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.
Before Using Your Oven
Electric Ignition
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. 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 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.
Fluorescent Night Light (on some models) Oven Light
Use the switch on the upper control panel to turn
the light on and off.
Use the switch on the lower control panel to turn the
light on or off.
