Oven Vent

Safety

Your oven is vented through one vent located toward the rear of the range. Do not block this vent when cooking in the oven—it is important that the flow of hot air from 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.

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

Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop— they may melt if left too close to the vent.

Do not leave any items on the cooktop. The hot air from the vent may ignite flammable items and will increase pressure in closed containers, which may cause them to burst.

Metal items will become very hot if they are left on the cooktop, and could cause burns.

Instructions Operating

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. This is because the flow of gas is automatically stopped and will not resume when power is restored until the glow bar has reached operating temperature.
