BEFORE FIRST USE
Before using the oven for the first time, it must be "burned in" to release any odors that might result from
heating the new surfaces in the chamber.
1. Using a clean damp cloth, wipe the inside of the oven, including the racks.
2. Close the oven doors, push the Master Switch to ON, turn the Thermostat to 300°F (149°C), and
allow the oven to cycle for 2 hours or until no odor is detected, before pushing the Master Switch
OFF.
LIGHTING THE WKG SERIES OVENS
1. Turn the main gas supply ON.
2. Turn the gas control valve (located behind the small door on the lower front panel) ON.
3. Push the Master Switch ON and turn the Thermostat to its maximum setting. Both the ON and
HEAT lights should come on. If the HEAT light is not on, make sure the oven door(s) are closed.
4. If the oven fails to light, the red NO IGNITION light will be lit and remain on. Push the Master
Switch OFF. Turn the gas supply off.
5. Wait 5 minutes before repeating Steps 1 through 4.
If the oven does not light after three trials, turn off the main gas valve and call a qualified servicer.
