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.

●

Fluorescent light bulbs and

stiety

valves on standing pilot ranges contain mercury. If your model has these features, they must be recycled

according to local, state and

federd

codes.

●

Locate range out of kitchen traffic path

and out of drafty locations to prevent poor air circulation.

●

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 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.

●

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.

SAFETY

~STRUCTIONS

(continued)

●

Let the 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

cooktop.

Flammable material could be ignited if brought in contact with flame or hot oven surfaces and may cause severe burns.

●

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.

Hating

grease outside a pan can be put out by covering with baking soda or, if available, a

multi-pu~ose 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

or near the range.

. When cooking pork,

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.

Sutiaee

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 potholders on hot surfaces may result in bums from steam. Do not let pot holders come near open

flames when lifting cookware. 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,

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

spillovels

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.

●

When using glass cookware, make sure it is

designed for top-of-range cooking.

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.

●

PuUing

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

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.

Keep range clean and free of accumulations of

grease or

spillovers,

which may ignite.

Electric Ignition

Your surface burners are lighted by electric ignition, eliminating the need for standing pilot lights with constantly burning flames.

In case of a power failure, you can light the surface burners on your range with a match. Hold a lighted match to the burner, then turn the knob to the LITE position.

Use extreme caution when lighting burners

this way.

Surface burners in use when an electrical power failure occurs will continue to operate normally.

The electrode of the spark igniter is exposed. When one burner is turned to LITE, all the burners spark. Do not attempt to disassemble or clean around any burner while another burner is on. An electric shock may result, which could cause you to knock over hot cookware.

Surface Burner Controls

using any burner.

On ranges with sealed burners: . The smaller burner (right rear position) will give

the best simmer results.

● The right front burner is higher powered than the

others and will bring liquids to a boil quicker (natural gas installations only).

To Light a Surface Burner

Push the control knob in and turn it

LITE. You will hear

a little “clicking” noise—the sound of the electric spark igniting the burner.

After the burner ignites, turn the knob to adjust the flame size.

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.

Top-of-Range Cookware

Aluminum: Medium-weight cookware is

recommended because it heats quickly and evenly. Most foods brown evenly in an aluminum skillet. Use

saucepans with tight-fitting lids when cooking with

minimum amounts of water.

Cast-Iron: If heated slowly, most skillets will give satisfactory results.

manufacturer’s recommendations for cooking methods, Glass: There are two types of glass cookware—those

for oven use only and those for top-of-range cooking (saucepans, coffee and teapots). Glass conducts heat very slowly.

Heatproof

G1ass

Ceramic: Can be used for either

surface or oven cooking. It conducts heat very slowly and cools very slowly. Check cookware manufacturer’s directions to be sure it can be used on gas ranges.

Stainless Steel: This metal alone has poor heating properties and is usually combined with copper, aluminum or other metals for improved heat distribution. Combination metal skillets usually work satisfactorily if they are used with medium heat as the manufacturer recommends.

Wok Cooking

(on models with sealed burners)

We recommend that you

use only a flat-bottomed wok. They are available at your

10cai

retail store.

● Do not use woks that have

support rings. Use of these types of woks, with or without the ring in place, can be dangerous. Placing the ring over the burner grate may cause the burner to work improperly resulting in carbon monoxide levels above allowable current standards. This could be dangerous to your health. Do not try to use such woks without the ring. You could be seriously burned if the wok tipped over.

Use of Stove Top Grills

(on models with sealed burners) D O not use stove top grills

Power Outage

CAUTION: DO NOT MAKE ANY ATTEMPT TO OPERATE THE ELECTRIC IGNITION OVEN DURING AN ELECTRICAL POWER FAILURE. The oven or broiler cannot be lit during a power

failure. Gas will not flow unless the glow bar is hot. If the oven is in use when a power failure occurs,

the oven burner shuts off and cannot be

re-lit

until

power is restored.

Oven Shelves

The shelves are designed with

stop-

locks so when placed correctly on the shelf

suppor~, 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 “stop” position. 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 it toward you, tilt the front end upward and pull the shelf out.

To replace,

The oven has five shelf supports for normal baking and roasting identified in this illustration as A (bottom), B, C, D and E (top). It also has a special low shelf position (R) for roasting extra large items, such as a

large

turkey—the shelf is-not designed to slide out at this position. Shelf positions for cooking are suggested on Baking and Roasting pages.

Oven Moisture

As your oven heats up, the temperature change 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.

Oven

Venk

The oven is vented through duct openings at the rear of the cooktop. See Features section. Do not block these openings when cooking in the oven—it is important that the flow of hot air from the oven and fresh air to the oven burners be uninterrupted.

Adjusting the Oven Thermostat

When cooking 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. Your new oven has been set correctly at the factory and is more likely to be accurate than the oven it replaced.

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

store, to check the temperature setting of your new

oven. These thermometers can vary by 20-40 degrees. 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

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. ~1 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.

Baking Pans

Preheating is necessary 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.

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 1

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.

Check the recipe to make sure the pan size

Aluminum Foil

Never entirely cover a shelf with a large cookie sheet or aluminum foil. This will disturb the heat circulation and results in poor baking. A smaller sheet of foil may be used to catch a

ROASTmG

Do not lock the oven door with the door latch during roasting. This is used for self-cleaning only.

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.

