OMPORTANT SAFETY NSTRUCTBONS
o Installation of this range must conform with local
codes, or in the absence of local codes, with
the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSi Z223.1, latest
edition.
This range has been design-certified by the American
Gas Association according to ANSI Z21°1, latest edi-
tion. As with any appliance using gas and generating
heat, there are certain safety precautions you should
follow. You will find these precautions at the beginning
of the Use and Care section of this book. Read them
carefully,
o Have your range installed by a qualified installer or
service technician_
o Your range must be electrically grounded in accor-
dance with local codes or, in the absence of local
codes, in accordance with the National Electrical
Code (ANSt!NFPA 70, latest edition). See Electrical
Connections in this section,
o Before installing your range on linoleum or any other
synthetic floor covering, make sure the floor covering
can withstand 180°F. without shrinking, warping or
discoloring. Do not install the range over carpeting
unless a sheet of 1/4" thick plywood or similar insu_
lator is placed between the range and carpeting
° Make sure the wall coverings around the range can
withstand heat generated by the range up to 200°E
oAvoid placing cabinets above the range. To reduce
the hazard caused by reaching over the open flames
of operating burners, instalt a ventilation hood over
the range that projects forward at least 5" beyond
the front of the cabinets.
oThe ventilating hood must be constructed of sheet
metal not less than 00122" thick_ Install above the
cooking top with a clearance of not less than 1/4"
between the hood and the underside of the com-
bustible material or metal cabinet. The hood must be
at least as wide as the appliance and centered over
the appliance. Clearance beb_veen the cooking sur-
face and the ventilation hood surface iVlUST NEVER
BE LESS THAN 24 INCHES.
o if cabinets are placed above the range, allow a mini-
mum clearance of 30" between the cooking surface
and the bottom of unprotected cabinets..
o If a 30" clearance between cooking surface and
overhead combustible material or metal cabinets
cannot be maintained, protect the underside of the
cabinets above the cooking top with not less than
1/4" insulating millboard covered with sheet metal
not less than Q0122" thick_
oClearance between the cooking surface and protect-
ed cabinets MUST NEVER BE LESS THAN 24
INCHES. The vertical distance from the plane of
the cooking surface to the bottom of adjacent over-
head cabinets extending closer than 1" to the plane
of the range sides must not be less than 18". (See
Dimensions and Clearances illustration in this sec-
tion.)
o Caution: Items of interest to children should not be
stored in cabinets above a range or on the back-
splash of a range--children climbing on the range to
reach items could be seriously injured.
WARNING
All ranges can tip and injury could
result. To prevent accidental tipping of
the range, attach an approved Anti-
Tip device to the wall. (See Installing
the Anti-Tip Device in this section..) To
check if the device is installed and
engaged properly, carefully tip the
range forward. The Anti-Tip device
should engage and prevent the range
from tipping over,
If you pull the range out from the wall for any reason,
make sure the AntFTip device is engaged when you
push the range back against the wallo
o For your safety, never use your range for warming
or heating the room. Your oven and range top are
not designed to heat your kitchen. Top burners
should not be operated without cookware on the
grate° Such abuse could result in fire and damage to
your range and will void your warranty..
o Do not store or use combustible materials, gasoline
or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity
of this or any other applianceo Explosions or fires
could result.
. Do not use oven for a storage area, Items stored in
the oven can ignite.
o Do not let cooking grease or other flammable mate-
rials accumulate in or near the range.

BnstaHationInstructions
GENERAL
oSee Dimensions and Clearances in this section for
all rough-in and spacing dimension& These dimen-
sions must be met for safe use of your range. The
location of the electrical outlet and pipe opening (see
Gas Pipe and Electric Outlet Locations) may be
adjusted to meet specific requirements..
oThe range may be placed with 0" clearance (flush)
at the back wall and side walls of the range.,
LOCATION
Do not locate the range where it may be subject to
strong draft& Any openings in the floor or wall behind
the range should be sealed. Make sure the openings
around the base of the range that supply fresh air for
combustion and ventilation are not obstructed by car-
peting or woodwork..
PROTECT YOUR FLOOR
",(our range, like many other household items, is heavy
and can settle into soft floor coverings such as cush-
ioned vinyl or carpeting° Use care when moving the
range on this type of flooring. It is recommended that
the following simple and inexpensive instructions be
followed to protect your floor..
The range should be installed on a sheet of plywood
(or similar material). When the floor covering ends at
the front of the range, the area that the range will rest
on should be built up with plywood to the same level
or higher than the floor covering. This will allow the
range to be moved for cleaning or servicing..
MODEL AND SERIAL NUMBER LOCATION
Depending on your range, you'll find the model and
serial numbers on a label on the front frame of the
range, behind the storage drawer, broiler drawer or
kick panel (depending on model).
TOOLS YOU WiLL NEED
Phillips and flat-blade screwdrivers
o Pencil and ruler
° Two pipe wrenches (one for backup)
o 1%" open-end or adjustable wrench
o Nut drivers or wrenches: 3/16" and t/4"
ADDITIONAL MATERIALS YOU MAY NEED
Q
O
Gas line shut-off valve
Pipe joint sealant or UL-approved pipe thread tape
with Teflon* that resists action of natural and LP
gases
° Flexible metal appliance connector (I/2" ].D.)_ A 5-
foot length is recommended for ease of installation
but other lengths are acceptable. Never use an old
connector when installing a new ranger

Provide Adequate Gas Supply
Your range is designed to operate at a pressure of
4" of water column on natural gas or, if designed for
LP gas (propane or butane), 10" of water column.
Make sure you are supplying your range with the type
of gas for which it is designed This range is convert-
ible for use on natural or propane gas, if you decide to
use this range on a different type of gas, conversion
adjustments must be made by a service technician or
other qualified person before attempting to operate
the range on that gas.
For proper operation, the pressure of natural gas sup-
plied to the regulator must be between 4" and 13" of
water column. For LP gas, the pressure supplied must
be between 10" and 13" of water column. When
checking for proper operation of the regulator, the inlet
pressure must be at least 1" greater than the operat-
ing (manifold) pressure as given above The pressure
regulator located at the inlet of the range manifold
must remain in the supply line regardless of whether
natural or LP gas is being used.. A flexible metal appli-
ance connector used to connect the range to the gas
supply line should have an 1..D.of 1/2" and be 5 feet in
length for ease of instatlation.
2
Connect the Range to Gas
Shut off the main gas supply valve before disconnect-
ing the old range and leave it off until new hook-up
has been completed. Don't forget to relight the
pilot on other gas appliances when you turn the gas
back on.
Because hard piping restricts movement of the range,
the use of an AG.A.-certified flexible metal appliance
connector is recommended unless local codes require
a hard-piped connection. Never use an old connector
when installing a new range.. If the hard piping method
is used, you must carefully align the pipe; the range
cannot be moved after the connection is made.
To prevent gas leaks, put pipe joint compound on, or
wrap pipe thread tape with Teflon* around, all male
(external) pipe threads.

