Oven Light
The oven light automatically comes on when the
door is opened. When the door is closed, press
the Oven Light pad to turn the oven light on and
off. A beep will sound every time the Oven Light pad is
pressed.
Oven Fans
A convection fan is used to circulate hot air in the oven
when the convection feature is selected. It automatically turns
on approximately five minutes after the Convect pad is
pressed and will turn off when Convect is canceled.
A cooling fan will automatically turn on during all broiling
and some baking operations. It is used to keep internal parts
on the control panel cool. The fan will automatically turn off
when parts have cooled. The fan may continue to operate
after the oven has been turned off. This is normal.
Note: The convection fan will automatically stop when the
oven door is opened.
CAUTION
Oven Racks
• 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 (three if convection). All racks are
designed with a lock-stop edge.
To remove:
1. Pull rack straight out until
it stops at the lock-stop
position.
2. Lift up on the front of the
rack and pull out.
To replace:
1. Place rack on the rack supports 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.

non-fatty foods and for

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 Cooking
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 at the rear of the cooking
surface.
Do not place
plastics near the
vent opening as
heat from the vent
could distort or
melt the plastic.
OVEN VENT
LOCATION
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
