Oven Cooking
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 Fans
A convection fan is used to circulate hot air in the oven when the convection feature is selected. It automatically turns on approximately five minutes after the Convect pad is pressed and will turn off when Convect is canceled.
A cooling fan will automatically turn on during all broiling and some baking operations. It is used to keep internal parts on the control panel cool. The fan will automatically turn off when parts have cooled. The fan may continue to operate after the oven has been turned off. This is normal.
Note: The convection fan will automatically stop when the oven door is opened.
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 at the rear of the cooking surface.
OVEN VENT
LOCATION
Do not place plastics near the vent opening as heat from the vent could distort or melt the plastic.
Oven Light
The oven light automatically comes on when the door is opened. When the door is closed, press the Oven Light pad to turn the oven light on and
off. A beep will sound every time the Oven Light pad is pressed.
