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: 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.

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
ventilation fan or hood.

times you turn the 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 a minimum of hours.
See the Operating the Self-Cleaning Oven section.
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
Power Outage
The oven burner will not light in the event of an
electrical power outage. Do not attempt to light
manually with a match.
The oven burner is lighted by electric ignition.
To light the burner, press the pad for the desired
function and press the INCREASE or DECREASE
pad 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.
Oven Light
The oven light comes on automatically when the oven door is opened. Use the
switch on the control panel to turn the light on and off when the door is closed.
Oven Vent
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.
When the oven is on, heated air moves through a vent
behind the grille. See the Features of Your Oven
section.
NOTE: A 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.
The vent area could get hot during oven use.
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 placing food on them.
To remove a shelf from
the oven, pull it toward you,
tilt the front end upward
and pull the shelf out.

Preheating
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.
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
selecting a higher temperature does not shorten
preheat time.
Pan Placement
Baking Pans
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.
Use the proper baking pan. The type of finish on the
pan determines the amount of browning that will occur,
● Dark, rough or
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
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.
● Glass baking dishes also absorb heat. When baking
in glass baking dishes, the temperature may need to
be reduced by

Cookies
When

darker edges and pale or light browning may occur.
Do not use a cookie sheet so large that it touches the

shelf’ with a large cookie sheet.
For best results, use only one cookie sheet in the oven
at a time.
Pies
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
recommends will usually be crisper, thinner and drier
than it should be. baked in a pan smaller than
recommended, it may be undercooked and batter may
overflow. Check the recipe make sure the pan size
used is the one recommended.
For best results, bake pies in dark, rough or dull pans
to produce a browner, crisper crust. Frozen pies in f-oil
pans should be placed on an
cookie sheet
since the shiny foil pan reflects heat away
the pie crust; the cookie sheet helps retain it.

BROILING
Turn the food only once during broiling. Time the
foods for the first side according to the Broiling Guide.
Broiling is cooking food by direct heat from above
the food. Most fish and tender cuts of meat can be
broiled. Follow these directions to keep spattering
and smoking to a minimum.
Turn the food, then use the times given for the second
side as a guide to the
doneness.

about
inch thick.
2. Place the meat on the broiler rack in the broiler pan.
Always use the rack so the fat drips into the broiler
pan; otherwise the juices may become hot enough
to catch on fire.
To test if your broiler is working properly: Cover the
entire broiler pan rack with bread. Place the broiler pan
on the third shelf from the bottom. Broil until the bread
is golden brown. If you have browning on both sides
of the pan, your broiler is working properly. If toast
browns only on one side of the pan, call for service.
3. Position a shelf on the recommended shelf position
suggested in the Broiling Guide.
4. Close the oven door.
5. press the BROIL pad.
NOTE: A 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.
BROIL
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 juices from draining
to the broiler pan. The juices could become hot enough to catch on fire.
\’
If you
not cut the slits, you are frying, not broiling.
Questions and Answers
Q. When broiling, is it necessary to always
use a rack in the pan?
Q. Are there blue flames on both sides of the
broil burner?
A. Yes. Using the rack suspends the meat over the
pan. As the meat cooks, the juices fall into the pan,
keeping meat drier. Juices are protected by the
rack and stay cooler, thus preventing excessive
spatter and smoking.
A. Yes, but the bright orange glow of the burner
ignite may make the flame difficult to see. If you
cannot see the
on both sides and feel your
broil burner is not functioning properly, try the
“toast test”.
Q. Do I need to grease my broiler rack to prevent
meat from sticking?
Q. Should I salt the meat before broiling?
A. No. Salt draws out the juices and allows them to
Always salt after cooking. Turn the
A. No. The broiler rack is designed to reflect broiler
heat, thus keeping the surface cool enough to

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.
The oven bottom can be removed to clean large
spills, and to enable you to reach the oven burner.
Oven bottom must be replaced before using the
self-clean cycle.
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.

MINOR ADJUSTMENTS YOU CAN MAKE
Adjusting Orifice Hoods
Check the inner cones of the flames. The inner
cone of the flames should be about 1/2” long. If the
flames are not right, use a l/2° open-end wrench or
adjustable joint pliers to adjust the orifice hood.
WARNING: If you attempt to measure the
inner cone of the flame, please use caution.
Burns could result.
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.
