_ WARNING!
To prevent accidental
tipping of the range
from abnormal use, including
excessive loading of the oven
door, attach the range to the
wall or floor by installing the
Anti-Tip device supplied. If the
range is moved for cleaning,
servicing or any reason, be
sure the Anti-Tip device is
re-engaged properly when
the range is slid back in the
opening. Failure to do so could
result in the range tipping and
may cause personal injury.
To inspect the Anti-Tip device,
remove the storage drawer and
look to see if the rear leg leveler
fully engages the slot in the
bracket.
Important: To ensure safety for
yourself, family, and home, please
read your Owner's Manual carefully
Keep it handy for reference Pay
close attention to Safety Sections
BE SURE your appliance is installed
and grounded by a qualified
technician
iMPORTANT SAFETY
NOTICE!
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 birth
defects or other reproductive harm
and requires businesses to warn
their customers of potential
exposure to such substances.
The fiberglass insulation in a
self-cleaning oven will give off a
very small amount of carbon
monoxide during the cleaning
cycle. Exposure can be minimized
by venting with an open door or
window or using a ventilation fan
or hood.
IMPORTANT: The health of
some birds is extremely sensitive
to the fumes given off during
the self-cleaning cycle of any
range. Move birds to another
well-ventilated room.

OPERATION
OvenCookingTips
it is normal to have some odor when
using your oven for the first time To
help eliminate this odor, ventilate the
room by opening a window or using
a vent hood,
Opening the door often to check foods will
cause heat loss and poor baking results
Preheating is bringing the oven
temperature up to the temperature you will
be using during baking Let the oven
preheat when recipes call for preheating
IMPORTANT: Never cover the oven
bottom or oven rack with aluminum
foil improper use can cause poor
heat flow, poor baking results, and
may damage the oven finish To
prevent staining from spillovers, you
may place a piece of aluminum foil or
a cookie sheet on the rack below the
food which may spill over.
To prolong the life of your oven light bulb,
follow this helpful tip: Always turn the light
off when the oven is not in use or during a
self-clean cycle tf your appliance does
nothave a window in the door, you will
need to open the door to make sure the
oven light is off If your oven light is left
on for an extended period of time, the
oven wil! be warm when the door is
opened due to the heat generated from
the oven light bulb
The oven vent is located under
the right rear element This area could
become hot during oven use tt is
normaf for steam to come out of
the vent and/or collect moisture
underneath when the oven is in
use. The vent is important for proper
air circulation Never block this vent.
Oven Vent
Location
Most recipes for baking have been
developed using high-fat products such
as butter or margarine (80% fat by
weight--the federal requirement for
products labeled "margarine") You will
get poor results if cakes, pies, pastries,
cookies, or candies are made with low-fat
spreads Low-fat spreads contain less fat
and more water The high moisture
content of these spreads affects the
texture and flavor of favorite baked
recipes The lower the fat content of a
spread product, the more noticeable
these differences become To ensure
best results, use margarine, butter, or
stick spreads containing at least 70%
vegetable oil
14
OPERATION
OvenCookingTips(cont.)
Baking results will be better if baking
pans are centered in the oven as
much as possible If baking with
more than one pan, place the pans so
each has at !east 1 to 11/2"of air space
around it If baking four cake layers at
the same time, place two layers on
rack 2 and two layers on rack 4
Stagger pans on the rack so one
is not directly above the other
The Oven Temperature Sensor
continuously senses and controls the
temperature inside the oven To keep a
constant set temperature, the elements
will cycle (turn on and off during cooking),
The oven racks are designed with
stops, a convenience as we!! as a
safety precaution The guides have a
bump to prevent the racks from tilting
when they are pulled out of the oven
This design allows racks to be
inserted in only one way
Bump in [_ tf[
Rack Guide
FLAT COOKIE SHEETS, without
sides, allow air to circulate all around
the cookies for even browning
SHINY PANS reflect heat, and are
perfect for cakes and quick breads
that need a light brown crust
GLASS, DARK NON-STICK,
OR DARKENED-BY-AGE
BAKEWARE absorbs heat, and can
be used for yeast breads, pie crust, or
foods that need a brown crust The
oven temperature should be reduced
by 25°F
Your oven has six (6) rack positions
The top position is only a guide It
cannot be used as a rack position
Guides
Always place oven racks in the proper
position while oven is cool,
CAUTION: When you are using the rack in
the lowest position (1),you will need to
use caution when pulling the rack out. We
recommend that you pull the rack out
several inches and then, using two
potholders, pull the rack out by holding
the sides of it The rack is low and you
could be burned ifyou place your hand in
the middle of the rack and pull all the way
out Bevery careful not to burn your hand
on the door when using a rack in the
15 lowest position (1)
OPERATION
OvenCookingTips(cont.)
You may feet that your new oven
cooks differently than the oven it
replaced We recommend that you
use your new oven a few weeks
to become more familiar with it,
following the times given in your
recipes as a guide tf you feel
your oven is too hot or too cool
for your cooking preference, see

