USING THE OVEN
IGNITION SYSTEM
The oven features pilot ignition. Be sure all control knobs are
in the OFF position before supplying gas to the appliance.
Be sure gas supply to appliance is on before lighting pilot or
oven burner.
HOW TO LIGHT OVEN PILOT
If the appliance has not been operated for a period of time,
the oven pilot may be difficult to light due to air in the gas line.
To bleed air from the line, follow instructions from page 6
under the section “HOW TO LIGHT SURFACE BURNER”
where it specifically details how to bleed off air from the line.
To light oven pilot:
1. Be sure all controls are in
the OFF position.
2. Push in and turn the
OVEN knob to the PILOT
ON position.
3. Open the oven door, and
locate the oven pilot
(beneath the oven
bottom, on the left side of
the burner).
While
pushing in the knob,
hold a match next to the
oven pilot (see
illustration) for 10-15
seconds or until a small
flame is visible without
needing to continue
pushing in the knob.
NOTE: A delay in the time it takes to light the pilot may
signal a need to bleed air from the line. Reference the
above paragraph “HOW TO LIGHT OVEN PILOT” for
detailed instructions.
4. Once the pilot is lit, leave the OVEN knob in the PILOT
ON position if you wish to use the oven.
The standing pilot will remain lit if the OVEN knob is left
in the PILOT ON position. If the OVEN knob is turned to
the OFF position, gas supply to the pilot will be turned off
and the standing pilot flame will extinguish.
OVEN CHARACTERISTICS
Because each oven has its own personal baking
characteristics, do not expect that your new oven will
perform exactly like your previous oven. You may find that
the cooking times, oven temperatures, and cooking results
differ somewhat from your previous range. Allow a period of
adjustment. If you have questions concerning baking
results, please refer to pages 9, 10 and 11 for additional
information.
OVEN KNOB
OVEN KNOB
The OVEN knob is used to select
and maintain the oven tem-
perature. Push in and turn this
knob
just
to
the
desired
temperature - not to a higher
temperature and then back. This
provides more accurate oven
temperatures.
Turn this knob to the PILOT ON
position if you wish to use the
oven. The oven standby pilot will remain lit. Turn the knob
to OFF if the oven will not be used or when traveling.

SHUTDOWN INSTRUCTIONS

turn the OVEN knob to the OFF position and turn off the main
gas supply. This will turn off the oven pilot.
