INSTRUCTIONS.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of tipping of the

appliance from abnormal usage or by excessive loading
of the oven door, the appliance must be secured by a

properly installed anti-tip device.

Ifthe range is moved from the wall, be sure the anti-tip

device is engaged when the range is replaced. Look

underneath range to verify that one of the rear leveling
legs is properly engaged in the bracket slot.

The anti-tip device secures the rear leveling leg to the
floor when properly engaged. Also, be sure the range is

properly re-installed.

The following instructions are based on safety

considerations and must be strictly followed to eliminate
the potential risks of fire, electric shock, or personal injury.

Have your appliance installed and properly grounded by a

qualified installer according to the installation instructions.

Have the installer show you the location of the gas shut off

valve and how to shut it off in an emergency.

Always disconnect power to appliance before servicing.

To ensure proper operation and avoid possible injury or
damage to unit do not attempt to adjust, repair, service, or

replace any part of your appliance unless it isspecifically
recommended in this book. All other servicing should be

referred to a qualified installer or servicer•

Be sure all packing materials are removed from the
appliance before operating it•

Keep area around appliance clear and free from
combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable

vapors and materials.

If appliance is installed near a window, proper precautions
should be taken to prevent curtains from blowing over

burners.

NEVER leave any items on the cooktop. The hot air from
the vent may ignite flammable items and may increase

pressure in closed containers which may cause them to
burst.

Many plastics are vulnerable to heat. Keep plastics away
from parts of the appliance that may become warm or hot.

Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop as they may

melt or soften if left too close to the vent or a lighted
surface burner.

Many aerosol-type spray cans are EXPLOSIVE when
exposed to heat and may be highly flammable. Avoid their

use or storage near an appliance.

To eliminate the hazard of reaching over hot surface
burners, cabinet storage should not be provided directly

above a unit. If such storage is provided, it should be
limited to items which are used infrequently and which are

safely stored in an area subjected to heat from an

appliance. Temperatures may be unsafe for some items,
such as volatile liquids, cleaners or aerosol sprays.

Turn off appliance and ventilating hood to avoid spreading
the flame. Extinguish flame then turn on hood to remove
smoke and odor.

Use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher or baking

soda to smother fire or flame• Never use water on a
grease fire.

If fire is in the oven or broiler pan, smother by closing

oven door.
If fire is in a pan on the surface burner, cover pan. Never

attempt to pick up or move a flaming pan.

NEVER leave children alone or unsupervised near the
appliance when it is in use or is still hot. NEVER allow

children to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.

Children must be taught that the
appliance and utensils in it can be

hot. Let hot utensils coot in a safe

place, out of reach of small children.
Children should be taught that an

appliance is not a toy. Children
should not be allowed to play with

controls or other parts of the unit.
CAUTION: NEVER store items of

interest to children in cabinets above

an appliance or on the backguard of

a range. Children climbing on the
appliance or on the appliance door

to reach items could be seriously injured.

!!!!if!+

HEYER use appliance as
a space heater to heat or

warm a room to prevent

potential hazard to the
user and damage to the

appliance. Also, do not
use the cooktop or oven

as a storage area for food
or cooking utensils.

Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air

by blocking the oven vent or air intakes. Restriction of air
flow to the burner prevents proper performance and

increases carbon monoxide emission to unsafe levels.

Avoid touching oven vent area while oven is on and for
several minutes after oven is turned off. Some parts of the
vent and surrounding area become hot enough to cause

burns. After oven is turned off, do not touch the oven vent
or surrounding areas until they have had sufficient time to

cool.

WARNING: NEVER use
appliance door or drawer, if

equipped, as a step stool or
seat as this may result in

possible tippingof the
appliance, damage to the

appliance, and serious
injury.

Do not touch a hot oven light bulb with a damp cloth as

the bulb could break. Should the bulb break, disconnect

power to the appliance before removing bulb to avoid
electrical shock.

Always place a pan on a surface burner before turning it
on. Be sure you know which knob controls which surface

burner. Make sure the correct burner is turned on and that
the burner has ignited. When cooking is completed, turn

burner off before removing pan to prevent exposure to
burner flame.

