Baking, Broiling and Roasting
• Keep the oven free from grease buildup.
• Do not use the oven for a storage area.
Items stored in the oven can ignite.
• Place the oven shelves in the desired position
while the oven is cool.
• Stand away from the range when opening the
door of a hot oven. The hot air and steam that
escapes can cause burns to hands, face and eyes.
• Pulling out the shelf to the shelf-stop is a
convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also a
precaution against burns from touching hot
surfaces of the door or oven walls. The lowest
position “R” is not designed to slide.
• Do not heat unopened food containers.
Pressure could build up and the container
could burst, causing an injury.
• Do not use aluminum foil anywhere in the oven
except as described in this guide. Misuse could
result in a fire hazard or damage to the range.
• When using cooking or roasting bags in the
oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.
• Use only glass cookware that is recommended
for use in gas ovens.
• Always remove the broiler pan from range as
soon as you finish broiling. Grease left in the pan
can catch fire if oven is used without removing
the grease from the broiler pan.
• When broiling, if meat is too close to the flame,
the fat may ignite. Trim excess fat to prevent
excessive flare-ups.
• Make sure the broiler pan is in place correctly
to reduce the possibility of grease fires.
• If you should have a grease fire in the broiler
pan, turn off oven control, and keep broiler
drawer and oven door closed to contain fire until
it burns out.
Cleaning Your Range
• Clean only parts listed in this Use and
Care Guide.
• Keep range clean and free of accumulations
of grease or spillovers, which may ignite.
• Be careful when you clean the cooktop because
the area over the pilot (on standing pilot
models) will be hot.
• For continuous clean models, do not use oven
cleaners on any of the continuous cleaning
surfaces. Continuous cleaning surfaces can be
identified by their rough surface finish.
