USING YOUR OVEN
Oven Shelves
The shelves are designed with stop-locks so when
placed correctly on the shelf supports, they will
stop before coming completely out of the oven and
will not tilt when you are removing food from them
or placing food on them.
When placing cookware on a shelf, pull the shelf out
to the bump on the shelf support. Place the cookware
on the shelf, then slide the shelf back into the oven.
This will eliminate reaching into the hot oven.
To remove a shelf from the
oven, pull it toward you, tilt
the front end upward and pull
the shelf out.
To replace, place the shelf
on the shelf support with the
stop-locks (curved extension of the shelf) facing up
and toward the rear of the oven. Tilt up the front and
push the shelf toward the back of the oven until it
goes past the bump on the shelf support. Then lower
the front of the shelf and push it all the way back.
Before Using Your Oven
1. Look at the controls. Be sure you understand how
to set them properly.
2. Check the oven interior. Look at the shelves. Take
a practice run at removing and replacing them
properly, to give sure, sturdy support.
3. Read over the information and tips that follow.
4. Keep this guide handy so you can refer to it, especially
during the first weeks of using your new range.
NOTE:
You may notice a “burning” or “oily” smell the first
few times you turn your oven on. This is normal in a
new oven and will disappear in a short time. To speed
the process, set a self-clean cycle for a minimum of
three hours. See the Operating the Self-Cleaning
Oven section.

Electric Ignition
The oven burner and broil burner are lit by
electric ignition.
To light either burner, turn the Oven Temperature
knob to the desired temperature. The burner should
ignite within 30-90 seconds.
After the oven reaches the selected temperature, the
oven burner cycles—off completely, then on with a
full flame—to keep the oven temperature controlled.
Power Outage
CAUTION: Do not make any attempt to operate
the electric ignition oven during an electrical
power failure.
The oven or broiler cannot be lit during a power
failure. Gas will not flow unless the glow bar is hot.
If the oven is in use when a power failure occurs,
the oven burner shuts off and cannot be re-lit until
power is restored.
Oven Control Shelf Positions
Your oven is controlled by an
Oven Temperature knob.
It will normally take 30–90
seconds before the flame comes
on. After the oven reaches the
selected temperature, the oven
burner cycles—off completely,
then on with a full flame—to
maintain the selected temperature. The oven has 4 shelf supports
for baking and roasting
identified in this illustration
as A (bottom), B, C and
D (top).
Shelf positions for cooking
are suggested on the Baking,
Roasting and Broiling section.
