Troubleshooting Tips
Plastic items on the cooktop may
melt if left too close to the vent.
Vent appearance and location vary.
The oven has 5 rack positions.
It also has a special low rack
position (R) for extra large items,
such as a large turkey.
To avoid possible burns, place the racks in the desired position before you turn the oven on.
Oven Control
Your oven is controlled by a single
OVEN
CONTROL
knob.
It will normally take 30–90 seconds before
the flame comes on. After the oven reaches
the selected temperature, the oven burner
cycles—off completely, then on with a
full flame—to maintain the selected
temperature.
Using the oven.

Before You Begin…
The racks have stop-locks, so that when
placed correctly on the rack supports
(A through E), 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.
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.
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.
■
Handles of pots and pans on the cooktop may
become hot if left too close to the vent.
■
Do not leave plastic or flammable items on the
cooktop—they may melt or ignite if left too close
to the vent.
■
Do not leave closed containers on the cooktop.
The pressure in closed containers may increase,
which may cause them to burst.
■
Metal items will become very hot if they are left
on the cooktop, and could cause burns.
Power Outage
(electric ignition models)
CAUTION:
Do not make any attempt
to operate the electric ignition oven
during an electrical power failure.
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.
Oven Light
(on some models)
Use the switch on the
lower control panel
to
turn the light on or off.
