Important Safety Instructions Continued

. Install or locate the oven only in accordance

with the provided Installation Instructions. It is recommended that the oven be installed by a qualified installer. The oven must be properly connected to the proper gas supply and checked for leaks. The oven must also be properly connected to electrical supply and grounded.

Gas fuels and combustion can result in potential exposure to chemicals known to cause cancer or reproductive harm. For example, benzene is a chemical which is a part of the gas supplied to the oven. It is consumed in the flame during combustion. However, exposure to a small amount of benzene is possible if a gas leak occurs. Formaldehyde, carbon monoxide and soot are by-products of incomplete combustion. Properly adjusted burners with a bluish rather than a yellow flame will minimize incomplete combustion.

Do not operate the oven if it is not working properly, or if it has been damaged.

Do not use the oven for warming or heating the room. Persons could be burned or injured, or a fire could start.

Do not attempt to light the oven burner during a power failure. Personal injury could result.

Use the oven only for its intended use as described in this manual.

Do not wear loose or hanging garments when using the oven. They could ignite if they touch a hot surface and you could be burned.

Do not touch interior surfaces of oven.

Interior surfaces of an oven become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact interior surfaces of oven until they have had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the oven may become hot enough to cause burns; such as, the oven vent opening, the surface near the vent opening, the oven door and the oven door window.

Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not use a towel or bulky cloth for a potholder. They could catch on fire.

9 Do not heat unopened containers. They

could explode. The hot contents could cause burns and container particles could cause injury.

Grease is flammable and should be handled carefully. Let fat cool before attempting to handle it. Wipe spill-overs immediately.

Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Smother flaming pan by covering with a well-fitted lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Flaming grease outside of pan can be extinguished with baking soda or, if available, a multipurpose dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.

9 Use care when opening oven door. Let hot

air or steam escape before removing or replacing food.

Always position oven rack(s) in desired location while oven is cool.

Do not store flammable materials in or near the oven. They could explode or burn.

Do not store things children might want above the oven. Children could be burned or injured while climbing on it.

Do not leave children alone or unattended in area where the oven is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the oven. They could be burned or injured.

Never use a match or other flame to look for a gas leak. Explosion and injury could result.

9 Know where your main gas shut off valve is

located.

Keep oven vents unobstructed.

Clean your oven regularly. See care and cleaning instructions in this manual.

Be sure all oven parts are cool before cleaning.

Do not clean door seal. It is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage, or move the seal. Clean only parts recommended in this Use and Care Guide.

. Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial

oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind should be used in or around any part of the oven.

. Do not repair or replace any part of the oven

unless specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.

Disconnect the electrical supply before servicing the oven.

Using Your Oven

This oven is equipped with an electronic ignitor. The electronic ignitor automatically lights the oven burner each time it is used. This oven cannot be used in case of prolonged power failure.

Setting the clock

Push in and turn the Minute Timer Knob to set the Clock.

1. Push in Minute Timer Knob and turn in either direction until clock shows the correct time of day.

2. Let the Minute Timer Knob pop out. Turn clockwise until Minute Timer hand points to OFF. The clock setting will change if you

Using the Minute Timer

The Minute Timer does not start or stop the oven. It works like a kitchen timer. Set it in minutes up to an hour. You will hear a buzzer when the set time is up.

Do not push in the knob when setting the

Minute Timer.

1. Without pushing it in, turn the Minute Timer

Knob until the timer hand passes the setting

you want.

Using the oven control

The oven control is used to control the upper oven temperature for baking or roasting, or to broil in the lower broiler compartment. Baking and broiling cannot be done at the same time.

Baking/roasting (upper oven)

Position the rack(s) properly before turning on the oven. To change rack position, pull rack out to stop, raise front edge and lift out.

The rack(s) should be placed so the top of the food will be centered in the oven. Always leave at least 1 l/2 to 2 inches (4-5 cm) between the sides of the pan and the oven walls and other pans. For more information, see the Cooking Guide.

Push in and turn the Oven Control to the baking temperature you want. The oven burner will automatically light in 50-60 seconds.

Preheat the oven for 10 minutes. Put food in the oven.

NOTE: Do not place food directly on the oven bottom.

During baking, the oven burner will turn on and off to keep the oven temperature at the setting.

When baking is done, turn the Oven Control

Knob to OFF.
