Pilotless Ignition

Your range is equipped with pilotless ignition. With this type of ignition system, the gas automatically shuts off and the oven will not operate during a power failure.

A lighted match will not light the oven burner. No attempt should be made to operate the oven during a power failure.

Oven Vent

When the oven is in use, the area near the vent may become hot enough to cause burns. Never block the vent opening.

The oven vent is located below the backguard vent shield on your range.

Oven Bottom

Protect oven bottom against spillovers, especially acidic or sugary spills, as they may discolor the porcelain enamel. Use the correct pan size to avoid spillovers and boilovers. Never place utensils or foil directly on the oven bottom.

Your oven has two racks. They are designed with a lock-stop edge.

To remove:

1. Pull rack straight out until it stops at the lock-stop position.

2. Lift up on the front of the rack and pull out.

To replace:

1.Place rack on the rack support in the oven.

2.Tilt the front end up slightly. Slide rack back until it clears the lock-stop position.

3.Lower front and slide back into the oven.

Do not cover an entire rack with aluminum foil or place foil on the oven bottom. Baking results will be affected and damage may occur to the oven bottom.
