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

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.

When You at Your Range

●

Have the installer

show you the location of the range gas cut-off valve and how to shut it off if necessary.

Have your range 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 range installers or service technicians.

● Plug your range into a 120-volt grounded

outlet only. Do not remove the round grounding prong from the plug. If in doubt about the grounding of the home electrical system, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have an ungrounded outlet replaced with a properly grounded,

three-

prong outlet in accordance with the National Electrical Code. In Canada, the appliance must be electrically grounded in accordance with the Canadian Electrical Code. Do not use an extension cord with this appliance.

● Be sure au packing materbds are removed from

the range before operating it to prevent fire or smoke damage should the packing material ignite.

● Locate range out of kitchen traffic path

and out of drafty locations to prevent poor air circulation.

Be sure your range is correctly adjusted by a

qualified service technician or installer for the type of gas (natural or

LP) that is to be used.

Your range can be converted for use with either

type of gas. See Installation Instructions.

● After prolonged use of a range, high floor

temperatures may

result and many floor

coverings will not withstand this kind of use. Never install the range over vinyl tile or linoleum that cannot withstand such type of use. Never install it directly over interior kitchen carpeting.

Using Your

Range

● Don’t leave chtidren

alone

or unattended where a range is hot or in operation, They could be seriously burned.

● Don’t allow anyone to climb,

sbnd

or hang on

the door, storage or broiler drawer (on models

so equipped) or range top. They could damage the range and even tip it over, causing severe personal injury.

range, attach an approved Anti-Tip device to the wall. (See Installation Instructions.) To check if the device is installed and engaged properly, carefully tip the range forward. The Anti-Tip device should engage and prevent

the

range from tipping over.

If you pull the range out from the wall for

any

reason, make sure the Anti-Tip device is engaged-when you push the range back against the wall.

● Let burner grates and other surfaces cool

before touching them or leaving them where children can reach them,

● Never wear loose fitting or hanging garments

while using the appliance. Be careful when reaching for items stored in cabinets over the

SAFETY

~STRUCTIONS

(continued)

● For your safety, never use your appliance for

warming or heating the room.

Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up

a flaming pan. Turn off burner, then smother

flaming pan by covering pan

“

completely with well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Flaming grease outside

a pan can be put out by covering with baking soda or, if available, a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

● Do not store flammable materials in an oven,

a range storage drawer or near a

cooktop.

● 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 range.

● When cooking pork, follow the directions

exactly and always cook the meat to an internal temperature of at least

170°F.

This assures that, in the remote possibility that trichina may be present in the meat, it will be killed and the meat will be safe to eat.

Surface Cooking

● Always use the LITE position when

igniting top burners and make sure the burners have ignited.

● Never leave surface burners unattended at

high flame settings.

Boilover

causes smoking

and greasy spillovers that may catch on

fire.

● Adjust top burner flame size so it does not

extend beyond the edge of the cookware. Excessive flame is hazardous.

● 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

cookw-are.

Do not use a towel

or other bulky cloth in place of a

pot holder.

● To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition

of flammable materials, and spillage, turn cookware handles toward the side or back of the range without extending over adjacent burners.

Always turn surface burner to OFF before

removing cookware.

● Carefully watch foods being fried at a high

flame setting.

● Never block the vents (air openings) of the

range. They provide the air inlet and outlet that are necessary for the range to operate properly with correct combustion. Air openings

are

located

at the rear of the

cooktop,

at the top and bottom of the oven door, and at the bottom of the range, under the kick panel, storage drawer or broiler drawer (depending on the model).

●

Do not use a wok on models with sealed burners

if the wok has a round metal ring that is placed over the burner grate to support the wok. This ring acts as a heat trap, which may damage the burner grate and burner head. Also, it may cause the burner to work improperly. This may cause a carbon monoxide level above that allowed by current standards, resulting in a health hazard.

Foods for frying should be as dry as possible.

Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and over sides of pan.

● Use least possible amount of fat for effective

shallow or deep-fat frying. Filling the

pan

too

full of fat can cause spillovers when food is added.

● If a combination of oils or fats will be used

in frying, stir together before heating or as fats melt slowly.

● Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.

● Use a deep fat thermometer whenever

possible to prevent overheating fat beyond the smoking point.

● Use proper pan

siz+Avoid

pans that

are

unstable or easily tipped. Select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to properly contain food and avoid

boilovers

and spillovers and large enough to cover burner grate. This will both save cleaning time and prevent hazardous accumulations of food, since heavy spattering or spillovers left on range can ignite. Use pans with handles that can be easily grasped and remain cool.

