STATE OF CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 WARNING
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
This product contains one or more chemical known to the State of California to cause
cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Self-clean ovens can cause low-level exposure to some of these substances, including carbon monoxide, during the
cleaning cycle. Exposure can be minimized by venting with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood.
Use this appliance for its intended purpose as described
in this owner’s manual.
Have your range installed and properly grounded by
a qualified installer in accordance with the provided
installation instructions. Any adjustment and service
should be performed only by a qualified gas range
installers or service technicians. Do not attempt to repair
or replace any part of your range unless it is specifically
recommended in this manual.
Your range is shipped from the factory set for use with
natural gas. It can be converted for use with LP gas.
If required, these adjustments must be made by a
qualified technician in accordance with the installation
instructions and local codes. The agency performing this
work assumes responsibility for the conversion.
Have the installer show you the location of the range
gas shut-off valve and how to turn it off if necessary.
Plug your range into a 120-volt grounded outlet only. Do
not remove the round grounding prong from the plug.
If in doubt about the grounding of the home electrical
system, it is your responsibility and obligation to have an
ungrounded outlet replaced with a properly grounded,
three prong outlet in accordance with the National
Electrical Code. Do not use on extension cord with this
appliance.
Before performing any service, unplug the range
or disconnect the power supply at the household
distribution panel by removing the fuse or switching off
the circuit breaker.
Be sure all packing materials are removed from the
range before operating to prevent ignition of these
materials.
Avoid scratching or impacting glass doors, cooktops or
control panels. Doing so may lead to glass breakage. Do
not cook on a product with broken glass. Shock, fire or
cuts may occur.

use. They should never be allowed to climb, sit or stand
on any part of the appliance.
CAUTION Do not store items of interest to
children in cabinets above an oven - children climbing
on the oven to reach items could be seriously injured.
Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang on the
oven door or drawer. They could damage the range or
tip it over causing severe injury or death.
WARNING
GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING NEVER use this appliance
as a space heater to heat or warm the room. Doing
so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and
overheating of the oven.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Never block the vents (air openings) of the range. They
provide the air inlets and outlets that are necessary for
the range to operate properly with correct combustion.
Air openings are located at the top and bottom of the
oven door, and at the bottom of the range under lower
oven drawer or panel.

hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let
pot holders touch burner grate or oven heating element.
Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of pot
holders.
Do not touch the heating elements or the interior
surface of the oven. These surfaces may be hot
enough to burn even though they are dark in color.
During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or
other flammable materials contact any interior area
of the oven; allow sufficient time for cooling first. Other
surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to
cause burns. Potentially hot surfaces include the oven
vent opening, surfaces near the opening and crevices
around the oven door.
Do not heat unopened food containers. Pressure could
build up and the container could burst, causing an
injury.

internal temperature of 160°F and poultry to at least
an internal temperature of 180°F. Cooking to these
temperatures usually protects against foodborne illness.
Do not store or use flammable materials in an oven
including paper, plastic, pot holders, linens, wall
coverings, curtains, drapes and gasoline or other
flammable vapors and liquids.
Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments while
using the appliance. Avoid storing commonly used
items in cabinets above the range and be careful when
reaching over the range. Clothing in close proximity to
burners or hot surfaces may ignite causing severe burns.
Do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials
accumulate in or near the range. Grease in the oven
may ignite.
Clean ventilating hoods frequently. Grease should not
be allowed to accumulate on the hood or filter.
If there is a fire in the oven during baking, turn the oven
off and keep the door closed until the fire goes out. If
necessary, use a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam
type fire extinguisher. Do not use water on grease fires.
Never pick up a flaming pan.
If there is a fire in the oven during self-clean, turn the
oven off and wait for the fire to go out. Do not force
the door open. Introduction of fresh air at self-clean
temperatures may lead to a burst of flame from the
oven. Failure to follow this instruction may result in
severe burns.