Always adjust surface burner flame so that it does not
extend beyond the bottom edge of the pan. An excessive

flame is hazardous, wastes energy and may damage the
appliance, pan or cabinets above the appliance.

NEVER leave a surface
cooking operation unattended

especially when using a high
heat setting or when deep fat

frying. Boilovers cause
smoking and greasy spillovers
may ignite. Clean upgreasy

spills as soon as possible. Do
not use high heat for extended

cooking operations.

NEVER heat an unopened container on the surface

burner or in the oven. Pressure build-up may cause
container to burst resulting in serious personal injury or

damage to the appliance.

Use dry, sturdy pot holders. Damp pot holders may cause

burns from steam. Dish towels or other substitutes should

never be used as pot holders because they can trail

across hot surface burners and ignite or get caught on
appliance parts.

Always let quantities of hot fat used for deep fat frying
cool before attempting to move or handle.

Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials
accumulate inor near the appliance, hood or vent fan.

Clean hood frequently to prevent grease from
accumulating on hood or filter. When flaming foods under

the hood, turn the fan on.

NEVER wear garments
made of flammable material

or loose fitting or long
hanging-sleeved apparel

while cooking. Clothing may
ignite or catch utensil

handles.

Always place oven racks in the desired positions while
oven is cool. Slide oven rack out to add or remove food,

using dry sturdy pot holders. Always avoid reaching into
the oven to add or remove food. If a rack must be moved

while hot, use a dry pot holder. Always turn the oven off at
the end of cooking.

Use care when opening the oven door. Let hot air or

steam escape before removing or replacing food.

PREPARED FOOD WARNING: Follow food
manufacturer's instructions. If a plastic frozen food

container and/or its cover distorts, warps, or is otherwise
damaged during cooking, immediately discard the food

and its container. The food could be contaminated.

Use pans with flat bottoms and handles that are easily

grasped and stay cool. Avoid using unstable, warped,

easily tipped or loose handled pans. Also avoid using

small pans, especially small pans with heavy handles, as
they can be unstable and easily tip. Pans that are heavy

to move when filled with food may also be hazardous.

Be sure utensil is large enough to properly contain food
and avoid boilovers. Pan size is particularly important in
deep fat frying. Be sure pan will accommodate the volume

of food that is to be added as well as the bubble action of
fat.

To minimize burns, ignition of flammable materials and
spillage due to unintentional contact with the utensil, do

not extend handles
over adjacent surface

burners. Always turn
pan handles toward

the side or back of the
appliance, not out into

the room where they
are easily hit or
reached by small

children.

Never let a pan boil dry as this could damage the utensil
and the appliance.

Follow the manufacturer's directions when using oven

cooking bags.

Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, or

glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop or oven usage
without breaking due to the sudden change in

temperature.

"Yourrange is equipped with pilotless ignition. Be sure all
surface controls are set in the OFF position prior to

supplying gas to the appliance.

IMPORTANT: When the appliance is first installed, the

surface burners may be difficult to light due to air in the
gas line. This may also occur if the appliance has been

disconnected from the main gas supply or if it has not
been used for several days or weeks.

To remove the air in the gas line, hold a tighted match
next to the burner head and turn the knob on. When

the burner lights, either adjust the knob to the desired
flame size or turn the burner off.

Pilotless ignitionuses a spark from the ignitor to light the

burner. There are two ignitors for conventional surface
burners. Each sealed burner has its own ignitor. Once the
burner tights, turn the knob to the desired setting. The

clicking sound will not stop until the knob is turned from
the LITE position.

NOTE: The surface burner will not light if the ignitor is

damaged, broken, soiled or wet. Also, the burner will not

light if the small port beneath the ignitor is blocked. See
page 23 for cleaning instructions.

To prevent damage to the cooktop or pan, never operate
surface burner without a pan in place, never allow a pan

to boil dry and never operate a surface burner on HIGH
for extended periods of time.

To light surface burner:

1. Place a pan on the burner grate.
NOTE: The burner flame may lift off the burner head

and a "roaring" sound may be heard if a pan is not
placed on the grate before lighting the burner.

