READ ALL IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS AND ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE APPLIANCE. Remove all tape and packaging wrap before using the oven. If any glue remains, touch the residue with the sticky side of the tape already removed, or use a cloth soaked with rubbing alcohol. Use caution because rubbing alcohol is flammable. Rinse with warm water and wipe dry. Destroy the carton and plastic bags after the range is unpacked. Children should not use packaging material for play.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS, Continued • Do not allow children to climb or play around the range. The weight of a child on an open oven door may cause the range to tip, resulting in serious burns or other injury. • USER SERVICING: Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless specifically recommended in this owner’s guide. All other servicing should be done only by a qualified technician. This will reduce the risk of personal injury and damage to the range.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS, Continued • Use only dry potholders. Wet or damp potholders on hot surfaces could result in burns from steam. Do not let the potholder touch hot heating areas. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth instead of a potholder. • Use proper flame size. Adjust flame size so it does not extend beyond the edge of the utensil. The use of undersized utensils will expose a portion of the burner flame and may result in severe burns or direct contact and ignition of clothing.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS, Continued • Do not place hands between the spring tension hinge and the oven door frame when you are removing the oven door. You could pinch your fingers. • Do not use the broiler pan without its insert. The broiler pan and its insert allow dripping fat or grease to drain and be kept away from the high heat of the broiler. Do not cover the insert with foil. Exposed fat or grease could ignite. • Do not touch a hot oven light bulb with a damp cloth.
• It’s good practice for each household to have an appropriate fire extinguisher for use in the event of a house fire. • Disconnect the range from electrical supply before attempting to service or move it. NOTE: The instructions appearing in this owner’s guide are not meant to cover every possible condition and situation that may occur. Common sense and caution must be practiced when operating and maintaining any appliance.

(The serial plate is located below the cooktop.) ANY OPENINGS IN THE WALL BEHIND THE UNIT AND IN THE FLOOR UNDER THE UNIT MUST BE SEALED. Note. Due to potential hazards it is recommended that storage cabinets not be installed above the cooking surface.
ALIGNMENTS AND ADJUSTMENTS Installation It is the responsibility of the installer to make certain that the range is properly adjusted at the time of installation. Situations caused by improper adjustments or improper installation are not covered under the warranty. Any expenses incurred due to such situations will not be paid by the manufacturer of the appliance. Gas Range Conversion and Adjustment Guide The range will either be set for use with Liquefied Petroleum (LP) or Natural Gas.
To Convert and/or Adjust 1. Convertible Pressure Regulator The inlet pressure of the gas supply shall be in accordance with the nominal inlet pressure of the regulator used on the range or 1/2 psig maximum. The range should be tested by pressurizing the regulator with an inlet pressure at least 1 inch water column above the manufacturer's specified manifold pressure shown on the serial plate. The range will be equipped with one of the two types of regulators shown.
2. Top Pilots (Gas) The top burner pilots on floor mounted ranges can be adjusted by a screw located on the back of the thermostat at the pilot filter. Adjust the pilot flame until there is only a tip of yellow on the flame. Pilots are constant burning. DO NO BLOW OUT FLAME WITHOUT TURNING OFF PILOT ADJUSTMENT SCREW. To To Ov en Top pilots adjustment screw controls the rate of gas to the top burner pilots.
ALIGNMENTS AND ADJUSTMENT, Continued ! WARNING Keep appliance area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids. Do not obstruct the flow of air that is necessary for combustion and ventilation. 3. Top Burner Valves Adjusted by the opening or tightening of the orifice hood which is located on the valve where it attaches to the top burner. When set for LP gas the orifice hoods are screwed snugly on the valves.
ALIGNMENTS AND ADJUSTMENTS, Continued If the burner is too high (make sure burner is cool), push it down. Supply enough force with the palm of your hand to accomplish this adjustment. To raise, pull up on the burner support at the center of the support. 4. Oven Control (Thermostat) The oven pilot gas selector screw is located on this control. To change oven pilot gas setting: (A) Remove oven control knob by pulling straight out.
