other linens a safe distance away from your range.
Never store such Items on your range.
Do not Use a wok on the cooking surface If the wok has
a round metal ring which 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. Expo-
sure to carbon monoxide may cause birth defects or
other reproductive harm according to the California
safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act.
Be sure everyone in your home knows
what to do in case of fire!!

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, blrlh defects, or other reproducUve harm and requires businesses
to warn customers of potenUal exposure to such substances. Gas appllancas 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 L.P. fuels. Properly adjusted ranges, Indicated by a bluish rather than a yellow flame,
will mlnlmlze Incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be mlnlmlzed further by venting with an
open window or using a ventilation fan or hood.

To operate cooktop controls:
1. Push to turn knob left to LITE.
2. After the burner lights, turn knob to desired flame
setting.
COOKTOP
CONTROL
If acooktop burner falls to light within five seconds, turn
the knob to OFF and wait one minute before trying
again.
Ifthe burner still will not light, check the sep_lce section
In this manual.
As a safety precaution you should set
controls so flame heats pan bottom
only and does not lick pan sides.
Flames licking pan sides are unsafe
and waste heat.
OVEN
To use your oven or broiler.
1. Push in and set the OVEN CONTROL to desired
temperature or to BROIL. When broiling, be sure to
set the knob to the mark In the BROIL section of the
knob.
2. When finished, turn OVEN CONTROL to OFF.
OVENCONTROL
BURNER IGNITION
When you turn a control knob to LITE, gas flows
to the burner and is ignited by a pilot flame. The
pilot flame bums constantly.
TO LIGHT COOKTOP PILOTS:
1. Turn all control knobs to OFF and wait one minute.
2. Remove the burner grates and drip bowl liners (on
some models). Raise the cooktop (grasp at front and
lift). Raise the support rod to hold cooktop.
3. The pilots are located between the front and rear
burner on each side of the cooktop. Light pllots with
a match.
WOK COOKING
We recommend that you use only a flat-bottomed wok.
Flat-bottomed woks are available at your local retail
store.
Do not use woks which 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
damage the burner grate and burner head. Also, placing
the Hng over the burner grate may cause the burner to
w()rk Improperly resulting In carbon monoxide levels
above allowable_urrent standards. This could be dan-
gerous to your health. Sea the Safety Section of this
manual. DO not try to use such woks without the ring.
You could be seriously burned if the wok tipped over.

