How to Remove Packaging Tape

To assure no damage is done to the finish of the product, the safest way to remove adhesive left from

packaging tape 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 of the oven behind the door. These numbers are also on the

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read all instructions before using this appliance.

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 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

vetoing with an open window or using a

ventilation fan or hood.

When You Get Your Oven

• Have the installer show vou the location of the oven gas cut-off valve and how to shut it

off if necessary.

USING YOUR OVEN

Before Using Your Oven

1. Look at the controls. Be sure you understand how to set them properly.

2. Check the oven interior. 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.

4. Keep this guide handy so you can refer to it, especially during the first weeks of using your

new oven.

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. To speed the process, set a self-clean cycle for 4 hours.

See the Operating the Self-Cleaning Oven section.

• A cooling fan may automatically turn on and offto cool internal parts. This is normal, and the fan may

continue to run even after the oven is turned off.

Automatic Ignition

The oven burner is lit by electric ignition. To light the burner, press the pad for the desired

function and press the TEMP + or - pads 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.

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.

Power Outage

The oven burner will not light in the event of an electrical power outage. Do not attempt to light it manually with a match.

Oven Shelves

The shelves are designed with stop-locks so that, 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

the shelf 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

extension of the shelf) facing up and toward the rear of the oven. Tilt up the front and push the shelf

toward the back of the oven until it goes past the bump on the shelf support. Then lower the front of

the shelf and push it all the way back.

Bump

USING YOUR OVEN

(continued)

Shelf Positions

The oven has 4 shelf supports, identified in this illustration as A (bottom), B, C and D (top).

Shelf positions for cooking are suggested in the Baking, Roasting and Broiling sections.

Oven Moisture

As your oven heats up, the changing temperature of the air in the oven may cause water droplets to form on the door glass. These droplets are harmless

and will evaporate as the oven continues to heat up.

BAKING

Your oven temperature is controlled very accurately using an oven control system. It is recommended that

you operate the oven for a number of weeks to become familiar with your new oven's performance.

How to Set Your Oven for BaMng

To avoid possible burns, place the shelves in the correct position before you turn the oven on.

1. Press BAKE.

2. Press the TEMP + or - pads to set the

TEMP

oven temperature.

3. Press START. When the oven starts to heat the changing temperature will be in

the display. (The display starts changing once the temperature reaches 100°F.)

4. Press CLEAR/OFF when the baking

is finished.

If you think an adjustment is necessary, see the Adjust the Oven Thermostat section. It lists easy Do B

_)urselfinstructions on how to adjust the thermostat.

NOTE: A cooling 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.

To change the oven temperature during the

Bake cycle, press the BAKE pad and set the new temperature.

Page 13

Oven Shelves

Arrange the oven shelf or shelves in

the desired locations while the oven is

cool. The correct shelf position

depends on the kind of food and the

browning desired. As a general rule,

place most foods in the middle of the oven, on either shelf position B or C. See the chart for suggested shelf positions.

Preheating

Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it. Preheat means bringing the oven up to the specified

temperature before putting the food in the oven. To preheat, set the oven at the correct temperature--

selecting a higher temperature does not shorten preheat time.

Type of Food Shelf Position

Angel food cake A Biscuits or muffins B or C

Cookies or cupcakes B or C

Brownies B or C

Layer cakes B or C Bundt or pound cakes A or B

Pies or pie shells B or C Frozen pies A (on cookie sheet)

Casseroles B or C

Roasting A or B

Preheating is necessary for good results when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and breads. For most casseroles

and roasts, preheating is not necessary. For ovens without a preheat indicator light or tone, preheat 10

minutes. After the oven is preheated, place the food in the oven as quickly as possible to prevent heat

from escaping.

Baking Pans

Use the proper baking pan. The type of finish on the pan determines the amount of browning that will occur.

• Dark, rough or dull pans absorb heat resulting in a browner, crisper crust. Use this type for pies.

• Shiny, bright and smooth pans reflect heat, resulting in a lighter, more delicate browning. Cakes and

cookies require this type of pan.