When using test pressures greater than 1/2 psig to
pressure test the gas supply system of the residence,
disconnect the range and individual shut-off valve
from the gas supply piping. When using test pres-
sures of i/2 psig or less to test the gas supply sys-
tem, simply isolate the range from the gas supply
system by closing the individual shut-off valve.
Step 3
Electrical Connections (for Models
Equipped with Electric ignition)
Electrical Requirements
120-volt, 60 Hertz, properly grounded branch circuit
protected by a 15-amp or 20-amp circuit breaker or
time delay fuse,,
Extension Cord Cautions
Because of potential safety hazards associated with
certain conditions, we strongly recommend against
the use of an extension cord° However, if you still elect
to use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary
that it be a ULqisted, 3-wire grounding4ype appliance
extension cord and that the current carrying rating of
the cord in amperes be equivalent to, or greater than,
the branch circuit rating,
Grounding--IMPORTANT (Please read carefully)
FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE MUST
BE PROPERLY GROUNDED,
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a
three-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a stan-
dard three-prong grounding wall receptacle to mini-
mize the possibility of
electric shock hazard
from this appliance
The customer should
have the wall receptacle
and circuit checked by a
qualified electrician to
make sure the recepta-
cle is properly grounded.
Where a standard two-
PREFERRED
METHOD =
prong wall receptacle is encountered, it is the person-
al responsibility and obligation of the customer to have
it replaced with a properly grounded three-prong wall
receptacle_
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT OR
REMOVE THE THIRD (GROUND) PRONG FROM
THE POWER CORD.

Normal NnstaHation Steps (continued>
A: Usage Situations where Appliance Power Cord
will be Disconnected Infrequently.
An adapter may be used only on a 15-amp circuiL Do
not use an adapter on a 20-amp circuit. Where,.J_:acat
codes permit, a TEMPORARY CONNECTION may
be made to a properly grounded two-prong wall
receptacle by the use of a UL-listed adapter, available
at most hardware stores. The larger slot in the adapter
must be aligned with the larger slot in the wall recep.o
tacle to provide proper polarity in the connection of the
power cor&

BEFORE USE
CAUTION: Attaching the adapter ground terminal
to the wall receptacle cover screw does not ground
the appliance unless the cover screw is metal, and
not insulated, and the wall receptacle is grounded
through the house wiring. The customer should
have the circuit checked by a qualified electrician
to make sure the receptacle is properly grounded.
When disconnecting the power cord from the adapter,
always hold the adapter with one hand. If this is not
done, the adapter ground terminal is very likely to
break with repeated use. Should this happen, DO
NOT USE the appliance until a proper ground has
again been established.
B: Usage Situations where Appliance Power Cord
will be Disconnected Frequently.
Do not use an adapter plug in these situations
because disconnecting of the power cord places
undue strain on the adapter and leads to eventual fail-
ure of the adapter ground terminal. The customer
should have the two-prong wall receptacle replaced
with a three-prong (grounding) receptacle by a quali-
fied electrician before using the appliance°
The installation of appliances designed for mobile
home installation must conform with the Manufactured
Home Construction and Safety Standard, Title 24
CFR, Part 3280 (formerly the Federal Standard for
Mobile Home Construction and Safety, Title 24, HUD,
Part 280) or, when such standard is not applicable,
the Standard for Manufactured Home Installations, lat-
est edition (Manufactured Home Sites, Communities
and Set-Ups), ANSI A225ol, latest edition, or with
local codes°

perature indicated by the OVEN CONTROL knob
Step G
Check ignition of Surface Burners
Surface Burner mgnition
Operation of all cooktop and oven burners should be
checked after the pilots have been lighted (on some
models) and range and gas supply lines have been
carefully checked for leaks.
Standing Piaot Models
Select a top burner knob and simultaneously push in
and turn to HI position° The burner should light within
a few seconds. Try each burner in succession until all
burners have been checked°
Electric Ignition ModeBs
Select a top burner knob and simultaneously push in
and turn to LITE position. You will hear a snapping
sound indicating proper operation of the spark mod-
ule_ Once the air has been purged from the supply
lines, burners should light within 4 seconds. After
burner lights, rotate knob out of the LITE position° Try
each burner in succession until all burners have been
checked°
Quality of Flames
The combustion quality of burner flames needs to be
determined visually,
(A) Yellow flames--
Call for service
(B) Yellow tips on
outer cones--
Normal for LP gas
(C) Soft blue flames--
Normal for natural gas
If burner flames look like (A), call for service. Normal
burner flames should look like (B) or (C), depending
on the type of gas you use.
oWith LP gas, some yellow tipping on outer cones is
normal.
Step 3'
Check ignition of Oven Burner
Your oven is designed to operate quietly and automati-
cally, To operate the oven, turn the OVEN CONTROL
knob to a setting above 200°E After 30-90 seconds, the
oven burner will ignite and burn until the set tempera-
ture is reached, The oven burner will continue to cycle
on and off as necessary to maintain the oven at the
temperature indicated by the OVEN CONTROL knob_
Electric ignition models require electrical power to
operate. The oven cannot be lit during a power
outage. Gas will not flow unless the glow bar is hoL
If the oven is in use when a power outage occurs, the
oven burner will shut off and cannot be re-lit until
power is restored_

Adjusting the Air Adjustment Shutter if
Necessary
To determine if the oven burner flames are burning prop-
erly, first remove the oven bottom and the burner baffle.
To remove the oven bottom:
1. Remove knurled screws holding down rear of oven
bottom
2. Grasp oven bottom at finger slots on each side.
3. Lift rear of oven bottom enough to clear the lip of
range frame, then pull out.
Remove Screw
Burner Baffle
With the baffle removed, properly adjusted flames
should have approximately 1" blue cones and, if range
is supplied with natural gas, should burn with no yellow
tipping.. (With most LP gas, small yellow tips at the end
of outer cones are normal,) With the baffle in place, the
flames should burn steady and should not extend past
the edges of the burner baffle. Flames should not lift off
burner ports. If lifting is observed, gradually reduce air
shutter opening until flames are stabilized,
The shutter for the oven burner is near the back wall
of the oven and behind the broiler drawer_ To remove
the broiler drawer:
1. Putt the drawer out until it stops, then push it back
in about one inch_
2. Grasp handle, lift and pull broiler drawer out.
on some models
To remove the burner baffle (on some models):
1. Use a nut driver to remove the 1/4" hex-head
screw shown in the illustration above, Do not
remove any other screws.
2. Pull baffle straight out until it is free from the slot
that holds it at rear of oven.
Remove the metal shield at the rear of the drawer
cavity. The air adjustment shutter is behind this shield.
To adjust the flow of air to the burner, loosen the
Phillips-head screw and rotate the shutter to allow
more or less air into the burner tube

Adjust The Surface Burner Pilots (For
Models Equipped With Standing Pilots)
1. Raise the cooktop.
2. Locate the pilot
adjustment screw.. It can
be accessed through the
small hole near the center of
the manifold panel°
3. To adjust, use a blade-type screwdriver with a shaft
diameter of less than 3/16"_ Turn pilot adjustment
screw until pilot is 5/16" high, Do not reduce the
flame to less than 5/16" or pilot outage may occur.
A pilot flame burning higher than recommended
may generate soot (carbon black) on the bottom of
your cooktop.