● When using

cookware, make sure it is

designed for top-of-range cooking.

items on the codktop. The hot air from the vent may ignite flammable items and will increase pressure in closed containers, which may cause them to burst.

To avoid the possibility of a burn, always be

certain that the controls for all burners are at the OFF position and all grates are cool before attempting to remove them.

● When flaming foods are under the hood, turn

the fan off. The fan, if operating, may spread the flames.

If range is located near a window, do not hang

long curtains that could blow over the top burners and create a fire hazard.

●

If you smell gas, turn off the gas to the range and

call a qualified service technician. Never use an open flame to locate a leak.

Baking, Broiling and Roasting

● Do not use oven for a storage area. Items

stored in the oven can ignite.

● Stand away from the range when opening the

door of a hot oven. The hot air and steam that escape can cause burns to hands, face and eyes.

Keep oven free from grease buildup.

● Place oven shelves in desired position while

oven is cool.

● Pulling out shelf to the shelf-stop is a

convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also a precaution against burns from touching hot surfaces of the door or oven walls. The lowest position “R” is not designed to slide.

● Don’t heat unopened food containers in the

oven. Pressure could build up and the container could burst, causing an injury.

● Don’t use aluminum foil anywhere in the oven

except as described in this

book,

Misuse could

result in a fire hazard or damage to the range.

● When using cooking or roasting bags in oven,

follow the manufacturer’s directions,

. Use only glass cookware that is recommended

for use in gas ovens.

● Always remove 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 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 off oven, and keep oven door closed to contain fire until it burns out.

After Lighting a Burner

● Check to be sure the burner you turned on is the one

you want to use.

● Do not operate a burner for an extended period

of time without cookware on the grate. The finish on the grate may chip without cookware to absorb the heat.

● Be sure the burners and grates are cool before you

place your hand, a pot holder, cleaning cloths or other materials on them.

How to Select Flame Size

Watch the flame, not the knob, as you reduce heat. The flame size on a gas burner should match the

cookware you are using. FOR SAFE HANDLING OF

COOKWARE NEVER LET THE FLAME EXTEND UP THE SIDES OF THE COOKWARE. Any flame larger than the bottom of the cookware is wasted and only serves to heat the handle.

When boiling, use this same flame size—1/2 inch smaller than the bottom of the cookware-no matter what the cookware

made of. Foods cook just as quickly at a gentle boil as they do at a furious, rolling boil. A high boil creates steam and cooks away moisture, flavor and nutrition. Avoid it except for the few cooking processes that need a vigorous boil.

When frying or warming foods in stainless steel, cast iron or enamelware, keep the flame down lower—to about 1/2 the diameter of the pan.

When using aluminum or aluminum-clad stainless

Adjusting Oven

Themostat

When cooking a food for the first time in your new

oven, use time given on recipes as a guide. Oven thermostats, over a period of years, may “drift” from the factory setting, and differences in timing between an old and a new oven of 5 to 10 minutes are not

unusual. You may be inclined to think that the new

oven is not performing correctly; however, your new oven has been set correctly at the factory and is more likely to be accurate than the oven it replaced.

If you think the oven should be hotter or cooler, you can adjust it yourself. To decide how much to change the thermostat, set the oven temperature

25°F.

higher or lower than the temperature in your recipe, then bake. The results of this “test” should give you an idea of how much the thermostat should be changed.

For best baking results, follow these suggestions:

Oven Shelf

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 the second or third shelf from the bottom. 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 in the food. To preheat, the oven at the correct temperature—selecting a

higher temperature does not shorten preheat time.

Preheating is

necess~

for good results when baking

cakes, cookies, pastry and breads. For most casseroles

set

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, lower the temperature by

25°F.

and use the recommended cooking time in the recipe. This is not necessary when baking pies or casseroles.

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 walls of the oven. Allow 1 to

k inch space between pans as well as from the back of the oven, the door and the sides. If you use two shelves, stagger the pans so one is not directly above the other.

Page 17

Baking Guides

When using prepared baking mixes, follow package recipe or instructions for best baking results.

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.

For best results, use only one cookie sheet in the oven at a time.

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.

The oven has a special low shelf (R) position just above the oven bottom. Use it when extra cooking space is needed, for example, when roasting a large turkey. The shelf is not designed to slide out at this position.

