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.

Troubleshooting Tips
■ 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.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Operating Instructions Safety InstructionsConsumer Support Troubleshooting Tips
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.
COOK MEAT AND POULTRY THOROUGHLY…
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
WARNING: NEVER use this
appliance as a space heater to heat or
warm the room. Doing so may result
in carbon monoxide poisoning and
overheating of the oven.
■ 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 oven
bottoms. Improper installation of aluminum
foil may result in a risk of electric shock
or fire.
■ 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.

Troubleshooting Tips
Stand away from the oven when opening the door of a hot oven. The hot air and steam that escape can
cause burns to hands, face and eyes.
OVEN
■ Always remove any 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 a 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 a broiler pan is in place correctly
to reduce the possibility of grease fires.
■ If you should have a grease fire in a 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.
OVEN
WARNING: NEVER cover
any slots, holes or passages in the oven
bottom or cover an entire rack with
materials such as aluminum foil. Doing
so blocks air flow through the oven and
may cause carbon monoxide poisoning.
Aluminum foil linings may also trap
heat, causing a fire hazard.

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 shiny,
silver-colored oven shelves (on some models)
and all 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.
