PROBLEM
a. Oven temperatures may vary
between the new and the old oven.
As ovens age, the oven
temperature often “drifts” and may
become hotter or cooler. Also,
newer ovens may operate
differently from older ovens. You
should expect some differences in
baking results.
a. Oven seems hotter or cooler than
your previous oven.
Baking results differ from
previous oven.
Strong odor or light smoke
when oven is turned
on the first few times.
This is normal for a new range and will disappear after a few uses. Opening a window
or turning on a fan will help remove the smoke and odor.
Oven smokes
excessively during
a broil operation.
a. move broiler pan down one rack
position
b. trim fat
c. apply sauce during last few minutes
of cooking. If meat has been
marinated, drain thoroughly before
cooking
d. always clean broiler pan and insert
after each use
e. never cover insert with foil as this
prevents fat from draining to pan
below
f. clean oven bottom
a. food too close to burner
b. meat has too much fat
c. sauce applied too early or marinade
not completely drained
d. soiled broiler pan
e. broiler insert covered with aluminum
foil

HOW TO REMOVE RANGE FOR CLEANING
AND SERVICING
Follow these procedures to remove appliance for cleaning
or servicing:
1. Shut-off gas supply to appliance.
2. Disconnect electrical supply to appliance, if equipped.
3. Disconnect gas supply tubing to appliance.
4. Slide range forward to disengage range from the
anti-tip bracket. (See Installation Instructions for
location of bracket.)
5. Reverse procedure to reinstall. If gas line has been
disconnected, check for gas leaks after reconnection. A
qualified servicer should disconnect and reconnect the
gas supply. (See Installation Instructions for gas leak
test method.)
To prevent range from accidently tipping, range must be
secured to the floor by sliding rear leveling leg into an
anti-tip bracket supplied with the range.
WARNING:
Possible risks may result from abnormal
usage, including excessive loading of the oven door
and of the risk of tip over, should the appliance not be
reinstalled according to the installation instructions.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Appliances which require electrical power are
equipped with a three-prong grounding plug
which
must be plugged directly into a properly grounded
three-hole 120 volt electrical outlet.
Always disconnect power to
appliance before servicing.
The three-prong grounding plug offers protection against
shock hazards.
DO NOT CUT OR REMOVE THE THIRD
GROUNDING PRONG FROM THE POWER CORD
PLUG.
If an ungrounded, two-hole or other type electrical outlet is
encountered,
it is the personal responsibility of the
appliance owner to have the outlet replaced with a
properly grounded three-hole electrical outlet.