iMPORTANT SAFETY NOTnCE o Be sure all packing materials are removed
o The California Safe Drinking Water and
Toxic :Enforcement Act requires the
Governor of California to publish a list of sub-
stances 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.
Gas appliances 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 yel-
low flame, will minimize incomplete combus-
tion. Exposure to these substances can be
minimized further by venting with an open win-
dow or using a ventilation fan or hood.
o Fluorescent light bulbs and safety valves
on standing pilot ranges contain mercury.
If your model has these features, they must be
recycled according to local, state and federal
codes.
When You Get Your Range
o Have the installer show you
the location of the range

from the range before operating it to prevent fire
or smoke damage, should the packing material
ignite.
o Locate range out of kitchen traffic path and
out of drafty locations to prevent pilot outage
(on models with standing pilots) and poor air
circulation.
o Be sure your range is correctly adjusted by a
qualified serv=ce techmcian or installer for the
type of gas (natural or LP), that is to be used.
Your range can be converted for use with either
type of gas. See Installation Instructions.
WARNING: These adjustments must be made
by a qualified service technician in accor-
dance with the manufacturer's instructions
and all codes and requirements of the authori-
ty having jurisdiction. Failure to follow these
instructions could result in serious injury or
property damage. The qualified agency per-
forming this work assumes responsibdity for
the conversion.
o After prolonged use of a range, high floor tem-

To minimize the possibility of burns, ignitionof
flammable materials and spillage, turn cookware
handles toward the side or back of the range with-
out letting them extend over adjacent burners.
Always turn surface burner to OFF before
removing cookware.
Carefully watch foods being fried at a high
flame setting.
Never block the vents (air openings) of the
range. They provide the air inlet and outlet that
are necessary for the range to operate properly
with correct combustion. Air openings are located
in the following places:
--Oven vent at the rear of the cooktop.
--Air intake under the broiler drawer.
--Air vent at the top of the oven door.
o Do not use a wok on models with sealed burn-
ers if the wok has a round metal ring that is
placed over the burner grate to support the
wok, This ring acts as a heat trap, which may
damage the burner grate and burner head. Also, it
may cause the burner to work improperly. This
may cause a carbon monoxide level above that
allowed by current standards, resulting in a health
hazard.
o Foods for frying should be as dry as possible.
Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh foods
can cause hot fat to bubble up and over sides of
pan.
Use least possible amount of fat for effective
shaRIowor deep-fat frying. Filling the pan too full
of fat can cause spillovers when food is added.

ble or easily tipped. Select cookware having flat
bottoms large enough to properly contain food
and avoid boilovers and spilfovers and large
enough to cover burner grates. This will both save
cleaning time and prevent hazardous accumula-
tions of food, since heavy spattering or spillovers
left on the range can ignite. Use pans with han-
dles that can be easily grasped and will remain
coolo
When using glass cookware, make sure it is
designed for top-of-range cooking.
Keep all plastics away
from top burners.
Do not leave plastic
items on the cook-
top--they may melt if
left too close to the venL
Do not leave any items on the cooktop. The
hot air from the vent may ignite flammable items
and will increase pressure in closed containers,
which may cause them to burst.
o To avoid the possibility of a burn, always be
certain that the controls for all burners are at
the OFF position and all grates are cool before
attempting to remove them.
° When flaming foods are under the hood, turn
the fan off. The fan, if operating, may spread
the flames.
If range is located near a window, do not hang
long curtains that could blow over the top burners
and create a fire hazard.
When a pilot goes out (on models with stand-
ing pilots), you will detect a faint odor of gas as
your signal to relight the pilot. When relighting the
pilot, make sure the burner controls are in the
OFF position, and follow instructions in the
Installation Instructions to relight.
If you smell gas, and you have already made
sure the pilots are lit (on models with standing
pilots), turn off the gas to the range and call a
qualified service technician. Never use an open
flame to locate a leak.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NSTRUCTJON$ (continued)
Baking, Broiging and Roasting Cleaning Your Range
oDo not use oven for a storage area. items o Clean only parts listed in this Use and Care
stored in the oven can ignite. Guide.
o Stand away from the range when opening the
door of a hot oven, The hot air and steam that
escape can cause burns to hands, face and
eyes:
oKeep oven free from grease buildup.
o Keep range clean and free of accumulations
of grease or spillovers, which may ignite.
o Be careful when you clean the cooktop
because the area over the pilot will be hot (for
standing pilot models).
Place oven shelves in desired position while
oven is cool.
Pulling out shelf to the shelf-stop is a
convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also a
precaution against burns from touching hot
surfaces of the door or oven walls. The lowest
position "R" is not designed to slide.
Don't heat unopened food containers.
Pressure could build up and the container
could burst, causing an injury.
o For continuous clean models, do not use oven
cleaners on any of the continuous cleaning
surfaces. Continuous cleaning surfaces can be
identified by their rough surface finish.
SAVE THESE
nNSTRUCTBONS
o Don't use aluminum foil anywhere in the oven
except as described in this book. Misuse could
result in a fire hazard or damage to the ranger
o When using cooking or roasting bags in the
oven, follow the manufacturer's directions_
o Use onRyglass cookware that is recommend-
ed for use in gas ovens.
Always remove broiler pan from the broiler
compartment as soon as you finish broiling.
Grease left in the pan can catch on fire if oven is
used without removing the grease from the broiler
pan.
When broiling, if meat is too close to the
flame, the fat may ignite. Trim excess fat to pre-
vent excessive flare-ups.
Make sure broiter pan is in place correctly to
reduce the possibility of grease fires.
o If you should have a grease fire in the broiler
pan, turn off the OVEN CONTROL and keep
broiler compartment door closed to contain fire
until it burns out.