2. Push in and turn knob to the LITE position.

3. After the burner lights, turn the knob to the desired
flame size. The ignitors will continue to spark until the

knob is turned from the LITE position,

CAUTION: Ifthe flame should go out during a cooking
operation, turn the burner off. If gas has accumulated

and a strong gas odor is detected, wait 5 minutes for
the gas odor to disappear before relighting burner.

To light surface burner during a power failure:

1. Be sure all controls are in the OFF position.

2. Hold a lighted match to the desired surface burner
head.

3. Push in and turn knob to the LITE position. The burner
will then light.

4. Adjust the flame to the desired flame size.

CAUTION: When lighting the surface burner, be sure
all ofthe controls are in the OFF position. Strike the
match first and hold it in position before turning the

knob to the LITE position.

Use a HIGH flame setting to quickly bring liquids to a boil
or to begin a cooking operation. Then reduce to a lower
setting to contin ue cooking. Never leave food

unattended when using a HIGH flame setting.

A properly adjusted burner with clean ports will light within
a few seconds.

On natural gas, the flame will be blue with a deeper blue
core; there should be no trace of yellow in the flame.

A yellow flame indicates an improper mixture of air/gas.
This wastes fuel, so have a serviceman adjust the mixture

if a yellow flame occurs.
On LP gas, some yellow tipping is acceptable. This is

normal and adjustment is not necessary.

An intermediate flame size is used to continue a cooking

operation. Food will not cook any faster when a higher
flame setting is used than needed to maintain a gentle

boil. Remember, water boils at the same temperature

whether boiling gently orvigorously.

Use LO to simmer or keep foods at serving temperatures.

Some cooking may take place on the LO setting if the
cooking utensil is covered. If food does boil on the LO
setting, it is possible to reduce the heat by rotating the

knob toward the OFF position.

You may hear a "popping" sound on some types of gas

when the surface burner is turned off. This is a normal

operating sound of the burner.

Adjust the flame size so it
does not extend beyond
the edge of the cooking

utensil. This isfor personal
safety and to prevent

possible damage to the
appliance, pan, or cabinets

above the appliance. This
also improves cooking

efficiency.

NOTE: If a knob is turned very quickly from the HI to the
LO setting, the flame may go out, particularly if the burner
iscold. If this occurs, turn the knob to the OFF position.

Wait several seconds, then light the burner again.

Be sure to adjust the knob so there is an adequate supply
of gas to maintain a stable flame on the burner. Check to
be sure burner is lit and the flame is stable.

area.

The two surface burner assemblies are secured in place

during transportation with screws. Once the range is

installed, these screws may be removed to allow quick

and easy removal of the burner assemblies.

To remove: Allow the burner assembly to cool. Lift up
cooktop. Grasp the burner assembly and rotate it sfightly

toward the left to release the two tabs on the assembly.
Then lift the assembly and pull toward the back of the

cooktop until the air shutter ends on the assembly release
from the valves.

To replace: Insert the air shutter ends on the burner

assembly over the valves and lower the assembly into
place. Be sure to secure the two tabs on the burner

assembly into the two slots on the burner support bracket

which is mounted to the burner box bottom. (NOTE: If the

tabs are notproperly inserted into the slots, the assembly
may rock and the burners may not light properly.)

The porcelain on the burner is durable but over time and
with use may gradually lose its shine.

The sealed surface burners are secured to the cooktop
and are NOT designed to be removed by the consumer.

Select models feature one or two special SUPER HIGH
SPEED sealed burners located at the right-front and

left-rear. Use these burners to quickly bring water to a boil
and when using larger pans. See information on rating

plate, located on the lower range front frame behind the
broiler door or lower panel, to determine if your appliance

features these burners.
Clean burner cap after each use especially if a spillover

occurs. A soiled burner may result in improper ignition or
an uneven flame. When cleaning the sealed surface

burner, use care to prevent damage to the ignitor. If a
cleaning cloth should catch the ignitor, it could be

damaged or broken.

