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, press the pad for the desired
function and press
the INCREASE or DECREASE
pad until the desired temperature is displayed. 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 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.
