Roastingiscookingbydryheat. Tendermeat or poultry can be

roasteduncoveredinyouroven. Roastingtemperatures,which shouldbe low and steady,keep spatteringto a minimum.When

roasting,itis not necessarytosear, baste,coveror add water~oyour meat.

The ovenhas a speciallowshelf(R) position just abovethe oven bottom. Use it when extra cooking space is needed—forexample,when roasting

a large turkey.

RoastingGuide

Roastingiseasy,just followthese

steps:

Step 1:Positionovenshelfat (B) positionfor smallroasts(3 to 5 pounds) and at (A)positionfor largerroasts.

Step 2: Check weightof roast. Placemeatfat-side-upor poultry

breast-side-upon roastingrack in a shallowpan. The meltingfatwill bastethemeat. Selecta pan as close tothesizeof the meat as possible. ~roder pan withrackis a good

pan forthis.)

Step 3: Turn OVENSET knob to BA~ or TIRIE BAKE and OVEN TEMP knob todesiredtemperature.

Check the RoastingGuide for temperaturesand approximate cookingtimes.

Step 4: Most meatscontinue to cook slightlywhilestandingafier being removed from the oven. Recommended standingtime for roasts is 10to 20 minutes. This allowsroasts to firm up and makes themeasier to carve. Internal

temperaturewillrise about5°to

10”F.;tocompensatefortemperature rise, if desired, removetheroast fromthe ovenwhen its internal temperatureis5°to IO”F.less than temperatureshownin the Roasting Guide.

Frozenroastsofbeef, pork, lamb, etc., can be roasted without thawing,but allow H to25 minutes additional time

perpound(allowM minutesadditionaltimeperpound forroastsunder

time per pound for larger roasts). Thawmost frozenpoultry before

roastingto ensure evendone~~ess.

Somecommercial frozen poultry can be cooked successfullywithout thawing.Followdirectionsgiven on packer’slabel.

This allowsmore than one food

to be cooked at the same time. For example:Whfleroastinga 20-pound turkey on shelf R, a second shelf maybe positioned on sl~elfsupport

with clean water and dry with a soft cloth. If youwish, occasionally applya thin coat of mild cleaning waxto help protect the finish.

There are a number of precautions you can taketo avoidmarring the porcelain enamel surface of the cooktopand prevent it from becomingdull. Don’tslide heavy

pans across it. If you spill foods

with a lot of acid (tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruitjuices, etc.) or foodswith high sugar content,

clean them up as soon as possible. If allowed to set, these foods could

callsea dull spot. Also, no matter how stubborn the food stain, never use harsh abrasive cleansers. They could permanently damage tl~e

Togetrid of burned-on food, soak the grates in a slightlydiluted liquidcleaner.

Although they’redurable, the grates will gradually lose their shine, regardless ofthe best care

youcan give them. This is due to their continual exposureto high temperatures.

ANSI Z223. 1, latest editioi~.

This range has been design-certifiedbythe Ameriun GasAssociationaccordingto

Z21.1, latest edition. As with any appliance using gas and generating heat, there are certain safety precautions you should follow.You will find these

precautions on pages 2-5. Read them carefully.

QHave your range installed by a qualified installer

or selwice technician.

ANSI

~Yourrange must be electricallygroundedin accordancewith Iocalcodesor,in the absenceof localcodes,in accordancewith the National ElectricalCode(ANSI/NFPA70,latest edition). See Groundingon page 26.

@Beforeinstallingyour range onlinoleumor any

other synthetic floorcovering,make sure the floor coveringcan withstand 180°F.withoutshrinking, warping or discoloring.Donot installthe range

overcarpeting unless a sheet of l/4-inch thick p~ywoodor similarinsulator is placed between

the range and carpeting. @.Makesure the wallcoveringsaround the range

can withstand heat generated by the range up to

Zoo°F. @

Avoidplacingcabinets abovethe range. To reduce the hazard caused byreaching overthe openflames ofoperating burners, installa ventilationhood overthe range that projects Forwardat Ieast 5 inches beyondthe front of the =binets.

~The ventilating hood must be constructed of ;heetmetal not less than 0.0122-inchthick (No.28 J.S. Standard gage).Install abovethe cooking top vitha clearance of not less than 1/4inchbetween he hood and the underside ofthe combustible llaterialor metal mbinet. The hood must be at east as wide as the appliance and centered over [leappliance. Clearance between the cooking urface and the ventilation hood surface MUST JEVER BE LESS THAN 24-INCHES.

