IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.  
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.  
WARNING!  
For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or explosion,  
electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury or loss of life.  
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE  
SafeyIructions  
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 customers of potential exposure to such substances.  
Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon  
monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas or  
LP fuels. Properly adjusted burners, indicated by a bluish rather than a yellow flame, will minimize  
incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized by venting with an open  
window or using a ventilation fan or hood.  
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS  
Have the installer show you the location of the oven gas shut-off valve and how to shut it off if necessary.  
Have your oven installed and properly  
grounded by a qualified installer, in  
accordance with the Installation Instructions.  
Any adjustment and service should be  
performed only by qualified gas oven  
installers or service technicians.  
Be sure your oven is correctly adjusted by a  
qualified service technician or installer for  
the type of gas (natural or LP) that is to be  
used. Your oven can be converted for use  
with either type of gas. See the Installation  
Instructions.  
OpeagIructions  
Do not attempt to repair or replace any  
part of your oven unless it is specifically  
recommended in this manual. All other  
service should be referred to a qualified  
technician.  
Be sure all packaging materials are removed  
from the oven before operating it to prevent  
fire or smoke damage should the packaging  
material ignite.  
WARNING: These adjustments must  
be made by a qualified service technician in  
accordance with the manufacturer’s  
instructions and all codes and requirements  
of the authority having jurisdiction. Failure  
to follow these instructions could result in  
serious injury or property damage. The  
qualified agency performing this work  
assumes responsibility for the conversion.

Do not touch 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.  
Potentially hot surfaces include the oven vent  
openings, surfaces near the opening and  
crevices around the door.  
Be sure the oven is securely installed in a  
cabinet that is firmly attached to the house  
structure. Never allow anyone to climb, sit,  
stand or hang on the oven door.  
Do not leave children alone or unattended  
where an oven is hot or in operation. They  
could be seriously burned.  
Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang  
on the oven door or storage drawer. They  
could damage the oven.  
Remember: The inside surfaces of an oven may  
be hot when the door is opened.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS  
Do not use water on grease fires. Smother fire  
or flame or use a multi-purpose dry chemical  
or foam-type fire extinguisher.  
Flame in the oven can be smothered  
completely by closing the oven door and  
turning the oven off or by using a multi-  
purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire  
extinguisher.  
Use only dry pot holders—moist or damp pot  
holders on hot surfaces may result in burns  
from steam. Do not let pot holders come  
near open flames when lifting cookware. Do  
not use a towel or other bulky cloth. Such  
cloths can catch fire on a hot burner.  
Always keep dish towels, dish cloths, pot  
holders and other linens a safe distance from  
your oven.  
CAUTION: Items of interest to  
children should not be stored in cabinets  
above an oven—children climbing on the  
oven to reach items could be seriously  
injured.  
For your safety, never use your appliance  
for warming or heating the room.  
Never wear loose fitting or hanging garments  
while using the appliance. Be careful when  
reaching for items stored in cabinets over the  
oven. Flammable material could be ignited if  
brought in contact with flame or hot oven  
surfaces and may cause severe burns.  
OpeagIructions  
Do not store flammable materials in the oven  
or storage drawer.  
Do not store or use combustible materials,  
gasoline or other flammable vapors and  
liquids in the vicinity of this or any other  
appliance.  
Do not let cooking grease or other  
flammable materials accumulate in or near  
the oven.  
Always keep wooden and plastic utensils and  
canned food a safe distance away from your  
oven.  
Do not leave paper products, cooking  
utensils or food in the oven when not in use.

rubleshotingT  
COOK MEAT AND POULTRY THOROUGHLY…  
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 usually protects against foodborne illness.  
ips  
OVEN  
Stand away from the oven when opening the door of a hot oven. The hot air and steam that escape can  
cause burns to hands, face and eyes.  
Do not use the oven for a storage area. Items  
stored in the oven can ignite.  
Never use aluminum foil to line the oven  
bottom. Improper use of foil could start a fire.  
Keep the oven vent ducts unobstructed.  
Keep the oven free from grease buildup.  
Place the oven shelves in the desired position  
Do not use aluminum foil anywhere in the  
oven except as described in this manual.  
Misuse could result in a fire hazard or  
damage to the oven.  
When using cooking or roasting bags in the  
oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.

while the oven is cool.  
Pulling out the shelf to the stop-lock is a  
convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also  
a precaution against burns from touching  
hot surfaces of the door or oven walls.  
Do not use your oven to dry newspapers.  
If overheated, they can catch fire.  
Use only glass cookware that is  
recommended for use in gas ovens.

