WARNING
All ranges can tip and cause injuries.
Install anti-tip device packaged with range.
Follow all Installation Instructions.
Make sure the anti-tip bracket is installed:
Slide range forward.
Make sure the anti-tip bracket is securely attached to the wall behind the range.
Safely tilt the front of the range upward slightly and move back against wall, Making
sure the pin slides under bracket.
Important Safety Information
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 fuel. When operating your range on natural gas, the flames from the burners
should be blue in color. In addition, the flames should be stable, free of yellow tipping,
excessive noise and lifting. However, this yellow tipping should be restricted to the primary
flame kernels only. Properly adjusted burners, indicated by a bluish rather than a yellow
flame, will minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure to those substances can be
minimized by venting with an open window or use of a ventilation fan or hood.
!
Do not store or use gasoline, liquid propane cylinder or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this appliance.
The installation and service of your range must be preformed by a qualified installer, an
approved service agency or the gas supplier.

Oven Vent
•Do not block the ducts at the rear of the range when cooking in the oven. It is
important that the flow of hot air from the oven and fresh air into the oven burner
never be interrupted. Avoid touching the vent opening or nearby surfaces during
oven or broiler operation – they may become hot.

bake setting.
Infrared Broil
The broil burner is located at the top of the oven. This burner heats the metal screen until it
glows. The glowing screen produces the infrared heat, searing the outside of broiled foods and
sealing in juices.
Convection Bake
Heat is transferred from the bake burners in the bottom of the oven cavity to the oven cavity
itself. The convection fan in the rear of the oven then circulates it. This convection process
provides more even heat distribution throughout the oven cavity. Multiple rack use is possible
for the largest baking job. Convection cooking is faster, can be accomplished at lower
temperatures and provides more even temperatures than with regular cooking.
Convection Roast
The convection fan circulates the heated air evenl

The heated air seals in juices quickly for a moist and tender product while, at the same time,
creating a rich golden brown exterior. When convection roasting, it is important that you use
the broiler pan for best convection roasting results. The pan is used to catch grease spills and
has a cover to prevent grease splatters.

Note: Door must be closed during broiling operation.
Broiling is a method of cooking tender cuts of meat directly under the infrared broiler in the
oven . Broiling in the oven is accomplished with the oven door closed. It is normal and
necessary for some smoke to be present to give the food a broiled flavor.
Preheating
Preheating is suggested when searing rare steaks (Remove the broiler pan before preheating
with the infrared broiler. Foods will stick on hot metal). To preheat, turn the “Oven” selector

”
Preheating is not necessary when broiling meat well-done.
To Broil
Broil one side until the food is browned; turn and cook on the second side. Season and serve.
Always pull the rack out to the “stop” position before turning or removing food.
The “Oven” selector knob controls the Broil feature. When broiling, heat radiates downward
from the oven broiler for even coverage. The Broil feature temperature is 500˚F (260˚C).
.
The broil pan and insert used together allow dripping grease to drain and be kept away from
the high heat of the oven broiler. DO NOT use the broil pan without the insert. DO NOT
cover the broil pan insert with foil. The exposed grease could catch fire.
o set the oven to Broil:
1.Place the broiler pan insert on the broiler pan. Then place the food on the broiler pan insert
2.Arrange the interior oven rack and place the broiler pan on rack. Be sure to center the broiler
pan and position directly under the broil burner. If preheating the broil burner first, position
the broiler pan after the broil burner is preheated.
