The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic  
Enforcement Act requires the Governor of  
California to publish a list of substances known  
to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other  
reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn  
customers of potential exposure to such substances.  
WARNING: These adjustments must be made  
by a qualified service technician in accordance  
with the manufacturer’s instructions and all codes  
and requirements of the authority having  
jurisdiction. Failure to follow these instructions  
could result in serious injury or property damage.  
The qualified agency performing this work  
assumes responsibility for the conversion.  
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 or LP fuels. Properly adjusted burners,  
indicated by a bluish rather than a yellow flame,  
will minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure  
to these substances can be minimized further by  
venting with an open window or using a  
ventilation fan or hood.  
Be sure the oven is securely installed in a  
cabinet that is firmly attached to the house  
structure. Never allow anyone to climb, sit, stand  
or hang on the oven door.

USING YOUR OVEN  
Before Using Your Oven  
1. Look at the controls. Be sure you understand how to  
set them properly. Read over the directions for the  
Oven Controls so you understand how to use them.  
NOTE:  
A fan may automatically turn on and off to cool  
internal parts. This is normal and the fan may  
continue to run even after the oven is turned off.

times you turn the oven on. This is normal in a new  
oven and will disappear in a short time. To speed the  
process, set a self-clean cycle for a minimum of hours.  
See the Operating the Self-Cleaning Oven section.  
3. Read over the information and tips that follow.  
4. Keep this guide handy so you can refer to it, especially  
during the first weeks of using your new oven.  
Automatic Ignition  
Power Outage  
The oven burner will not light in the event of an  
electrical power outage. Do not attempt to light  
manually with a match.  
The oven burner is lighted by electric ignition.  
To light the burner, press the pad for the desired  
function and press the INCREASE or DECREASE  
pad until the desired temperature is displayed. The  
burner should ignite within 60 seconds.  
After the oven reaches the selected temperature, the  
oven burner cycles off completely, then on with a full  
flame to keep the oven temperature controlled.  
Oven Light  
The oven light comes on automatically when the oven door is opened. Use the  
switch on the control panel to turn the light on and off when the door is closed.  
Oven Vent  
The vent is needed for proper air flow in the oven and  
good baking results. Do not block this vent. Doing so  
may cause oven failure or fire.  
When the oven is on, heated air moves through a vent  
behind the grille. See the Features of Your Oven  
section.  
NOTE: A fan may automatically turn on and off  
to cool internal parts. This is normal and the fan may  
continue to run even after the oven is turned off.  
The vent area could get hot during oven use.  
Oven Shelves  
The shelves are designed with stop-locks so when  
placed correctly on the shelf supports, they will  
stop before coming completely out of the oven and  
will not tilt when you are removing food from them  
or placing food on them.  
To remove a shelf from  
the oven, pull it toward you,  
tilt the front end upward  
and pull the shelf out.

To replace, place the shelf  
When placing cookware on shelf, pull the shelf out  
to the “stop” position. Place the cookware on the

Preheating  
Preheating is necessary for good results when baking  
cakes, cookies, pastry and breads. For most casseroles  
and roasts, preheating is not necessary. For ovens  
without a preheat indicator light or tone, preheat 10  
minutes. After the oven is preheated, place the food  
in the oven as quickly as possible to prevent heat  
from escaping.  
Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it. Preheat  
means bringing the oven up to the specified  
temperature before putting the food in the oven.  
To preheat, set the oven at the correct  
selecting a higher temperature does not shorten  
preheat time.  
Pan Placement  
Baking Pans  
For even cooking and proper browning, there must be  
enough room for air circulation in the oven. Baking  
results will be better if baking pans are centered as  
much as possible rather than being placed to the front  
or to the back of the oven.  
Use the proper baking pan. The type of finish on the  
pan determines the amount of browning that will occur,  
Dark, rough or  
pans absorb heat resulting in a  
browner, crisper crust. Use this type for pies.  
Shiny, bright and smooth pans reflect heat, resulting  
in a lighter, more delicate browning. Cakes and  
cookies require this type of pan.  
Pans should not touch each other or the walls of the  
oven. Allow 1- to  
space between pans as well  
as from the back of the oven, the door and the sides.  
If you use two shelves, stagger the pans so one is not  
directly above the other.  
Glass baking dishes also absorb heat. When baking  
in glass baking dishes, the temperature may need to  
be reduced by