-" Port directly below ignitor

The surface burner will not light if the ignitor is damaged,
broken, soiled or wet. The burner will also not light if the
ports, especially the small port located directly below the

ignitor, are blocked.
NOTE: When one surface burner is turned to the LITE

position, all four ignitors will spark. Once the burner lights,
turn the knob to the desired flame size.

Cookware which extends more than two inches beyond

the grate, rests on two grates, or touches the cooktop may

cause a build up of heat which may result in damage to

the the burner grate, burner or cooktop.

Cookware, such as a wok with a support ring, which

restricts air circulation around the burner witl cause heat

to build up and may result in damage to the burner grate,

burner or cooktop.

Foods cook faster when the cookware is covered because

more heat is retained. Lower the flame size when

cookware is covered.

The cooking performance is greatly affected by the type of

cookware used. Proper cookware will reduce cooking
times, use less energy and produce more even cooking

results. For best results use a heavy gauge metal pan
with a smooth flat bottom, straight sides and atight fitting

lid.

Cookware with uneven, warped, or grooved bottoms do

not make good contact with the heating surface, will

reduce heat conductivity and result in slower, less even

heating.
To determine the flatness of the bottom of a pan, place the

edge of a ruler across the bottom of the utensil. Hold it up
to the light. Little or no light should be visible under the

ruler.

E

The pan material determines how evenly and quickly heat
is conducted from the heat source to the food. Some

widely used pan materials are:

Aluminum - excellent heat conductor. Some foods will

cause it to darken or pit. Often used as a bottom coating
to improve the heating of other pan materials.

Copper - excellent heat conductor. Discolors easily,
requires constant polishing. Often used as a bottom

coating to improve the heating of other pan materials.

Stainless Steel - slow conductor of heat. Develops hot
spots and produces uneven cooking results. Durable,

attractive, easy to clean and stain resistant. Wilt distribute

heat better if other metals (aluminum or copper) are

combined or sandwiched together as a bottom coating.

Cast Iron - slow heat conductor. Cooks evenly once
temperature is reached. Heavy. Needs seasoning to make
cleaning easier and to prevent sticking and rusting.

Glass - slow heat conductor. Easy to clean. Some types
may only be used in the oven.

Porcelain Enamel - glass-like substance fused to metal.
Heating characteristics depend on base material. Easy to

clean.

Acceptable water-bath or pressure canners should not
be oversized and should not rest on two burner grates.

They should also have flat bottoms.
When canning, use the HI setting just until the water

comes to a boil or pressure is reached in a pressure
canner, then reduce to a setting that maintains the
pressure or a boil.

Prolonged use of the HI setting, the use of incorrect
canning utensils, or the use of improper canning

techniques may produce excessive heat and result in
permanent damage to the appliance.

The oven vent is located at the base of the backguard.
When the oven is in use, this area may feel warm or hot to

the touch.
To prevent baking problems, do not block the vent

opening in any way. Also, do not place plastics near the
vent opening as heat from the vent could distort or melt

the plastic.

Preheating is necessary for baking. Allow about 8 to 15

minutes for the oven to preheat. A single beep will
indicate that the oven is preheated. It is not necessary to

preheat for roasting.

Cool(ware material plays an important part in baking
results. Always use the type and size of pan calted for in

the recipe. Cooking times or cooking results may be
affected if the wrong size is used.

Selecting a temperature higher than desired will NOT
preheat the oven any faster, and may have a negative
effect on baking results.

• A shiny metal pan reflects heat away from the food.
This type of pan produces lighter browning and asofter

crust. Use shiny pans for baking cakes or cookies.

Do not cover an entire rack with foil or place foil directly
under cookware. To catch spillovers, place a piece of foil, a

little larger than the pan, on the rack below the pan. Do not
place foil on the oven bottom.

Oven characteristics: Each oven has its own personal

baking characteristics. Therefore, do not expect that your

new oven wilt perform exactly like your previous oven. You

may find that the cooking times, oven temperatures, and
cooking results differ somewhat from your previous range.
Allow a period of adjustment.

Use a reliable recipe and accurately measure fresh
ingredients. Carefully follow directions for oven

temperature and cooking time.
Use the correct rack position. Baking results may be

affected if the wrong rack is used. For optimum results,
bake foods on one rack. Select a rack position that

locates the food in the center of the oven. If baking on two
racks, select rack positions #2 and 4, #1 and 4 or #2 and

5.

