Oven Cooking

Oven Lighting

Open oven door. There are 2 holes in the oven bottom so you can view the oven flame. Push in and hold down the oven knob and select the desired oven temperature. You should hear sparking until the oven flame ignites. You must continue to keep oven knob depressed for 5-6 seconds after the oven ignition has occurred. The extra 5-6 seconds is to heat up the safety thermocouple to allow proper oven control. (releasing the knob too early will extinguish the flame.) All units feature flame sensing auto shutoff, so if for any reason the flame goes out, the gas supply to the oven is shut off automatically!

Please note: the first time the oven is used, the oven lighting procedure may have to be repeated 2-4 times to push out any air in the gas lines.

If the oven flame does not light in 5-6 seconds, STOP. Release oven knob, this will prevent any fur- ther gas from going into the oven. Wait at least 1 minute before trying to light oven again. If you are still not successful see "trouble shooting guide".

Range Thermostat

The temperature in the oven is transmitted to the thermostat by the sensor tube located at the rear of the oven. It must always be in position on its mount- ing clips and should not be bent. The sensor causes the burner to maintain the desired oven temperature.

Broil

When broiling, the oven control knob should be set to the broil symbol or the 500°F (265°C) setting on the knob. The broiler oven drawer should be left open 3 inches during broiling to allow the burner to stay on to it's highest position. This allows you to keep an eye on your food. If the door is closed during broiling, the temperature in the oven could reach 500°F causing the oven burner to cycle down to the "low position", which will affect your broiling time.