When using prepared baking mixes, follow package recipe or instructions  
for the best baking results.  
Cookies  
When  
cookies,  
cookie sheets (without

in jelly roll pan (short sides all around) may have  
darker edges and pale or light browning may occur.  
Do not use a cookie sheet so large that it touches the

the oven. Never entirely cover a  
shelf’ with a large cookie sheet.  
For best results, use only one cookie sheet in the oven  
at a time.  
Pies  
Cakes  
When baking cakes, warped or bent pans will cause  
uneven baking results and poorly shaped products.

recommends will usually be crisper, thinner and drier  
than it should be. baked in a pan smaller than  
recommended, it may be undercooked and batter may  
overflow. Check the recipe make sure the pan size  
used is the one recommended.  
For best results, bake pies in dark, rough or dull pans  
to produce a browner, crisper crust. Frozen pies in f-oil  
pans should be placed on an  
cookie sheet  
since the shiny foil pan reflects heat away  
the pie crust; the cookie sheet helps retain it.

BROILING  
Turn the food only once during broiling. Time the  
foods for the first side according to the Broiling Guide.  
Broiling is cooking food by direct heat from above  
the food. Most fish and tender cuts of meat can be  
broiled. Follow these directions to keep spattering  
and smoking to a minimum.  
Turn the food, then use the times given for the second  
side as a guide to the  
doneness.  
6. Press the INCREASE pad for HI Broil or press the  
DECREASE pad for LO Broil. To change from HI  
Broil to LO Broil, press the DECREASE pad once.  
The oven door should be closed during broiling.

about  
inch thick.  
2. Place the meat on the broiler rack in the broiler pan.  
Always use the rack so the fat drips into the broiler  
pan; otherwise the juices may become hot enough  
to catch on fire.  
To test if your broiler is working properly: Cover the  
entire broiler pan rack with bread. Place the broiler pan  
on the third shelf from the bottom. Broil until the bread  
is golden brown. If you have browning on both sides  
of the pan, your broiler is working properly. If toast  
browns only on one side of the pan, call for service.  
3. Position a shelf on the recommended shelf position  
suggested in the Broiling Guide.  
4. Close the oven door.  
5. press the BROIL pad.  
NOTE: A fan may automatically turn on and off  
to cool internal parts. This is normal and the fan may  
continue to run even after the oven is turned off.  
BROIL  
Use of Aluminum Foil  
You can use aluminum foil to line your broiler pan and broiler rack.  
However, you must mold the foil tightly to the rack and cut slits in  
it just like the rack.  
Without the slits, the foil will prevent fat and meat juices from draining  
to the broiler pan. The juices could become hot enough to catch on fire.  
\’  
If you  
not cut the slits, you are frying, not broiling.  
Questions and Answers  
Q. When broiling, is it necessary to always  
use a rack in the pan?  
Q. Are there blue flames on both sides of the  
broil burner?  
A. Yes. Using the rack suspends the meat over the  
pan. As the meat cooks, the juices fall into the pan,  
keeping meat drier. Juices are protected by the  
rack and stay cooler, thus preventing excessive  
spatter and smoking.  
A. Yes, but the bright orange glow of the burner  
ignite may make the flame difficult to see. If you  
cannot see the  
on both sides and feel your  
broil burner is not functioning properly, try the  
“toast test”.  
Q. Do I need to grease my broiler rack to prevent  
meat from sticking?  
Q. Should I salt the meat before broiling?  
A. No. Salt draws out the juices and allows them to  
Always salt after cooking. Turn the  
A. No. The broiler rack is designed to reflect broiler  
heat, thus keeping the surface cool enough to  
prevent the meat from sticking to the surface.  
However, spraying the broiler rack lightly with a  
vegetable cooking spray before cooking will make  
clean-up easier.

