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 book handy where you can refer to it,
especially during the first weeks of using your new range.

The oven burner and broil burner are lighted by
electric ignition.
To light either burner, press the pad for the desired
function then 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+ff
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 Shelves
The shelves are
designed with
stop-
locks so when placed
correctly on the shelf
suppor~, they will stop
before coming
completely out of the
oven and will not tilt
when you are removing
food from them or
placing food on them.
When placing cookware on a shelf, pull the shelf out
to the “stop” position. Place the cookware on the
shelf, then slide the shelf back into the oven. This will
eliminate reaching into
the hot oven.
To remove a shelf from
the oven, pull it toward
you, tilt the front end
upward and pull the
shelf out.
To replace,
place the
Y
Ill
shelf on the shelf
support with the stop-locks (curved extension of the
shel~ facing up and toward the rear of the oven. Tilt
up the front and push the shelf toward the back of the
oven until it goes past “stop” on the oven wall.
Then lower the front of the shelf and push it all
the way back.
Shelf Positions
The oven has five shelf
supports for normal
baking and roasting
identified in this
illustration as A
(bottom), B, C, D and
E (top). It also has a
special low shelf
position (R) for roasting
extra large items, such
as a
large
turkey—the
shelf is-not designed to
slide out at this position.
Shelf positions for cooking
are suggested on Baking
and Roasting pages.
