USING YOUR OVEN
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.
Electric Ignition
The oven burner and broil burner are lighted by
electric ignition.
To light either burner, turn the OVEN SET knob to
the desired oven operation and the OVEN TEMP
knob to the desired temperature. 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.
Power Outage
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
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.
Oven Light
The oven light comes on automatically when the door
is opened. Some models have a switch on the lower
control panel that allows you to turn the light on or off
when the door is closed.
Oven Indicator Light
The oven indicator light glows until the oven reaches
your selected temperature, then goes off and on with
the oven burner(s) during cooking.
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.
OVEN SET Control
The OVEN SET control has settings
ovE.s_r
for BAKE, BROIL, TIME BAKE and {__
CLEAN. When you turnthe knob to th, _Z
desired setting, the proper burner is
activated for that operation.
BAKE--Use this setting for all normal oven
operations--for example, for cooking roasts or
casseroles. Only the bottom oven burner operates
during baking.
TIME BAKE--Use this setting to turn the oven
on and off at specified times when you want cooking
to start and stop. See Automatic Oven Timer section.
BROIL--Use this setting for broiling. Only the top
(broil) burner will operate.
CLEAN--Use this setting for the self-cleaning
function only.
OVEN TEMP Control
The OVEN TEMP control maintains
the temperature you set for normal oven
operation as well as for broiling. Push in
and turn to set temperatures or to set into
CLEAN position.
OFF--Shuts off power to the oven controls.
Oven will not operate. The OVEN TEMP knob
should be turned to OFF whenever the oven is
not in use.
For normal oven operation, push in and turn the
knob to the desired temperature. It will normally
take 30-90 seconds before the flame comes on.

oven burner cycles--off completely, then on with a
full flame-to keep the oven temperature controlled.
