Your range, tike many other household items,
is hwvy and can settle into soft floor coverings
such as cushioned vinyl or arpeting.
men moving the range on this type of flooring, use
care, and it is recommended that these simple
instructions be followed.
The range should be instiled on a l/4-inch thick
sheet of plywood (or similar materird) as fo~ows:
men the floor covering ends at the front of the
range, the area that the range wi~ rest on should be
built up with plywood to the same level or higher than
the floor covering. This wfll tiow the range to be
moved for cleaning or servicing.
Leveling legs are located on each corner of the base
of the range. Your range must be level in order to
produce proper cooking and baking results. Merit is
in its find location, place a level horizontily on any
oven shelf and check the levelness front to back and
side to side. Level the rmge by adjusting the leveling
legs or by placing shims under the comers as needed.
One of the rear leveling legs will engage the hti-Tip
device (allow for some side to side adjustment).
Mlow a minimum clearance of 1/8 inch between the
range and the levehng leg that is to be instrdled into
the hti-Tip device.

● Check to be sure the burner you turned on is the one
you want to use.
● Do not operate a burner for an extended period of
time without cookware on the grate. The finish
on the grate may chip without cookware to absorb
the heat.
● Be sure the burners and grates are cool before you
place your hand, a pot holder, cleaning cloths or
other matends on them.
●
Air Adjw@ent
An air adjustment
shutter for each
surface burner
regulates the flow
of air to the flame.
When the right amount of air flows into the
burner, the flame will be steady, relatively quiet and
have approximately 3/4-inch sharp blue cones. This is
usually the case with factory preset shutter settings.
With too much air, the flame will be unsteady,
possibly won’t burn rdl the way around, and will be
noisy, sounding like a blowtorch.
With not enough air, you won’t see any sharp blue
cones in the flame, you may see yellow tips and soot
may accumulate on pots and pans.
To adjust the flow of air to the burners, rotate the
shutters to allow more or less air into the burner tubes
as needed.
How to Select Name Sbe
Watch the flame, not the knob, as you reduce heat.
The flame size on a gas burner should match the

FOR SAFE WL~G OF COOKWARE ~WR
LET THE FLAME EKTE~ W ~ S~ES OF ~
COOKW~. Any flame larger than the bottom of the
cookware is wasted and ordy serves to heat the hande.
Top of Range Cookware
Almnin um: Medium-weight cookware is
recommended because it heats quictiy and evenly.
Most foods brown evenly in an durrdnum stiet.
Use saucepans with tight-fitting tids when cooking
with minimum amounts of water.
Cast-iron: If heated slowly, most skillets will give
satisfactory results.
Enamelware: Un&r some conditions, the enamel
of some cookware may melt. Follow cookware
manufacturer’s recommendations for cooking methods.
Glass: There are 2 types of glass cookware-those
for oven use ody and those for top-of-rmge cooking
(saucepans, coffee and teapots). Glass conducts heat
very slowly.
Hwtproof Gks Ceramic: Can be used for either
surface or oven cooking. It conducts heat very slowly
and cools very slowly. Check cookware manufacturer’s
directions to be sure it can be used on gas ranges.
Stahdess Steel: This meti done has poor heating
properties and is usually combined with copper,
aluminum or other metis for improved heat
distribution. Combination meti skillets usually work
satisfactorily if they are used with medium heat as the
manufacturer recommends.

