oven or broiler burner and could cause severe burns

with a match.
An oven burner in use when an electrical power
failure occurs will continue to operate normally.
Oven Controls
The controls for your lower oven are marked OVEN
SET and OVEN TEMP.
SET
The OVEN SET control has settings for BAKE,
BROIL, T. BAKE, CLEAN and OFF. When you turn
the knob to the desired setting, the proper burner is
activated for the 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.
BROIL—Use this setting for broiling. Only the top
(broil) burner will operate.
T. BAKE—When you use this setting, the oven will
turn on and off at the times you select.
CLEAN—Use this setting for the self-cleaning
functions only.
NOTE: The microwave oven will not operate when
the OVEN SET knob for the lower oven is in the
CLEAN position.
OFF—Shuts off power to the oven controls. Oven
will not operate. The OVEN SET and OVEN TEMP
controls should be turned to OFF whenever the oven
is not in use.
The OVEN TEMP control maintains the temperature
you set for normal oven operation as well as for
broiling.
For normal oven operation, push in and turn the knob
to the desired temperature. Temperatures are marked
in 25° increments. It will normally take 30 to 60
seconds before the flame comes on.
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.
