To operate the oven, turn the OWN CONTROL knob to a setting above 200° R After 30-90 seconds, the oven burner will ignite and burn until the set temperature is reached. The oven burner will continue to cycle on and off as necessary to maintain the oven at the temperature indicated by the OWN CONTROL knob.

Electric ignition models require electrical power to operate. The oven cannot be lit during a power outige. Gas will not flow unless the glow bar is hot.

If the oven is in use when a power outage occurs, the burner will shut off and cannot be relit until power is restored.
