OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
USING THE OVEN
Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model.
OVEN CONTROLS
•
Your oven is controlled by an OVEN TEMP knob. It can take up to 90 seconds before the
fl
ame comes on.
•
After the oven reaches the selected temperature, the oven burner maintains the selected
temperature.
OVEN TEMP
OVEN SHELF POSITIONS
Before you begin...
The shelves have stop-locks, so that when placed correctly on the shelf supports (A through
D), they will stop before coming completely out, and will not tilt.
When placing and removing cookware, pull the shelf out to the bump on the shelf support.
To remove a shelf,
pull it toward you, tilt the front end up and pull it out.
To replace,
place the end of the shelf (stop-locks) on the support, tilt up the front and push the shelf in.
NOTE:
The shelf is not designed to slide out at the special low shelf (A) position.
POWER OUTAGE
•
The oven or broiler cannot be lit during a power failure.
•
If the oven is in use when a power failure occurs, the oven burner shuts off. This is because the
fl
ow of gas is
automatically stopped and will not resume until power is restored.
To avoid possible burns, place the shelves in the desired position before you turn the oven on.
WARNING
When you are using a rack in the lowest position (A), you will need to use caution
when pulling the rack out. We recommend that you pull the rack out several inches
and then, using two pot holders, pull the rack out by holding the sides of it. The rack
is low and you can be burned if you put your hand in the middle of the rack and pull
all the way out.
UPPER OVEN VENT
Your oven is vented through ducts at the rear of the range. Do not block these ducts when
cooking in the oven - it is important that the
fl
ow of hot air from the oven and fresh air to the
oven burner be uninterrupted. Avoid touching the vent openings or nearby surfaces during
oven or broiler operations - they may become hot.
•
Handles of pots and pans on the cooktop may become hot if left too close to the vent.
•
Do not leave plastic or
fl
ammable items on the cooktop - they may melt or ignite if left too
close to the vent.
•
Do not leave closed containers of the cooktop. The pressure in closed containers may
increase, which may cause them to burst.
•
Metal items will become very hot if they are left on the cooktop, and could cause burns.
Plastic items on the
cooktop may melt if left
too close to the vent. Vent
appearance and location
can vary.