If cabinets are placed abovethe range, allowa ]i~linlunlclearance of30inches between the ]oking surface and the bottom ofunprotected ~hinets.

@Ifa 30-inchclearancebetweencookingsurface and overheadcombustiblematerialor metal cabinetscannotbemaintained,protect the undersideofthe cabinetsabovethe cookingtop with not less than l/4-inch insulatingmillboard coveredwith sheet metalnot less than 0.0122-inch thick(No.28U.S.Standard gage).

~Clearance between the cookingsurface and protectedcabinetsMUST NEVER BE LESS TH~ 24 INCHES. The vertial distancefrom the plane ofthe cookingsu~faceto the bottom of adjacentoverheadcabinetsextendingcloserthan 1inchto the plane ofthe range sidesmust notbe lessthan 18inches.(Seediagram onpage 22.)

~CaUtiOn: Items of interestto childrenshould

notbe stored in cabinets abovea range or onthe backsplash ofarange–children climbingon the range to reach items couldbe seriously injured.

Allranges cantip and injury

couldresult.Topreventatidental

tipping of the range, attach the

,suppliedAnti-Tipdeviceto the

wall.(Seepages 29 and 30.)To

checkifthe deviceis installed and engaged properly,carefully tip the range forward. The Anti-Tipdeviceshould engage a bracket on the back wall of the range. This willprevent the range from tipping over.

If you pullthe range out from the wallfor any reason, make sure the Anti-Tipdeviceis engaged with the bracket when you push the range back against the wall.

~For your safety,never use your range for warming or heating the room. Yourovenand range top are not designed to heat your kitchen. Topburners should not be operated without

cookware on the grate. Such abuse couldresult in fire and damage to your range and willvoidyour warranty.

Q Donot store or use combustible materials, gasolineor other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity ofthis or any other appliance. Explosions or fires couldresult.

e Do not use oven for a storage area. Items st~~ed

in the ovencan ignite. – GDonot let cooking grease or other flammable

materials accumulate in or near the range.

c Sce Dimensionsand Clearancesonpage 1for allrough-ina~~dspacingdimensions. These dimensionsmust be met for safeuse ofyour range.The lomtion ofthe electricaloutlet and

pipe opening shown onpage 25 maybe adjusted

to meet specificrequirements. ~ The range maybe placedwith O“clearance

(flush)at the back walland side wallsofthe range.

Donotlocatethe range where it maybe subjectto

strong drafts. Any openingsin the flooror wall behindthe range shouldbe sealed. Make sure the openingsaround the base ofthe range that supply

fresh air for combustionand ventilationare not obstructed by ~rpeting or woodwork.

Yourrange, 1ikemany other household items, is heavyand can settle into soft floor coveringssuch as cushioned vinylor carpeting. Use care when movingthe range on this type offlooring.It is recommended that the followingsimpleand inexpensiveinstructions be followedtoprotect

Yourrange is designedto operate at a pressure between4 and 13inchesofwater columnon naturalgas or,if designedforLP gas (propane

or butane), between 10and 13inchesofwater column.Makesure youare supp~yingyourrange

with the type ofgas forwhichit is designed.If,

at allytimein the future,youdecideto use this range on a differenttypeofgas, conversion adjustments must bemadebya qualifiedservice technicianbeforeattempting to operate the range

onthat gas. For proper operation,the pressure ofnatural gas

suppliedto the regulatormust be between

4and

i3 inchesofwater column.For LP gas, the pressure supplied must bebetween 10and 13 inchesofwater column.When checkingfor proper operation ofthe regulator,the inlet

pressure must beat least 1inchgreater than the

operating (manifold)pressure as givenabove.The pressure regulator locatedat the inlet ofthe range manifoldmust remain inthe supplylineregardless ofwhether natural or LP gas is beingused. A

flexiblemetal applianceconnector used to connect the range to the gas supplylineshould havean

I.D.of1/2inchand be 5 feet in length (shorter and longer lengths are acceptable)for ease of installation.

Shut off the main gas supply valvebefore disconnectingthe old range and leaveit offuntil

new hook-uphas been completed. Because hard piping restricts movement ofthe

range, the use ofan A.G.A.-certifiedflexiblelmetal appliance connector isrecommended unless local codesrequire a hard-piped connection.Never use

an OICIconnector when installing a new range. Toprevent gas leaks, put pipe joint compound on,

or wrap pipe thread tape with Teflon*around, all male (external) pipe threads.