Automatic Ignition
The oven burner is lit by electric ignition.
To light the burner, do the following:
Touch the pad for the desired function.
Then touch the + or – pads 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.
Before you begin…
Look at the controls. Be sure you
understand how to set them properly.
Check the oven interior. Look at the racks.
Take a practice run at removing and
replacing them properly to give sure,
sturdy support.
Read over the information and tips that
follow.
Keep this manual handy so you can refer
to it, especially during the first weeks of
using your new oven.
NOTE: You may notice a “burning” or “oily” smell
the first few times you turn your oven on. This
is normal in a new oven and will disappear in a
short time.
Power Outage
The oven burner will not light in the event of an
electrical power outage.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to light
it manually with a match.
Oven Vent
When the oven is on, heated air moves through
a vent behind the grille.
The vent area could get hot during oven use.
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.
Oven Light
Touch the OVEN LIGHT pad to turn the light on
or off.

Rack Positions
The oven has 4 rack supports, identified
in this illustration as A (bottom), B, C and
D (top).
Rack positions for cooking are suggested in the
Baking and Roasting sections.
Using the oven.
Oven Racks
The racks are designed with stop-locks
so that, when placed correctly on the rack
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.
When placing cookware on a rack, pull the rack
out to the bump on the rack support. Place the
cookware on the rack, then slide the rack back
into the oven. This will eliminate reaching into
the hot oven.
To remove a rack from the oven, pull the rack
toward you, tilt the front end upward and pull
the rack out.
To replace, place the rack on the rack support
with the stop-locks (curved extension of the
rack) facing up and toward the rear of the oven.
Tilt up the front and push the rack toward the
back
of the oven until it goes past the bump on the
rack support. Then lower the front of the rack
and push it all the way back.
Bump
Oven Moisture
As your oven heats up, the changing
temperature of the air in the oven may cause
water droplets to form on the door glass. These
droplets are harmless and will evaporate as the
oven continues to heat up.
Using the baking feature. GEAppliances.com
Your oven temperature is controlled very accurately using an oven control system. It is recommended that you operate the
oven for a number of weeks using the time given on recipes as a guide to become familiar with your new oven’s performance.
If you think an adjustment is necessary, see the Adjust the Oven Thermostat section. It lists easy Do It Yourself instructions
on how to adjust the thermostat.
How to Set Your Oven for Baking
To avoid possible burns, place the racks in the
correct position before you turn the oven on.
Touch the BAKE pad.
Touch the + or – pad to set the oven
temperature.
Touch the START pad.
When the oven starts to heat, the
changing temperature will be in the
display. (The display starts changing once
the temperature reaches 100°F.)
To change the oven temperature during the
Bake cycle, touch the BAKE pad and set the new
temperature.
Touch the CLEAR/OFF pad when the
baking is finished.
NOTE: A cooling 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.
Oven Racks
Arrange the oven rack or racks in the desired
locations while the oven is cool.
The correct rack position depends on the kind
of food and the browning desired.
As a general rule, place most foods in the
middle of the oven, on either rack position B or
C. See the chart for suggested rack positions.

Preheating
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
WKHFRUUHFWWHPSHUDWXUH³VHOHFWLQJDKLJKHU
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.
Aluminum Foil and Oven Liners
CAUTION: Do not use any type
of foil or oven liner to cover the oven bottom.
These items can block airflow or melt, resulting
in damage to the product and risk of carbon
monoxide poisoning, smoke or fire. Damage
from improper use of these items is not covered
by the product warranty.
Foil may be used to catch spills by placing a
sheet on a lower rack, several inches below
the food. Do not use more foil than necessary
and never entirely cover an oven rack with
aluminum foil. Keep foil at least 1-1/2” from
oven walls to allow air flow through the oven.

Cookies
When baking cookies, flat cookie sheets
(without sides) produce better-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.
Never entirely cover a rack with a large cookie
sheet.
For best results during baking, use only one
cookie sheet in the oven at a time.
Using the baking feature.
Baking Pans Pan Placement
Use the proper baking pan. The type of finish
on the pan determines the amount of browning
that will occur.
Dark, rough or dull 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.
Glass baking dishes also absorb heat.
When baking in glass baking dishes, the
temperature may need to be reduced by
25°F.
If you are using dark non-stick pans, you
may find that you need to reduce the oven
temperature 25°F to prevent over-browning.
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 1- to 1
1
ø2-inch space between
pans as well as from the back of the oven,
the door and the sides. If you need to use two
racks, stagger the pans so one is not directly
above the other.
Pies Cakes
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.
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 recommends will usually be crisper,
thinner and drier than it should be. If baked in
a pan smaller than recommended, it may be
undercooked and batter may overflow. Check
the recipe to make sure the pan size used is the
one recommended.
Peeking
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 cooking allows heat to
escape and makes baking times longer. Your
baking results may also be affected.
How to Set Your Oven for Time Bake
The oven control allows you to turn the oven on
or off automatically at specific times that you set.
Examples of Immediate Start (oven turns on now
and you set it to turn off automatically at the end
of cooking time) and Delay Start and Stop (setting
the oven to turn on automatically at a later time
and turn off after a preset cooking time) will be

