Before Using the Oven
Read all instructions before using.
To avoid discoloration during use, follow the tips in the Maintenance section.
What to do if you smell gas
Open windows.
Do not try to light any appliance.
Do not touch any electrical switch.
Do not use any phone in your building.
Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s phone. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.
If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.
Do not place plastic or flammable items on the cooktop. They may melt or ignite if left too close to the vent.
Do not place closed containers on the cooktop. The pressure in closed containers may increase, which may cause them to burst.
Metal items will become very hot if they are left on the cooktop, and could cause burns.
Handles of pots and pans on the cooktop may become hot if left too close to the vent.
Avoid opening the oven door more than necessary during use. This helps the oven maintain temperature, prevents unnecessary heat loss, and saves on energy use.
Make sure the electrical power cord and the gas valve are properly connected.
Confirm the correct usage of the range for the type of food you will cook.
Make sure you know how to use the oven (temperature setting, time setting and recipe) for best results.
NoteIf using an oven thermometer in the oven cavity, temperatures may differ from the actual set oven temperature with all modes.
In case of power failure, do not use the oven.
CautionDo not attempt to operate the electric ignition during an electrical power failure.
The oven and broiler cannot be used during a power outage. If the oven is in use when a power failure occurs, the oven burner shuts off and cannot be re-lit until power is restored. Once power is restored, you will need to reset the oven (or Broil function).
Do not block, touch or place items around the oven vent during cooking.
Your oven is vented through ducts at the center above the burner grate. Do not block the oven vent a when cooking to allow for proper air flow. Do not touch vent openings or nearby surfaces during any cooking operation.
Do not cover racks or oven bottom with aluminum foil.
You may see condensation on the oven door glass.
As the oven heats up, the heated air in the oven may cause condensation to appear on the oven door glass. These water drops are harmless and will evaporate as the oven continues to heat up.
