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 first weeks of using your new range.
The oven burner and
broil burner are lighted by
electric ignition.
To
light either burner, press the pad for the desired
function then press the INCREASE or DECREASE
pad until the desired temperature is displayed. The
burner should ignite within 30-90 seconds.
After the oven reaches the selected temperature, the
oven burner cycles—off completely, then on with a
full flame-to keep the oven temperature controlled.
Oven Shelves
with stop-locks so when
placed correctly on the
shelf supports, they will
stop before coming
completely out of the
oven and will not tilt
when you are removing
food from them or
placing food on them.
When placing cookware on a shelf, pull the shelf out
to the "stop" position. Place the cookware on the
shelf, then slide the shelf back into the oven. This will
eliminate reaching into the hot oven.
To
remove a shelf from
the oven, pull it toward
you, tilt front end upward
and pull shelf out.
To
replace, place shelf
on shelf support with
stop-locks (curved
extension of shelo
facing up and toward
rear of oven. Tilt up front
of oven until it goes past "stop" on oven wall. Then
lower front of shelf and push it all the way back.

Power Outage

CAUTION: DO NOT MAKE ANY ATTEM~ TO
OPERATE THE ELECTRIC IGNITION OVEN
DURING AN ELECTRICAL POWER FAILURE.
The oven or broiler cannot be lit during a power
failure. Gas will not flow unless the glow bar is hot.
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.

Shelf Positions

The oven has five shelf
supports for normal
baking and roasting
identified in this
illustration as A
(bottom), B, C, D and
E (top). It also has a
special low shelf
position (R) for roasting
extra large items, such
as a large turkey—the
shelf is not designed to
slide out at this position.
Shelf positions for cooking
are suggested on Baking
and Roasting pages.