Top browning may be darker if food is located
toward the top of the oven.

Bottom browning may be darker if food is located
toward the bottom of the oven.

When using two racks for baking, allow enough space
between the racks for proper air circulation. Browning

and cooking results will be affected if air flow is
blocked.

A dark metal, dull, anodized or satin-finish pan

absorbs heat and produces darker browning with a

crisper crust. Use dark pans for pies, pie crusts or
bread.

• For optimum baking results, bake cookies and biscuits
on a flat cookie sheet. If the pan has sides, such as a

jelly roll pan, browning may not be even.

If using heat-proof glassware, or dark pans such as
Baker's Secret or Wilton reduce the oven temperature

by 25°F except when baking pies or bread. Use the
same baking time as called for in the recipe.

Allow hot air to flow freely through the oven for
optimum baking results. Improper placement of pans in

the oven will block air flow and may result in uneven
browning. For optimum browning and even cooking

results:

• Do not crowd a rack with pans. Never place more than
one cookie sheet, one 13x9x2-inch cake pan or two

9-inch round cake pans on one rack.

• Stagger pans when baking on two racks so one pan is

not directly over another pan.

• Allow two inches between the pan and the oven waits.

Check the cooking progress at the minimum time

recommended in the recipe. If necessary, continue

checking at intervals untilthe food is done. If the oven
door is opened too frequently, heat will escape the oven;

this can affect baking results and wastes energy.

Ifyou add additional ingredients or alter the recipe,
expect cooking times to increase or decrease slightly.

COMMON BAKING PROBLEMS AND WHY THEY HAPPEN

Cakes, cookies, biscuits
too brown on bottom.

• Oven not preheated. = Pans touching each other oroven walls. • Incorrect rack
position. • Incorrect use of aluminum foil. • Placed 2 cookie sheets on one rack. • Used

glass, dark, stained warped or dull finish metal pans. (Use a shiny cookie sheet.)

Follow cookware manufacturer's instructionsfor oven temperature. Glassware and dark

cookware such as Ecko's Baker's Secret may require lowering the oven temperature by

25OE

Excessive shrinkage. • Too little leavening. • Overmixing. • Pan too large. • Temperature set too high.

• Baking time too long. • Pans too close to each other or oven wails.

.................i

Cakes have tunnels. • Not enough shortening. =Too much baking powder. • Overmixing or at too higha

speed. • Temperature set too high.

Roasting is the method for cooking large, tender cuts of
meat uncovered, without adding moisture. Most meats are
roasted at 325°F. it is not necessary to preheat the oven.

Place the roasting pan on either of the two lowest rack
positions.

Use tender cuts of meat weighing three pounds or more.
Some good choices are: Beef rib, ribeye, top round, high
quality tip and rump roast, pork loin roast, leg of lamb,

veal shoulder roast and cured or smoked hams.

Season meat, if desired, either before or after roasting.

Rub into the surface of the roast if added before cooking,

Place the meat fat-side-up on a rack in a shallow roasting
pan. Placing the meat on a rack holds it out of the

drippings, thus allowing better heat circulation for even
cooking. As the fat on top of the roast melts, the meat is

basted naturally, eliminating the need for additional
basting.

The cooking time is determined by the weight of the meat
and the desired doneness. For more accurate results, use

a meat thermometer. Insert it so the tip is in the center of
the thickest part of the meat. It should not touch fat or

bone.

Remove the roast from the oven when the thermometer

registers the desired internal temperature.

NOTE: For more information about food safety, call
USDA's Meat & Poultry Hotline at 1-800-535-4555. For

cooking information call or write to the National Cattle-
men's Beef Association, 444 North Michigan Avenue,
Chicago, Illinois 60611, or call 1-800-368-3138.

Broiling is a method of cooking tender meats by direct

heat. The cooking time is determined by the distance
between the meat and the broil burner, the desired degree
of doneness and the thickness of the meat.