• Glass baking dishes also absorb heat. When baking in glass baking dishes, the temperature may need to

be reduced by 25°F.

• If you are using dark non-stick pans, you may find that you need to reduce the oven temperature 25°1=. to prevent over-browning.

Pan Placement

For even cooking and proper browning, there must be enough room for air circulation in the oven. Baking results will be better if baking pans are centered as

much as possible rather than being placed to the front or to the back of the oven.

Pans should not touch each other or the wails of the oven. Allow 1- to 1½-inch space between pans as well

as from the back of the oven, the door and the sides. If you need to use two shelves, stagger the pans so one

is not directly above the other.

(continued next page)

Page 14

BAKING

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 during baking, use only one cookie

sheet in the oven at a time.

(continued)

Pies

For best results, bake pies in dark, rough or dull pans to produce a browner, crisper crust. Frozen pies in foil

pans should be placed on an aluminum cookie sheet for baking since the shiny foil pan reflects heat away

from the pie crust; the cookie sheet helps retain it.

Aluminum Foil

Never entirely cover a shelf with aluminum foil. This will disturb the heat circulation and result in poor

baking. A smaller sheet of foil may be used to catch a spillover by placing it on a lower shelf several inches

below the food.

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 recommends will usually be crisper, thinner and drier

than it should be. If baked in a pan smaller than recommended, it may be undercooked and batter may

overflow. Check the recipe to make sure the pan size used is the one recommended.

Don't Peek

Set the timer for the estimated cooking time and do not open the door to look at your food. Most recipes

provide minimum and maximum baking times such as "bake 30-40 minutes."

DO NOT open the door to check until the minimum time. Opening the oven door frequently

during cooking allows heat to escape and makes

baking times longer. Your baking results may also be affected.

Page 15

TIMED BAKING

How to Set Your Oven for Time Bake

The oven control allows you to turn the oven on or off automatically at specific times that you set. Examples of Immediate Start (oven turns on now and you set it

to turn off automatically at the end of cooking time) and Delay Start and Stop (setting the oven to turn on

automatically at a later time and turn off after a preset cooking time) will be described.

NOTE: Before beginning make sure the clock shows the correct time of day.

To set the clock, first press CLOCK.Press the HOUR and MIN + or - pads to

set the time of day. Press START.

How to Set Immediate Start and Automatic Stop

To avoid possible burns, place the shelves in the correct position before you turn the oven on.

The oven will turn on immediately and cook for a selected length of time. At the end of cooking time,

the oven will turn off automatically.

ADJUST THE OVEN THERMOSTAT

DO IT YOURSELF!

You may find that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. We recommend that you

use your new oven for a few weeks to become more familiar with it, following the times given in your

recipes as a guide. If you think your new oven is too hot or too cool,

you can adjust the thermostat yourself. If you think it is too hot, adjust the thermostat to make it cooler. If

you think it is too cool, adjust the thermostat to make it hotter.

We do not recommend the use of inexpensive thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores,

to check the temperature setting of your new oven. These thermometers may vary 20-40 degrees.

To Adjust the Thermostat:

1. Press BAKE and BROIL HI/LO at the same time for 2 seconds until

the display shows "SE"

2. Press BAKE. A two digit number shows in the display.

3. The oven temperature can be

TEMP

NOTE: This adjustment will not affect the broiling or self-cleaning temperatures. It will be retained in

memory after a power failure.

adjusted up to (+) 35°F. hotter or (-) 35°F. cooler. Press the TEMP +

pad to increase the temperature

in 1 degree increments. Press the TEMP - pad to decrease the

temperature in 1 degree increments.

4. When you have made the adjustment, press START to go

back to the time of day display. Use your oven as you would

normally.

ROASTING

Roasting is cooking by dry heat. Tender meat or poultry can be roasted uncovered in your oven. Roasting temperatures, which should be low and

steady, keep spattering to a minimum. Roasting is really a baking procedure used for meats.