You may find that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. Use your new oven for a few weeks to become
more familiar with it. If you still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the thermostat yourself.
Do not use thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of your oven.
These thermometers may vary 20–40 degrees.
NOTE: This adjustment will not affect the broiling temperatures. The adjustment will be retained in memory after
a power failure.
7KHW\SHRIPDUJDULQHZLOODIIHFWEDNLQJSHUIRUPDQFH
Most recipes for baking have been developed using high-fat products such as butter or margarine (80% fat). If you
decrease the fat, the recipe may not give the same results as with a higher fat product.
Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies, pastries, cookies or candies are made with low-fat spreads. The lower the fat
content of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become.
Federal standards require products labeled “margarine” to contain at least 80% fat by weight. Low fat spreads, on the other hand,
contain less fat and more water. The high moisture content of these spreads affects the texture and flavor of baked goods. For best
results with your old favorite recipes, use margarine, butter or stick spreads containing at least 70% vegetable oil.

How to Set Your Oven for Roasting
Place the rack in A or B position. No
preheating is necessary.
Check the weight of the meat. Place the
meat fat side up, or poultry breast side up,
on roasting grid in a shallow pan. The
melting fat will baste the meat. Select a
pan as close to the size of the meat as
possible. (The broiler pan with grid is a
good pan for this.)
Touch the BAKE pad.
To change the oven temperature during the
roasting cycle, touch the BAKE pad and set the
new temperature.
Touch the + or – pad to set the oven
temperature.
Touch the START pad.
Touch the CLEAR/OFF pad when roasting
is finished.
Aluminum Foil
You can use aluminum foil to line the broiler
pan. This makes clean-up easier when using
the pan for marinating, cooking with fruits,
cooking heavily cured meats or basting food
during cooking. Press the foil tightly around the
inside of the pan.
Before You Begin Roasting…
Roasting is really a baking procedure used for
meats. Therefore, the oven controls are set for
Baking or Timed Baking. (You may hear a slight
clicking sound, indicating the oven is working
properly.) Timed Baking will turn the oven on
and off automatically.
Most meats continue to cook slightly after
being removed from the oven. The internal
temperature will rise about 5° to 10°F during
the recommended standing time of 10 to 20
minutes. This allows roasts to firm up and
makes them easier to carve.
To compensate for this rise in temperature, you
may want to remove the roast sooner (at 5° to
10°F less than the temperature in the Roasting
Guide).
REMEMBER: Food will continue to cook in the
hot oven and therefore should be removed
when the desired internal temperature has been
reached.
Using the roasting feature.
Roasting is cooking by dry heat. Tender meat or poultry can be roasted uncovered in your oven. Roasting temperatures,
which should be low and steady, keep spattering to a minimum.
GEAppliances.com
Frozen roasts of beef, pork, lamb, etc., can be started without thawing, but allow 10 to 25 minutes per pound additional
time (10 minutes per pound for roasts under 5 pounds, more time for larger roasts).
Make sure poultry is thawed before roasting. Unthawed poultry often does not cook evenly. Some commercial frozen
poultry can be cooked successfully without thawing. Follow the directions given on the package label.

