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 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 Light
Press the oven light pad to turn the oven light on
and off. The oven light is only activated by this
switch.

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. Do not
place utensils or aluminum foil directly on the oven
bottom.

Oven Racks

CAUTION
• Do not attempt to change the rack position when the oven
is hot.
• Do not use the oven for storing food or cookware.
The oven has two racks. All racks
are designed with a lock-stop
edge.
To remove:
1. Pull rack straight out until it
stops at the lock-stop position.
OVEN VENT
LOCATION
Do not place
plastics near the
vent opening as
heat from the vent
could distort or
melt the plastic.
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.
Never 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.