CARE AND CLEANING  
(continued)  
Lift-Off Oven Door  
TO CLEAN THE DOOR:  
The oven door is removable,  
but it is heavy. You may need  
help removing and replacing the  
door. Do not lift the door by the  
handle. This can cause the glass  
to break or can cause damage to  
the door.  
Inside of the door:  
Because the area inside the gasket is cleaned during  
the self clean cycle, you do not need to clean this  
by hand. Any soap left on the liner causes additional  
stains when the oven is heated.  
The area outside the gasket can be cleaned with  
a scouring pad.  
To remove the door, open it a  
few inches to the special stop  
position that will hold the door  
open. Grasp firmly on each side  
Do not rub or clean the door gasket—the  
fiberglass material of the gasket has an extremely  
low resistance to abrasion. An intact and

efficient oven operation and good baking results.  
If you notice the gasket becoming worn, frayed or  
damaged in any way or it has become displaced  
on the door, you should have it replaced.  
NOTE:  
Be  
not to place hands between the hinge and  
the oven door frame as the hinge could snap back  
and pinch fingers.  
NOTE: The gasket is designed with a gap at  
the bottom to allow for proper air circulation.  
While working in the oven area, cover the hinges  
with towels or empty paper towel rolls to prevent  
pinched fingers and chipping the porcelain enamel  
on the frame.

To replace the door, make sure the hinges are in the  
special stop position. Position the slots in the bottom  
of the door squarely over the hinges. Then lower the  
door slowly and evenly over both hinges at the same  
time. If the hinges snap back against the oven frame,  
them back out.

Outside of the door:  
Use soap and water to thoroughly clean the top,  
sides and front of the oven door. Rinse well.  
You may also use a glass cleaner to clean the  
glass on the outside of the door.  
Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces  
and basting materials containing acids may cause  
discoloration and should be wiped up immediately.  
When the surface is cool, clean and rinse.  
Do not use oven cleaners, cleansing powders or  
harsh abrasives on the outside of the door.

CARE AND CLEANING  
(continued)  
Removable Oven Bottom  
The oven bottom has a porcelain enamel finish.  
To make cleaning easier, protect the oven bottom  
from excessive spillovers. This is particularly  
important when baking a fruit pie or other foods with  
high acid content. Hot fruit fillings or foods that are  
acidic (such as milk, tomatoes or sauerkraut, and  
sauces with vinegar or lemon juice) may cause pitting  
and damage to the porcelain enamel surface.  
The oven bottom can be removed to clean large  
spills, and to enable you to reach the oven burner.  
Oven bottom must be replaced before using the  
self-clean cycle.  
To protect the oven bottom surface, place a piece  
of aluminum foil slightly larger than the baking dish  
or a small cookie sheet on a lower shelf or under the  
baking dish to catch any spillovers. It should not  
completely cover the shelf as this would cause uneven  
heat in the oven. Aluminum foil should not be placed  
on the oven bottom.

allow the oven to cool first. You can clean the oven  
bottom with soap and water, a mild abrasive cleanser  
or soap-filled abrasive pads. Rinse well to remove any  
soap before self-cleaning.

MINOR ADJUSTMENTS YOU CAN MAKE  
Adjusting Orifice Hoods  
Check the inner cones of the flames. The inner  
cone of the flames should be about 1/2” long. If the  
flames are not right, use a l/2° open-end wrench or  
adjustable joint pliers to adjust the orifice hood.  
WARNING: If you attempt to measure the  
inner cone of the flame, please use caution.  
Burns could result.  
To shorten the cones, tighten the orifice hood  
by turning in the “LP” direction. To lengthen the  
cones, loosen the orifice hood by turning in the  
“Nat.” direction.
