12. A risk of tip-over may result if the appliance is not installed in
accordance with installation instructions including excessive
loading of the oven door or from abnormal usage.
13. Keep area clean and free from combustible material, gasoline, and
other flammable liquids.
14. Do not heat unopened food containers; buildup of pressure may
cause the container to explode and result in injury.
15. Never sit, step, stand, or lean on any part of the oven, or injury
may result.
16. Beware of potential hazards associated with retrieving items from
cabinets when the oven is in operation.
17. Once the unit is installed as outlined in the Installation Instructions,

Important Safety Instructions
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury to persons, or damage
when using the oven, follow basic precautions, including the following:
1. Your unit should be installed by a qualified technician. Have this
technician show the the location of the gas shut-off valve on the
range so you know where and how to turn off the gas if necessary.
2. Do not attempt to repair or replace an part of this appliance unless
specifically recommended in this manual. All servicing should be
referred to a qualified technician. A qualified technician is
required for any adjustments or conversions to Nat. or LP gas.
3. The “push-to-turn” knob of this oven is designed to be child-safe.
However, children should not be left alone while the oven is in use.
Do not store items of interest to children over the unit. CAUTION:
Children climbing to reach items could be seriously injured.
4. GREASE is flammable and should be handled carefully. Do not
use water on grease fires. Never pick up a flaming pan. Smother
flaming pan by covering utensil completely with well-fitting lid,
cookie sheet or flat tray. Flaming grease outside of utensil can be
extinguished with baking soda or, if available, a multipurpose dry
chemical or foam type extinguisher.
Before You Use Your Oven
All gas ovens are wiped clean with solvents at the factory to
remove any visible signs of dirt, oil, and grease which may have
remained from the manufacturing process. Before starting to cook,
clean the oven thoroughly with hot soapy water.
5. Wear proper apparel. Loose-fitting or hanging garments should
never be worn while using the appliance.
6. Never use your oven for warming or heating a room. This is based
on safety considerations.
7. Use dry pot holders. Moist or damp pot holders on hot surfaces
may result in burns from steam. Do not use a towel or other bulky
cloth.
8. The vent ducts must also remain clear and unobstructed
9. Do not line the oven with aluminum foil.
10. Do not drape towels or any materials on oven door handles.

To Bake:
1. Arrange the oven racks in the desired position BEFORE heating the
oven. If cooking on two racks at the same time, use rack positions 2
and 4.
2. Turn the function selector to the desired temperature.
3. Press ignitor until a difference in tone is noted.
3. Place the food in the oven when preheated.
Natural Airflow Baking
This conventional baking/roasting is particularly suitable for dishes
which require a high temperature. Many cookbooks contain recipes to
be cooked in the conventional manner.
Baking Tips
•Make sure the oven racks are in the desired positions before you turn
the oven on.
•For best results, always preheat the oven.
Pan Placement Tips
•Do not open the oven door frequently during baking. If you must
open the door, the best time is during the last quarter of the baking
time.
•When using large (15” x 13” [38 cm x 33 cm]) flat pans or trays that
cover most of the rack, rack positions 2 or 3 produce the best results.
•Stagger pans in opposite directions when two racks and several pans
are used. No pan should be directly above another.
•Allow 1 1/2” to 2” (3.8 cm to 5.1 cm) of air space around all sides of
each pan for even air circulation.
•When baking on more
than one rack, it is
recommended to use the
2nd and 4th position for
•Bake to shortest time suggested and check for doneness before
adding more time. For baked goods, a stainless steel knife placed in
the center of the product should come clean when done.
•Use good quality baking pans and sizes recommended in the recipe;
warped, dented, or burned pans should not be used.
•Shiny metal pans are preferred for baking items such as cakes,
cookies, and muffins because they produce light, golden crusts due to
heat being reflected by the metal.
•Glass pans may also be used for cake baking. Reduce the oven
temperature by 25 degrees when using a glass pan, but bake for the
same amount of time called for in the recipe.
more consistent even
baking.
•Pies are best baked in pans which absorb and hold heat. Glass,
enamel, dull-finished metal, and porcelain enamel finish give pies a
golden brown crust.

Solving Baking Problems
Baking problems can occur for many reasons. Check the chart for the
causes and remedies for the most common problems. It is important
to remember that the temperature setting and cooking times you are
accustomed to using with your previous oven may vary slightly from
those required with this oven. If you find this to be true, it is necessary
for you to adjust your recipes and cooking times accordingly.

Always use the broiler pan and grid supplied with each oven. The hot
air must be allowed to circulate around the item being roasted. Do not
cover what is being roasted. Poultry will have a light, crispy skin, and
meats will be browned, not dry or burned. Cook meats and poultry
directly from the refrigerator. There is no need for meat or poultry to
stand at room temperature.

•Always roast meats fat side up. No basting is required when the fat
side is up. Do not add water to the pan, as this will cause a steamed
effect. Roasting is a dry-heat process.
•Poultry should be placed breast side up on the grid in the broiler pan.
Brush poultry with melted butter, margarine, or oil before and during
roasting.
•When using a meat thermometer, insert the probe halfway into the
center of the thickest portion of the meat. (For poultry, insert the
thermometer probe between the body and leg into the thickest part
of the inner thigh.) The tip of the probe should not touch bone, fat,
or gristle to ensure an accurate reading. Check the meat
thermometer 2/3 of the way through the recommended roasting time.
After reading the thermometer once, insert it 1/2” (1.3 cm) further into
the meat, then take a second reading. If the second reading registers
below the first, continue cooking the meat.

Cleaning and Maintenance
Replacing the battery (cart models)
Any piece of equipment works better and lasts longer when maintained
properly and kept clean. Cooking equipment is no exception. Your
oven must be kept clean and maintained properly.
Each cart model is equipped with a battery for the electronic ignition.
To replace the battery:
1. Locate the access door on the back left rear side of the cart.
2. Remove the two screws located at the bottom of the access door.
3. Locate the round black cap behind the access panel.
4. Unscrew cap. Battery is snapped in the cap.
Control Knob
MAKE SURE THE CONTROL KNOB POINTS TO THE OFF POSITION
BEFORE REMOVING. Pull the knob straight off. Wash in detergent
and warm water. Do not soak the knob. Dry completely and replace
by pushing firmly onto stem. DO NOT USE any cleaners containing
ammonia or abrasives. They could remove the graphics from the knob.
5. Snap cap on battery and screw back into slot inside cart.
Stainless Steel Parts
All stainless steel parts should be wiped regularly with hot, soapy water
at the end of each cooling period and with liquid stainless steel cleaner
when soapy water will not do the job. Do not use steel wool, abrasive
cloths, abrasive cleaners, or powders. If necessary to scrap stainless
steel to remove encrusted materials, soak the area with hot towels to
loosen the material, then use a wooden or nylon spatula or scraper.
Do not use a metal knife, spatula, or any other metal tool to scrape
stainless steel. For occasional heavy cleaning use, a cleaner such as
Liquid Zud can be used according to package directions. Do not
permit citrus or tomato juice to remain on stainless steel surface, as
citric acid will permanently discolor stainless steel. Wipe up any spills
immediately.