Before Using Your Oven
Be sure you understand how to set the controls properly. Practice removing
and replacing the shelves while the oven is cool. Read the information and
tips on the following pages. Keep this book handy where you can refer to it,
especially during the fwst weeks of using your new range.
Lighting Instructions for Electric Ignition Model JGAS02EN
The oven burner on ti range is tighted by electric ignition.
To tight the burner, turn the OVEN TEMP knob to the desired
temperature. The burner should fight within 30-90 seconds. After the oven
reaches the selected temperature the oven burner cycles on and off to
maintain the selected temperature.
Power Outige
A burner in use when an electricrd power failure
occurs wdl continue to operate normally. Your oven
may be used during an electrical power outige by
carefully following the steps below:
To tight the oven ptiot during an electrid
power outage:
1. Be sure the OVEN TEMP knob is in the
OFF position.
2. Open both the oven and broiler doors and wait 5
minutes to allow any pilot gas to dissipate.
3. Unplug the range from the wdl outiet, turn off the
circuit breaker, or remove the fuse to avoid
accidenti ignition of the oven if electrical power is
restored wtie you are lighting the pflot.
4. Remove the broiler pan.
5. Locate the oven pilot assembly by looking into the
broiler opening. The pilot is at the back of the
broiler compartment, on the right side of the burner.
NOTE: The oven must beat room temperature
before you should attempt to light the oven pilot
manually.
6. Turn the OVEN TEMP knob to the desired
temperature setting.
7. Light the pilot with a match and withdraw your arm
immediately because the oven burner may light in
as litie as 20 seconds.
8. Replace the broiler pan and close the oven and
broiler doors.
NOTE: It is necessary to light the pilot manually
each time the oven is used during a power outage.
Lighting htructions for Stiding mot Models JGAS02PN, JLAS02PN
These ranges have standing oven pilots that must be
lit initially.
To light the oven pilot:
1. Be sure the OVEN
TEMP knob is in the
OFF position.
2. Remove the oven
bottom and the
burner btie.
See the Care and
Cleaning section.
3. Find the oven pilot
port at the back of
the oven.
10
4. Using a long match or match holder, reach in and
tight the oven pilot.
5. Place the burner btie and the oven bottom and
cIose the door. Your oven and broiler are now ready
for use.
● To light the oven burner, turn the OVEN TEMP
bob to the desired temperature. The burner should
light within 60 seconds.
● Power faflure? An electrical power failure will not
affect the standing oven pilot.

USmG YOUR O~N
(continued)
Oven Vents
The oven is vented tiough duct openings at the rear
of the cooktop. See the Features section. Do not block
the opening when cooking in the oven—it is
important that the flow of hot air from the oven and
fresh air to the oven burner be uninterrupted.
● The vent openings and n-rby surfaces may
become hot during baking and brofing.
Do not touch them.
● Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop
they may meit if left too close to the vent.
Handles of pots and pans on the cooktop may
become hot if left too close to the vent.
● Meti items til become very hot if they are left
on the cooktop and codd ause burns.
● Do not leave any items on the cooktop. The hot air
from the vent may ignite flammable items and will
increase pressure in closed containers, which may
cause them to burst.
●
Do Zt Yourse~—Adjmt the Oven Themosbt
ffyou don’t think the oven is heating at the right
temperature when you are baking or roasting, you
m reset the thermostat yourseM.
When cooking food for the f~st time in your new
oven, use time given on recipes as a guide. Oven
thermostats, over a period of years, may “drift” from
the factory setting and the differences in timing
between an old and a new oven of 5 to 10 minutes are
not unusual. Your oven has been set correctiy at the
factory and is more likely to be accurate than the oven
which it replaced.
We do not recommend the use of inexpensive
thermometers, such as those found in the grocery
store, to check the temperature setting of your new
oven. These thermometers can vary by 2M0 degrees.
To decide how much to change the temperature,
set the oven temperature 25°F. higher or lower than
the temperature in your recipe, then bake. The results

How to Set Your Range For Bating
To avoid possible bum, place the shelves in the
correct position before you turn on the oven.
1. Close the oven door. Then turn the OVEN
~MP knob to the desired temperature.
2. Check the food for doneness at the minimum time
on the recipe. Cook longer if necessary. Turn the
OVEN ~MP knob to OFF and remove the food.
For best baking results, follow these suggestions:
Oven Shelves
Arrange the oven
shelf or shelves in
the desired locations
while the oven is
cool. The correct
shelf position
depends on the kind
of food and the
browning desired.
As a general rule,
place-most foods in the tiddle of the oven, on either
the shelf position B or C. See the chart for suggested
shelf positions.