Using the oven.  
Before you begin…  
Look at the controls. Be sure you  
understand how to set them properly.  
NOTES:  
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. To speed the  
process, set a Self-Clean cycle for 4 hours.  
See the Using the Self-Cleaning Oven  
section.  
Check the oven interior. Look at  
the shelves. Take a practice run at  
removing and replacing them properly  
to give sure, sturdy support.  
SafeyIructions  
Read over the information and tips  
that follow.  
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.  
Keep this guide handy so you can refer  
to it, especially during the first weeks of  
using your new oven.  
Automatic Ignition  
The oven burner is lit by electric ignition.  
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.  
To light the burner, do the following:  
Touch the pad for the desired  
function. Then touch the TEMP +/–  
pads until the desired temperature is  
displayed. The burner should ignite  
within 60 seconds.  
OpeagIructions  
Oven Vent  
When the oven is on, heated air moves  
through a vent behind the grille.  
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 Shelves  
Bump  
The shelves are designed with stop-locks  
so that, when placed correctly on the shelf  
supports, they will stop before coming  
completely out of the oven and will not tilt  
when you are removing food from them or  
placing food on them.  
To remove a shelf from the oven, pull the  
shelf toward you, tilt the front end upward  
and pull the shelf out.  
To replace, place the shelf on the shelf  
support with the stop-locks (curved  
extension of the shelf) facing up and  
toward the rear of the oven. Tilt up the  
front and push the shelf toward the back  
of the oven until it goes past the bump on  
the shelf support. Then lower the front of  
the shelf and push it all the way back.  
When placing cookware on a shelf, pull the  
shelf out to the bump on the shelf support.  
Place the cookware on the shelf, then slide  
the shelf back into the oven. This will  
eliminate reaching into the hot oven.

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 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.

Aluminum Foil  
Never entirely cover a shelf with aluminum  
foil. This will disturb the heat circulation  
and result in poor baking. A smaller sheet  
of foil may be used to catch a spillover by  
placing it on a lower shelf several inches  
below the food.

Baking Pans  
Pan Placement  
Use the proper baking pan. The type of  
finish on the pan determines the amount  
of browning that will occur.  
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.  
Dark, rough or dull pans absorb heat  
resulting in a browner, crisper crust.  
Use this type for pies.  
Pans should not touch each other or the  
walls of the oven. Allow 1- to 112-inch space  
between pans as well as from the back of the  
oven, the door and the sides. If you need to  
use two shelves, stagger the pans so one is  
not directly above the other.  
Shiny, bright and smooth pans reflect  
heat, resulting in a lighter, more delicate  
browning. Cakes and cookies require this  
type of pan.  
OpeagIructions  
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.  
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 shelf with a large  
cookie sheet.  
T
rubleshotingT  
For best results during baking, use only  
one cookie sheet in the oven at a time.  
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.

The type of margarine will affect baking performance!  
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.

Using the roasting feature.  
SafeyIructions  
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.  
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.  
To compensate for this rise in temperature,  
you may want to remove the roast sooner (at  
 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

Questions and Answers  
Q. Is it necessary to check for doneness  
with a meat thermometer?  
Q. Do I need to preheat my oven each  
time I cook a roast or poultry?  
A. Checking the finished internal  
temperature at the completion of  
cooking time is recommended.  
Temperatures are shown in the  
Roasting Guide. For roasts over 8 lbs.  
check with thermometer at half-hour  
intervals after half the cooking time  
has passed.  
A. It is not necessary to preheat your  
oven.  
Q. When buying a roast, are there any  
special tips that would help me cook it  
more evenly?  
SafeyIructions  
A. Yes. Buy a roast as even in thickness as  
possible, or buy rolled roasts.  
Q. Can I seal the sides of my foil “tent”  
when roasting a turkey?  
Q. Why is my roast crumbling when I try  
to carve it?  
A. Sealing the foil will steam the meat.  
Leaving it unsealed allows the air to  
circulate and brown the meat.  
A. Roasts are easier to slice if allowed to  
cool 10 to 20 minutes after removing  
them from the oven. Be sure to cut  
across the grain of the meat.  
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.

Using the self-cleaning oven.  
After a Clean Cycle  
You may notice some white ash in the oven.  
Wipe it up with a damp cloth after the oven  
cools.  
NOTES:  
You cannot set the oven for cooking until  
the oven is cool enough for the door to  
unlock.  
If white spots remain, remove them with a soap-  
filled steel-wool pad and rinse thoroughly with a  
vinegar and water mixture.  
While the oven is self-cleaning, you  
can touch the CLOCK pad to display  
the time of day. To return to the  
clean countdown, touch the COOKING