OPERATION
Broiling
Broiling is cooking by direct heat
from the upper element The oven
door should remain opened to the
broil stop position during broiling
It is not necessary to preheat the oven
when broiling Use the broiler pan and
grid that came with your range Both
are designed for proper drainage of
fat and liquids
'_lf foil is used, it must be
molded tightly to the grid
and slits cut into the foil
to match those of the grid. This
allows fats and liquids to drain
into the broiler pan, preventing
fire and excessive smoke.
Always remove the
pan and grid from zl
the oven. Storing
or forgetting a
soiled broiler pan
in the oven is a potential smoke
or fire hazard°
The U S Department of Agriculture
recommends to cook meat and
poultry thoroughly--meat to at least
an INTERNAL temperature of 160°F
and poultry to at least an INTERNAL
temperature of 180°F Cooking to
these temperatures usuatly protects
against food-borne illness
The closer you place foods to the
broil element, the faster foods brown
on the outside yet remain red to pink
in the center
Moving meats away from the element
will allow the meat to cook to the
center while browning on the outside
Using this positioning, cook side 1 at
least 2 minutes longer than side 2 If
your oven is connected to 208 volts,
you may want to use a higher rack
position and/or broil foods longer
The size, weight, thickness, starting
temperature, and your preference of
the doneness of the meat will affect
broiling The chart on the next page
is based on meats at refrigerator
temperature
1. Set the OVEN CONTROL KNOB
to BROIL

3. Wipe up any heavy spillovers on
the oven bottom

Do not clean the gasket The
fiberglass material of the oven
door gasket cannot withstand
abrasion It is essential for the
gasket to remain intact If you
notice it becoming worn or frayed,
it should be replaced
The gasket is designed to have a
5"-6" gap at the bottom of the door.
This allows for proper air circulation
Door Panel Gasket
t !.-o,,-J
Door Liner
It is normal for your oven door to give
the appearance of not having a good
seal against the range This is due to
the gasket The location of the gasket
on the door maintains a good seal
and prevents any heat loss
_ tensils should never be
left in the oven during a
self-clean cycle.
The oven racks may be cleaned
during the self-clean cycle, but
will lose their luster and become
hard to slide, if you choose to
leave them in during the cycle,
wiping them down with vegetable
oil after the cycle will help them
slide easier.
For the first clean cycle, vent the
room with an opened window or
hood vent. This will reduce the
odor produced when heating new
parts.

"DO-IT-YOURSELF"
TEMPERATURE
ADJUSTMENT
You may feet that your new oven
cooks differently than the oven it
replaced We recommend that you
use your new oven a few weeks to
become more familiar with it, following
the times given in your recipes as a
guide
If you think your new oven is too hot
(burning foods) or not hot enough
(foods are undercooked) you can
adjust the temperature yourself The
appearance and texture of foods is a
better indicator of oven accuracy than
an oven thermometer These
thermometers can vary by 20-40
degrees from the true temperature of
the oven In addition, the oven door
must be opened to read these
thermometers Opening the door will
change the temperature of the oven
To decide how much to change
the temperature, set the oven
temperature 25 degrees higher
(if foods are undercooked) or
25 degrees lower (if foods are
burning) 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
1. Press and hold, at the same
time, the HOUR UP and DOWN
arrow pads until the display
shows a two-digit number
2. Press the HOUR UP arrow pad to
increase the temperature, up to
+35°F hotter
or
Press the HOUR DOWN arrow
pad to decrease the temperature,
down to -35°F cooler
3. When this adjustment has been
made, the display will return to the
time of day
This adjustment will remain in memory
until these steps are repeated and a
new temperature is selected It wilt
remain in memory even after a power
failure
This adjustment will not affect the Broil
or Clean temperatures