ROAST~G

BAKE

Roasting is really a baking procedure used for meats. Therefore, oven controls are set for

indicating the oven is working properly.) Roasting

is easy; just

follow these steps:

Step 1:

Place the shelf

in A or B position for

small size roasts (3 to

lbs.)

and R position for larger roasts. No preheating is necessary.

Step

Check the weight of the meat. Place the meat

fat-

side-up,or

poultry breast-side-up, on roasting rack in

shallow pan. The melting fat will baste the meat. Select a pan as close to the size of the meat as possible. (Broiler pan with rack is a good pan for

this.) Line broiler pan with aluminum foil-when using pan for marinating, cooking with fruits, cooking heavily cured meats, or basting food during cooking. Avoid spilling these materials inside the oven or

inside the oven door.

For Frozen Roasti

● 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).

● Thaw most frozen poultry before roasting to ensure

even doneness. Some commercial frozen poultry can be cooked successfully without thawing. Follow directions given on package label.

roast or poultry?

A. Checking the finished internal temperature at the

completion of cooking time is recommended. Temperatures are shown in Roasting Guide. For roasts over 8 lbs., check with thermometer at

half-

hour intervals after half the 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 10 to

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

A. It is unnecessary 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.

Broiling is cooking food by intense radiant heat from the upper unit in the oven. Most fish and tender cuts of meat can be broiled. Follow these steps to keep spattering and smoking to a minimum.

The oven door should be closed during broiling. Do not lock the oven door with the door latch during broiling. This is used for self-cleaning only.

Step 1: If meat has fat or gristle near edge, cut

vertical slashes through both about 2“ apart. If desired, fat maybe trimmed, leaving layer about

1/8” thick.

Step

Place meat on broiler rack in broiler pan. Always use rack so fat drips into broiler pan; otherwise juices may become hot enough to catch fire.

Step

(Where two thicknesses

and times are given together, use first times given for thinnest food.)

Step 8: When broiling is completed press the

CLEAWOFF pad. Serve food immediately, and

leave pan outside oven to cool during meal for easiest cleaning.

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 do not cut the slits, you are frying, not broiling.

Questions & Answers

Q. When broiling, is it

necessag

to always use a rack

in the pan?

A. Yes. Using the rack 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 rack 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. Turn meat with tongs; piercing meat with a fork also allows

juices to escape. When broiling poultry or fish,

brush each side often with butter.

Q. Do I need to grease my

broiler rack to prevent meat from sticking?

A. No. The broiler rack is designed to reflect broiler

heat, thus keeping the surface cool enough to prevent meat from sticking to the surface. However, spraying the broiler rack lightly with a vegetable cooking spray before cooking will make clean up easier.

Why are my meats not turning out as brown as

they should?

A. Check to see if you are using the recommended

shelf position. Broil for longest period of time indicated in the broiling Guide. Turn food only once during broiling.

This will help prevent a brown residue from forming when the oven is heated. Buff these areas with a dry cloth. Never use a commercial oven cleaner in or around the

self-

cleaning oven.

How to Set Oven for Cleaning

Step 1:

Follow steps above to prepare the oven

for cleaning.

Step

Close the oven door and slide the latch handle

to the right as far as it will go.

Never force the door latch handle. Forcing the handle may damage the door lock mechanism.

Step 3: Press the CLEAN pad. Step 4: Press the INCREASE or

CLEAN DECREASEpaduntil desired Clean

Time is displayed.

● Clean top, sides and outside front of oven door with

soap and water. Do not use abrasives or oven cleaners.

● Do not rub or clean the door gasket

(B)—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.

Step 4: Close and latch the door. Make sure the oven

light (C) is off.

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.

Caution: Drip pans should never be cleaned in the

self-cleaning oven. 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 temperatures may damage the porcelain finish of the oven.

Important

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

Clean Time is normally 4 hours. You can change the Clean Time to anywhere between 2 and 4 hours, depending on how dirty the oven is. The self-clean cycle will automatically begin within a few seconds after the word “CLEAN” is displayed and the word “ON” appears on the display. When the oven heats to a high temperature, the word “LOCK” will be displayed and, a short time later, the door latch handle will be locked in position. It will not be possible to open the oven door until the temperature drops below the lock temperature.

Step

5: When the LOCK light is off, slide the latch

handle to the left as far as it will go and open the door.

Questions and Answers Q.

If my oven clock is not working, can I still self-

clean my oven?

