Any adjustment and service
should be performed only by

@ Locate range out of “kitchen
traffic path” and out of drafty
locations to prevent pilot outage and 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) on which it is to be used.
Gas can be converted from
one type to the other. See
Installation Instructions.
Q 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 interior kitchen
carpeting, vinyl tile or linoleum
that cannot withstand such
type of use.
Be sure electrical power
cord is not touching or draped
over the oven vent located in
the center of the back of the
range.

Wear proper clothing. Loose

should never be worn while
using the appliance. Flam-
mable material could be
ignited if brought in contact
with flame or hot oven sur-
faces and may cause severe
burns.
c;’Never use your appliance for
warming or heating the morn.
Prolonged use of the range
without adequate ventilation
can be hazardous.
‘=’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, cooking sheet or flat
tray. Flaming grease outside a
pan can be put out by covering
with baking soda or, if available, a multipurpose dry chemical or foam.

Do not use a towel or other

~ esh 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.
G Always heat fat slowly, and
watch as it heats.
‘; Use deep fat thermometer
whenever possible to prevent
over-heating fat beyond the
smoking point.
~~Use Proper Pan Size—Avoid
pans that are unstable or easily
tipped. Select utensils having
flat bottoms large enough to
properly contain food avoiding
boilovers and spiiiovers, but
arge enough to cover burner
rate. This will both save
cleaning 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.
- Use only glass cookware that
is recommended for use on gas
cooktops or gas ovens.
LI If range is located near a
window, do not use long cur-tains which could blow over
the top burners and create
a fire hazard.
@ When a pilot goes out, you
will detect a faint odor of gas
as your signal to relight pilot.
When relighting pilot, make
sure burner controls are in
“OFF” position and follow
instructions described on following pages to relight.
~ If you smell gas and you
have already made sure pilots
are lit, turn off the gas to the
range and call a qualified service technician. Never use an
open flame to locate a leak.

~ Do not use oven for a storage
area.
Q Wand away from the range
when opening cwen door. The
hot air or steam which escapes
can cause burns to hands, face
and/or eyes.
o Keep oven free from grease
build up.
~ Place oven rack 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.
Don’t heat unopened food
containers in ‘ii-w oven. Pres”
sure could build up and the
container Could burst causing
an !k@N’y.
- When using cooking or
roastin~ bags in oven, follow
the manufacturer’s directions.
~~When cooking pc@Yfollow
our directions exactly and
always cook the meat to at
least 170°. This assures that,
in the remote possibility that
trichina may be present in the
meat, it will be killed and meat
will be safe to eat.
@ Always remove broiler pan
from broiler compartment 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.
G Make sure broiler grill pan is
in place correctly to reduce the
possibility of grease fires,
~ If you should have a grease
fire in the broiler grill pan, turn
off oven, keep drawer closed to
contain fire until it burns out.

To light the oven pilot on standing
pilot models, usethe following
steps. BE SURE OVEN TEMP
Knob is at OFF position.
Note: You may haveto remove the
entire broiler compartment. To do
this, lift the broiler compartment
slightly until it dislodges. Then
gently pull it toward you and out
of oven.
Step 1: Hold a lighted match over
the opening in the top of the pilot
located at the rear of the oven
broiler compartment. (Note: A
long match or match holder
should be used to light pilot.)
Step 2: When the oven pilot is lit,
turn the OVEN TEMP Knob from
OFF position to any temperature
setting. You will see the flame
increase in size. If you see no
flame, pilot is not lit. Turn Knob
to OFF and begin lighting Steps
again.
NOTE: It may take up to 30
seconds for the oven burner to
light after the OVEN TENIP Knob
has been turned on. The beginning of gas flow will be indicated

almost immediately.
Replace the broiler compartment.
To do this, insert the broiler com-
partment in a level position, lift
slightly and then drop in position.
