USING YOUR OVEN

Before Using Your Oven

1.Look at the controls. Be sure you understand

how to set them properly. Read over the directions for the Oven Controls so you understand how to use them.

2.Check the oven interior. Look at the shelves.

Take a practice run at removing and replacing them properly, to give sure, sturdy support.

3.Read over information and tips that follow.

4.Keep this guide handy so you can refer to it, especially during the first weeks of using your new range.

NOTE:

●You may notice a “burning” or “oily” smell the

first few times you turn your oven on. This is normal in a new oven and will disappear in a short time.

To speed the process, set a self-clean cycle for a minimum of 3 hours. See the Operating the Self- Cleaning Oven section.

“A fan may automatically turn on and off to cool internal parts. This is normal and the fan may continue to run even after the oven is turned off.

Electric Ignition

The oven burner and broil burner are lighted by electric ignition.

To light either burner, touch the pad for the desired function and 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 burner cycles—off 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 OUTAGE. Neither the oven nor the broiler can be lit during an electrical power outage. Gas will not flow unless the glow bar is hot.

If the oven is in use when a power outage 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 that when placed correctly on the shelf supports, they will stop before coming out completely from the oven, and will not tilt when removing food from 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.

To replace, place the shelf on the shelf support with the stop-locks (curved extension of the shelf) facing up toward the rear of the oven. Tilt up the front and push the shelf toward the back of the oven until it goes past the bump on the shelf support. Then lower the front of the shelf and push it all the way back.
