OMPORTANT SAFETY NSTRUCTBONS o Installation of this range must conform with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSi Z223.1, latest edition. This range has been design-certified by the American Gas Association according to ANSI Z21°1, latest edition. As with any appliance using gas and generating heat, there are certain safety precautions you should follow. You will find these precautions at the beginning of the Use and Care section of this book.
BnstaHationInstructions GENERAL TOOLS YOU WiLL NEED o See Dimensions and Clearances in this section for all rough-in and spacing dimension& These dimensions must be met for safe use of your range. The location of the electrical outlet and pipe opening (see Gas Pipe and Electric Outlet Locations) may be adjusted to meet specific requirements.. • Phillips o The range may be placed with 0" clearance at the back wall and side walls of the range.
St®p I Gas Pipe and Electric Outlet Locations for Models Equipped with Sealed Burners Provide Adequate Gas Supply This area allows for flush range installation with through-the-walt connection of pipe stub/shut-off valve and rear wall I20V outlet. Your range is designed to operate at a pressure of 4" of water column on natural gas or, if designed for LP gas (propane or butane), 10" of water column.

Using Your Oven Before Using Your Oven Lighting instructions for Electric ignition iVlodels Be sure you understand how to set the control properly., Practice removing and replacing the shelves while the oven is cool_ Read the information and tips on the following pages_ Keep this book handy where you can refer to it, especially during the first weeks of using your new range° The oven burner some models).
Oven Vents the oven, pull it toward you, tilt front end upward and pull shelfa out° To remove shelf from The oven is vented through duct openings at the rear of the cooktop See Features section. Do not block these openings when cooking in the oven--it is important that the flow of hot air from the oven and fresh air to the oven burners be uninterrupted. ,The vent openings and nearby become hot. Do not touch them.
USing VOu_' Oven Oven Temperature (continued) Adjustment When cooking food for the first time in your new oven, use time given on recipes as a guide. Oven thermostats, over a period of years, may "drift" from the factory setting and the differences in timing between an old and a new oven of 5 to 10 degrees are not unusual. Your oven has been set correctly at the factory and is more likely to be accurate than the oven which it replaced.
Clock and Timer (on some models) DigF_aiClock and Timer (onsomemodels) To Change or Cancel the Timer Setting The electronic range clock and timer allow you to set the timer up to 9 hours and 45 minutes You have the choice of having the timer show the time counting down or the time of day° In either case, the timer will signal at the end of the timer period to alert you that the time is up When the timer is counting down, use the UP or DOWN pad to change the remaining time, or press the TIMER pad to cance
Baking How to Set Your Range for Baking Preheating 1. To avoid possible burns, place the shelves in the correct position before you turn the oven on. Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it. Preheat means bringing the oven up to the specified temperature before putting in the food To preheat, set the oven at the correct temperature--selecting a higher temperature does not shorten preheat time_ 2. Close the oven door.
Baking Guides Aluminum Foil When using prepared baking mixes, follow package recipe or instructions for the best baking results° Never entirely cover a shelf with a large cookie sheet or aluminum foil, This will disturb the heat circulation and results in poor baking,, A smaller sheet of foil may be used to catch a spiltover by pla_/// cing it on a lower shelf several inches below the food. Cookies When baking cookies, flat cookie sheets (without sides) produce better-looking cookies.
Roasting Roasting is cooking by dry heat.. Tender meat or pou!try can be roasted uncovered in your oven Roasting temperatures, which should be low and steady, keep spattering to a minimum. Step 4: Most meats continue to cook slightly while standing after being removed from the oven. Recommended standing time for roasts is 10 to 20 minutes,.

Care and Caear ing Proper care and cleaning are important so your range will give you efficient and satisfactory service, Follow these directions carefully in caring for it to help assure safe and proper maintenance. BE SURE ELECTRICAL POWER ED BEFORE CLEANING ANY RANGE. Sealed Burner You should clean the surface burners routinely, especially after bad spillovers, which could clog these hole& Wipe off the surface burners. If heavy spillover occurs, remove the surface burners from the range.
Burner Heads: (onsealed Dual Burners burners only) (on some models) The holes in the burners of your range, and the spark electrodes, must be kept clean at all times for proper ignition and an even, unhampered flame. Grate You should clean the burner heads routinely, especially after bad spillovers, which could clog these holes Wipe off burner heads. If heavy spillover occurs, remove burner heads from range. Drip Pan (on some models) Remove the burner grate and burner cap..
Care and Cneaning (continued) Drip Pans (onsome models ) Lift-up Cooktop Remove the grates and lift out the drip pans. Drip pans can be cleaned in dishwasher Clean the area under the cooktop often. Built-up soil, especially grease, may catch on fire, or by hand. To get rid of burned-on food, place the drip pans in a covered container (or plastic bag) with 1/4 cup ammonia to loosen the soil.
Broiler Pan and Rack Oven Air Vents After broiling, remove the broiler pan and rack from the storage drawer, oven or broiler compartment (depending on your model). Remove the rack from the pan_ Carefully pour out the grease in the pan into a proper container. Never block the vents (air openings) of the range. They provide the air inlet and outlet that are necessary for the range to operate properly with correct combustion.
Care and Cneaning Icoot nuedt Oven Door TO CLEAN THE DOOR: (Do not immerse Inside of door: The oven door is removable but it is heavy.. You may need help removing and replacing the door. door in water.) Allow to cool before cleaning, For light soil, wipe frequently with mild soap and water (especially after cooking meat). This will prolong the time between major cleaning° Rinse thoroughly,, NOTE: Soap left on the oven door causes additional stains when the oven is reheated.
Control Panel and Knobs Oven Shelves 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.