Therefore, the oven controls are set for Baking or Timed Baking. (You may hear a slight clicking sound,

indicating the oven is working properly.) Timed Baking will turn the oven on and off automatically.

How to Set Your Oven for Roasting

1. Place the shelf in A or B position. No preheating is necessary.

2. Check the weight of the meat. Place the meat fat

side up, or poultry breast side up, on

roasting grid in a shallow pan. The

melting fat will baste the meat. Select a pan

as close to the size of the meat as possible.

(The broiler pan with grid is a good pan for this.)

Most meats continue to cook slightly after being removed from the oven. The internal temperature

will rise about 5° to 10°E during the recommended standing time of 10 to 20 minutes. This allows

roasts to firm up and makes them easier to carve. To compensate for this rise in temperature, you may

want to remove the roast 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.

3. Press BAKE.

4. Press the TEMP + or - pads to set

TEMP

the temperature.

5. Press START.

6. Press CLEAR/OFF when roasting is finished.

Use of Aluminum Foil

You can use aluminum foil to line the broiler pan. This makes clean-up easier when using the pan for

marinating, cooking with fruits, cooking heavily cured meats or basting food during cooking. Press

the foil tightly around the inside of the pan.

To change the oven temperature during the roasting cycle, press BAKE and set the new

temperature.

Page 19

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 l0 to

20 minutes after removing them from the oven. Be sure to cut across the grain of the meat.

ROASTING GUIDE

Frozen Roasts

Frozen roasts of beef, pork, lamb, etc., can be started without thawing, but allow 10 to 25 minutes per

pound additional time (10 minutes per pound for roasts 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. 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 I 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.

Make sure poultry is thawed before roasting. Unthawed poultry often does not cook evenly.

Some commercial frozen poultry can be cooked successfully without thawing. Follow the directions

given on the package label.

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.

If the meat has fat or gristle around the edge, cut vertical slashes through both about 2 inches apart. If desired, the fat may be trimmed, leaving a layer about

1/8 inch thick.

Place the meat on the broiler grid in the broiler pan. Always use the grid so the fat drips into the broiler

pan; otherwise the juices may become hot enough to catch on fire.

Position the broiler pan on a shelf on the recormnended shelf position as suggested in the Broiling Guide.

Place the sump area of the broiler pan to the front of the door.

How to Set Your Oven for Broiling

1. Press BROIL HI/LO.

2. Press BROIL HI/LO again (alternates between LO Broil and HI Broil).

Broiling should always be done with the oven

door closed.

Turn the food using tongs only once during broiling. Time the foods for the first side according to the

Broiling Guide. Turn the food, then use the times given for the second

side as a guide to the preferred doneness. To test if your broiler is working properly: Cover the

entire broiler pan grid with bread. Place the broiler pan on the third shelf from the bottom. Broil until the bread

is golden brown. If you have browning on both sides of the pan, your broiler is worldng properly. If toast

browns only on one side of the pan, call for service.

3. Press START.

4. Press CLEAWOFF when broiling

is finished.

Use of Aluminum Foil

You can use aluminum foil to line your broiler pan and broiler grid. However, you must mold the foil tightly to the grid and cut slits in

it just like the grid. Without the slits, the foil will prevent fat and meat juices from draining

into 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. Are there blue flames on both sides of the

broil burner?

A. Yes, but the bright orange glow of the burner

igniter may make the flame difficult to see. If you cannot see the flame on both sides and feel your broil burner is not functioning properly, try the

"toast test."

Q. When broiling, is it necessary to always use a

grid in the pan?

A. Yes. Using the grid 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 grid

and stay cooler, thus preventing excessive spatter and smoking.

Q. Should I salt the meat before broiling? A. No. Salt draws out the juices and allows them to

evaporate. Always salt after cooking. Piercing the meat with a fork allows juices to escape. Turn the meat with tongs instead of a fork.

Page 21

BROILING GUIDE

• Always use the broiler pan and grid that comes with your oven. It is designed to minimize smoking and

spattering by trapping juices in the shielded lower part of the pan.

• Broiling should always be done with the oven

door closed.

