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 guide handy where you can refer to
it, especially during the first weeks of using your new range.
Power Outage —Electric Ignition
CAUTION: DO NOT MAKE ANY ATTEMPT
TO OPERATE THE ELECTRIC IGNITION
OVEN DURING AN ELECTRICAL POWER
FAILURE. The oven or broiler cannot be lit
during a power fadure. 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. This is because the flow of gas
is automatically stopped and will not resume when
power is restored until the glow bar has reached
operating temperature.

Oven Control

Your oven is controlled by a single OVEN CONTROL knob.
It will normally take 30-90 seconds before the flame comes on. After the
oven reaches the selected temperature, the oven burner cycles+ff
completely, then on with a full flame-to maintain the selected temperature.
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. These droplets are harmless and will
evaporate as the oven continues to heat up.
