EHectdc Ugnition

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

To light either burner, touch the pad for the desired function and press & hold or tap INCREASE or DECREASE pad until the desired temperature is dis- played° The burner should ignite within 60 second&

After the oven reaches the selected temperature, the oven burner cycles--off completely, then on with a full flame--to keep the oven temperature controlled

CAUTION: DO NQT MAKE ANY ATTEMPT TO OPERATE THE ELECTRIC IGNITION OVEN DUR_ ING AN ELECTRICAL POWER FAILURE. The oven or broiler cannot be tit 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 Vents

The oven is vented through duct openings at the rear of the cooktop (see page 33) Do not block these

openings when cooking in the oven--it is important that the flow of hot air from the oven and fresh air to

the oven burners be uninterrupted.

o The 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.

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

o Metal items will be-

come very hot if they are left on the cooktop and could cause burns,

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

Oven ShehJes

The shelves are designed with stopqocks so when placed correctly on the shelf supports, they will stop before coming com- pletely 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 win eliminate reaching into the hot oven

To remove a shelf from the oven, put! the shelf toward you, tilt front end upward and pull the shelf out,

3"o reptace, place shelf on shelf support with stop- locks (curved extension under shelf) facing up and

toward rear of oven Tilt up front and push shelf toward back of oven until it goes past "stop" on oven

wall. Then lower front of shelf and push it all the way back,

Sheff Positions

The oven has five shelf

supports for normal bak-

ing and roasting--A (bot- tom), B, C, D and E (top) It also has a special low

shelf position, (R) for roasting extra large items, such as a large turkey Shelf positions for cooking are suggested on Baking and Roasting pages.

Oven Moisture

As your oven heats up, the temperature change of the air in the oven may cause water droplets to form on the door glass (on models so equipped).

These droplets are harmless and will evaporate as the oven continues to heat up..