Broiling requires the use of the broiler pan and insert. The
broiler insert must be inplace to allow fat and liquid to

drain to the pan below to prevent spatters, smoke and
flare-ups. Improper use may cause grease fires.

the broiler insert with aluminum foil as this prevents fat
from draining into pan below.

Trim excess fat and slash remaining fat to help keep meat
from curling and to reduce smoking and spattering•
Season meat after cooking.

Place oven rack in the correct rack position when oven is
cool. For darker browning, place meat closer to the broil
burner. Place meat further down if you wish meat to be

well done or if exce,_sive smoking or flaring occurs•

For easier clean up, line the broiler pan with foil and spray

the insert with a non-stick vegetable spray. Do not cover

See Care and Cleaning Chart on page 21 for instructions
on cleaning the broiler pan and insert.

BEFORE CLEAN CYCLE

• Remove pans, broiler pan, and
oven racks. Racks may discolor

and not slide easily after cleaning.

• Clean window, oven frame and
door frame. These areas are not

exposed to cleaning temperatures;
soil may bake on during clean

cycle.

° To prevent damage, do not clean •

gasket located on oven door.
Gasket seals in heat during the

clean cycle.

• To prevent excessive smoke or
flare-ups, wipe up excess grease

or spiltoversfrom oven bottom.

• Porcelain is acid resistant, not •
acid proof and may discolor during

the clean cycle. To prevent or

reduce discoloration, wipe up

sugar or acid spills (lemon, milk,

barbecue sauce, cheese).

DURING CLEAN CYCLE

As oven heats, the LOCK indicator
will tight in the display. At this
point, the door can not be

unlocked and opened.
To prevent damage to door or lock

lever, do not force door open
when the LOCK indicator is

displayed.
Some smoke and odor may be

detected the first few times the
oven is cleaned, This is normal

and will lessen in time.

• Smoke may occur if oven is
heavily soiled or ifbroiler pan was

left in oven.

As oven heats, you may hear
sounds of metal parts expanding

and contracting. This is normal
and will not damage oven,

AFTER CLEAN CYCLE

• The LOCK indicator will turn off

about one hourafter clean cycle
ends. The door can be unlocked

and opened. Use care as oven

may stillbe hot.

• A gray powdery ash may remain

on the oven bottom orwalls. This

is normal. Use a damp cloth to

remove ash.

• If soil remains, the clean cycle
may not have been long enough.

° Wipe oven racks with a small

amount of vegetable oil if racks do
not slide easily after clean cycle.

• Clean around oven vent opening if
there is a deposit from the fumes

vented during cleaning.

• Fine lines may appear in the
porcelain. This is normal and

results from the heating and
cooling of the finish. This will not

affect oven performance.

• A white discoloration may appear
after cleaning if acid soils (milk,

tomato, lemon, etc.) or sugary
soils were not wiped up before the

clean cycle. This discoloration is

normal and will not affect the
performance of the clean cycle.

All burners: For ease of cleaning, clean burners each time the cooktop is
used with warm soapy water. If a boilover occurs, remove pan to another

burner; cool burner and clean. To remove stubborn soil, use adry cloth and

mildly abrasive cleanser. Use care to prevent cleaner from clogging ports.
Burner must be dry before use. NOTE: Yellow tipping or distortion of the

flame may occur until the burner is completely dry.

Clean burner ports with a straight pin or small metal paper clip. Do not
enlarge or distort ports. Do not use a wooden toothpick as it may break off
and clog port. If ports are clogged orsoiled, the burner may not light properly

or the flame may not be even.
Conventional burners: Dry burners in the oven set at 170°E
Sealed burners: Sealed burner can not be removed by the consumer.

When cleaning burner, use care to prevent damage to the ignitor. Surface
burner will not light properly if ignitor is damaged, broken, soiled, or wet.
When cleaning the ports, be sure to clean the port directly below the ignitor.

The cooktop featuring conventional surface burners has a
lift-up cooktop for easy cleaning of the burner box area.

To raise the "lift-up" cooktop: When cool, grasp the
front edge of the cooktop and gently lift up until the two

support rods at the front of the cooktop snap into place.

i

Burner grates must be properly
positioned before cooking. Burner grates

are durable but may gradually lose their
shine due to usage and high
temperatures.