Touch the START pad.
Touch the CLEAR/OFF pad when broiling is

Use of Aluminum Foil
You can use aluminum foil to line your broiler
pan and broiler grid. However, you must mold
the foil tightly to the grid and cut slits in it just
like the grid.
Without the slits, the foil will prevent fat and
meat juices from draining into 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.
Before You Begin Broiling…
Distance from the heat source may be
changed by positioning the broiler pan and
grid on one of three rack positions in the
EURLOHUFRPSDUWPHQW³$ERWWRPRIEURLOHU
compartment), B (middle) and C (top).
If the meat has fat or gristle around the edge,
cut vertical slashes through it about 2s apart. If
desired, the fat may be trimmed, leaving a layer
about 1/8s thick.
Steaks and chops should be at least 1s thick for
best broiling results. Pan broil thinner ones.
Remove the broiler pan and grid from the
broiler compartment and place the food on the
grid.
Pull out the drawer and position the broiler pan
in the compartment placing the sump area of
the broiler pan to the front of the drawer.
Placing food closer to the flame increases the
exterior browning of food, but also increases
spattering and the possibility of fats and meat
juices igniting.
NOTE: Both the oven door and the broiler
compartment drawer must be closed
during broiling.
Turn most foods using tongs once during
broiling (the exception is thin fillets of fish; oil
one side, place that side down on the broiler
grid and cook without turning until done).
Time the foods for about one-half of the total
cooking time, turn the food, then continue to
cook to the preferred doneness.
Using the broiling feature.
Broiling is cooking food by direct heat from above the food. Your oven has a convenient compartment below the oven for
broiling. It also has a specially designed broiler pan and grid that allow dripping fat to drain away from the foods and be
kept away from the high heat of the gas flame.
Always place sump to
the front of the drawer.
NOTE:Both the oven door and the broiler
compartment drawer must be closed during
broiling.
Always use the broiler pan and grid that
comes with your oven. It is designed to
minimize smoking and spattering by trapping
the juices in the shielded lower part of the
pan.
For steaks and chops, slash fat evenly
around the outside edges of the meat. To
slash, cut crosswise through the outer fat
surface just to the edge of the meat. Use
tongs to turn the meat over to prevent
piercing the meat and losing juices.
If desired, marinate meats or chicken before
broiling. Or brush with barbecue sauce last 5
to 10 minutes only.
When arranging the food on the pan, do not
let fatty edges hang over the sides because
the dripping fat will soil the oven.
The broiler compartment does not need to
be preheated. However, for very thin foods,
or to increase browning, preheat if desired.
Use LO Broil to cook foods such as poultry
or thick pork chops evenly without over-
browning them.
Frozen steaks can be broiled by positioning

Care and cleaning.
Proper care and cleaning are important so your oven will give you efficient and satisfactory service. Follow these directions
carefully in caring for it to help assure safe and proper maintenance.
Oven Light Replacement
CAUTION: Before replacing your
oven light bulb, disconnect the electrical power
to the oven at the main fuse or circuit breaker
panel. Be sure to let the bulb cool completely.
The light bulb is located in the upper right
corner of the oven. Replace the bulb with a
40-watt appliance bulb only. Do not touch
a hot bulb with a damp cloth because the bulb
will break.
Control Panel
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
FOHDQVHUVRQWKHFRQWUROSDQHO³WKH\ZLOO
damage the finish. A 50/50 solution of vinegar
and hot water works well.
How to Remove Protective Shipping Film and Packaging Tape
Carefully grasp a corner of the protective
shipping film with your fingers and slowly peel
it from the appliance surface. Do not use any
sharp items to remove the film. Remove all of
the film before using the appliance for the first
time.
To assure no damage is done to the finish of the
product, the safest way to remove the adhesive
from packaging tape on new appliances is an
application of a household liquid dishwashing
detergent. Apply with a soft cloth and allow to
soak.
NOTE: The adhesive must be removed from all
parts. It cannot be removed if it is baked on.
Porcelain Oven Interior
With proper care, the porcelain enamel finish on

DQGLQVLGHRIWKHGRRU³ZLOOVWD\QHZORRNLQJIRU
years.
Let the oven cool before cleaning. We
recommend that you wear rubber gloves when
cleaning the oven.
Soap and water will normally do the job.
Heavy spattering or spillovers may require
cleaning with a mild abrasive cleaner. Soapy,
wet scrubbing 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 a dull spot even after
cleaning.
Household ammonia may make the cleaning
job easier. Place 1/2 cup in a shallow glass or
pottery container in a cold oven overnight. The
ammonia fumes will help loosen the burned-on
grease and food.
If necessary, you may use an oven cleaner.
Follow package directions.
Cautions about using spray-on oven cleaners:
Do not spray on the electrical controls and
switches because it could cause a short circuit
and result in sparking or fire.
Do not allow a film from the cleaner to build
XSRQWKHWHPSHUDWXUHVHQVRU³LWFRXOGFDXVH
the oven to heat improperly. (The sensor is
located at the top of the oven.) Carefully wipe
the sensor clean after each oven cleaning,
being careful not to move the sensor as a
change in its position could affect how the
oven bakes.
Do not spray any oven cleaner on the outside
of the door, handles or any exterior surface
of the oven, cabinet or painted surfaces. The
cleaner can damage these surfaces.
Oven Racks
The oven racks may be cleaned with a mild
abrasive cleanser or scrubbing pad. After
cleaning, rinse the racks with clean water and
dry with a clean cloth.