• For steaks and chops, slash the fat evenly around the outside edges of the meat. To slash, cut crosswise through outer fat surface just to the edge of the meat.

Use tongs to turn the meat over to prevent piercing the meat and losing juices.

• When arranging the food on the pan, do not let fatty edges hang over sides because dripping fat will soil

the oven bottom.

• The broiler does not need to be preheated. However, for very thin foods, or to increase browning, preheat

if desired.

• Use LO Broil to cook foods such as poultry or thick pork chops evenly without over-browning them.

• Frozen steaks can be broiled by positioning the oven shelf at next lowest shelf position and increasing

cooking time given in this guide 1½ times per side.

• If desired, marinate meats or chicken before broiling or brush with barbecue sauce last 5 to 10 minutes only.

OPERATING THE SELF-CLEANING OVEN

Normal Cleaning Time: 4 hours

Before a Clean Cycle

1. Remove the broiler pan, broiler grid, all cookware

and any aluminmn foil from the oven--they can not withstand the high cleaning temperatures.

NOTE: The oven shelves may be cleaned in the self-cleaning oven. However, they will darken, lose

their luster and become hard to slide. Wipe the shelf supports with cooking oil after self-cleaning

to make shelves slide more easily.

2. Wipe up heavy soil on the oven bottom. If you

use soap, rinse thoroughly before self-cleaning to prevent staining.

Clean spatters or soil on the oven front frame and the oven door outside the gasket with a dampened

cloth. The oven front frame and the oven door outside the gasket do not get cleaned by the self-

clean cycle. On these areas, use detergent and hot water or a soap-filled steel wool pad. Rinse well

with a vinegar and water solution. This will help prevent a brown residue from forming when the oven is heated. Buff these areas with a dry cloth.

Do not clean the gasket. Clean the outside front of the oven door with

soap and water. Also use soap and water to clean under the oven vent grille. Do not use abrasives

or oven cleaners. Make sure the oven light bulb cover is in place.

Do not rub or clean the door gasket-- the fiberglass material of the gasket has an

extremely low resistance to abrasion. An intact and well-fitting oven door gasket is essential for

energy-efficient oven operation and good baking results. If you notice the gasket becoming worn,

frayed or damaged in any way or if it has become displaced on the door, you should have it replaced.

Do not let water run down through openings in the top of the door. To help prevent water from

getting in these slots when cleaning, open the door as far as it will go.

4. Close the oven door and make sure the oven light is off. If the oven light is not tinned off,

the life of the bulb will be shortened or it may burn out immediately. The door latches

automatically after the clean cycle is set.

Do not use commercial oven cleaners or oven protectors in or near the self-cleaning oven.

A combination of any of these products plus the high clean-cycle temperature may damage the

porcelain finish of the oven. Important:

The oven door must be closed and all controls must be set correctly for the cycle to work properly.

After Self-Cleaning

You may notice some white ash in the oven. Just wipe it up with a damp cloth after the oven cools.

If white spots remain, remove them with a soap-filled steel wool pad. Be sure to rinse thoroughly with a

vinegar and water mixture. These deposits are usually a salt residue that cannot be removed by the clean cycle.

If the oven is not clean after one clean cycle, repeat the cycle.

Questions and Answers

(continued)

2. When the oven has cooled below the locking

temperature and the LOCKED DOOR light goes off, open the door.

NOTE: *No functions can be programmed before the door

automatically unlocks.

, If the shelves have become hard to slide, wipe the

shelf supports with cooking oil.

Q. If my oven clock is not set to the correct time of

day, can I still self-clean my oven?

A. If the clock is not set to the correct time of day

you will not be able to set a delay-clean cycle to

end at a specific time.

Q. Can I use commercial oven cleaners on any part

of my self-cleaning oven?

A. No cleaners or coatings should be used around

any part of this oven. If you do use them and do

not thoroughly rinse the oven with water, wiping it

absolutely clean afterwards, the residue can scar the oven surface and damage metal parts the next

time the oven is automatically cleaned.

