REMOVAL OF PACKAGING TAPE
To remove the adhesive residue left from packaging tape, use household dishwashing liquid,
mineral oil or cooking oil. With a soft cloth, rub into the area and allow to soak. Rinse and dry well.
Repeat procedure using an appliance polish to insure no damage is done to the oven. Packaging tape
can be found in the following areas: Control Panel Area, Door Handle, Door Trim and Oven Area.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING!
For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or explosion,
electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury or loss of life.
Have the installer show you the location of the oven gas shut-off valve and how to shut it off if necessary.
■Have your oven installed and properly
grounded by a qualified installer, in
accordance with the Installation Instructions.
Any adjustment and service should be
performed only by qualified gas oven
installers or service technicians.
■Do not attempt to repair or replace any
part of your oven unless it is specifically
recommended in this manual. All other
service 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.
■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 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 around the door.
Remember:
The inside surfaces of an oven may
be hot when the door is opened.
■Be sure your oven is correctly adjusted by a
qualified service technician or installer for
the type of gas (natural or LP) that is to be
used. Your oven can be converted for use
with either type of gas. See the Installation
Instructions.
■
WARNING:
These adjustments must
be made by a qualified service technician in
accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions and all codes and requirements
of the authority having jurisdiction. Failure
to follow these instructions could result in
serious injury or property damage. The
qualified agency performing this work
assumes responsibility for the conversion.
■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.
■Do not leave children alone or unattended
where an oven is hot or in operation. They
could be seriously burned.
■Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang
on the oven door or storage drawer. They
could damage the oven.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
IMPORTANT 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 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 by venting with an open
window or using a ventilation fan or hood.
Operating Instructions Safety InstructionsCustomer Service Troubleshooting Tips
■Do not use the oven for a storage area. Items
stored in the oven can ignite.
■Keep the oven vent ducts unobstructed.
■Keep the oven free from grease buildup.
■Place the oven shelves in the desired position
while the oven is cool.
■Pulling out the shelf to the stop-lock is a
convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also
a precaution against burns from touching
hot surfaces of the door or oven walls.
■Do not heat unopened food containers.
Pressure could build up and the container
could burst, causing an injury.
■Never use aluminum foil to line the oven
bottom. Improper use of foil could start a fire.
■Do not use aluminum foil anywhere in the
oven except as described in this manual.
Misuse could result in a fire hazard or
damage to the oven.
■When using cooking or roasting bags in the
oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.
■Do not use your oven to dry newspapers.
If overheated, they can catch fire.
■Use only glass cookware that is
recommended for use in gas ovens.

■
CAUTION:
Items of interest to
children should not be stored in cabinets
above an oven—children climbing on the
oven to reach items could be seriously
injured.
■For your safety, never use your appliance
for warming or heating the room.
■Never wear loose fitting or hanging garments
while using the appliance. Be careful when
reaching for items stored in cabinets over the
oven. Flammable material could be ignited if
brought in contact with flame or hot oven
surfaces and may cause severe burns.
■Do not store flammable materials in the oven
or storage drawer.
■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 oven.
■Do not use water on grease fires. Smother fire
or flame or use a multi-purpose dry chemical
or foam-type fire extinguisher.
■Flame in the oven can be smothered
completely by closing the oven door and
turning the oven off or by using a multipurpose dry chemical or foam-type fire
extinguisher.
■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. 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 leave paper products, cooking
utensils or food in the oven when not in use.

cause burns to hands, face and eyes.

Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160°F. and poultry to at least an
INTERNAL temperature of 180°F. Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against foodborne illness.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
■Be sure to wipe up excess spillage before
self-cleaning operation.
■Before self-cleaning the oven, remove
the shelves, broiler pan, grid and
other cookware.
■Do not clean the door gasket. The door
gasket is essential for a good seal. Care
should be taken not to rub, damage or
move the gasket.
■Clean only parts listed in this Owner’s Manual.
■If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions, turn
the oven off and disconnect the power supply.
Have it serviced by a qualified technician.
■Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial
oven cleaner or oven liner of any kind should
be used in or around any part of the oven.
Residue from oven cleaners will damage
the inside of the oven when the self-clean
cycle is used.
SELF-CLEANING OVEN
Operating Instructions Safety InstructionsCustomer Service Troubleshooting Tips
■Always remove the broiler pan from oven 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 close 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 the oven off, and keep the oven
door closed to contain fire until it burns out.
■Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings in or
near your oven.
