Using the ovens.
To avoid possible burns, place the racks in the desired position before you turn the oven on.
Before you begin^
The oven has 3 shelf positions.
It also has a special low shelf
position (Rl for extra large items,
such as a large turkey.
The racks have stop-locks, so that when placed
correctly on the rack supports (A through C),
they will stop before coming completely out,
and will not tilt.
When placing and removing cookware, pull the
rack out to the bump on the rack support.
ACAUTION
When you are using
a rack in the lowest position (R), you will
need to use caution when pulling the rack
out. We recommend that you pull the rack
out several inches and then, using two pot
holders, pull the rack out by holding the
sides of it. The rack is low and you can be
burned if you put your hand in the middle of
the rack and pull all the way out. Be careful
not to burn your hand on the door when
using the rack in the lowest position (R).
To remove a rack, pull it toward you, tilt the
front end up and pull it out.
To replace, place the end of the rack (stop-
locks) on the support, tilt up the front and push
the rack in.
NOTE: The rack is not designed to slide out at
the special low rack (R) position.
Plastic Items on the cooktop may
melt if left too close to the vent.
Vent appearance and location vary.
Upper Oven Vent
Your oven is vented through ducts at the rear
of the range. Do not block these ducts when
cooking in the oven—it is important that the
flow of hot air from the oven and fresh air
to the oven burner be uninterrupted. Avoid
touching the vent openings or nearby surfaces
during oven or broiler operation—they may
become hot.
I Handles of pots and pans on the cooktop
may become hot if left too close to the vent.
I Do not leave plastic or flammable items on
the cooktop—they may melt or ignite if left
too close to the vent.
I Do not leave closed containers on the
cooktop. The pressure in closed containers
may increase, which may cause them
to burst.
I Metal items will become very hot if they are
left on the cooktop, and could cause burns.
Power Outage
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. This is because
the flow of gas is automatically stopped
and will not resume when power is restored
until the glow bar has reached operating
temperature.
Upper Oven Light
Touch the Oven Light pad on the upper control
panel to turn the light on or off.
