IMPORTANT SAFETY

INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: Toreducetheriskoffire,electricalshock,injurytopersons, or damage when using the range, follow basic precautions, including the following:

•WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF TIPPING OF THE RANGE, THE RANGE MUST BE SECURED BY PROPERLY INSTALLED ANTI-TIP DEVICES. TO CHECK IF THE DEVICES ARE INSTALLED PROPERLY, SLIDE RANGE COMPLETELY FORWARD, LOOK FOR ANTITIP BRACKET SECURELY ATTACHED TO THE FLOOR BEHIND THE RANGE AND SLIDE RANGE COMPLETELY BACK UNTIL THE REAR RANGE FOOT IS UNDER ANTI-TIP BRACKET.

•WARNING: NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to heat or warm the room.

Doing so may result in carbon monoxidepoisoningand overheating of the 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 soblocksairflowthrough the oven and may cause carbonmonoxidepoisoning.

Aluminum foil linings may alsotrapheat,causingafire hazard.

•CAUTION: Do not store items of interest to children in cabinets above a range or on the back guard of a range

– children climbing on the range to reach items could be seriouslyinjured.

•Do Not Leave Children Alone

– Children should not be left alone or unattended in area where the range is in use.

They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the range.

•Wear Proper Apparel – Loosefittingorhanginggarments should never be worn while using the range.

•User Servicing – Do not repair or replace any part of therangeunlessspecifically recommended in the manual. All other servicing should

bereferredtoaqualified technician.

•Storage in or on the Range – Flammable materials should not be stored in an oven or near surface units.

•Do Not Use Water on Grease

Fires–Smotherfireorflame or use dry chemical or foamtypeextinguisher.

•Use Only Dry Potholders – Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

•DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE UNITS OR AREAS NEAR UNITS – Surface units may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near surface units may become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not

touch, or let clothing or other flammablematerialscontact surface units or areas near units until they have had sufficienttimetocool.Among those areas are the cooktop and surfaces facing the cooktop.

•Never Leave Surface Units Unattended at High Heat Settings – Boil over causes smoking and greasy spillovers that may ignite.

•Glazed Cooking Utensils – Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthenware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for range-top service without breaking due to the sudden change in temperature.

•Utensil Handles Should Be

TurnedInwardandNotExtend OverAdjacentSurface

Units – To reduce the risk of burns,ignitionofflammable materials, and spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, the handle of a utensil should be positioned so that it is turned inward, and does notextendoveradjacent surface units.

•Clean Cooktop With Caution – If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burn. Some cleaners canproducenoxiousfumesif applied to a hot surface.

•Use Care When Opening Door

– Let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing food.

•Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers – Build-up of pressure may cause container toburstandresultininjury.

•Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed.

•Placement of Oven Racks – Always place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not let potholder contact hot heating element in oven.

•DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF OVEN – Heating elements may be hot even though they are dark

in color. Interior surfaces of an oven become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothingorotherflammable materials contact heating elements or interior surfaces of oven until they have had sufficienttimetocool.Other surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to cause burns – among these surfaces are oven vent openings and surfaces near these openings, oven doors, and windows of oven doors.

COOKTOP USE

Read the instructions before installing or using this appliance.

1.This appliance shall be installed in accordance with the regulations in force and only used in a well-ventilated space.

2.The use of a gas-cooking appliance results in the production of heat and moisture in the room in which it is installed. Ensure that the kitchen is well ventilated: keep natural ventilation holes open or install a mechanical ventilation device(mechanicalextractorhood).

3.Prolonged intensive use of the appliance may call for additional ventilation, forexampleopeningofawindow,ormoreeffectiveventilation,forexample increasing the level of mechanical ventilation where present.

OVEN USE

COOKING WITH THE GAS OVEN

BAKING AND ROASTING

This oven features a gas burner located under the oven cavity which provides evenly distributed heat from the bottom of the oven. The heat rises naturally to bake food evenly.

Theheatedaircirculatingnaturally,cooksmeatstoaflavorful,crispinessoutside whilekeepingtheinsidetenderandjuicy.

BROILING

This oven features a gas burner located at the top of the oven cavity which provides evenly distributed heat from the top of the oven.

ThebroilburnerwillremainonuntiltheOvenControlknobisturnedtotheoff position.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL

The Temperature knob is used to select either the Bake or Broil Oven Mode.

BAKE

•Push in on the Temperature knob, and then turn the knob counterclockwise to automatically ignite the bake burner. Continue turning the knob to select the requiredcookingtemperature,betweenMIN(150°F)andMAX.

Oven Control Display

•Illuminates when the oven is preheating.

•Turnsoffwhentheselectedcookingtemperaturehasbeenreached.

BROIL

•Push in on the Temperature control knob, and then turn the knob clockwise to automatically ignite the broil burner.

NOTE: The broil burner will remain on until the Temperature control is returned to the OFF position.

14

FEATURES CONTROL

Light

The oven cavity light turns ON automatically, when the Bake or Broil function is selected, and remains on during operation.

Conv (Convection) Fan

During convection cooking, the fan provides hot air circulation throughout the oven. The movement of heated air around the food can help to speed up cooking by penetrating the cooler outer surfaces. Food cooks more evenly, browning and crisping outer surfaces while sealing moisture inside.

During convection cooking, the bake and broil elements, and the fan operate to heat the oven cavity. If the oven door is opened during convection cooking or preheating, thefanturnsoffimmediatelyandtheelement(s)willturnoffafter30seconds.Once the door is closed, the element(s) will turn back on.

NOTE: Theconvectionfanmaybeturnedonandoffatanytime

OVEN TIPS AND TECHNIQUES

Baking is cooking with heated air. The lower bake burner is on which heats the air in the oven cavity, baking the food with naturally circulating hot air currents.

Follow the recipe or convenience food directions for baking temperature, time and rack position. Baking time will vary with the temperature of ingredients and the size, shapeandfinishofthebakingutensil.

General Guidelines

•For best results, bake food on a single rack with at least 1” - 1 ½” (2,5 - 3 cm) space between utensils and oven walls.

•Use one rack when selecting the bake mode.

•Check for doneness at the minimum time.

•Use metal bake ware (with or without a non stick finish),heatproofglass,glassceramic, pottery or other utensils suitable for the oven.

•When using heatproof glass, reduce temperature by 25°F (15°C) from recommended temperature.

•Usebakingsheetswithorwithoutsidesorjellyrollpans.

•Dark metal pans or nonstick coatings will cook faster with more browning. Insulated bake ware will slightly lengthen the cooking time for most foods.

•Do not use aluminum foil or disposable aluminum trays to line any part of the oven.Foilisanexcellentheatinsulatorandheatwillbetrappedbeneathit.This willalterthecookingperformanceandcandamagethefinishoftheoven.

•Avoid using the opened door as a shelf to place pans.

Check the chart below for causes of the most common problems.Sincethesize,shapeandmaterialofbakingutensilsdirectlyaffectthe baking results, the best solution may be to replace old baking utensils that have darkened and warped with age and use.

Baking Problem		Cause
Food browns unevenly	•	Oven not preheated
	•	Aluminum foil on oven rack or oven bottom
	•	Baking utensil too large for recipe
	•	Pans touching each other or oven walls
Food too brown on bottom	•	Oven not preheated
	•	Using glass, dull or darkened metal pans
	•	Incorrect rack position
	•	Pans touching each other or oven walls
