OVEN CHARACTERISTICS
- Because each oven has its own personal baking
characteristics, do not expect that your new oven will
perform exactly like your previous oven.
• You may find that the cooking times, oven
temperatures, and cooking results differ somewhat from
your previous range.
• Allow a period of adjustment.
• If you have questions concerning baking results,please
refer to pages 7,8 and 9 for additional information.

supplying gas to the appliance.
°_ Your appliance features pilotless ignition. A g[o bar will
light the oven burner.

operate during a .power failure or if the oven is
disconnected from the wall outlet.

a power failure.