Preheating
Reheat the oven if the recipe cds for it. Preheat
means bringing the oven up to the specified
temperature before putting in the food. To preheat,
set the oven at the correct temperature-selecting a
higher temperature does not shorten the preheat time.
Preheating is necessary for good results when baking
cakes, cookies, pastry and breads. For most casseroles
and roasts, preheating is not necessary. For ovens
without a preheat indicator light or tone, preheat
10 minutes. After the oven is preheated place the food
in the oven as quic~y as possible to prevent heat
from escaping.
BaKng Pans
Pan Placement
Use the proper baking pan. The type of ftish on the
pan determines the amount of browning that wfll occur.
● Dark, rough or dull pans absorb heat resulting in a
browner, crisper crust. Use this type for pies.
● Shiny, bright rmd smooth pans reflect heat, resulting
in a lighter, more delicate browning. Cakes and
cookies require this type of pm.
“ Glass baking dishes dso absorb heat. men baking
in glass baking dishes, lower the temperature by
25°F. and use the recommended cooking time in
the recipe. This is not necessary when baking pies
or casseroles.
For even cooking and proper browning, there must be
enough room for air circulation in the oven. Baking
results will be better if baking pans are centered as
much as possible ramer than being placed to the front
or to the back of the oven.
Pans shotid not touch each other or tie walls of the
oven. Allow 1 to 1X inch space between pans as well
as from the back of the oven, the door and the sides. If
you use 2 shelves, stagger the pans so 1 is not direcdy
above the other.

Bahg Guides
men using prepared baking mixes, follow package recipe or instructions
for the best baking results.
Cooties
men bting cookies, flat cookie sheets (without
sides) produce better-looking cookies. Cookies b~ed
in a jelly roll pan (short sides rdl around) may have
darker edges and pde or light browning may occur.
Do not use a cookie sheet so large that it touches the
walls or the door of the oven. Never entirely cover a
shelf with a large cookie sheet.
For best results, use ody 1 cookie sheet in the oven
at a time.
Cakes
For best results, bake pies in dark, rough or dull pans
to produce a browner, crisper crust. Frozen pies in foil
pans should be placed on an aluminum cookie sheet
for baking since the shiny foil pan reflects heat away
from the pie crust; the cookie sheet helps retin it.
men baking cakes, warped or bent pans will cause
uneven baking results and poorly shaped products.
A cake baked in a pan larger than the recipe
recommends will usually be crisper, thinner and drier
than it should be. H baked in a pan smaller than
recommended, it maybe undercooked and batter may
oveflow. Check the recipe to make sure the pan size
used is the one recommended.
Altinu Fofl
Never entirely cover a shelf with durninum foil.
This will disturb the heat circulation and result in poor
baking. A smaller sheet of foil maybe used to catch a
spillover by placing it on a lower shelf several inches
below the food.
Don’t Peek
Set the timer for the estimated cooking time and do
not open the door to look at your food. Most recipes
provide minimum and maximum baking times such
as “bake 30-40 minutes.”
14
——._..—.
DO NOT open the door to check until the
minimum time. Opening the oven door frequently
during coo~ng allows heat to escape and makes
baking times longer. Your baking results may dso
be affected.
Roasting is cooking by dry heat. Tender meat or poultry can be roasted
uncovered in your oven. Roasting temperatures, which should be low and
steady, keep spattering to a minimum.
Roasting is redy a baking procedure used for meats. Roasting is easy;
just follow these directions:
1. Place the shelf in the A or B position.
No preheating is necessary.
2. Check the weight
of the meat. Place
it, fat side up, (or
for poultry, breastside-up) on the
roasting rack in a
shallow pan. The
melting Fat will baste the meat. Select a pan m
close to the size of the meat as possible. (The
broiler pan with rack is a good pan for this.) Line
the broiler pan with rduminum foil when using the
pan for marinating, cooking witi fruits, cooking
heavily cured meats, or basting food during
cooking. Avoid spilling these materials inside the
oven or inside the oven door.
3. Turn the OVEN TEMP knob to the desired setting.
4. After roasting is complete, turn the OVEN TE~
knob to OFF and then remove the food from
the oven.
Most meats continue to cook stightiy while standing,
after being removed horn the oven. Standing time
recommended for roasts is 10 to 20 minutes. This
allows roasts to fm up and makes them easier to
carve. ktemd temperature will rise about 5° to 10°F.
To compensate for temperature increase, if desired,
remove the roast from the oven sooner (at 5° to 10°F.
less than the temperature in the Roasting Guide).
NOTE: Remember that the food wfl continue
to cook in a hot oven and therefore should be
removed when the desired intemd temperature has
been reached.
Frozen Romk
Frozen roasts of beef, pork, lamb, etc. can be started
without thawing, but allow 10 to 25 minutes per
pound additiond time (10 minutes per pound for
roasts under 5 pounds, more time for larger roasts).
Thaw most frozen poultry before roasting to ensure
even doneness. Some commercial frozen poultry can
be cooked successfully without tiawing. Follow the
directions given on the package label.