Lighting Instructions for
Standing Pilot Models
The surface burners on these ranges have standing
pilots that must be lit initially,. To light them:
1. Be sure surface burner control knobs are in the
OFF position_
2. Remove the grates and lift the cooktop up (see the
Lift-Up Cooktop section)..
Surface Burner Controls
Knobs that turn the surface burners on and off are
marked as to which burners they control,. The two
knobs on the left control the left front and left rear
burners. The two knobs on the right control the right
front and right rear burners.
On ranges with sealed burners:
o The smaller burner (right rear position) will give
the best simmer results.
o The right front burner is higher powered than the
others and wilt bring liquids to a boil quicker
(natural gas installations only).
3. Locate the two pilot ports and light each of them
with a match,.
NOTE: if the pilot is too high or tow, you can adjust iL
See the "Adjust the Surface Burner Pilots tf
Necessary" section of the Installation Instructions,.
4. Lower the cooktop. Your surface burners are now
ready for use,.
5. Observe lighted burners, Compare the flames to
pictures in the Problem Solver. If any flame is
unsatisfactory, call for sen/ice._
Lighting instructions for
Electric Ignition Models
Your surface burners are lighted by electric ignition,
eliminating the need for standing pilot lights with con-
stantly burning flames.
In case of a power failure, you can light the surface
burners on your range with a match. Hold a lighted
match to the burner, then turn the knob to the LITE
position. Use extreme caution when lighting burn-
ers this way.
Surface burners in use when an electrical power fail-
ure occurs will continue to operate normally,
The electrode of the spark igniter is exposed..
When one burner is turned to LITE, all the burners
spark° Do not attempt to disassemble or clean
around any burner while another burner is ono An
electric shock may result, which could cause you
to knock over hot cookware.
Before Lighting a Burner
o If drip pans are supplied with your range, they should
be used at all times.
° Make sure all grates on the range are in place before
using a burner.
To Light a Surface Burner
Electric ignition Models
Push the control knob in and
turn it to LITE. You will hear a little
"clicking" noise--the sound of the
electric spark igniting the burner..
After the burner ignites, turn the
knob to adjust the flame size,
Standing Pilot Model:
Push control knob in and turn it to H1 position. The
burner should light within a few seconds.
After the burner ignites, turn the knob to adjust the
flame size_
Flame will be almost horizontal and will lift slightly
away from the burner when the burner is first
turned on, A blowing sound may be heard the first
few seconds. This normal sound is due to improved
injection of gas and air into the burner. Put a pan on
the burner before lighting it, or adjust the flame to
match pan size as soon as it lights, and the blowing
sound will stop.
22
background
After Lighting a Burner
o Check to be sure the burner you turned on is the one
you want to user
o Do not operate a burner for an extended period of
time without cookware on the grate° The finish on the
grate may chip without cookware to absorb the heat.
o Be sure the burners and grates are cool before you
place your hand, a pot holder, cleaning cloths or
other materials on them.
How to Select Flame Size
Watch the flame, not the knob, as you reduce heat.
The flame size on a gas burner should match the
cookware you are using. ,_
FOR SAFE HANDLING OF ....::::_..............
COOKWARE NEVER LET
THE FLAME EXTEND LJP
THE SIDES OF THE COOK-
WARE. Any flame larger than the bottom of the cook-
ware is wasted and only serves to heat the handle.
Top-of-Range Cookware
Aluminum: Medium-weight cookware is recommend-
ed because it heats quickly and evenly° Most foods
brown evenly in an aluminum skillet° Use saucepans
with tight-fitting lids when cooking with minimum
amounts of water.
Cast-Iron: If heated slowly, most skillets will give sat-
isfactory results.
Enamelware: Under some conditions, the enamel of
some cookware may melt. Follow cookware manufac-
turer's recommendations for cooking methods.
Glass: There are two types of glass cookware--those
for oven use only and those for top-of-range cooking
(saucepans, coffee and teapots). Glass conducts heat
very slowly°
Heatproof Glass Ceramic: Can be used for either
surface or oven cooking., tt conducts heat very slowly
and cools very slowly_ Check cookware manufactur-
er's directions to be sure it can be used on gas range&
Stainless Steel: This metal alone has poor heating
properties and is usually combined with copper, alu-
minum or other metals for improved heat distribution,.
Combination metal skillets usually work satisfactorily if
they are used with medium heat as the manufacturer
recommends°
Wok Cooking
(on models with sealed burners)
We recommend that you use
only a flat-bottomed wok..
They are available at your
local retail store.
Do not use woks that have .....
support ring&. Use of these
types of woks, with or without
the ring in place, can be
dangerous. Placing the ring
over the burner grate may ,_i,:__.................................._ii'....
cause the burner to work im-
properly resulting in carbon monoxide levels above
allowable current standards. This could be dangerous
to your health. Do not try to use such woks without the
ring. You could be seriously burned if the wok tipped
over_
Use of Stove Top Grills
(on models with sealed burners)
Do not use stove top grills on your sealed gas burn-
ers. If you use the stove top grill on the sealed gas
burner it will cause incomplete combustion and can
result in exposure to carbon
monoxide levels above
allowable current standard&
This can be hazardous to
your health°

Some models have standing oven pilots that must be
lit initially°
To light the oven pilot:
1. Be sure OVEN CONTROL knob is in the OFF posi-
tion.
2. Open the broiler drawer and remove the broiler pan
and rack_ This will make it easier for you to reach
inside the broiler compartment,.
3. Find the oven pilot port at the back of the broiler
compartment,, The long tube, running from front to
back, is the oven burner. The pilot port is at the
back, about one inch below the burner°
4. Using a long match or match holder, reach in and
light the oven piloL
To light the oven burner:
Turn the OVEN CONTROL knob to the desired tem-
perature. The burner should light within 60 seconds_
Proper flame configuration:
While using the oven burner, visually check the burner
flame in the broiler compartment,, If flame does not
burn as described in the Installation section of this
book, adjust the flame following the directions on
those pages°
Power failure? An electrical power failure will not
affect a lighted standing oven pilot.
Lighting instructions for
Electric ignition iVlodels
The oven burner is lighted by electric ignition (on
some models).
To light the burner, turn the OVEN CONTROL knob
to the desired temperature_ The burner should ignite
within 30-90 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,
Power Outage
CAUTION: DO NOT MAKE ANY ATTEMPT TO
OPERATE THE ELECTRIC IGNITION OVEN DUR-
ING AN ELECTRICAL POWER FAILURE, The oven
or broiler cannot be lit during a power failure. Gas
will not flow unless the glow bar is hot.
If the oven is in use when a power failure occurs,
the oven burner shuts off and cannot be re-lit until
power is restored,,
Oven Control
The OVEN CONTROL knob is
located on the control panel on
the front of the range, Simply turn
the knob to the desired cooking
temperatures
it will normally take 30-90 sec-
onds before the flame comes on,,
After the oven reaches the
selected temperature, the oven
burner cycles--off completely, then on with a full
flame--to maintain the selected temperature_
Oven Light (on some models)
When the door is opened, the oven light comes on
automatically° Some models have a switch on the
lower control panel that allows you to turn the light on
or off when the door is closed,

Oven Vents
The oven is vented through duct openings at the rear
of the cooktop See Features section. Do not block
these openings when cooking in the oven--it is impor-
tant that the flow of hot air from the oven and fresh air
to the oven burners be uninterrupted.
,The vent openings and nearby surfaces may
become hot. Do not touch them.
o Do not leave plastic
items on the cooktop---
they may melt if left
too close to the vent.
Handles of pots and
pans on the cooktop
may become hot if left too close to the vent.
o Metal items will become very hot if they are left
on the cool{top and could cause burns,
o Do not leave any items on the cooktop. The hot
air from the vent may ignite flammable items and will
increase pressure in closed containers, which may
cause them to burst.
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 plac-
ing food on them.
When placing cookware on a shelf, pull the shelf out
to the "stop" position.. Place the cookware on the shelf,
then slide the shelf back into the oven. This will elimi-
nate reaching into the hot oven..
To remove a shelf from
the oven, pull it toward
you, tilt front end upward
and pull shelf out°
To replace, place shelf
] on shelf support with
stop-locks (curved exten-
sion of shelf) facing up
and toward rear of oven.
Tilt up front and push shelf toward back of oven until it
goes past "stop" on oven wall. Then lower front of
shelf and push it all the way back..
Shelf Positions
The oven has five shelf
supports for normal bak-
ing and roasting as
shown in this illustration,
A (bottom), B, C, D and E
(top). It also has a special
low shelf position (R) for
roasting extra large
items, such as a large
turkey--the shelf is not
designed to slide out at
this position.. Shelf positions for cooking are suggest-
ed on Baking and Roasting pages.
Oven Moisture
As your oven heats up, the temperature change of
the air in the oven may cause water droplets to
form on the door glass These droplets are harm-
less and will evaporate as the oven continues to
heat up
(continued next page)