Roasting is really a baking procedure used for meats. Therefore, oven controls are set for BAKE or Timed Bake. (You may hear a slight clicking sound, indicating the oven is working properly.) Roasting is easy; just follow these steps:

Place the shelf in A or B position for small size roasts (3 to 5

lbs.)

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

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

fat-side-up,or poultry

breast-side-up, on roasting rack in a 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.

3. Press the BAKE pad.

4. Press the INCREASE or

DECREASE pad until the desired temperature is displayed.

When the oven starts to heat, the word “ON” and the changing temperature, starting at

100°F.,

will be displayed. When the oven reaches the temperature you set a tone will sound.

5. Press the CLEAWOFF pad when roasting is finished and then remove food from oven.

6. Most meats continue to cook slightly while

standing, after being removed from the oven. Standing time recommended for roasts is 10 to 20 minutes. This allows roasts to

firm up and makes

them easier to carve. Internal temperature will rise about 5° to

10°F.;

to compensate for temperature increase, if desired, remove the roast from oven sooner (at 5° to

10°F.

less than temperature in the

Roasting Guide).

NOTE: You may wish to use Timed Baking, as described in the Baking section of this book, to turn oven on and off automatically.

Remember that food will continue to cook in the hot oven and therefore should be removed when the desired internal temperature has been reached.

To change oven temperature during roasting,

press the BAKE pad and then INCREASE or DECREASE pad to get new temperature.

For Frozen

Roasb

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.

Dual Shelf Cooking

This allows more than one food to be cooked at the same time. For example: While roasting a 20 lb. turkey on shelf (R) a second shelf may be added on position D so that scalloped potatoes can be cooked at the same time. Calculate the total cooking time to enable both dishes to complete cooking at the same time. Allow 15-20 minutes of additional cooking time for the potatoes.

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 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.

Q. Do I need to preheat my oven each time I cook a

roast or poultry?

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.

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 necessary to always use a rack

Q. Do I need to grease my broiler rack to prevent

meat from sticking?

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?

No. The broiler rack is designed to reflect broiler heat, thus keeping the

Broiling Tips

The oven door must be closed during broiling. 3. If desired, marinate meats or chicken before

broiling. Or brush with barbecue sauce last 5 to 10 minutes only.

4. When arranging food on pan, do not let fatty edges hang over sides, which could soil oven with fat dripping.

5. Oven does not need to be preheated. However, for very thin foods, or to increase browning, preheat if desired.

6. Frozen steaks can be broiled by positioning the oven shelf at next lowest shelf position and increasing cooking time given in this guide 1 X times per side.

1. Always use broiler pan and rack that comes with

your oven. It is designed to minimize smoking and spattering by trapping juices in the shielded lower part of the pan.

2. For steaks and chops, slash fat evenly around outside edges of meat. To slash, cut crosswise through outer fat surface just to the edge of the meat. Use tongs to turn meat over to prevent piercing meat and losing juices.

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

●

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.

Questions and Answers

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 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? This is caused by excessive soil. Press the

CLEAWOFF pad. Open windows to rid room

of smoke. Wait until the oven has cooled and the word “LOCK” is off in the display. Wipe up the excess soil and reset the clean cycle.

, Is the “crackling” sound 1 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.

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

‘iDOOr” appeared on the display

when

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 start.

Lift-Off Oven Door

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

Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces and basting materials containing acids may cause discoloration and should be wiped up immediately. When surface is cool, clean and rinse,

Do not use oven cleaners, cleansing powders or harsh abrasives on the outside of the door.

Page 29

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 SelfCleaning 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 highly acidic (such as milk, tomatoes or sauerkraut, and sauces 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.

Do not clean in the self-cleaning oven.

1. Place it into groove of lamp receptacle. Pull wire

bail forward to center of cover until it snaps into place. When in place, wire holds cover firmly. Be certain wire bail is in depression in center of cover.

2. Connect electrical power to the range.

Control Panel and Knobs

It’s a good idea to wipe the control panel after each use of the oven. 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 cleaners on the control panel—they will damage the finish. A 50/50 solution of vinegar and hot water works well.

The control knobs may be removed for easier cleaning. To remove knob, pull it straight off the stem. If knob is difficult to remove, place a towel or dishcloth between the knob and control panel and pull gently. Wash the knobs in soap and water or a vinegar and hot water solution but do not soak.

To clean outside glass finish, use a glass cleaner. Do not allow the water or cleaner to run down inside openings in the glass while cleaning.

Metal parts can be cleaned with soap and water. Do not use steel wool, abrasives, ammonia, acids or commercial oven cleaners. Dry with a soft cloth.

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

butine),

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 qualified 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

LP 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

LP 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 for ease of installation. In Canada, flexible connectors must be single wall metal connectors no longer than 6 feet in length.

❑

CONME(l

IHE

RANGE 10 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 AG.A.-certified flexible

metal 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.

pad and then press the INCREASE pad until “350°” appears in the display. After 30-90 seconds, the oven burner will ignite and burn until the set temperature is reached. The oven burner will continue to cycle on and off as necessary to maintain the oven at the temperature indicated by the display.

To check ignition of the broil burner, press the

BROIL pad and then the INCREASE or DECREASE pad. After 30-90 seconds, the broil burner will ignite.

The oven requires electrical power to operate. In

the case of a power outage, the oven burners on these models cannot be lit manually with a match. Gas will not flow unless the glow bar is hot.

If the oven is in use when a power outage occurs, the oven burner shuts off and cannot be

re-lit