These deposits are usually a salt residue that  
cannot be removed by the clean cycle.  
If the oven is not clean after one clean cycle,  
repeat the cycle.  
If you have left the shelves in the oven  
during the self-clean cycle and they  
become hard to slide, apply a small  
amount of vegetable oil or cooking oil to  
a paper towel and wipe the edges of the  
oven shelves with the paper towel.  
Questions and Answers  
Q. If my oven clock is not set to the  
correct time of day, can I still  
self-clean my oven?  
Q. Should there be any odor during the  
cleaning?  
OpeagIructions  
A. Yes, there will be an odor during the  
first few cleanings. Failure to wipe out  
excessive soil might also cause a  
strong odor when cleaning.  
A. If the clock is not set to the correct  
time of day you will not be able to set a  
delay-clean cycle to end at a specific  
time.  
Q. What causes the hair-like lines on the  
enameled surface of my oven?  
Q. Can I use commercial oven cleaners  
on any part of my self-cleaning oven?  
ips  
A. This is a normal condition, resulting  
from heating and cooling during  
cleaning. These lines do not affect  
how your oven performs.  
A. No cleaners or coatings should be  
used around any part of this oven.  
If you do use them and do not  
thoroughly rinse the oven with water,  
wiping it absolutely clean afterwards,  
the residue can scar the oven surface  
and damage metal parts the next time  
the oven is automatically cleaned.  
Q. Why do I have ash left in my oven  
after cleaning?  
A. Some types of soil will leave a deposit  
which is ash. It can be removed with a  
damp sponge or cloth.  
rubleshotingT  
T
Q. What should I do if excessive smoking  
occurs during cleaning?  
Q. My oven shelves do not slide easily.  
What is the matter?  
A. This is caused by excessive soil. Turn  
the oven off. Open the windows to rid  
the room of smoke. Wait until the  
oven has cooled and the words  
“LOCKED DOOR” are off in the  
display. Wipe up the excess soil and  
reset the clean cycle.  
A. If you have left the oven shelves in  
the oven during many cleanings, the  
shelves will lose their luster and  
become hard to slide. To make  
shelves slide more easily wipe the shelf  
supports with cooking oil.  
Q. I have left my oven shelves in the oven  
during the self-clean cycle and they  
have become gray. Is this normal?  
Q. Is the “crackling” or “popping” sound  
I hear during cleaning normal?  
A. Yes. This is the sound of the metal  
heating and cooling during both the  
cooking and cleaning functions.  
A. Yes. After the self-clean cycle, the  
shelves will lose some luster and  
discolor to a deep gray color.

drawer.  
To remove:  
Pull the drawer straight out and lift over the  
guide stops.  
To replace:  
Lift over the guide stops and slide the  
drawer into place.  
Do not overload the storage drawer. If the  
drawer is too heavy, it may slip off the track

Oven Air Vents  
Never block the vents (air openings) of the

that are necessary for the oven to operate  
properly with correct combustion.  
Air openings are located under the control  
panel, above the door.

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  
light cover and bulb cool completely.  
Do not touch hot bulb with a wet cloth.  
Replace bulb with a 40-watt household  
appliance bulb.  
To replace cover:  
CustomSrvice  
The oven light bulb is covered with a  
removable glass cover that is held in place  
with a bail-shaped wire. Remove the oven  
door, if desired, to reach the cover easily.  
Place it into the groove of the light  
receptacle. Pull the wire forward to the  
center of the cover until it snaps into  
place. When in place, the wire holds  
the cover firmly. Be certain the wire is  
in the depression in the center of the  
cover.

To remove:  
Hold a hand under the cover so it  
doesn’t fall when released. With fingers  
of the same hand, firmly push back the  
wire cover holder. Lift off the cover.  
Connect electrical power to the oven.  
Do not remove any screws to remove

Removable Oven Bottom  
The oven bottom can be removed to clean large  
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. 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

Oven bottom must be replaced before using  
the self-clean cycle.  
Unlock

To remove:  
SafeyIructions  
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.  
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.  
Lower the front of the oven bottom  
into place and slide the front tab to  
the right to lock the oven bottom  
into place.  
To clean up spillovers, use soap and water,  
an abrasive cleaner or soap-filled steel-wool  
pad. Rinse well to remove any soap before  
self-cleaning.  
OpeagIructions  
Oven Shelves  
Clean the shelves with an abrasive cleanser  
or steel wool. After cleaning, rinse the  
shelves with clean water and dry with a  
clean cloth.  
ips  
NOTE: Take the shelves out of the oven before you  
begin the self-clean cycle.  
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  
cleaners on the control panel—they will  
damage the finish. A 50/50 solution of  
vinegar and hot water works well.

Lift-Off Oven Door  
The oven door is removable, but it is heavy. You may To clean the inside of the door:  
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.  
Do not allow excess water to run into any  
holes or slots in the door.  
Because the area inside the gasket is  
cleaned during the self clean cycle, you  
do not need to clean this by hand. Any  
soap left on the liner causes additional  
stains when the oven is heated.  
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:  
The area outside the gasket can be  
cleaned with a soap-filled steel-wool or  
plastic pad.  
Be careful not to place hands between the hinge  
and the oven door frame as the hinge could snap  
back and pinch fingers.  
Lift the door straight up and off the  
hinges.  
OpeagIructions  
To clean the outside of the door:  
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.  
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.  
To replace the door, make sure the hinges  
are in the special stop position. Position the  
slots in the bottom of the door squarely  
over the hinges. Then lower the door slowly  
and evenly over both hinges at the same  
time. If the hinges snap back against the  
oven frame, pull them back out.  
The gasket is designed with a gap  
at the bottom to allow for proper air  
circulation.  
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 rub or clean the door  
gasket—it has an extremely low  
resistance to abrasion.  
If you notice the gasket becoming  
worn, frayed or damaged in any  
way or if it has become displaced  
on the door, you should have it  
replaced.  
Do not use oven cleaners, cleansing  
powders or harsh abrasives on the outside  
of the door.