Q. What should I do if excessive smoking occurs

during cleaning?

A. This is caused by excessive soil. Turn the oven

off. Open the windows to rid the room of smoke. Wait until the oven has cooled and the words

"LOCKED DOOR" are off in the display. Wipe

up the excess soil and reset the clean cycle.

Q. Is the "crackling" or "popping" sound I hear

during cleaning normal?

A. Yes. This is the sound of the metal heating and cooling

during both the cooking and cleaning functions.

Q. Should there be any odor during the cleaning?

Yes, there will be an odor during the first few

cleanings. Failure to wipe out excessive soil might also cause a strong odor when cleaning.

What causes the hair-like lines on the enameled

surface of my oven?

This is a normal condition, resulting from heating

and cooling during cleaning. These lines do not affect how your oven performs.

Q. Why do I have ash left in my oven after

cleaning?

A. Some types of soil will leave a deposit which

is ash. It can be removed with a damp sponge or cloth.

Q. My oven shelves do not slide easily. What is

the matter?

After many cleanings, the oven shelves will lose

their luster and become hard to slide. To make shelves slide more easily wipe the shelf supports

with cooking oil.

Q. My oven shelves have become gray after the

self-clean cycle. Is this normal?

A. Yes. After the self-clean cycle, the shelves will

lose some luster and discolor to a deep gray color.

Page 25

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 your

oven to assure safe and proper maintenance.

Broiler Pan and Grid

After broiling, remove

the broiler pan from the oven. Remove the grid

from the pan. Carefully pour out grease from

the pan into a proper container. Wash and

rinse the broiler pan and grid in hot water

with a soap-filled or plastic scouring pad. If food has burned on, sprinkle the grid with detergent

while hot and cover with wet paper towels or a dishcloth. Soaking the pan will remove burned-on foods.

The broiler pan and grid may be cleaned with a commercial oven cleaner.

Both the broiler pan and grid can also be cleaned in the dishwasher.

Do not clean the broiler pan or grid in the self- cleaning oven.

Do not store a soiled broiler pan and grid anywhere in the oven.

Removable Storage Drawer

The storage drawer is a good place to store cookware and bakeware. Do not store plastics and flammable

material in the drawer. Do not overload the storage drawer. If the drawer

is too heavy, it may slip off the track when opened. To open the drawer, grasp the center of the handle and

pull straight out. To remove: Pull the drawer straight out and lift over

the guide stops. To replace: Lift over the guide stops and slide the

drawer into place. To clean both the inside and the outside: Wipe with

soap and water. Rinse well. Do not use cleansing powders or harsh abrasives

which may scratch the surface.

Oven Light Replacement

CAUTION: Before replacing your oven light bulb,

disconnect the electric power for your oven at the main fuse or circuit breaker panel.

Be sure to let the light cover and bulb cool completely before removing or replacing them. When in use, light

bulbs can become warm enough to break if touched

with a moist cloth or towel. When cleaning, avoid touching warm lights with cleaning cloths if the light

cover is removed. The oven light (bulb) is covered with a removable

glass cover which is held in place with a wire. Remove the oven door, if desired, to reach the cover easily.

To remove:

• Hold your hand under the cover so it doesn't

fall when released. With fingers of the same hand,

firmly push back the wire cover holder. Lift

off the cover.

DO NOT REMOVE ANY SCREWS.

• Replace bulb with 40-watt home appliance bulb.

To replace cover:

• Place it into the groove of the light receptacle. Pull the wire forward to the center of cover until it snaps

in place. When in place, the wire holds the cover firmly. Be certain the wire is in the depression in the

center of the cover.

• Connect electric power to the oven.

Wire cover holder

Page 26

Removable Oven Bottom

CARE AND CLEANING

(continued)

The oven bottom can be removed to clean large spills, and to enable you to reach the oven burner. Oven bottom must be replaced before using the

self-clean cycle.

Unlock Lock

TO REMOVE:

1. Slide the tab at the center front of the oven bottom

to the left.

