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 cancer, birth defects or other  
reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn  
customers of potential exposure to such substances.  
by a qualified service technician in accordance  
with the manufacturer’s instructions and all codes  
and requirements of the authority having  
jurisdiction. Failure to follow these instructions  
could result in serious injury or property damage.  
The qualified agency performing this work  
assumes responsibility for the conversion.  
Gas appliances can cause minor exposure  
to four of these substances, namely benzene,  
carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused  
primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural  
gas or LP fuels. Properly adjusted burners,  
indicated by a bluish rather than a yellow flame,  
will minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure  
to these substances can be minimized further by  
venting with an open window or using a  
Using Your Oven

your oven unless it is specifically recommended  
in this guide. All other servicing should be  
referred to a qualified technician.  
• 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.  
• Be sure all packaging materials are removed  
from the oven before operating it, to prevent  
fire or smoke damage should the packaging  
material ignite.  
• For your safety, never use your appliance for  
warming or heating the room.

• Use only dry pot holders—moist or  
damp pot holders on hot surfaces may  
result in burns from steam. Do not let  
• Stand away from the oven when opening the  
oven door. The hot air or steam that escapes can  
cause burns to hands, face and/or eyes.  
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.  
• Do not heat unopened food containers.  
Pressure could build up and the container  
could burst, causing an injury.  
• Always keep dish towels, dish cloths, pot  
holders and other linens a safe distance from  
your oven.  
• Keep the oven vent ducts unobstructed.  
• Keep the oven free from grease  
build-up.  
• Always keep wooden and plastic utensils  
and canned food a safe distance away from  
your oven.  
• Place the oven shelf in the desired position  
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 the  
hot surfaces of the door or the oven walls.  
• Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils  
or food in the oven when not in use.  
• DO NOT STORE OR USE COMBUSTIBLE  
MATERIALS, GASOLINE OR OTHER  
FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND LIQUIDS  
IN THE VICINITY OF THIS OR ANY  
OTHER APPLIANCE.  
• When using cooking or roasting bags in the  
oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.  
• Do not use your oven to dry newspapers.  
If overheated, they can catch fire.  
• Do not let cooking grease or other flammable  
materials accumulate in or near the oven.  
• Do not use aluminum foil anywhere in the oven  
except as described in this guide. Misuse could  
result in a fire hazard or damage to the oven.  
• Do not use the oven as a storage area. Items  
stored in an oven can ignite.  
• Use only glass cookware that is recommended  
• 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.  
for use in gas ovens.  
• After broiling, always take the broiler pan out of  
the broiler compartment and clean it. Leftover  
grease in the broiler pan can catch fire next time  
you use the pan.  
Potentially hot surfaces include the oven vent  
openings, surfaces near the openings and crevices  
around the door.  
• If you should have a grease fire in the broiler  
pan, turn the oven off and keep the oven and  
broiler drawer door closed to contain the fire  
until it burns out.  
Remember: The inside surfaces of an oven may  
be hot when the door is opened.  
• When broiling, if meat is too close to the  
flame, the fat may ignite. Trim excess fat  
to prevent excessive flare-ups.  
• Keep the oven clean and free of accumulations  
of grease or spillovers, which may ignite.  
• Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings  
in or near your oven.  
• When cooking pork, follow the directions  
exactly and always cook the meat to an internal  
temperature of at least 170°F. This assures that,  
in the remote possibility that trichina may be  
present in the meat, it will be killed and meat  
will be safe to eat.

USING YOUR OVEN  
Before Using Your Oven  
1. Look at the controls. Be sure you understand  
NOTE:  
how to set them properly.  
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.  
2. Check the oven interior. Look at the shelves.  
Take a practice run at removing and replacing  
them properly to give sure, sturdy support.  
• 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.  
3. Read over the information and tips that follow.  
4. Keep this guide handy so you can refer to it,  
especially during the first weeks of using your  
new oven.  
Automatic Ignition  
Oven Vent  
The oven burner is lit by electric ignition.  
When the oven is on, heated air moves through  
a vent behind the grille. See the Features of Your  
Oven section.  
To light the burner, press the pad for the  
desired function and press the TEMP + or –  
TEMP  
pads until the desired temperature is displayed.  
The vent area could get hot during oven use.  
The burner should ignite within 60 seconds.  
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.  
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  
The oven burner will not light in the event of an electrical power outage.  
Do not attempt to light it manually with a match.  
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 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.  
To remove a shelf from the oven, pull the shelf  
toward you, tilt the front end upward and pull the  
shelf out.

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.  
BAKING  
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.

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.  
Baking Pans

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.  
Pans should not touch each other or the walls of the

oven. Allow 1- to 1 ⁄ -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.  
• 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.

BAKING  
(continued)  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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 cooking 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  
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).  
poultry can be roasted uncovered in your oven.  
Roasting temperatures, which should be low and  
steady, keep spattering to a minimum.  
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.  
Remember that food will continue to cook in the hot  
oven and therefore should be removed when the  
desired internal temperature has been reached.

