ALIGNMENTS AND ADJUSTMENTS, Continued 2. Gas System Operating Characteristics Cooking on your new gas range may differ slightly than on previous ranges because of a new system designed to better regulate temperature control. Most ovens have a burner that cycles on then off to maintain an average temperature. Gas ranges with standing pilot ignition have a revolutionary thermostat that continually adjusts gas flow to hold a constant temperature without completely shutting off the burner.

ALIGNMENTS AND ADJUSTMENTS, Continued Ovens with Pilotless Electric Ignition: Glow Bar Ignition System (-7 Models) System Operation The glow-bar ignition system consists of three main components: 1. The thermostat (or range control). 2. The glow-bar ignitor. 3. The oven gas valve (also called the safety valve).
OPERATION OF RANGE Using Your Range The range may have only part of the features described within this manual. If your range has some features which are not covered in this manual, these features will be covered in other enclosed literature. Top Burner Operation Note: When boiling food, the highest temperature that can be reached is the boiling point.

Baking Follow the recipe instructions when baking. Use correct ingredients, measure them carefully, and use the correct type and size of utensil suggested in the recipe. Remember to preheat properly. Avoid opening of the oven door as much as possible when baking. When baking cakes in glass baking dishes, lower the oven temperature 25ºF to prevent browning of the bottom and sides before the top becomes brown.
To protect the oven bottom surface, place a piece of aluminum foil slightly larger than the baking dish on the rack below to catch any boilovers. It should not completely cover the rack as this would cause uneven heat in the oven. Aluminum foil should not be placed on the oven bottom.
OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT Continuous Cleaning Feature If your oven has the continuous cleaning feature, it will have a dull gray finish with white speckles that has been blended with a special catalytic material. (If the oven has a glossy finish, it is standard porcelain enamel without the continuous cleaning feature.) Before Using Your Oven–Read These Instructions Carefully.
