Wlectrlc lgnltlon

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.

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.
