Baking, Broiling, and Roasting

• Do not use oven area for storage.
• Stand back from range when opening door of a hot

oven. Hot air or steam can cause burns to hands,
face, and eyes.

• Do not use aluminum foil anywhere in the oven. This

could result in a fire hazard and damage the range.

• Use only glass cookware appropriate for use in gas

ovens.

• Always remove broiler pan from oven when finished

broiling. Grease left in pan can catch fire if oven is
used without removing grease from the broiler pan.

• Meat that is close to the flame may ignite when

broiling. Trim any excess fat to help prevent excessive
flare-ups.

• Make sure broiler pan is placed correctly to reduce any

possibility of grease fires.

• Should a grease fire occur in the broiler pan, turn off

oven, and keep oven door closed until fire burns out.

Connecting Range to Gas

Install manual shut-off valve

in gas line for easy

accessibility outside range. Be aware of the location of
the shut-off valve.

Electrical Requirements

120-volt, 60 Hertz, 15 amp, individual circuit which is
properly grounded, polarized and protected by a circuit
breaker or fuse.

Extension Cord

Due to possible pinching during installation, extension
cords should not be used on products.

Extension cords will adversely affect the performance of
spark system.

Product Safety Devices

Safety devices and features have been engineered into
the product to protect consumer and servicer. Safety
devices must never be removed, bypassed, or altered in
such a manner as to defeat the purpose for which they
were intended.

Listed below are various safety devices together with the
reason each device is incorporated in the gas ranges.

Pressure Regulator

Maintains proper and
steady gas pressure for
operation of oven
controls. Regulator must
be set for the type of
gas being used 

Natural

or 

LP.

 After servicing

regulator, make certain it
is set properly before
completing service.

Gas Burner Orifices

Universal orifices are
used on most valves.
They must be adjusted
or set for the type of gas
being used 

Natural

or

LP.

After servicing a valve or
orifice verify it is
adjusted properly before
completing service.

Oven Safety Valve

Oven valve is designed
to be a safety valve. Two
basic designs are used
in gas ranges.

Hydraulic type valve
Electric type valve

Both types are safety
valves because they are
indirectly operated or
controlled by the oven
thermostat, which
controls a pilot flame or
electric ignitor, to open
and close the oven valve.

Grounded Oven Frame

Ground prong on power
cord is connected to the
frame, usually a green
lead fastened by a
screw. In addition, any
part or component
capable of conducting
an electric current is
grounded by its
mounting.

If any ground wire,
screw, strap, nut, etc. is
removed for service, or
any reason, it must be
reconnected to its
original position with
original fastener before
the appliance is put into
operation again.

Failure to do so can
create a possible shock
hazard.
