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.

Write down the model and serial numbers.

You’ll find them on a label on the front frame behind the storage drawer.

These numbers are also on the Consumer Product Ownership Registration Card that came with your oven. Before sending in this card, numbers here:

If you received a damaged oven...

Immediately contact the dealer (or builder) that sold you the oven.

Save time and money. Before you request service...

Check the Problem Solver in the back of this guide. It lists causes of minor operating problems that you can correct yourself.

YOU NEED SERVICE

To obtain service, see the Consumer Services page in the back of this guide.

To obtain replacement parts, contact Service Centers.

We’re proud of our service and want you to be pleased. If for some reason you are not happy with the service you receive, here are three steps to follow for further help.

FIRST, contact the people who serviced your appliance. Explain why you are not pleased. In most cases, this will solve the problem.

NEXT, if you are still not pleased, write all the details—including your phone number—to:

WARNING: If the information in this guide is not followed exactly, a fire or explosion may result causing property damage, personal injury or death.

— Do not store or use gasoline or other

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

— WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS

●

Do not try to light any appliance.

Do not touch any electrical switch; do

not use any phone in your building.

●

Immediately call your gas supplier from

a neighbor’s phone. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.

●

If you cannot reach your gas supplier,

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.

●

Do not touch the interior surface of the oven.

These surfaces may be hot enough to burn even though they are dark in color. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact surface units, areas nearby surface units or any interior area of the oven; allow sufficient time for cooling, first.

Potentially hot surfaces include the oven vent openings, surfaces near the opening and crevices

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. Such cloths can catch fire on a hot burner.

●

Always keep dish towels, dish cloths, pot

holders and other linens a safe distance from your oven.

Always keep wooden and plastic utensils and

canned food a safe distance away from your oven.

●

Do not use water on grease fires,

●

When broiling,

if meat is too close to the flame, the fat may ignite. Trim excess fat to prevent excessive flare-ups.

Q. Why is my roast crumbling when I try to

Roasts are easier to slice if allowed to cool 10 to

ROASTING GUIDE

Frozen Roasts

Frozen roasts of beef, pork, lamb, etc., can be started without thawing, but allow 10 to 25 minutes pound additional time (10 minutes per pound for r

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.

When buying a roast, are there any special tips

that would help me cook it more evenly?

A. Yes.

Buy a roast as even

thickness as possible,

buy rolled roasts.

Q. Can I seal the sides of my foil “tent” when

roasting a turkey?

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 Some

BROILING

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.

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

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.

A. No.

Using the rack suspends the meat over the

pan. As the meat cooks, the juices fall into the pan,

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

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

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

sauces with vinegar or lemon juice) may cause pitting

To protect the oven bottom surface, place a piece

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.
