Important Safety Instructions Continued Insta or ocate the range ony in accordance with the provided Instaation Instructions. It is recommended that the range be instaed by a quaified instaer. The range must be propery connected to the proper gas suppy and checked for eaks. The range must aso be propery connected to eectrica suppy and grounded. md8dd To reduce the risk of tipping of the appiance, the appiance must be secured by propery instaed antitip bracket(s). To check if the bracket(s) is instaed propery, remove the storage drawer (see page 15) and verify that the anti-tip bracket(s) is engaged. Gas fues and combustion can resut in potentia exposure to chemicas known to cause cancer or reproductive harm. For exampe, benzene is a chemica which is a part of the gas suppied to the range. It is consumed in the fame during combustion. However, exposure to a sma amount of benzene is possibe if a gas eak occurs. Formadehyde, carbon monoxide and soot are by-products of incompete combustion. Propery adjusted burners with a buish rather than a yeow fame wi minimize incompete combustion. Do not operate the range if it is not working propery, or if it has been damaged. Do not use the range for warming or heating the room. Persons coud be burned or injured, or a fire coud start. 9 Do not attempt to ight the oven burner during a power faiure. Persona injury coud resut. Use the range ony for its intended use as described in this manua. Do not wear oose or hanging garments when using the range. They coud ignite if they touch a hot surface burner and you coud be burned. 9 Do not touch surface burners, areas near burners or interior surfaces of oven. Areas near surface burners and rntenor surfaces of an oven become hot enough to cause burns. Duri~guSe,donottouch,oret cothing or other fammabe materias contact surface burners, areas near surface burners or interior surfaces of oven. Other surfaces of the range may become hot enough to cause burns; such as, the oven vent opening, the surface near the vent opening, the cooktop, the oven door and window. Make sure the utensis you use are arge enough to contain food and avoid boi-overs and spi-overs. Heavy spattering or spi-overs eft on a range can ignite and burn you. Pan size is especiay important in deep fat frying. Turn pan handes inward, but not over other surface burners. This wi hep reduce the chance of burns, igniting of fammabe materias, and spis due to bumping of the pan. Use ony dry pothoders.

Using the oven contros Baking 1. Position the rack(s) propery before turning on the oven. To change rack position, pu rack out to stop, raise front edge and ift out. The rack(s) shoud be paced so the top of the food wi be centered in the oven. Aways eave at east 1 /2 to 2 inches (4-5 cm) between the sides of the pan and the oven was and other pans. For more information, see the Cooking Guide. 2. Set the Oven Seector to BAKE. 3. Push in and turn the Oven Tem- perature Contro to the baking temperature you want. The oven burner wi automaticay ight in 50-60 seconds. 4. Preheat the oven for 10 minutes. Put food in the oven. NOTE: Do not pace food directy on the oven bottom. 5. During baking, the oven burner wi turn on and off to maintain the temperature setting. When baking is done, turn both the Oven Seector and the Oven Temperature Contro to OFF. 9
Using Your Range Continued Adjusting the oven temperature contro Does your oven seem hotter or coder than your od oven? The temperature of your od oven may have shifted graduay without you noticing the change. Your new oven is propery adjusted to provide accurate temperatures. But, when compared to your od oven, the new design may give you different resuts. If, after using the oven for a period of time, you are not satisfied with the temperature settings, they can be adjusted by foowing these steps: 1. Pu the Oven Temperature Contro Knob straight off and turn upsidedown. 2. Loosen both ocking screws. Note the position of the indicator beow the degree markers. screws To ower v To raise 3. To ower the temperature, hod knob hande firmy and turn skirt cockwise to move indicator one degree marker to the right. Each degree marker equas about 10 F (5 C). 4. To raise temperature, hod knob hande firmy and turn skirt countercockwise to move indicator one degree marker to the eft. Each degree marker equas about 10 F (5 C). Tighten the ocking screws and repace the contro knob. 10
Broiing Refer to the Cooking Guide for additiona broiing information. 1. Position the rack before turning the oven on. Refer to broiing chart on next page for recommended rack positions and broiing times. 2. Preheat the broier for 5 minutes before using. This heats the specia ceramic coating on the burner refector, which then radiates the heat rays into the food. 3. Put the broier pan and food on the rack. 4. Competey cose the oven door to assure proper broiing temperatures. 11
Using Your Range Continued Broiing tips Use the broier pan and grid for broiing. They are designed to drain excess iquid and fat away from the cooking surface to hep prevent spatter, smoke or fire. If you broi sma quantities, you may want to use a sma broier pan. They are avaiabe in the housewares section of many department stores. For best broiing resuts, preheat at BROIL for 5 minutes. Do not preheat with broier pan in pace. Rack position determines how infrared rays cook your food. The ower the position, the more broier grid area covered by the rays. See chart beow for more information. To sear meat, pace broier pan at one of the higher rack positions so that meat is very near the fame. Sma steaks, hamburger patties, etc., may be broied in the higher rack positions. To cook arge steaks and other thick cuts of meat we done, move them to a ower rack position after searing. After broiing, remove the broier pan from the oven when you remove the food. Drippings wi bake on the pan if it is eft in the heated oven. Fire Hazard Pace meat the correct distance from the burner. Meat paced too cose to the burner may spatter, smoke, burn or catch fire during broiing. To ensure adequate grease drainage, do not use cookie sheets or simiar pans for broiing. Aso, covering the broier grid with foi is not recommended. Poor drainage of grease may resut in fire. If foi is used, cut sits in foi to correspond with a openings in broier grid. Grease can then drain away and coo in pan. Broiing chart The times and temperatures shown are provided as a genera guide. Both may be varied to brown food or to achieve desired doneness.
