Using Your Oven

Automatic Ignition
The oven burner and broil burner
are lighted by electric ignition.
To light either burner, push the
button for the desired function and

temperature is displayed. The
burner should ignite within 60
seconds.
Power outage?
The oven and broiler burners will
not light in the event of an electrical
power outage. Do not attempt to
Oven Shelves
The shelves are designed with stop-
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 the shelves from the
oven, pull them toward you, tilt
front end upward and pull them out.
To replace, place shelf on shelf

Oven and Cooktop Lights
Use the switches on the control
panel to turn the lights on and off.

Oven Vent

Your oven is vented through ducts
at the rear of the range (see page 6).
Do not block these ducts 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. Avoid touching the
vent openings or nearby surfaces
during oven or broiler operation—
they may become hot.
Vent openings and nearby
surfaces may become hot. Do not
touch them.
Handles of pots and pans on the
cooktop may become hot if left
too close to the vent.
Do not leave plastic items on
the cooktop—they may melt if
left too close to the vent.
Oven Moisture
As your oven heats up, the
temperature change of the air
in the oven may cause water
droplets to form on the door
glass. To prevent this, open the
oven door for the first minute
of oven heat-up to let the moist
air out.