Questions and Answers
Q. Is it necessary to check for donenws with a
meat thermometer?
A. Checking the finished intemd temperature at the
completion of cooking time is recommended.
Temperatures are shown in Roasting Guide. For
roasts over 8 lbs., check with thermometer at hdfhour interv~s after hdf the time has passed.
Q. my is my roast crmnbting when I try to
carve it?
A. Roasts are easier to slice if allowed to cool 10 to
20 minutes after removing them from the oven.
Be sure to cut across the grain of the meat.
Q. h I need to preheat my oven wch time I cook
a roast or potitry?
A. It is unnecessary to preheat your oven.
Q. men buying a roast, are there any special tips
that wodd help me cook it more everdy?
A. Yes. Buy a roast as even in thickness as possible,
or buy ro~ed roasts.
Q. Can I seal the sides of my foil ‘tent” when
roasting a turkey?

How to Broti
Broiling is cooking food by direct heat horn above the
food. Most fish and tender cuts of meat can be
broiled. Follow these steps to keep spattering and
smoking to a minimum.
Your range has a compartment below the oven for
broiling. A specially designed broiler pan and rack
allow dripping fat to drain away from the food and
keeps it away from the high heat of the gas flame.
Both the oven and broiler compartment doors
shodd be closed during broiting.
1. You can change the distance of the food from the
heat source by positioning the broiler pan and rack
on one of three shelf positions in the broiler
compartment-A (bottom of broiler compartment),
B (midde) and C (top).
2. Reheating the broiler or oven is not necessary and
can produce poor results.
3. H the meat has fat or gristie near the edge, cut
vertical slashes through it about 2 inches apart, but
don’t cut into the meat. We recommend that you
tim the fat to prevent excessive smoking, leaving a
layer about 1/8 inch thick.
4. Arrange the food on rack and position the broiler
pan on the appropriate shelf in the oven or broiling
compartment. Placing the food closer to the flame
increases the exterior browning of food, but dso
increases spattering md the possibility of the fats
and the meat juices igniting.
5. Close the oven and broiler compartment door.
6. Turn the OVEN TEMP knob to BRO~.
7. Turn most foods once during cooking (the
exception is thin fdlets of fish; oil one side, place
that side down on broiler rack and cook without
turning until done). Time foods for about one-half
the toti cooking time, turn food, then continue to
cook to prefemed doneness.
8. Turn the OVEN TEMP knob to OFF. Remove the
broiler pan from the broiler compartment and seine
the food immediately. bave the pan outside the
range to cool.
Use of Altim Foti
You can use rduminum fofi to be your brofier pan and
brofler rack. However, you must mold the foil tighdy
to the rack and cut slits in it just like the rack.
Without the slits, the foti will prevent fat and meat
juices from draining to the broiler pan. The juices
could become hot enough to catch on fie. If you do
not cut the slits, you are frying, not broiling.
Questiom & Amwers
Q. When brotiing, is it necessary to always use a
rack in the pan?
A. Yes. Using the rack suspends the meat over the
pm. As the meat cooks, the juices fdl into the pan,
thus keeping meat drier. Juices are protected by the
rack and stay cooler, thus preventing excessive
spatter and smoking.
Q. Shodd I At the m=t before brofing?
A. No. Sdt draws out the juices and rdlows them to
evaporate. Always sdt after cooking. Turn meat
with tongs; piercing meat with a fork dso rdlows
juices to escape. When brofling poultry or fish,
brush each side ofien with butter.
Q. Why are my mats not turning out as brown
as they shodd?
A. Check to see if you are using the recommended
shelf position. Broil for longest period of time
indicated in the Broitig Guide. Turn the food only
once during broiling.