A. If the clock is not working then the entire control is

not working. If the clock is not set to the correct time of day you will not be able to set a delay clean 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. Press the

CLEAWOFF pad. Open windows to rid room

of smoke. Wait until the oven has cooled (about 20-30 minutes) and the word “LOCK” is off in the display. Wipe up the excess soil and reset the clean cycle.

Q. Is the “crackling” 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?

A. Yes, there maybe a slight odor during the

first

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

Q. What causes the hair-like lines on the enameled

surface of my oven?

A. 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?

A. After many cleanings, oven shelves may become

so clean they do not slide easily. To make shelves slide more easily, after each self-cleaning function dampen fingers with a small amount of cooking oil and rub lightly over sides of shelf where they contact shelf supports.

Q. My oven shelves have become gray after the

self-clean cycle. Is this normal?

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

lose some luster and change to a deep gray color.

Q. The word “door” appeared on the display when

I selected the Clean Cycle. What is wrong?

A. The door latch handle must be moved all the way

to the right. Move the latch handle and cleaning will

stti.

Burner

Caps

(on sealed burners only)

Lift off when cool. Wash burner caps in hot, soapy water and rinse with clean water. If desired, so& up to 30 minutes and scour with a plastic scouring

pad

to remove burned-on food particles. Dry them in a warm oven or with a cloth—don’t reassemble them wet.

Range Burner Heads

(on sealed burners

only)

The holes in the burners of your range, and the spark electrodes, must be kept clean at all times for proper ignition and an even, unhampered flame.

You should clean the burner heads routinely, especially after bad

spillovers,

which could clog these holes.

Wipe off burner heads. If heavy

spillover

occurs,

remove burner heads from range. Remove the burner grate and burner cap. Then lift the

burner head straight up. To remove burned-on food, soak the burner head

upside-down in a solution of mild liquid detergent and hot water. Soak the burner head for 20 to 30 minutes. If the food doesn’t rinse off completely, scrub it with soap and water and a brush or plastic scouring pad.

For more stubborn stains, use a cleanser like Soft

brand or Bon

Ami@

brand. Rinse well to remove any traces of the cleanser that might clog the burner openings. Do not use steel wool because it will clog the burner openings and scratch the burners. If the holes become clogged, clean them with a toothpick.

Do not clean the burner head in the self-cleaning oven. Before putting the burner head back, shake out excess

water and dry it thoroughly by setting it in a warm oven for 30 minutes. Then place it back in the range, making sure the pin in the burner base goes in the hole in the burner head, and that the burner heads are

properly seated and level.

Range Burner Base

(on sealed burners

only)

The burner base (the part of the burner fastened to the

cooktop)

may be cleaned with a soft brush and a mild cleanser. Clean all food residues from around spark electrode. Do not use steel wool; small bits of steel wool will short out the electrode. Rinse well.

Burner Grates

Lift out when cool. Grates should be washed

regularly and, of course, after

spillovers.

Wash

them in hot, soapy water and rinse with clean water.

After cleaning, dry them thoroughly by putting them

in a warm oven for a few minutes. Don’t put the grates back on the range while they are wet. When replacing the grates, be sure they’re positioned securely over the burners.

To get rid of burned-on food, place the grates in a covered container (or plastic bag) with 1/4 cup ammonia to loosen the soil. Then scrub with a soap-filled scouring pad if necessary.

Although they’re durable, the grates will gradually lose their shine, regardless of the best care you can give them. This is due to their continual exposure to high temperatures.

Do not operate a burner for an extended period of time without cookware on the grate. The finish on the grate may chip without cookware to absorb the heat.

Drip

Pans

(on some models)

Remove the grates and lift out the drip pans. Drip pans can be cleaned in dishwasher or by hand. Place

~~[

them in a covered container (or plastic bag) with

1/4 cup ammonia to loosen the soil. Then scrub with

a soap-filled scouring pad if necessary.

Caution: Drip pans CANNOT be self-cleaned.

Cooktop

Sutiace

To avoid damaging the porcelain enamel surface of the

cooktop

and to prevent it from becoming dull, clean up spills right away. Foods with a lot of acid (tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices. etc.) or foods with high sugar content could cause a dull spot if allowed to set.

When the surface has cooled, wash and rinse. For other spills such as fat smatterings, etc., wash with soap and water once the surface has cooled. Then rinse and polish with a dry cloth.

Do not

store flammable materials in an oven or

near the

cooktop.

Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

Lift-Off Oven Door

The oven door is removable but it is heavy. You may need help removing and replacing the door.

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 off the hinges.

