The oven burner and broil burner on these ranges are lighted by electric ignition. The oven and broiler cannot be operated in the event of a power failure.

To light the burners, turn the OVEN SET and OVEN TEMP knobs to the desired function and temperature. The burner should ignite within 60 seconds.

CAUTION: DO N(YI’MAKE ANY ATTEMPT TO OPERATE THE ELECT’RIC IGNITION OVEN DURING AN ELE(T.RICAL POWER FAILURE. Resumption of electrical power when OVEN TEMP and OVEN SET controls are in any position other than OFF will result in automatic ignition of the oven or broiler burner and could cause severe bums if, at the time, you were attempting to light the burner with a match.

Oven Vent

Your oven is vented through ducts at the rear of the range (see page 6). Do not block these ducts when cooking in the oven—it is important that the flow of hot air horn the oven and fresh air to the oven burner be uninterrupted. Avoid touching the vent openings or nearby surfaces during oven or broiler operation— they may become hot.

●Vent openings and nearby surfaces may become hot. Do not touch them.

●Handles of pots and pans on the cooktop may become hot if left too close to the vent.

The shelves are designed with stop- Iocks so when placed correctly on the shelf supports, they wiIl 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 the shelves from the oven, pull them toward you, tilt

front end upward and pull them out. “

Afier the oven reaches the selected temperature, the oven burner cycles— off completely, then on with a fuIl flame-to keep the oven temperature controlled.
