Gas ovens have been thoroughly tested for safe and efficient operation. However, as with any appliance,
there are specific installation and safety precautions which must be followed to ensure safe and satisfac
tory operation.
AWARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury to persons, or
damage when using the oven, follow basic precautions, including
the following:
• FOR YOUR SAFETY •
DO NOT STORE OR USE GASOLINE OR OTHER FLAMMABLE
VAPORS AND LIQUIDS IN THE VICINITY OF THIS OR ANY
OTHER APPLIANCE. THE FUMES CAN CREATE A FIRE
HAZARD OR EXPLOSION.
• FOR YOUR SAFETY •
IF YOU SMELL GAS:
1. OPEN WINDOWS.
2. DON’T TOUCH ELECTRICAL SWITCHES.
3. EXTINGUISH ANY OPEN FLAMES.
4. IMMEDIATELY CALL YOUR GAS SUPPLIER.
IMPROPER INSTALLATION, ADJUSTMENT, ALTERATION,
SERVICE OR MAINTENANCE CAN CAUSE INJURY OR
PROPERTY DAMAGE. REFER TO THIS MANUAL. FOR
ASSISTANCE OR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION CONSULT A
QUALIFIED INSTALLER, SERVICE AGENCY, MANUFACTURER
(DEALER) OR THE GAS SUPPLIER.
-IMPORTANT-

FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
Page 4
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.
' 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.
' 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.
> 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 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.

Broiling tips
• Use the broiler pan and grid for broiling. They
are designed to drain excess liquid and fat
away from the cooking surface to help prevent
spatter, smoke or fire.
• If you broil small quantities, you may want to
use a small broiler pan. They are available in
the housewares section of many department
stores.
• For best broiling results, preheat at BROIL for 5
minutes. Do not preheat with broiler pan in
place.
• Rack position determines how infra-red rays
cook your food. The lower the position, the
more broiler grid area covered by the rays.
See “Rack position chart" below for more
information.
• To sear meat, place broiler pan at one of the
higher rack positions so that meat is very near
the flame.
• Small steaks, hamburger patties, etc., may be
broiled in the higher rack positions.
• To cook large steaks and other thick cuts of
meat well done, move them to a lower rack
position after searing.
• Refer to a broiling chart in a reliable cookbook
for correct broiling times.
• After broiling, remove the broiler pan from the
oven when you remove the food. Drippings will
bake on the pan if it is left in the heated oven.
AWARNING
Fire Hazard
• Place meat the correct distance from the
burner. Meat placed too close to the
burner may spatter, smoke, burn or catch
fire during broiling.
• To ensure adequate grease drainage, do
not use cookie sheets or similar pans for
broiling. Also, covering the broiier grid
with foil is not recommended. Poor
drainage of grease may resuit in fire, if
foii is used, cut siits in foii to correspond
with ail openings in broiier grid. Grease
can then drain away and cooi in pan.

If You Ne ed Ser vic e O r A ssi sta nce ...
We suggest you follow these steps:
1. Before calling for assistance...
Performance problems often result from little
things you can find and fix without tools of any
kind.
If nothing operates:
• Is the gas turned on?
• Is the power supply cord connected to a live
circuit with the proper voltage? (See Installation
Instructions.)
• Have you checked your home’s main fuses or
circuit breaker box?
• Have instructions in this book been followed?
• Is the Oven Control Knob turned to a tempera
ture setting or BROIL?
• Is the flow of combustion and/or ventilation air
to the unit obstructed? Do not obstruct air
flow to and around unit.
• Recheck suspected defect.
If oven burner fails to light:
• Is the oven connected to electrical power?
• Have you checked your home’s main fuses or
circuit breaker box?
If control knob will not turn:
• Did you push in before trying to turn?
If cooking results are not what you expected:
• Is the oven level?
• If needed, have you preheated the oven as the
recipe calls for?
• If broiling, have you completely closed the oven
and broiler compartment doors? The broiler
provides best cooking results with both doors
closed.
• Are you following a tested recipe from a reliable
source?
• Are you using pans recommended in the
Cooking Guide?
• If baking, have you allowed 1 1/2 to 2 inches
(4-5 cm) on all sides of the pans for air
circulation?
• Are the pans the size called for in the recipe?
See the Cooking Guide for more information on
cooking problems and how to solve them.