2. Lift the oven bottom up and out. TO REPLACE:

1. Slip the oven bottom into the oven so the tabs in

the rear of the oven bottom fit into the slots in the oven back.

2. Lower the front of the oven bottom into place and slide the front tab to the right to lock the oven

bottom into place.

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 foil slightly larger than the baking dish

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 to remove any soap before self-cleaning.

Oven Shelves

shelves may

The oven be cleaned

with a mild abrasive cleanser or steel wool. After cleaning, rinse

the shelves with clean water and dry with a clean cloth. NOTE: The oven shelves may be cleaned in the

self-cleaning oven. However, they will darken, lose their luster and become hard to slide. Wipe the shelf

supports with cooking oil after self-cleaning to make the shelves slide more easily.

Control Panel

It's a good idea to wipe the control panel after each use. Clean with mild soap and water or vinegar and

water, rinse with clean water and polish dry with a soft cloth.

Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong liquid cleaners, plastic scouring pads or oven cleansers

on the control panel--they will damage the finish. A 50/50 solution of vinegar and hot water works well.

Page 27

Lift-Off Oven Door

The oven door is removable, but it is heavy.

You may need help removing and replacing

the door. Do not lift the door by the handle. This

can cause the glass to break or can cause

damage to the door. To remove the door,

open it a few inches to the special stop position that will hold the door open. Grasp firmly on each side

and lift the door straight up and offthe hinges. NOTE:

• Be careful not to place hands between the hinge and

the oven door frame as the hinge could snap back and pinch fingers.

• While working in the oven area, cover the hinges

with towels or empty paper towel rolls to prevent pinched fingers and chipping the porcelain enamel

on the frame.

To replace the door, make sure the hinges are in the special stop position. Position the slots in the bottom

of the door squarely over the hinges. Then lower the door slowly and evenly over both hinges at the same

time. If the hinges snap back against the oven frame, pull them back out.

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 soap-filled 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 well-

fitting oven door gasket is essential for energy- efficient oven operation and good baking results.

If you notice the gasket becoming worn, frayed or damaged in any way or if it has become displaced

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.

Inside gasket

Gasket

Outside gasket

Outside of the door:

Use soap and water to thoroughly clean the top, sides and front of the oven door. DO NOT let water

run down the openings in the top of the door. Rinse well. You may also use a glass cleaner to clean the

glass on the outside of the door.

Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces

and basting materials containing acids may cause discoloration and should be wiped up immediately.

When the surface is cool, clean and rinse. Do not use oven cleaners, cleansing powders or

harsh abrasives on the outside of the door.

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 1/2" 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.

Broil and Oven Burner Air Adjustment Shutters

Nat.

To shorten the cones, tighten the orifice hood by turning in the "L.R" direction. To lengthen the

cones, loosen the orifice hood by turning in the "Nat." direction.

Air adjustment shutters for the broil and oven burners regulate the flow of air to the flame.

All ovens are factory adjusted for use with the natural gas used in most areas. But, since the gas in some areas

may be different, you should check all adjustn_ents described. If you are using LP gas, all the adjustments

must be made. The air adjustment

shutter for the top burner is in the center

of the rear wall of the oven.

The shutter for the bottom burner is near

the back wall. Remove the oven bottom for access.

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. See the illustration in the Problem Solver of this guide for correct flame appearance.

_ Loosen

_! Ai,

tli_ adjustment

._ shutter

To adjust the flow of air to either burner, loosen the Phillips head screw and rotate the shutter to allow

more or less air into the burner tube as needed.

The flames for the top (broil) burner should

burn steady with approximately 1" blue

cones and should not extend out over the

edges of the burner

baffle.

To determine if the bottom burner flames

are proper, remove oven bottom and the

burner baffle. The flames should have ._

1/2" to 3/4" blue cones

with no yellow tipping. When the baffle is

back in place, the flames will resettle.

Visually check the color of the flames every 6 months. If they look like illustration (A) on the Problem

Solver in this guide, call for service.

When checking the flames, before and after

adjustments, the oven door should be closed.
