WARNING!
POWER FAILURE
In the event of a power failure,
only the standard burners and
grill can be lit manually. It is
necessary to light each standard
burner individually.
If the range is being used when
the power failure occurs, turn all
of the burner control knobs to the
OFF position.
Holding a match at the ports, then
by turning the control knob to the
HI position, can light the standard
burners and grill.
Wait until the flame is burning all
the way around the burner cap
before adjusting the flame to the
desired height.
INTERMITTENT OR CONSTANT
IGNITER SPARKING
Intermittent or constant sparking of the sealed
gas surface burners can result from a number
of preventable conditions. Eliminate these
conditions as indicated in the following chart.
OVEN LIGHT AND BULB REPLACEMENT:
Replace only with a 30 Watt, 120 volt appliance light bulb.
DO NOT USE a standard household light bulb in any oven.
To Replace The Light Bulb:
Turn the oven light switch to the OFF position. Let bulb and
cover cool completely.
Remove the light cover by pulling gently on the corner of the
glass with a standard flat tipped screwdriver, making sure not to
exert more pressure than necessary (GLASS IS FRAGILE).
Remove the burnt out bulb. Replace it with a 30 Watt, appliance
light bulb only!
Replace cover: Turn the circuit back on, if need be (see
Caution below).
CAUTION!
Before replacing the light bulb, be certain that the OVEN
LIGHT SWITCH is in the OFF position. Let bulb and cover
cool completely before touching. If the light bulb glass
comes loose from the base, turn the power to the oven
OFF at the circuit breaker panel, before attempting to
remove the bulb base from the socket.