Lift-Off Oven 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.
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 and lift the
door straight up and off the hinges.
NOTES:
Be careful not to place hands between the
hinge and the oven door frame as the hinge
could snap back and pinch fingers.
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 at the same time. Then lower the door
slowly and evenly over both hinges at the same
time. If the hinges snap back against the oven
frame, pull them back out.
To clean the inside of the door:
Soap and water will normally do the job.
Heavy spattering or spillovers may require
cleaning with a mild abrasive cleaner. Soapy,
wet metal 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 a dull spot even
after cleaning.
If necessary, you may use an oven cleaner.
Follow the package directions. Do not use
oven cleaners, cleansing powders or harsh
abrasives on the outside of the door.
To clean the 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.
Broiler Drawer
To remove:
When the broiler is cool, remove the grid
and pan.
Pull the broiler drawer out until it stops,
then push it back in about 1s.
Grasp handle, lift and pull broiler drawer
out (lift the rollers located under the
drawer over the roller guides in the oven).
To replace:
Put the rollers under the broiler drawer
behind the roller guide stops in the oven.
Hold the broiler drawer in the raised
position as you slide it partway into the
oven. Then lower the drawer and push it
completely closed.

Removable Oven Bottom
The oven bottom can be removed to clean
large spills, and to enable you to reach the
oven burner.
To remove:
Slide the tab at the center front of the
oven bottom to the left.
Lift the oven bottom up and out.
To replace:
Slip the oven bottom into the oven so
the tabs in the rear of the oven bottom
fit into the slots in the oven back.
Lower the front of the oven bottom into
place and slide the front tab to the right
to lock the oven bottom into place.
7KHRYHQERWWRPKDVDSRUFHODLQHQDPHO
ILQLVK To make cleaning easier, protect the
oven bottom from excessive spillovers by
placing a cookie sheet on the rack below the
rack you are cooking on. This is particularly
important when baking a fruit pie or other
foods with a high acid content. Hot fruit fillings
or other foods that are highly acidic (such as
tomatoes, sauerkraut, and sauces with vinegar
or lemon juice) may cause pitting and damage
to the porcelain enamel surface and should be
wiped up immediately.
We don’t recommend using aluminum foil on
the oven bottom. It can affect air flow if the
holes are blocked and it can concentrate heat
at the bottom of the oven, resulting in poor
baking performance.
To clean up spillovers, use soap and water, an
abrasive cleaner or soap-filled scrubbing pad.
Rinse well.
Unlock

Oven Air Vents
Never block the vents (air openings) of the oven.
They provide the air inlet and outlet that are
necessary for the oven to operate properly with

Air openings are located under the control
panel, above the door.
Broil and Oven Burner Air Adjustment Shutters
Air adjustment shutters for the burner regulate
the flow of air to the flames.
To adjust the air shutter, remove the oven
bottom. Turn the burner full on and check the
flames. The burner flames should not flutter
or blow away from the burner. They should be
blue in color with no trace of yellow. Foreign
particles in the gas line may cause an orange
flame at first, but this will soon disappear. If the
flames are yellow or flutter, open the air shutter
more. If they blow away from the burner, close
the air shutter more.
If necessary, use a screwdriver to loosen the
air shutter screw. Then adjust the air shutter
and, when the flames are right, retighten the air
shutter screw.
To adjust the orifice hoods, check the inner
cone of the flame.
WARNING: If you attempt to
measure the inner cone of the flame, please use
caution. Burns could result.
The inner cone of the flames should be about
1/2s long. If the flames are not right, use a 1/2s
open-end wrench or adjustable joint pliers to
adjust the orifice hood.
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.
NOTE: When checking the flames, before and
after adjustments, the oven door should be
closed.