ALIGNMENTS AND ADJUSTMENTS, Continued Ovens with Pilotless Electric Spark Ignition: Free-Standing Ranges Ranges equipped with the spark ignition system will have an oven pilot ignitor that has a "flame sensing" feature that automatically stops the sparking once the oven pilot gas is ignited. Turning the oven control dial on will activate an electronic module and send pulses (sparks) to all electrodes (including the top burner electrodes) at a rate of approximately 1 1/2 pulses (sparks) per second.
ALIGNMENTS AND ADJUSTMENTS, Continued ! CAUTION IF THE OVEN BURNER DOES NOT IGNITE WITHIN 20 TO 60 SECONDS AFTER THE PILOT IS LIGHTED, TURN THE OVEN TEMPERATURE CONTROL TO OFF AND WAIT FOR POWER TO BE RESTORED. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO RELIGHT THE PILOT AGAIN. If the oven does not function properly when the power is restored, or at any other time, call a serviceman to determine the source of the problem.

ALIGNMENTS AND ADJUSTMENTS, Continued Ovens with Pilotless Electric Ignition: Glow Bar Ignition System (-7 Models) System Operation The glow-bar ignition system consists of three main components: 1. The thermostat (or range control). 2. The glow-bar ignitor. 3. The oven gas valve (also called the safety valve). The thermostat, ignitor and gas valve are wired in series.
OPERATION OF RANGE Using Your Range The range may have only part of the features described within this manual. If your range has some features which are not covered in this manual, these features will be covered in other enclosed literature. Top Burner Operation Note: When boiling food, the highest temperature that can be reached is the boiling point. When the liquid starts to boil, decrease the size of the flame until you reach the minimum flame that will hold the boil. This will save gas.
Baking When baking follow the recipe instructions. Use correct ingredients, measure them carefully, and use the correct type and size utensil suggested in the recipe. Remember to preheat properly. Avoid frequent opening of the oven door during preheating and baking. When baking cakes in glass baking dishes, lower the oven temperature 25ºF to prevent browning of the bottom and sides before the top becomes brown.
To protect the oven bottom surface, place a piece of aluminum foil slightly larger than the baking dish on the rack below to catch any boilovers. It should not completely cover the rack as this would cause uneven heat in the oven. Aluminum foil should not be placed on the oven bottom. If a spillover does occur on the oven bottom, allow the oven to cool first. You can clean the bottom with soap and water, a mild abrasive cleanser, soap-filler abrasive pads or an oven cleaner following package directions.
OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT Continuous Cleaning Feature If your oven has the continuous cleaning feature, it will have a dull gray finish with white speckles that has been blended with a special catalytic material. (If the oven has a glossy finish, it is standard porcelain enamel without the continuous cleaning feature.) Before Using Your Oven–Read These Instructions Carefully. Using The Continuous Cleaning Oven The catalytic finish will keep your oven presentably clean with some effort on your part.
OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT, Continued Backguard and Control Panel Features ! WARNING Electrical Grounding Instructions: This appliance, when equipped with electrical equipment, has a three-prong grounding plug for your protection and should be plugged directly into a properly grounded receptable. Do not cut or remove ground prong. The backguard equipment is optional, depending on model selection. The range you have purchased may or may not be equipped with the features that are illustrated in this section.
CLEANING THE RANGE Always keep cleaning materials and chemicals in a safe place and away from children. Know what you are using. Make sure all parts of the range are COOL before cleaning. Be sure to replace the parts correctly. Knobs Pull forward on the knobs to remove them. Wash in a water solution with a mild detergent mix. Do not use an abrasive cleaner or any abrasive action. Abrasive action will scratch away the knob markings.
CLEANING THE RANGE, Continued Range tops finished in brushed chrome should be wiped clean of spatters or soiling after each use. Clean with a paper towel or a damp cloth. For heavy spatters, use a mild detergent and water. Wipe dry with a soft cloth. A light coat of oil or thin cooking oil should be applied periodically to the chrome top surface and underside. This will help prevent moisture from penetrating the chrome surface.
CLEANING THE RANGE, Continued prevent this, open the oven door for the first few seconds of initial oven heat-up. This will allow the moist air within the oven to escape without the forming of visible moisture on the range. The amount of moisture will depend upon the humidity of the air and water content of the food being cooked. Fogging and even dripping water will usually occur in geographic locations of high humidity.