NOTE: Be careful not to place hands between the spring hinge and the oven frame as the spring hinge could snap back and pinch your fingers.

To replace the door,

make sure the hinges are in the “out” 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.

TO CLEAN THE DOOR:

(Do not immerse door in water.)

Inside of 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

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.

Oven Shelves

Shelves can be cleaned by hand using soap and water or

witi

an abrasive cleanser. After cleaning, rinse the

shelves with clean water and dry. To remove heavy,

burned-on soil, you may use scouring pads. After

scrubbing, wash with soapy water, rinse and dry. Shelves may also be cleaned in self-cleaning oven,

but will discolor and lose some luster. See the Self-

Cleaning section.

Oven Bottom

The oven bottom has a porcelain enamel finish.

To make cleaning easier, protect the oven bottom from excessive

spillovers

by placing a cookie sheet on the shelf below the shelf you are cooking on. You can use aluminum foil if you do not cover the whole shelf. This is particularly important when baking a fruit pie or other foods with a high acid content. Hot fruit

fillings

or other foods that are

hi~hlv

acidic (such as

milk,-tomatoes

or sauerkraut,

an~ s~uces

with vinegar or lemon juice) may cause pitting and damage to the porcelain enamel surface and should be wiped up immediately. Take care not to touch hot portion of oven.

If a

spillover

does occur on the oven bottom, allow

,,/.

the oven to cool first. You can then clean the oven bottom with soap and water, an abrasive cleanser or scouring pads.

●

Rinse well to remove any soap before self-cleaning,

Broiler Pan and Rack

After broiling, remove the broiler pan and rack from the oven. Remove the rack from the pan. Carefully pour out the grease in the pan into a proper container.

If food has burned on, sprinkle the rack with detergent while hot and cover with wet paper towels or a dishcloth. That way, burned-on foods will soak loose while the meal is being served.

Wash; scour if necessary. Rinse and dry. The broiler pan and rack may also be cleaned in a dishwasher. Do not store a soiled broiler pan and rack anywhere in the range.

Ad.iustment

Shutters

The combustion quality of burner flames needs to be determined visually. See the Installation Instructions and the Problem Solver sections in this book. Air adjustment shutters for the top (broil) and bottom burners regulate the flow of air to the flames.

The air adjustment shutter for the top (broil) burner is in the center of the rear wall of the oven. (See Installation Instructions in this book.)

The shutter for the bottom (oven) burner is near the back

wdl

behind the storage drawer, or kick panel.

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 the oven bottom and the burner

baffle.

To remove the oven bottom:

1. Remove the knurled screws holding down rear of

oven bottom.

2. Grasp the oven bottom at finger slots on each side.

3. Lift the rear of the oven bottom enough to clear the lip of the range frame, then pull out.

ADEQuATE

GAS

SUPPLY

Your range is designed to operate at a pressure

of 4“ of water column on natural gas or, if designed for LP gas

@ropane

or butane), 10” of water

column. Make sure you are supplying your range

with the type of gas for which it is designed. This

range is convertible for use on natural or propane gas, if you decide to use this range on a different type of gas, conversion adjustments must be made by a service technician or other

qualtiled

person before attempting to operate the range on that gas.

For proper operation, the pressure of natural gas supplied to the regulator must be between 4“ and

13” of water column. For

gas, the pressure supplied must be between 10” and 13” of water column.

men

checking for proper operation of the regulator, the inlet pressure must beat least 1“ greater than the operating (manifold) pressure as given above. The pressure regulator located at the inlet of the range manifold must remain in the supply line regardless of whether natural or

gas is being used. A flexible metal appliance connector used to connect the range to the gas supply line should have an I.D. of 1/2” and be 5 feet in length (shorter and longer lengths are acceptable) for ease of instillation. In Canada,

flexible connectors must be single wall metal

connectors no longer than 6 feet in length.

❑

CONNECT THE RANGE TO GAS

Shut off the main gas supply valve before disconnecting the old range and leave it off until new hook-up has been completed. Don’t forget to relight the pilot on other gas appliances when you turn the gas back on.

Because hard piping restricts movement of the range, the use of an A. G.A.-certified flexible

metil appliance connector is recommended

unless local codes require a hard-piped connection. Never use an old connector when installing a new range. If the hard piping method is used, you must carefully align the pipe; the range cannot be moved after the connection is made.

To prevent gas leaks, put pipe joint compound on, or wrap pipe thread tape with Teflon* around, all male (external) pipe threads.
