Oven Cooking, cont.

Pilotless Ignition

(select models)

Your range is equipped with pilotless ig- nition. 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, never block the vent opening.

The oven vent is located at the base of the backguard. When the oven is in use, this area may become hot enough to cause burns. Do not place plastics near the vent opening as heat from the vent could dis- tort or melt the plastic.

Oven Light

(select models)

Pushtheswitchonthecontrolpanel to turn the oven light on and off. On select models the oven light automatically comes on whenever the oven door is opened.

Oven Racks

CAUTION: Do not attempt to change the rack position when the oven is hot.

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

To remove: Pull rack straight out until it stops

at the lock- stop position; lift up on the front of the rack and pull out.

To replace: Place rack on the rack support in the oven; tilt the front end up

slightly; slide rack back until it clears the lock-stop position; lower front and slide back into the oven.

Do not cover an entire rack with alumi- num foil or place foil on the oven bottom. Baking results will be affected and dam-

age may occur to the oven bottom.