Oven Temperature Adjustment
When cooking food for the first time in your new
oven, use time given on recipes as a guide. Oven
thermostats, over a period of years, may "drift" from
the factory setting and the differences in timing
between an old and a new oven of 5 to 10 degrees
are not unusual. Your oven has been set correctly at
the factory and is more likely to be accurate than the
oven which it replaced.
We do not recommend the use of inexpensive
thermometers, such as those found in the grocery
store, to check the temperature setting of your new
oven. These thermometers can vary by 20-40
degree&
If you think the oven should be hotter or cooler,
you can adjust it yourself. To decide how much to
change the temperature, set the oven temperature
25°E higher or lower than the temperature in your
recipe, then bake. The results of this "test" should give
you an idea of how much the temperature should be
changed..
Pull the OVEN CONTROL knob off the range and look
at the back side.
To make adjustment, loosen (approximately one turn),
but do not completely remove, the two screws on the
back of the knob. With the back of the knob facing
you, hold the outer edge of the knob with one hand
and turn the front of the knob with the other hand.
(appearance may vary)
To raise the oven temperature, move the top screw
toward the right. You'll hear a click for each notch you
move the knob. To lower the temperature, move the
top screw toward the left. Each click will change the
oven temperature approximately 10°E, (Range is plus
or minus 60°E from the arrow°)
We suggest that you make the adjustment one click
from the original setting and check oven performance
before making any additional adjustments°
After the adjustment is made, retighten screws so they
are snug, but be careful not to overtighten. Reinstall
knob on range and check performance.
Air Adjustment Shutter for Oven Burners
The air adjustment shutter for the bottom burner regu-
lates the flow of air to the flames.
See installation Section of this book for instructions
for location and proper adjustment of the shutter.

Clock and Timer (onsome models)
DigF_aiClock and Timer (onsomemodels)
The electronic range clock and timer allow you to set
the timer up to 9 hours and 45 minutes You have the
choice of having the timer show the time counting
down or the time of day° In either case, the timer will
signal at the end of the timer period to alert you that
the time is up
To Set the Clock
NOTE: When you first plug
in the range or after a
power failure, the entire
Clock/Timer display will light
up. After several seconds "12:00" will flash on the dis-
play
1. Press the CLOCK pad, "12:00" stops flashing and
"SET TIME" flashes on the display.
2. Press and hold the UP or DOWN pad and the time
of day will change 10 minutes at a timer To change
the time by single minutes, give the pads short
taps.
For example, to set the clock for 3:15, press and hold
the UP pad until "3:10" appears, and then tap the UP
pad until "3:15" is displayed.
3. Press the CLOCK pad and the clock will be set if
you do not press the CLOCK pad, the clock will
automatically be set within one minute.
To Set the Timer

Baking
How to Set Your Range for Baking
1. To avoid possible burns, place the shelves in the
correct position before you turn the oven on.
2. Close the oven door. Turn OVEN CONTROL knob
to desired temperature
3o Check food for doneness at minimum time on
recipe. Cook longer if necessary,. Turn OVEN
CONTROL knob to OFF and remove food..
For best baking results, follow these suggestions:
Oven Shelves
Arrange the oven shelf
or shelves in the desired
locations while the oven O
is cool_ The correct
shelf position depends _)
on the kind of food and _
the browning desired° O
As a general rule, place _)
most foods in the mid-
die of the oven, on either the second or third shelf
from the bottom. See the chart for suggested shelf
positions,.

Shelf Position
Preheating
Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it. Preheat
means bringing the oven up to the specified tempera-
ture before putting in the food To preheat, set the
oven at the correct temperature--selecting a higher
temperature does not shorten preheat time_
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
Baking Pans
Use the proper baking pan_ The type of finish on the
pan determines the amount of browning that will
occur.,
o Dark, rough or dul! 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.
o Glass baking dishes also absorb heat,. When baking
in glass baking dishes, lower the temperature by
25°F. and use the recommended cooking time in the
recipe_ This is not necessary when baking pies or
casseroles.,
Pan Placement
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.
Pans should not touch each other or the walls of the
oven. Allow I to 1inch 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°
28
background
Baking Guides
When using prepared baking mixes, follow package
recipe or instructions for the best baking results°
Cookies
When baking cookies,
flat cookie sheets (with-
out sides) produce bet-
ter-looking cookies.
Cookies baked in a
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
walls or the door of the oven.
For best results, use only one cookie sheet in the
oven at a time.
Pies
For best results, bake pies in dark, rough or dull pans
to produce a browner, crisper crust. Frozen pies in foil
pans should be placed on an aluminum cookie sheet
for baking since the shiny foil pan reflects heat away
from the pie crust; the cookie sheet helps retain it..
Cakes
When baking cakes, warped or bent pans will cause
uneven baking results and poorly shaped products. A
cake baked in a pan larger than the recipe recom-
mended will usually be crisper, thinner and drier than
it should beo If baked in a pan smaller than recom-
mended, it may be undercooked and batter may over-
flowo Check the recipe to make sure the pan size used
is the one recommended°
Aluminum Foil
Never entirely cover a
shelf with a large cookie
sheet or aluminum foil,
This will disturb the heat
circulation and results in
poor baking,, A smaller
sheet of foil may be used
to catch a spiltover by pla- _///
cing it on a lower shelf
several inches below the food.
Don't Peek
Set the timer for the estimated cooking time and do
not open the door to look at your food. Most recipes
provide minimum and maximum baking times such as
"bake 30-40 minutes."
DO NOT open the door to check until the minimum
time.. Opening the oven door frequently during cook-
ing allows heat to escape and makes baking times
longer.. Your baking results may also be affected..

