tlMPORTANT SAFETY NOT_CEt
The Cafifornia Safe Drinking Water and Toxic
Enforcement Act requires the governor of
Cafifornia to publish a list of substances
known to the state to cause 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 L.P. fuels.
Properly adjusted appliances, indicated by
the bluish rather than a yellow flame, wilt
minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure
to these substances can be minimized by
further venting with an open window or using
a ventilation fan or hood.
If you intend to use Liquefied Petroleum
Gas (bottled gas) all L.P. adjustments in
the Installation Instructions must be made
before using your oven.
ff your oven is not properly adjusted,
flames may be too high, or the oven may
use too much fuel, release toxic fumes or
cook poorly.
The oven, as shipped from the factory, can
only be operated with natural gas. Do not try
to operate it with L.P. (bottled) gas. High
flames and toxic fumes could cause serious
injury. If you wish to use your oven with L.Po
gas, you must convert the range following
the procedure found in the installation
instructions shipped with your oven.

OVENCOOKINGTIPS
It is normal to have some odor when using your
oven for the first time, This is caused by the
heating of new parts and insulation_
To help eliminate this odor, ventilate the
room by opening a window or using a
vent hood.
IMPORTANT:
oven bottom or
oven rack with
aluminum foil.
Improper use can
Never cover the
cause poor heat
flow, poor baking
results, and may damage the oven finish
Let the oven preheat thoroughly when recipes
call for preheating Preheating is bringing the
temperature up to the temperature you will be
using during baking When the oven has
reached the preheat temperature, a tone will
sound. Have foods nearby ready to place in
the oven.
In the back of the oven ,you will notice a small
tube, This is a heat sensor that maintains the
temperature of the oven Never move or bend
this tube
OVEN TEMPERATURE SENSOR
The oven vent is located above the oven door
This area could become hot during oven use
The vent is important for proper air circulation,
Never block this vent.
Opening the door often to check foods will
cause heat loss and poor baking results
10 oven cooking tips continued
OVENCOOKIN6TiPS
During any oven operation you may hear a fan
noise This is the intemal cooling fan that
keeps all electrical parts from overheating. It
is not uncommon for this fan to keep running
even after the oven is turned off
FLA T COOKIE SHEETS
Flat cookie sheets allow
airtocirculate alt around
the cookies for even
browning,
SHINY PANS
(reflect heat) "X
Shiny pans are perfect for cakes and quick
breads that have a golden brown crust /
GLASS, DARK NON.STICK, OR
DARKENED BY AGE BAKEWARE
(absorb heat)
Perfect for yeast breads, pie crust or foods that
have a brown crust. The oven temperature
should be reduced by 25°F
As the oven heats, the change in temperature
inside the oven causes water droplets to form
on the oven door glass To prevent this, open
the door momentarily to allow the moist air out.
If baking with more than one pan, place the
pans so each has at least 1 to 1 1/2" of air
space around it. Place pans so one is not
directly above the other
The Oven Temperature Sensor at the back of
the oven continuously senses and controls the
temperature inside the oven. To keep a
constant set tempera ture, the burner will cycle
or tum on and off during cooking
The low temperature zone of your oven
(between 170_and 2OO°F) is available tokeep
hot cooked foods warm However, foods kept
at these temperatures longer than 2 hours
may spoil
When using your convenient Delay Start
operation, foods such as dairy products, fish,
poultry, etc ,should never sit more than 1hour
before cooking Room temperatures and the
heat from the oven light promote bacterial

When the racks
are placed correctly in the oven, the guides
have a bump to prevent the racks from tilting,
Your oven has four (4) rack positions that may
be used during cooking..
The top position is only a guide, it
cannot be used as a rack position.
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 See Do It Yourseff Adjustment in back
of this manual to make the adjustment ff you

BROILING
Broiling is cooking by direct
heat from the broil burner
The oven door should remain
closed during broiling.
It is not necessary to preheat
the oven when broiling, Use
the broiler pan and grid that
came with .your range. Both are designed for
proper drainage of fat and fiquids
to the grid and silts cut into
the foil to match those of the
Foil must be molded tightly
grid. This allows fats and
liquids to drain into the
broiler pan, preventing fire
and excessive smoke.
Always remove the pan
and grid from the oven.
Storing or forgetting a
soiled broiler pan in the
oyen is a poten tial smoke
or fire hazard.
The US. Department of Agriculture notes
that meat cooked rare is popular, but meat
cooked to only 140° F (rare) means that some
poisoning organisms may survive.
Moving meats away from the burner wilt allow
the meat to cook to the center while browning
on the outside. Using this positioning, cook
side I at least 2 minutes longer than side 2. Be
sure the sump of the broiler pan is always
facing to the front of the oven.
The size, weight, thickness, startingtemperature
and your preference of the doneness of the meat
will affect broiling.
After placing food on the broiler pan, slide the
pan into the proper rack position in the lower
broiling compartment.
Be sure the sump (grease well) in the pan is to
the front of the range