NGMTC22
OVEN COOKING
When cooking a food for the first time In your new
oven, use time given on recipes as a guido.
Your new oven has been set correctly at the factory
and Is more apt to be accurate than the oven It
replaced.
After you have used your oven for awhile, If you feel
your oven should be hotter or COoler,you can adjust
It yourself. See TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENTS In
this manual.
Always follow recipe carefully.
Measure Ingredients properly.
Use proper pen placement.
Place pans on the oven racks with 1" to I 1/2" of air
space on all sides of each pan. Avoid overcrowding
the oven.
Pans too close to each other, to oven walls or to the
oven bottom, block the free movement of air. Im-
proper air movement causes uneven browning and
cooking.
2 cake layers
4 cake layers
When baking several Items stagger pans so that no
pan Is direcUy above another.
Let the oven preheat thoroughly before cooking
baked products. Allow !0 m!nutes for preheating.
Opening the dour too often to check food during
baking will allow heat loss and may cause poor
baking results.
Cakes, cooklea, muffins, and quick breads should
be baked In shiny pans -- to reflect the heat --
because they should have a light golden crust.
Yeast breads and pie crusts should be baked In
glass or dull (non-shiny) pans -- to absorb the heat
-- because they should have a brown, crisp crust.
Be sure the underside of the pan Is shiny, too.
Darkened undorsldes will absorb the heat and may
cause over browning on the bottom of your food.
Oven temperatures should be reduced 25 degrees
below recommended temperatures If exterior of pan
Is pradarkenad, darkened by age or oven proof
glass.
There may be some odor when the oven Is flrat used.
This Is caused by the heating of new parts and
Insulation.
Do not cover an entire oven rack with loll. The foil
can block normal heat flow and cause poor baking
results. Do not place any foil directly on the oven
bottom. Foil used on the oven bottom may damage
the oven surface; therefore, It should not be used.
Cookies should be baked on flat cookie sheets
without sides to allow the air to circulate properly.
When recipes require preheating, have food nearby
before you open the oven door. If the oven door is
ailowad to remain open for more than a brief time,
the preheat temperature will be lost.
OVEN VENT
When the oven Is on, heated air moves through a vent In
or below the backguard behind the cooktop. On the
cooktop, this hot air may make pot handles hot or melt
plastic Items left too near the vent.
The vent Is necessary for proper air circulation In the
oven and good baking results. Do not block this
vent. Doing so may cause cooking failurej fire or
damage to the range.
MOISTURE
As your oven heats up, the temperature change of the air
in the oven may cause water droplats to form on the door
or door glass. To prevent this, open the oven door for
the first minute of oven heat up to let the moist air out.
7 NGOVC07-3
BROILING
• Broiling Is cooking by direct heat from the broil
burner. Tender cuts of meat or marinated meat
should be selected for broiling. For best results
steaks and chops should be at least 3/4" thick.
After placing food on the broiler pan, put the pan on
the rack In the lower broiler compartment. The
recommended rack position and cooking time can
he found In the chart at right.
The closer the food Is to the broil burner, the faster
the meat browns on the outside, yet stays red to pink
In thecenter. Moving the meat farther away from the
burner lets the meat cook to the center while brown-
Ingoutside. Sldaone should becooked I - 2 minutes
longer than side two.
iA I
completely closed while broiling.
Usa only the broiler pan and grid that came with your
range for broiling. They are designed for proper
drainage of fat and liquids and help prevent spefter,
smoke or fire.
Do not preheat when broiling. Preheating may
cause the thermostat to cycle the broil burner off
and on. For even broiling on both sides, start the
food on a cold pan.
Trim the outer layer of fat from steaks and chops.
Slit the fatty edges to keep the meat from curling.
For maxlmum juiciness, salt the fl rat side just before
turning the meat. Salt the second side Just before
sarving.
Brush chicken and fish with butter several tlmea as
they broil When broiling fish, grease the grid to
prevent sticking and broil with skin side down. It Is
not necessary to turn fish.
Never leave a soiled broiler pan In the range. Grease
In the pan may smoke or burn the next time the oven
is used.
Be sure you know the correct procedure for putting
out a grease fire. See the section on safety.
The removable roll-out broiler drawer should never
be used as a storage compartment. Cookware,
bakeware, plastics, flammable materials, or any
other Items, could catch flre resulting In serious
burns.
Do cot cover the entire broiler grid
with foil. Poor drainage of hot fat
may cause a broiler fire.
If a fire starts, close the oven door
and turn controls off. If fire contin.
ues, throw baking soda on the fire.
Do not put water on the fire.
POSITIONING BROILER PAN
After piecing food on the broiler pen, slide the pan Into
the proper rack position In the lower broiling compart-
ment.

"DO-IT-YOURSELF" TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENTS
You may feel that your new oven cooks differently than
the oven It replaced. We recommend that you use your
new oven a few weeks to become more familiar with It,
following the times given In your recipes as a guide.
If you think your new oven Istoo hot (burnlng foods) or
not hot enough (foods are under-cooked) you can adjust
the temperature yourself. The appearance and ;exture
of foods are better Indicators of oven accuracy than
Inexpensive oven thermometers, such asthose found In
;he grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of
your new oven. These thermometers can vary by 20-
40°F. In addition, the oven door must be opened to read
these thermometers. Opening the door will change the
temperature of the oven.
3. Use a screwdrlver to carefully loosen both screws.
4. To make your oven temperature HOTTER, hold the
knob by the handle and turn the knob skirt so the top
screw moves toward the word hotter° As you turn the
skirt you will hear clicks and feel notches or teeth.
Each click or notch will adjust the temperature 15°F
# hotter.
TOPSCREWMOVES
TOWARDHOTTER
To decide how much to change the temperature, set the
oven temperature 25°F lower (If foods are burning) than
the temperature In your recipe, then bake. The result of
this "test" should give you an Idea of how much the
temperature should be changed.
TO MAKE THE TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT:
1. Make sure the oven control knob Is In the OFF
[_osltlon. Remove the knob by pulling It straight off.
2. Look at the back of the knob. The pointer In the
center Indicates the orlglnal temperature setting.
POtNTER
5. To make your oven temperature COOLER, hold the
knob by the handle and tum the knob skirt so that the
top screw moves toward the word cooler. As you
turn the skirt you will hear clicks and feel notches or
teeth. Each click or notch will adjust the temperature
15°F cooler.