Roasting
Roasting is cooking by dry heat.. Tender meat or pou!-
try can be roasted uncovered in your oven Roasting
temperatures, which should be low and steady, keep
spattering to a minimum.
The oven has a special
low shelf (R) position just
above the oven bottom.
Use it when extra cooking
space is needed, for
example, when roasting a
large turkey., The shelf is
not designed to slide out
at this position..
Roasting is really a baking procedure used for meats.
Roasting is easy; just follow these steps:
_)_--}-_ Step 1: Position oven
shelf at (B) position forsmall size roast (3 to 5
lbs.) and at (R) position
for larger roasts..
Step 2: Check the weight of the meat. Place the meat
fat-side-up or the poultry breast-side-up on roasting
rack in a shallow pan,. The melting fat will baste the
meal Select a pan as close to the size of the meat as
possible. (Broiler pan with rack is a good pan for this).
Line the broiler pan with aluminum foil when using the
pan for marinating, cooking with fruits, cooking heavi-
ly cured meats, or basting the food during cooking.
Avoid spilling these materials inside the oven or inside
the oven door°
Step 3: Turn OVEN CONTROL
knob to desired temperature (you
may hear a slight clicking sound,
indicating the oven is working
properly).. Check the Roasting
Guide for temperatures and
approximate cooking times.
Step 4: Most meats continue to cook slightly while
standing after being removed from the oven.
Recommended standing time for roasts is 10 to 20
minutes,. This allows roasts to firm up and makes
them easier to carve° Internal temperature will rise
about 5° to 10°E If you wish to compensate for tem-
perature rise, remove the roast from the oven when
its internal temperature is 5 ° to 10°E tess than tem-
perature shown in the Roasting Guide,.
Remember that food will continue to cook in the hot
oven and therefore should be removed when the
desired internal temperature has been reached.
Frozen Roasts
Frozen roasts of beef, pork, lamb, etc_, can be start-
ed without thawing, but allow 15 to 25 minutes per
pound additional time (15 minutes per pound for
roasts under 5 pounds, more time for larger roasts),.
. Thaw most frozen poultry before roasting to ensure
even doneness Some commercial frozen poultry
can be cooked successfully without thawing_ Follow
directions given on package label,.
Dual Shelf Cooking
This allows more than one food to be cooked at the
same time. For example: While roasting a 20-1b. turkey
on shelf position R, a second shelf (if so equipped)
may be added on position D so that scalloped pota-
toes can be cooked at the same timer Calculate the
total cooking time to enable both dishes to complete
cooking at the same time. Allow 15-20 minutes of
additional cooking time for the potatoes,

BroiRing
Broiling is cooking food by direct heat from above the
food. Your range has a convenient compartment
below the oven for broiling., it also has a specially
designed broiler pan and rack that allows dripping fat
to drain away from the high heat of the gas flame_
Distance from the heat source may be changed by
positioning the broiler pan and rack on one of the
three shelf positions in the broiler compartment--A
(bottom of broiler compartment),--B (middle) and C
(top),
Most fish and tender cuts of meat can be broiled.
Follow these steps to keep spattering and smoking to
a minimum.
The oven and broiler compartment doors must be
closed during broiling.
How to Broil
1. Broiler compartment does not need to be preheated
for broiling,
2. If meat has fat or gristle near the edge, cut vertical
slashes through it about 2 inches apart, but don't
cut into meat. We recommend that you trim fat to
prevent excessive smoking, leaving a layer about
1/8 inch thick,
3. Arrange food on rack and position the broiler pan
on the appropriate shelf in the broiler compartmenL
Placing food closer to flame sears the exterior and
increases surface browning of food, but also
increases spattering and the possibility of fats and
meat juices igniting,,
4. Close the broiler door and turn the OVEN CON-
TROL knob to BROIL.
5. Turn most foods once during cooking (the excep-
tion is thin fillets of fish; oil one side, place that side
down on broiler rack and cook without turning until
done)° Time food for about one-half the total cook-
ing time, turn food, then continue to cook to pre-
ferred donenes&
6. Turn OVEN CONTROL knob to OFF, Remove broil-
er pan from broiler compartment and serve food
immediately., Do not leave a soiled broiler pan and
rack inside the range,,
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
I
juices from draining to the
broiler pan_ The juices could become hot enough to
catch on fire If you do not cut the slits, you are frying,
not broiling.
Questions & Answers
Q. When broiling, is it necessary to always use a
rack in the pan?
A. Yes,, Using the rack suspends the meat over the
pan,, As the meat cooks, the juices fall into the pan,
thus keeping meat drier. Juices are protected by
the rack and stay cooler, thus preventing excessive
spatter and smoking_
Q. Should I salt the meat before broiling?
A. No, Salt draws out the juices and allows them to
evaporate, Always salt after cooking, Turn meat
with tongs; piercing meat with a fork also allows
juices to escape. When broiling poultry or fish,
brush each side often with butter_
Why are my meats not turning out as brown as
they should?
Check to see if you are using the recommended
broil position,, Broil for longest period of time indi-
cated in the Broiling Guide,. Turn food only once
during broiling,

8roiSing Tips
The oven and broiler compartment doors must be
closed during broiling.
1. Always use broiler pan and rack that comes with
your range., It is designed to minimize smoking and
spattering by trapping juices in the shielded lower
part of the pan,
2. For steaks and chops, slash fat evenly around out-
side edges of meat., To slash, cut crosswise through
outer fat surface just to the edge of the meat,, Use
tongs to turn meat over to prevent piercing meat
and losing juices,
3, if desired, marinate meats or chicken before broil-
ing, Or brush with barbecue sauce last 5 to 10 mira
utes only,,
4. When arranging food on pan, do not let fatty edges
hang over sides, which could soil the broiler with fat
dripping.
5. Broiler compartment does not need to be preheat-
ed. However, for very thin foods, or to increase
browning, preheat if desired
6. Frozen steaks can be broiled by positioning the
broiler pan and rack at next lowest shelf position
and increasing cooking time given in this guide 1',4
times per side

Care and Caear ing
Proper care and cleaning are important so your range
will give you efficient and satisfactory service, Follow
these directions carefully in caring for it to help assure
safe and proper maintenance.
BE SURE ELECTRICAL POWER iS DISCONNECT-
ED BEFORE CLEANING ANY PART OF YOUR
RANGE.

Pan
(on some modets)
Turn all controls OFF before removing burner parts
and drip pans (if so equipped)_
The burner grates, caps, burner heads and drip pans
(if so equipped) can be lifted off, making them easy to
clean_
The holes in the surface burners of your range must
be kept clean at all times for proper ignition and an
even, unhampered flame.
The electrode of "'_i'Electrode
the spark igniter
is exposed. When
one burner is
turned to LtTE, all
the burners spark.
Do not attempt to
disassemble or clean around any burner while
another burner is ono An electric shock may result,
which could cause you to knock over hot
cookware.
You should clean the surface burners routinely, espe-
cially after bad spillovers, which could clog these
hole& Wipe off the surface burners. If heavy spillover
occurs, remove the surface burners from the range.
Burners lift out for cleaning. Lift up the cooktop and
then lift out the surface burners.
To remove burned*on food, soak the surface burner
in a solution of mild liquid detergent and water. Soak
the surface burner for 20 to 30 minutes. For more
stubborn stains use a cleanser like Soft Scrub _ brand
or Bon AmP brand° Rinse well to remove any traces of
the cleanser that might clog the burner openings, Do
not use steel wool because it will clog the surface
burner openings and scratch the surface burners. If
the holes become clogged, clean them with a tooth-
pick.
Before putting the surface burner back, shake out
excess water and then dry it thoroughly by setting it
in a warm oven for 30 minutes. Then place it back in
the range, making sure it is properly seated and level.
Burner Caps: (on sealed burners only)
Lift off when cool. Wash burner caps in
hot, soapy water and rinse with clean
water_ If desired, soak up to 30 minutes.
Scour with a plastic scouring pad to remove burned-

