Oven Cooking
Pilotless Ignition
Your range is equipped with pilotless ig-
nition. 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 Vent

When the oven is in use, never block the
vent opening.
The oven vent is located at the base of the
backguard. When the oven is in use, this
area may become hot enough to cause
burns. Do not place plastics near the vent
opening as heat from the vent could dis-
tort or melt the plastic.

Oven Light

(select models)
Push the switch on the control panel
to turn the oven light on and off. On select
models the oven light automatically comes
on whenever the oven door is opened.

Oven Racks

CAUTION:
Do not attempt
to change the rack position when the
oven is hot.
Your oven has two racks. They are de-
signed with a lock-stop edge.
To remove:
Pull rack straight out
until it stops
at the lock-
stop position;
lift up on the
front of the
rack and pull
out.

To replace:
Place rack on the rack
support in the oven; tilt the front end up
slightly; slide rack back until it clears the
lock-stop position; lower front and slide
back into the oven.
Do not cover an entire rack with alumi-
num foil or place foil on the oven bottom.
Baking results will be affected and dam-
age may occur to the oven bottom.