BRO~~G G~E
The oven and brofler compartment doors must be
closed duting brotikg.
1. Always use the broiler pan and rack that comes with
your range. It is designed to minimize smoking and
spattering by trapping the juices in the shielded
lower part of the pan.
2. For steaks and chops, slash fat evenly around
outside edges of meat. To slash, cut crosswise
through outer fat surface just to the edge of the
meat. Use tongs to turn meat over to prevent
piercing meat and losing juices.

Follow these steps to remove the range for servicing
or cleaning hard to reach surfaces.
1. Shut off the gas supply to the range.
2. Disconnect the electrical supply to the range.
3. Disconnect the gas supply tubing to the range.
4. Slide the range forward to free the range foot from
the Anti-Tip bracket. See the kstilation
Instructions for the location of the bracket.
5. Reverse these steps to re-instil the range. If the
gas line has been disconnected, check for gas leaks
after reconnection. See the Initiation kstructions
for the gas lead test method.
NO~: A trained technician should make the gas

Lift-Up/Off Cooktop
Clean the area under the cooktop often. Built-up soil,
especially grease, may catch on fwe.
To make cleaning easier, the cooktop may be Mted
up or off.
Be sure M burners are turned off before raising
the cooktop. Then remove the grates. Grasp the two
front burner wells and hft the cooktop up or off. Be
careful of the pilots when the cooktop is up.
After cleaning underneath the cooktop with hot,
soapy water and a clean cloth, lower or replace the
cooktop. Be careful not to pinch your fingers.
To replace the cooktop if you have removed it,
insert tie two tabs at the back of the cooktop into slots
at the base of the backguard.
Lower the cooktop into place, applying pressure until
the tab on the underside snaps into the catch at the top
front center of the range.

