger than the recipe than it should be. If baked in a pan smaller than

Aluminum Foil
Never entirely cover a shelf with aluminum foil. This

Most meats continue to cook slightly while standing, after being removed from the oven. Standing time recommended for roasts is 10 to 20 minutes. This allows roasts to firm up and makes them easier to carve. Internal temperature will rise about 5° to 10”F.; to compensate for temperature increase, if desired, remove the roast from the oven sooner (at 5° to 10°F. less than the temperature 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.

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 the Roasting Guide. For roasts over 8 lbs., check with thermometer
at half-hour intervals after half the cooking 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 them from the oven.
Be sure to cut across the grain of the meat.
(continued)
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 1 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.

oroiling is cooking food by direct heat from above
the food. Your oven 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 compartment-A (bottom of broiler compartment), B (middle) and C (top).
How to Broil
1.
If the meat has fat or gristle around the edge, cut vertical slashes through it about 2 inches apart. If desired, the fat may be trimmed, leaving a about l/8-inch thick.
2. Remove the broiler pan and rack from the broiler
compartment and place the food on the rack.
3. Pull out the drawer and position the broiler pan in
the compartment placing the sump area of the broiler pan to the front
of
the drawer.
layer
Both the oven and broiler compartment doors should be closed during broiling.
Turn most foods once during broiling; (the exception is thin fillets of fish; oil one side, place that side down on the broiler rack and cook without turning until done). Time the foods for about one-half of the total cooking time, turn the food, then continue to cook to the preferred doneness.
Placing food closer to the flame increases the exterior browning of food, but also increases spattering and the possibility of fats and meat juices igniting.
4. Close the broiler door.
5. Press the BROIL pad.
6. When broiling is finished, remove the broiler pan from the compartment and serve the food immediately. Leave the pan outside the compartment to cool.
NOTE:
cool internal parts. This is normal and the fan may continue to run even after the oven is turned off.
A fan may automatically turn on and off to

Broiling Tips
Use tongs to turn meat over—pierced meat
loses juices.
Steaks and chops should beat least l-inch thick for best broiling results. Pan broil thinner ones.
Questions and Answers
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.
-Q. Should I salt the meat before broiling? . 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 the juices to escape. When broiling poultry or fish, brush each side often with butter.
Q. When broiling, is it necessary to always use
a rack 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 the meat drier. Juices are protected by the rack and stay cooler, thus
preventing excessive spatter and smoking.

For steaks and chops, slash fat evenly around the

Interior
(on some models)
With proper care, the porcelain enamel finish on the inside of the oven—top, bottom, sides, back and inside of the door— will stay new-looking for years.
Let the oven cool before cleaning. We recommend that you wear rubber gloves when cleaning the oven.
Soap and water will normally do the job. Heavy spattering or
spillovers
may require cleaning with a mild abrasive cleaner. Soapy, wet metal 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 surface. They
may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.
Household ammonia may make the cleaning job
~sier.
Place 1/2 cup in a shallow glass or pottery container in a cold oven overnight. The ammonia fumes will help loosen the burned-on grease and food.
If necessary, you may use an oven cleaner.
Follow package directions.
Cautions about using spray-on oven cleaners:
Do not
spray on the electrical controls and switches 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 sensor—it could cause the oven to heat improperly. (The sensor is located at the top of the oven.) Carefully wipe the sensor clean after each oven cleaning, being careful not to move the
sensor as a change in its position could affect how the oven bakes.
Do not spray any oven cleaner on the oven door,
handles or any exterior surface of the oven, cabinet
or painted surfaces. The cleaner can damage these
surfaces.

To Clean the Continuous-cleaning Oven:
1.
Let range parts cool before handling. We
recommend rubber gloves be worn when cleaning.
2. Remove shelves and cookware, including the broiler pan and rack.
3. Soil visibility maybe reduced by operating the
oven at 400”F. Close the door and set temperature
control to 400”F. Time for at least four hours. Repeated cycles may be necessary before improvement in appearance is apparent.
Remember: During the operation of the oven, the door, window and other oven surfaces will get hot enough to cause burns. Do not touch. Let the oven cool before replacing oven shelves.
4.
If a spillover or heavy soiling occurs on the porous
surface, as soon as the oven has cooled, remove as much of the soil as possible using a small amount of water and a stiff-bristle nylon brush. Use water 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.

MINOR ADJUSTMENTS YOU CAN MAKE
Broil and Oven Burner Air Adjustment Shutters
Air adjustment shutters for the burner regulate the flow of air to the flames.
To adjust the air shutter, remove the oven bottom (see the Care and Cleaning section). Turn the burner full on and check the flames. The burner flames should not flutter or blow away from the burner. They should be blue in color with no trace of yellow. Foreign particles in the gas line may cause an orange flame at first, but this will soon disappear. If the flames are yellow or flutter, open the air shutter more. If they blow away from the burner, close the air shutter more.
