The shutter for the oven burner is near the back
wall of the oven and behind the broiler drawer.
CHECK IGNITION OF OVEN BURNER
Your oven is designed to operate quietly and
automatically. To operate the oven, turn the OVEN
CONTROL knob to a setting above 200°F. After
30–90 seconds, the oven burner will ignite and
burn until the set temperature is reached. The
oven burner will continue to cycle on and off as
necessary to maintain the oven at the temperature
indicated by the OVEN CONTROL knob.
Electric ignition models require electrical
power to operate. The oven cannot be lit during a
power outage. Gas will not flow unless the glow
bar is hot.
If the oven is in use when a power outage occurs,
the burner will shut off and cannot be re-lit until
power is restored.

ADJUSTING THE AIR ADJUSTMENT SHUTTER
To determine if the bottom burner flames are
burning properly, first remove the oven bottom
and burner baffle.
To remove the oven bottom:
1. Remove screws holding down rear of oven
bottom.
2. Grasp oven bottom at finger slots on each side.
3. Lift rear of oven bottom enough to clear the
lip of range frame, then pull it out of the oven.
4. Remove the burner baffle so that the burner
flame can be observed.
With the oven bottom removed, properly
adjusted flames should have approximately 1
²
blue cones and, if range is supplied with natural
gas, should burn with no yellow tipping. (With
most LP gas, small yellow tips at the end of
outer cones are normal.) Flames should not lift
off burner ports. If lifting is observed, gradually
reduce air shutter opening until flames are
stabilized.

To adjust the air shutter:
To adjust the flow of air to the burner, loosen the
Phillips-head screw and rotate the shutter to
allow more or less air into the burner tube.
If the flame is yellow in color, increase air
shutter opening size. If the flame is a distinct
blue, reduce the air shutter opening size.
To adjust loosen lock screw, reposition air
shutter, and tighten lock screw. Replace oven
bottom.
