IMPORTANT: READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
This appliance is equipped with a 3-prong grounding plug for your
protection against shock hazard and should be plugged directly into a properly
grounded receptacle. DO NOT cut or remove the grounding prong from this plug.
For personal safety, this oven must be properly grounded. For maximum safety,
the power cord must be plugged into a 120V—60 Hz. outlet that is correctly
polarized and properly grounded.
If a two-prong wall receptacle is the only available outlet, it is the personal
responsibility of the consumer to have it replaced with a properly grounded three-
prong wall receptacle installed by a qualified electrician.
DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES CUT OR REMOVE THE THIRD ROUND
GROUNDING PRONG FROM THE POWER CORD PLUG. SEE THE INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS PACKAGED WITH THIS APPLIANCE FOR COMPLETE INSTALLATION
AND GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS. DO NOT OPERATE THE APPLIANCE USING A TWO-
PRONG ADAPTER OR AN EXTENSION CORD.
Cooktop and
Oven Ignition
To Manually Light Cooktop Burners with Spark Ignition
When you turn the control knob to LITE, all ignitors make an electric spark (a ticking
sound) which lights the selected burner.
During a power failure, the burners will not light automatically. In an emergency,
a cooktop burner may be lit with a match by following the steps below:
1.
Light a match and hold the flame near the burner you want to light. Wooden
matches work best.
2.
Push in and turn the control knob slowly. Be sure you are turning the correct
knob for the burner you are lighting.
Note: If the burner does not light within 5 seconds, turn the knob off
and wait one minute before trying again.
Oven Ignition
When you turn the oven on, the glow bar igniter begins to heat. When the lighter
is hot enough, in about 1 minute, the gas flows into the burner and is ignited.
The igniter glows bright orange when hot. It cycles on and off with the thermostat
and will glow whenever the burner is on.
During a power failure,
the oven burners cannot be lit and you
should not try to do so. The oven burner
valves will not open up and will prevent
the gas from flowing through the burner
valves to the burners.
Avoid fire hazard or
electrical shock. Do not use an adaptor
plug, an extension cord, or remove
grounding prong from electrical power
cord. Failure to follow this warning can
cause serious injury, fire or death.