Grates for the porcelain cooktop are

square. When installing square grates,

place indented sides together so straight

sides are at front and rear.

CAUTION: Do not operate a surface burner without a
pan on the grate. The porcelain finish on the grate may

chip without a pan to absorb the intense heat from the
burner flame.

To lower the top: Hold the front edge of the cooktop and
carefully push back on each support rod to release the

notched support. Then gently lower the top into place. The

support rods will slide into the cooktop frame.

The sealed burner cooktop is designed with two contour
wells to catch and contain spills. Because of this design it

is not necessary to lift up the cooktop to clean
underneath. To prevent damage to the gas tubing or top,
do not attempt to lift or remove the cooktop.

The two oven racks are designed with a safety lock-stop
position to keep the racks from accidently coming
completely out of the oven when pulling the rack out to

add or remove food.

It is important that air can circulate freely within the oven
and around the food. To help ensure this, place food on
the center of the oven rack. Allow two inches between the

edge of the utensil(s) and the oven walls.

I CAUTION: Do not attempt to change the rack positions

when the oven is hot.

To remove: Be sure the rack is cool. Pull the rack straight
out until it stops at the lock-stop position. Tilt the front end

of the rack up and continue pulling the rack out of the
oven.

To replace: Place the rack on the rack supports and tilt
the front end of the rack up slightly. Slide it back until it

clears the lock-stop position. Lower the front and slide the

rack straight in. Pull the rack out to the lock-stop position

to be sure it is positioned correctly and then return it to its

normal position.

For optimum baking results of cakes, cookies or biscuits,
use one rack. Position the rack so the food isin the center of

the oven. Use either rack position 3 or 2.

If cooking on more than one rack, stagger the food to
ensure proper air flow.

If cooking on two racks, use rack positions 4 and 2 for

cakes and rack positions 4 and t when using cookie
sheets. Never place two cookie sheets on one rack.

If roasting a large turkey, place the turkey on rack 1 or the

roasting position and the side dishes on rack 5.

Do not place excessive weight on an open oven door or

stand on an open oven door as, in some cases, it could
cause the range to tip over, break the door or cause

serious injury to the user.
When opening the oven door, allow steam and hot air to

escape before reaching in oven to check, add or remove

food.

Do not attempt to open or close door until the door is

completely seated on the hinge arms. Never turn on the

oven unless door is properly in place. When baking, be
sure the door is completely closed. Baking results will be

affected if the door is not securely closed.
When the range is new the door may feel "spongy" when

you close the door. This is normal and will become less
"spongy" with use.

To remove lift-off door: Open the door to the "stop"

position (opened about 6 inches) and grasp the door with
both hands at each side. Do not use the door handle to lift

the door. Lift up evenly until the door clears the hinge
arms.

i i iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii i!iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!iiiiii

To protect the oven door window:

1. Do not use abrasive cleaning agents such as steel
wool scouring pads or powdered cleansers as they
may scratch the glass.

2. Do not hit the glass with pots, pans, furniture, toys, or
other objects.

3. Do not close the oven door until the oven racks are in
place.

Scratching, hitting, jarring or stressing the glass may

weaken its structure causing an increased risk of

breakage at a later date.

The oven door is locked for a self-clean operation only. Do
not move the door lock lever to the right or locked position

during a cooking operation. If the door is locked, the
operation will automatically be cancelled and "door" will

appear in the display. If the oven is hot enough to engage
the internal lock, the oven door witl not open. Allow the

oven to cool for up to an hour, then unlock and open the
door.

To replace door: Grasp the door at each side, align slots
in the door with the hinge arms and slide the door down

onto the hinge arms until door is seated on hinges. Push
down on top corners ofdoor to completely seat door on

hinges. The door is not completely seated on the hinges if
one side is higher or if the door appears to be crooked.

CAUTION: Hinge arms are spring mounted and wilt
slam shutagainst the range if accidently hit. Never
place hand or fingers between the hinges and the

front oven frame. You could be injured ifhinge snaps