Use of Aluminum Foil  
You can use aluminum foil to line the broiler pan.  
This makes clean-up easier when using the pan for

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?  
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.  
ROASTING GUIDE  
Frozen Roasts  
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.

BROILING  
Broiling is cooking food by direct heat from above  
Remove the broiler pan and grid from the broiler  
compartment and place the food on the grid.  
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.  
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.  
Distance from the heat source may be changed by  
positioning the broiler pan and grid on one of three  
shelf positions in the broiler compartment—A (bottom  
of broiler compartment), B (middle) and C (top).  
If the meat has fat or gristle around the edge, cut  
vertical slashes through it about 2 inches apart.  
If desired, the fat may be trimmed, leaving a layer  
about 1/8-inch thick.  
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.  
Steaks and chops should be at least 1-inch thick for  
best broiling results. Pan broil thinner ones.

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.  
Always place  
sump to the  
front of the  
drawer.  
Questions and Answers  
Q. Why are my meats not turning out as brown as  
they should?  
Q. When broiling, is it necessary to always use a  
grid in the pan?  
A. Check to see if you are using the recommended  
shelf position. Broil for the longest period of time  
indicated in the Broiling Guide. Turn the food only  
once during broiling.  
A. Yes. Using the grid suspends the meat over the pan.  
As the meat cooks, the juices fall into the pan, thus  
keeping the meat drier. Juices are protected by the  
grid 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. Piercing the  
meat with a fork allows juices to escape. Turn the  
meat with tongs instead of a fork.

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.  
• The broiler compartment does not need to be  
preheated. However, for very thin foods, or to  
increase browning, preheat if desired.  
• 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.  
• Use LO Broil to cook foods such as poultry or thick  
pork chops evenly without over-browning them.

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.  
Porcelain Oven Interior  
With proper care, the  
If necessary, you may use an oven cleaner.  
porcelain enamel finish on  
the inside of the oven—top,  
bottom, sides, back and  
inside of the door— will stay  
new-looking for years.  
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.  
Let the oven cool before  
cleaning. We recommend  
that you wear rubber gloves  
when cleaning the oven.  
• Do not allow a film from the cleaner to build up  
on the temperature sensor—it could cause 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.  
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.  
• 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.  
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.

abrasive cleanser or steel wool. After cleaning,  
rinse the shelves with clean water and dry with a  
clean cloth.

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.  
NOTE:  
Outside of door:  
• Be careful not to place hands between the hinge  
and the oven door frame as the hinge could snap  
back and pinch fingers.  
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.  
• 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.  
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.  
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.  
If the hinges snap back against the oven frame, pull  
them back out.

CARE AND CLEANING  
(continued)  
Removable Oven Bottom  
The oven bottom can be removed to clean large spills,  
and to enable you to reach the oven burner.  
The oven bottom has a porcelain enamel finish.  
To make cleaning easier, protect the oven bottom  
from excessive spillovers. This is particularly  
important when baking a fruit pie or other foods with  
high acid content. Hot fruit fillings or foods that are  
acidic (such as milk, tomatoes or sauerkraut, and  
sauces with vinegar or lemon juice) may cause pitting  
and damage to the porcelain enamel surface.  
Unlock  
Lock  
To protect the oven bottom surface, place a piece  
of aluminum foil slightly larger than the baking dish  
or a small cookie sheet on a lower shelf or under the  
baking dish to catch any spillovers. It should not  
completely cover the shelf as this would cause uneven  
heat in the oven. Aluminum foil should not be placed  
on the oven bottom.  
TO REMOVE:  
1. Slide the tab at the center front of the oven bottom  
to the left.  
2. Lift the oven bottom up and out.  
TO REPLACE:  
1. 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.  
If a spillover does occur on the oven bottom,  
allow the oven to cool first. You can clean the oven  
bottom with soap and water, a mild abrasive cleanser  
or soap-filled abrasive pads. Rinse well.  
2. Lower the front of the oven bottom into place and  
slide the front tab to the right to lock the oven  
bottom into place.  
MINOR ADJUSTMENTS YOU CAN MAKE  
Broil and Oven Burner Air Adjustment Shutters  
Air adjustment shutters for the burner regulate the  
flow of air to the flames.  
WARNING: If you attempt to measure the  
inner cone of the flame, please use caution.  
Burns could result.  
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.  
Inner cone  
of flame  
The inner cone of the  
flames should be about  
1/2long. If the flames  
are not right, use a 1/2″  
open-end wrench or  
1/2  
Burner  
adjustable joint pliers to  
adjust the orifice hood.  
To shorten the cones,  
tighten the orifice  
hood by turning in  
the “L.P.” direction.  
To lengthen the  
cones, loosen the  
orifice hood by

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.

direction.  
To adjust the orifice  
hoods, check the

flame.  
When checking the flames, before and after  
adjustments, the oven door should be closed.