Burners
The holes in the surface burners of vour ranze must
be kept clean at dl times for proper”ignition”ad an
even, unhampered flame.
You shotid dean the surface burners routinely,
especitiy after bad spi~overs, which could clog
these holes. Wipe off the surface burners. H heavy
spillover occurs, remove the stiace burners from
range. The burners fift out for cleaning. Lift up the
cooktop and then lift out the surface burners.
20
To remove burned-on food, soak the surface burner
in a solution of mild liquid detergent and hot water.
Soak the surface burner for 20 to 30 minutes. For
more stubborn stains, use a cleanser like Soft Scrub”
brand or Bon tie brand. Rinse well to remove any
traces of the cleanser that might clog the surface
burner openings. Do not use steel wool because it will
clog the surface burner openings and scratch the
surface burners. If the holes become clogged, clean
them with a small pin or sewing neede.
Before putting the surface burner back, shake out
excess water and then dry it thoroug~y by setting it in
a warm oven for 30 minutes. Then ulace it back in the
range, making sure it is properly se;ted and level.
NO~: a screw holds each of the burners in place to
keep them from wobbting around during shipment.
Remove and discard the shipping screw. Tilt the
burner to one side at the end closest toward the back
of the range. This disengages it from the gas vrdves at
the front of the range, it hfts out easily
Burner Gratw
Lift them out when cool. Grates should be
washed regularly and, of course, after sptiovers.
Wash them in hot, soapy water and rinse with clean
water. After cleaning, dry thoroughly by putting them
in a warm oven for a few minutes. Don’t put the
grates back on the range while they are wet. When
replacing the grates, be sure they’re positioned
securely over the burners.
To prevent rusting on =t iron grates, apply a light
coating of cooking oil on the bottom of the gates.
To get rid of burned-on food, place the grates in a
covered container (or plastic bag) with 1/4 cup
ammonia to loosen the soil. Then scrub with a
soap-filled scouting pad if necessary.
Although they’re durable, the grates will gradudly
lose theti shine, regardess of the best care you can
give them. This is due to their continual exposure to
high temperatures.
Do not operate a burner for an extended period of
time M&out cookwm on tie grate. The finish on tie
grate may chip without cookware to absorb the heat.
When replacing a pair of grates, the irregular sides
should meet in the middle.
Control Panel and mobs
It’s a good idea to wipe the control panel after each
use of the oven. Clean with mild soap and water or
vinegar and water, rinse with clean water and polish
dry with a soft cloth.
Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong fiquid cleaners,
plastic scouring pads or oven cleaners on the control
panel-they will damage the finish. A 50/50 solution
of vinegar and hot water works well.
The control knobs may
be removed for easier
cleaning. To remove the
knob, pull it straight off
the stem. If knob is
difficult to remove, ulace
a towel or dishcloth-between the knob and control
panel and pull gently. Wash the knobs in soap and
water or a vinegar and hot water solution but do
not soak.
Oven Shelves
The shelves can be cleaned by hand using soap and
water or with an abrasive cleaner. After cleaning,
rinse the shelves with clean water and dry.
To remove heavy, burned-on soil, you may use
scouring pads. After scrubbing, wash with soapy
water rinse and dry.

The oven bottom has a porcelain enamel ftih.
To make cleaning easier, protect the oven bottom
from excessive spi~overs. This is particularly
important when baking a fruit pie or other foods with
high acid content. Hot fruit fi~ings or foods that are
acid in content such as mik, tomato or sauerkraut,
and sauces with vinegar or lemon juice, may cause
pitting and damage to the porcelain enamel surface.

drawer dl the way out of the compartment.
3. Clean the broiler drawer with hot soapy water.
To replace:
1. Slide the broiler drawer onto the guide rails at the
sides of the broiler compartment. Push the drawer
until completely closed.
NOTE: If the oven bottom is replaced incorrectly,
it may warp and cause undesirable baking results.
To protect the oven bottom surface, place a piece of
durninum foil stightiy larger than the baking dish on
the shelf below to catch any boilovers. It should not
completely cover the shelf as this wotid cause uneven
heat in the oven. Aluminum foil should not be placed
on the oven bottom.

sparting or fwe.
● Do not allow a fdm from the cleaner to build up
on the temperature sensor—it could cause the oven
to heat imDroDerlv. (The sensor is located at the toD
of the oven.) Carefully wipe the sensor clean after’
each oven cleaning, being careful not to move the
sensor as a change in its position could affect how
the oven b~es.
● Do not spray any oven cleaner on the oven door,
handes or any exterior surface of the oven,
wood or painted surfaces. The cleaner can damage
these surfaces.
Meti Pafi
Do not use steel wool, abrasives, ammonia or commercial oven
cleaners. To safely clean surfaces; wash, rinse and then dry with a
