Oven Operation

OVEN PREHEAT

Preheating is necessary for most cooking because timing is more likely to coincide with the recipe when the oven is preheated.

To preheat, turn the control knob directly to the oven temperature. Do not turn it to a higher temperature and then back to the desired setting. Setting a higher tempera- ture first and then lowering it will not preheat the oven any faster.

When the oven indicator light turns off, the oven tempera- ture has been reached. Refer to the illustration below. Place the food to be cooked inside the oven. If the door is left open for any length of time, heat will escape and the temperature inside will be less than what is set.

The oven indicator light will cycle on and off as the ther- mostat needs more heat to maintain the set temperature.

BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

Before using the oven of your gas range for the first time, it needs to go through a “burn in” process. Set the oven temperature at 250°F (120°C) and operate for one hour. At the end of the hour, reset the oven to 500°F (260°C) and heat for a second hour. Turn the oven off and allow it to cool gradually with the door closed.

This process will burn off any residual oil and grease used in the manufacturing process. A small amount of smoke and odor may be noticed during the initial break-in period
