•Gas fuels and their use in appiiances can
cause minor exposures to benzene,
formaldehyde, carbon monoxide, and
soot, primariiy from incompiete combus
tion. Significant exposure to these
substances couid cause cancer or
reproductive harm. Properly adjusted
burners with a biue, rather than a yellow,
flame will minimize incomplete combus
tion. Venting with a hood or an open
window will further minimize exposure.

During and after use, do not touch, or let
clothing or other flammable materials
contact interior surfaces of oven until

window, could also become hot enough
to cause burns.
• 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.

pot holders on hot surfaces could result
in burns from steam. Do not use a towel
or bulky cloth for a pot holder. It could

OVEN SAFETY
When using the oven
•Always position the oven rack(s) in
desired location while oven is cool.
• Use care when opening oven door. Let
hot air or steam escape before removing
or replacing food.
Grease
•Grease is flammable. Do not allow
grease to collect in vents. Wipe
spillovers 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 multipur
pose dry chemical or foam-type extin
guisher.
Care and cleaning
• Small amounts of formaldehyde and
carbon monoxide are given off in the
Self-Cleaning cycle from fiberglass
insulation and food decomposition.
Significant exposure to these sub
stances could cause cancer or reproduc
tive harm. Exposure can be minimized
by venting with a hood or open window
and wiping out excess food spills prior to
self-cleaning.
• Do not use oven cleaners. No commer
cial oven cleaner or oven liner protective
coating of any kind should be used in or
around any part of the oven.
• Before self-cleaning the oven, remove
broiler pan, broiler grid, oven racks, and
other utensils. Do not use your oven to
clean miscellaneous parts unless you are
instructed to do so in this Use and Care
Guide.
• Do not clean door heat seal. It is essen
tial 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.

Using Your Oven
To obtain the best cooking results possible, you must operate your oven properly. This
section gives you important information for efficient and safe use of your oven. This oven is
equipped with an electronic ignitor for the oven burner and a second ignitor for the broil
burner. The electronic ignitor automatically lights the oven burner each time it is used. This
oven cannot be used during prolonged power failure.
NOTE: This oven was tested for use with natural gas and is also design approved for use
with Liquified Petroleum Propane gas. Instructions for conversions are in the Installation
Instructions.
Positioning racks and
For baking/roasting with one rack, place
the rack so the top of the food will be
centered in the oven.
Rack placement for specific foods:
FOOD
Frozen pies, large
roasts, turkeys, angel
food cakes
Bundt cakes, most
quick breads, yeast
breads, casseroles,
meats
Cookies, biscuits,
muffins, cakes,
nonfrozen pies
When baking on two racks, arrange racks
on first and third rack guides from bottom.
To change rack position, pull rack out to
the stop, raise the front edge, and slide out.
RACK POSITION

guide from bottom
pans
For proper roasting, follow these
guidelines:
• The rack must be level.
• Use adequate amount of liquid (meat
juices or water) so food does not get
overdone.
^WARNING
Personal Injury Hazard
• Always position oven rack(s) in
desired location before turning oven
on. Be sure the rack(s) is level.
• If rack(s) must be moved while oven
is hot, use pot holders or oven mitts
to protect hands.
• Do not place items on the open oven
door.
Failure to follow the above precautions
could result in personal injury.
NOTE: For recommended rack placement
when broiling, see “Broiling rack position
chart” on page 18.
For best air circulation
Hot air must circulate around the pans in the
oven for even heat to reach all parts of the
oven. This results in better baking.
• Place the pans so that one is not directly
over the other.
• For best results, allow 1 '/2-2 inches
(4-5 cm) of space around each pan and
between pans and oven walls. There must
be a minimum space of 1 inch (2.5 cm).
• Use only one cookie sheet in the oven at
one time.
Use the following as a guide to determine
where to place the pans:
One pan
Place in the center of the oven rack.
Two pans
Place in opposite corners of the oven rack.
Three or four pans
Place in opposite corners on each oven
rack. Stagger pans so no pan is directly over
another.
