How to Remove Packaging Tape
To assure no damage is done to the finish of the
product, the safest way to remove packaging tape
adhesive on new appliances is an application of a
household liquid
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.

The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic
Enforcement Act
SAFETY NOTICE
requires the Governor of
California to publish a list of substances known
to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn
customers of potential exposure to such substances.
● Gas appliances can cause minor exposure
to four of these substances, namely benzene,
carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused
primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural
gas or LP fuels. Properly adjusted burners,
indicated by a bluish rather than a yellow flame,
will minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure
to these substances can be minimized further by
venting with an open window or using a
ventilation fan or hood.

Oven Light
The oven light comes on automatically when the oven door is opened. Use the

Oven Vent
When the oven is on, heated air moves through a vent
behind the grille. See the Features of Your Oven
section.
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.
NOTE: A fan may automatically turn on and off
to cool internal parts. This is normal and the fan may
continue to run even after the oven is turned off.

Oven Shelves
The shelves are designed with stop-locks so when
placed correctly on the shelf supports, they will
stop before coming completely out of the oven and
will not tilt when you are removing food from them
or placing food on them.
When placing cookware on a shelf, pull the shelf out
to the “stop” position. Place the cookware on the
shelf, then slide the shelf back into the oven. This will
eliminate reaching into the hot oven.
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

Pan Placement
For even cooking and proper browning, there must be
enough room for air circulation in the oven. Baking

or to the back of the oven.
Pans should not touch each other or the walls of the
oven. Allow 1- to 1

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 and Answers
Q. When broiling, is it necessary to always
use a rack in the pan?
A. Yes.
Q.
A. No.
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.
Should I salt the meat before broiling?
Salt draws out the juices and allows them to

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

TO CLEAN THE DOOR:
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 scouring 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
fitting oven door gasket is essential for
efficient oven operation and good baking results.
If you notice the gasket becoming worn, frayed or
damaged in any way or
on the door, you should have it replaced.
NOTE: The gasket is designed with a gap at
the bottom to allow for proper air circulation.

The oven bottom has a porcelain enamel finish.
To make cleaning easier, protect the oven bottom
from excessive spillovers. This is particularly
important when baking a fruit pie or other foods with
high acid content. Hot fruit fillings or foods that are
acidic (such as milk, tomatoes or sauerkraut, and
sauces with vinegar or lemon juice) may cause pitting
and damage to the porcelain enamel surface.
To protect the oven bottom surface, place a piece
of aluminum
or a small cookie sheet on a lower shelf or under the
baking dish to catch any spillovers. It should not
completely cover the shelf as this would cause uneven
heat in the oven. Aluminum foil should not be placed
on the oven bottom.
If a spillover does occur on the oven bottom,
allow the oven to cool first. You can clean the oven
bottom with soap and water, a mild abrasive cleanser
or soap-filled abrasive pads. Rinse well

MINOR ADJUSTMENTS YOU CAN MAKE
Adjusting Orifice Hoods
Check the inner cones of the flames. The inner
cone of the flames should be about 1/2” long. If the
flames are not right, use a l/2° open-end wrench or
adjustable joint pliers to adjust the orifice hood.
WARNING: If you attempt to measure the
inner cone of the flame, please use caution.
Burns could result.
To shorten the cones, tighten the orifice hood
by turning in the “LP” direction. To lengthen the
cones, loosen the orifice hood by turning in the
“Nat.” direction.