Burner Heads: (onsealed burners only)
The holes in the burners of your range,
and the spark electrodes, must be kept
clean at all times for proper ignition and
an even, unhampered flame.
You should clean the burner heads routinely, espe-
cially after bad spillovers, which could clog these
holes Wipe off burner heads. If heavy spillover
occurs, remove burner heads from range.
Remove the burner grate and burner cap.. Then lift the
burner head straight up_
To remove burned-on food, soak the burner head in a
solution of mild liquid detergent and water. Soak the
burner head upside-down for 20 to 30 minutes in a
solution of hot water and mild liquid detergent. If the
food doesn't rinse off completely, scrub it with soap
and water and a soft brush or plastic scouring pad.
For more stubborn stains, use a cleanser like Soft
Scrub s' brand or Bon Ami '_ brand_ Rinse well to
remove any traces of the cleanser that might clog the
burner openings. Do not use steef wool because it will
clog the burner openings and scratch the burners° If
the holes become clogged, clean them with a
toothpick_
Before putting the burner head back, shake out
excess water and dry it thoroughly by setting it in a
warm oven for 30 minutes Then place it back in the
range, making sure the pin in the burner base goes in
the hole in the burner head, and that the burner heads
are properly seated and level°

Care and Cneaning (continued)
Drip Pans (onsomemodels )
Remove the grates and
lift out the drip pans.
Drip pans can be
cleaned in dishwasher
or by hand. To get rid of
burned-on food, place
the drip pans in a cov-
ered container (or plastic bag) with 1/4 cup ammonia
to loosen the soil. Then scrub with a soap-filled scour-
ing pad if necessary°
Burner Grates
Lift out when coot..
Grates should be
washed regularly
and, of course, after
spillovers, Wash them
in hot, soapy water and rinse with clean water. After
cleaning, dry them thoroughly by putting them in a
warm oven for a few minutes. Don't put the grates
back on the range while they are wet. When replac-
ing the grates, be sure they're positioned securely
over the burners.
To prevent rusting on cast iron grates, apply a light
coating of cooking oil on the bottom of the grates°
To get rid of burned-on food, place the grates in a
covered container (or plastic bag) with 1/4 cup
ammonia to loosen the soilo Then scrub with a soap-
filled scouring pad if necessary,.
Although they're durable, the grates will gradually lose
their shine, regardless of the best care you can give
them,. This is due to their continual exposure to high
temperatures.
Do not operate a burner for an extended period of
time without cookware on the grate.. The finish on the
grate may chip without cookware to absorb the heat.
Lift-up Cooktop (onmodels with dual burners)
Clean the area under
the cooktop often.
Built-up soil, especial-
ly grease, may catch
on fire,
To make cleaning
easier, the cooktop
may be lifted up.
To raise the cook'top:
1. Be sure burners are turned off_
2. Remove the grates.
3. Grasp the two front burner wells and lift up.,
Some models have dual support rods that will hold the
cooktop up while you clean underneath it.
After cleaning under the cooktop with hot, soapy
water and a clean cloth, lower the cooktop° Be careful
not to pinch your fingers. Lower cooktop gently to
avoid blowing out pilot flames (on models with stand-
ing pilots).
Cooktop Surface
To avoid damaging the porcelain enamel surface of
the cooktop and to prevent it from becoming dull,
clean up spills right away_ Foods with a lot of acid
(tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices, etc.) or foods with
high sugar content could cause a dull spot if allowed
to sit. When the surface has cooled, wash and rinse,.
For other spills such as fat spatterings, etc°, wash with
soap and water once the surface has cooled. Then
rinse and polish with a dry cloth. Be careful when you
clean the cooktop because the area over the pilot will
be hot (on models with standing pilots).
Do not store flammable materials in an oven or
near the cooktop. Do not store or use combustible
materials, gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

background
Oven Air Vents
Never block the vents (air openings) of the
range. They provide the air inlet and outlet that are
necessary for the range to operate properly with
correct combustion. Air openings are located at the
rear of the cooktop, at the top and bottom of the
oven door, and at the bottom of the range, under
the kick panel, storage drawer or broiler drawer
(depending on the model)..
MetaB Parts
Do not use steel wool, abrasives, ammonia or com-
mercial oven cleaners° To safely clean surfaces; wash
rinse, and then dry with a soft cloth_
GmassSurfaces
To clean the outside glass finish, use a glass cleaner.
Rinse and polish with a dry cloth. Do not allow the
water or cleaner to run down inside openings in the
glass while cleaning.
Broiler Pan and Rack
After broiling, remove the broiler pan and rack from
the storage drawer, oven or broiler compartment
(depending on your model). Remove the rack from the
pan_ Carefully pour out the grease in the pan into a
proper container.
If food has burned on, sprinkle the rack with detergent
while hot and cover with wet paper towels or a dish-
cloth_ That way, burned-on foods will soak loose while
the meal is being served.
Wash; scour if necessary_ Rinse and dry_
Do not let a soiled pan and rack stand in the range to
cool The broiler pan and rack may be cleaned in a
dishwasher.. Do not store a soiled broiler pan and rack
anywhere in the range.

Oven Door
The oven door is removable but it is heavy.. You may
need help removing and replacing the door.
To remove the door, open it a few inches to the spe-
cial stop position that will hold the door open. Grasp
firmly on each side and lift the door straight up and off
the hinges.
NOTE: Be careful not to place hands between the
hinge and the oven door frame as the hinge could
snap back and pinch fingers..
To replace the door, make
sure the hinges are in the
special stop position.
Position the slots in the bot-
tom of the door squarely
over the hinges. Then lower
the door slowly and evenly
over both hinges at the
same time. If hinges snap
back against the oven
frame, pull them back out.
TO CLEAN THE DOOR:
(Do not immerse door in water.)
Inside of door:
Allow to cool before cleaning, For light soil, wipe fre-
quently with mild soap and water (especially after
cooking meat). This will prolong the time between
major cleaning° Rinse thoroughly,, NOTE: Soap left
on the oven door causes additional stains when
the oven is reheated.
For heavy soil, choose an oven cleaner (for
Continuous Cleaning oven, before applying
commercial oven cleaner, remove the oven door)
and follow label instructions_ Rinse well.
Outside of 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 surface is cool, clean and rinse°
,, Do not use oven cleaners, cleansing powders or
harsh abrasives on the outside of the door..

Control Panel and Knobs
It's a good idea to wipe the control panel after each
use of the oven.. Clean with mild soap and water, or
vinegar and water, rinse with clean water and polish
dry with a soft cloth.
Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong liquid cleaners,
plastic scouring pads or oven cleaners on the control
panel--they wilt damage the finish. A 50/50 solution
of vinegar and hot water works well.
The control knobs may be removed for easier clean-
ing. To remove knob, pull it straight off the stem. If
knob is difficult to remove, place a towel or dishcloth
between the knob and control panel and pull gently.
Wash the knobs in soap and water, or vinegar solu-
tion, but do not soak.
To clean the outside glass finish use a glass cleaner.
Do not allow the water or glass cleaner to run down
inside openings in the glass while cleaning.
Metal parts can be cleaned with soap and water.. Do
not use steel wool, abrasives, ammonia, acids or
commercial oven cleaners. Dry with a soft cloth°
Oven Shelves
Shelves can be cleaned by hand using soap and
water or with an abrasive cleanser, After cleaning,
rinse the shelves with clean water and dry. To remove
heavy, burned-on soil, you may use scouring pads..
After scrubbing, wash with soapy water, rinse and dry.
Oven Bottom
The oven bottom has a porcelain enamel finish. To
make cleaning easier, protect the oven bottom from
excessive spillovers by placing a cookie sheet on the
shelf below the shelf you are cooking on. You can use
aluminum foil if you do not cover the whole shelf. This
is particularly important when baking a fruit pie or
other foods with a high acidic content. Hot fruit fillings
or other foods that are highly acidic (such as milk,
tomatoes or sauerkraut, and sauces with vinegar or
lemon juice) may cause pitting and damage to the
porcelain enamel surface.
If a spillover does occur on the oven bottom, allow
the oven to cool firsL Remove the oven bottom for
easier clean-up and to prevent damage to the contin-
uous cleaning oven coating
Frequent wipings with mild soap and water (particu-
larly after cooking meat) will prolong the time between
major cleanings Rinse thoroughly.. Soap left on the
oven bottom can cause stain&
For heavy soil, use an abrasive cleaner or a soap-
filled scouring pad, A commercial oven cleaner may
also be used, following the package directions, as
long as the bottom is removed from the oven..

Oven Light Bulb (onsomemodels)
The light bulb is located in the upper left corner of the
oven. Before replacing the bulb, disconnect electrical
power to range at the main fuse or circuit breaker
panel or unplug the range from the electrical outlet.
Let the bulb cool completely before removing iL
Replace the bulb with a 40 watt appliance bulb only.
Do not touch a hot bulb with a damp cloth as the bulb
will break.
Porcelain Oven Interior
(on all models except Continuous-Cleaning mod-
els)
With proper care, the porcelain enamel interior will
retain its attractive finish for many years,
Soap and water will normally do the job. Heavy spat-
tering or spillovers may require cleaning with a mild
abrasive cleanser, Soapy, wet pads may also be
used. Do not allow food spills with a high sugar or acid
content (such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit
juices or pie filling) to remain on the surface_ They
may cause dull spots even after cleaning°
Household ammonia may make the cleaning job easi-
er. Place t/2 cup ammonia in a shallow glass pan and
leave in a cold oven overnight The ammonia fumes
will help loosen the burned-on grease and food_
When necessary, you may use a commercial oven
cleaner.. Follow the package directions,
Cautions about using spray-on oven cleaners:
Be careful where the oven cleaner is sprayed_
o Do not spray oven cleaner on the electrical controls
and switches (on some models) because it could
cause a short circuit and result in sparking or fire.
o Do not allow a film from the cleaner to remain on the
temperature sensing bulb--it could cause the oven
to heat improperly. (The bulb is located at the rear of
the oven..) Carefully wipe the bulb clean after each
oven cleaning, being careful not to move the bulb as
a change in its position could affect how the oven
bakes°
Do not spray any oven cleaner on the outside oven
door, handles or any exterior surface of the oven,
wood or painted surfaces° The cleaner can damage
these surfaces

Care and €Meaning(cont oued)
Specia Care of Continuous-Cleaning
Oven interior (on some models)
The Continuous-Cleaning Oven cleans itself while
cooking. The oven walls are finished with a special
coating that cannot be cleaned in the usual manner
with soap, detergents, steel wool pads, commercial
oven cleaners, coarse abrasive pads or coarse brush-
es Use of such cleansers and/or the use of oven
sprays will cause permanent damage
The special coating is a porous ceramic material,
which is dark in color and feels slightly rough to the
touch° If magnified, the surface would appear as
peaks, valleys and sub-surface "tunnels_" This rough
finish tends to prevent grease spatters from forming
little beads or droplets that run down the side walls of
a hard-surface oven liner, leaving unsightly streaks
that require hand cleaning, Instead, when spatter hits
the porous finish, it is dispersed and partially
absorbed. This spreading action increases the expo-
sure of oven soil to heated air and makes it somewhat
less noticeable
Soil may not disappear completely and at some
time after extended usage, stains may appear that
cannot be removed
This special coating works best on small amounts
of spatter. It does not work well with larger spills,
especially sugars, egg or dairy mixtures The oven
bottom does not have the continuous cleaning oven
coating and can be removed and cleaned with a com-
mercial oven cleaner
This special coating is not used on oven shelves,
the oven bottom or on the inside of the oven door.
Remove these to clean with a commercial oven clean-
er to prevent damaging the Continuous-Cleaning
Oven coating
Make sure the oven bottom is in place before you
turn the oven on for any reason.
Use care in removing and replacing the oven bot-
tom and shelves and in placing and removing dishes
and food to avoid scratching, rubbing or otherwise
damaging the porous finish on the oven walls
To Clean the Continuous-Cleaning Oven:
1. Let range parts cool before handling We recom-
mend rubber gloves be worn when cleaning
2. Remove shelves and cookware
3. Soil visibility may be reduced by operating the oven
at 400°R Close the door and turn OVEN CON-
TROL knob to 400°E Time for at least four hours,,
Repeated cycles may be necessary before
improvement in appearance is apparenL
REMEMBER: During the operation of the oven, the
door and other range surfaces will get hot enough
to cause burns. Do not touch. Let the range cool
before replacing oven shelves.
4. If a spillover or heavy soiling occurs on the porous
surface, as soon as the oven has cooled, remove
as much of the soil as possible using a small
amount of water and a stiff-bristle nylon brush. Use
water sparingly and change it frequently, keeping it
as clean as possible, and be sure to blot it up with
paper towels, cloths or sponges_ Do not rub or
scrub with paper towels, cloths or sponges, since
they will leave unsightly lint on the oven finish If
water leaves a white ring on the finish as it dries,
apply water again and blot it with a clean sponge,
starting at the edge of the ring and working toward
the center.
Do not use soap, detergent, steel wool pads,
commercial oven cleaner, silicone oven
sprays, coarse pads or coarse brushes on the
porous surface. These products will spot, clog
and mar the porous surface and reduce its ability
to work.
Do not scrape the porous surface with a knife
or spatula--they could permanently damage the
finish_
The oven bottom has a porcelain enamel finish.
The oven bottom comes out for cleaning away from
the Continuous-Cleaning Oven
The inside of the oven door has a porcelain enam-
el finish. The oven door lifts off for cleaning away
from the Continuous_Cleaning Oven. For instructions
on how to clean the inside of the oven door refer to
the Lift-Off Oven Door section.
