Oven Cooking Pilotless Ignition Your range is equipped with pilotless ignition. 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 Fan A convection fan is used to circulate hot air in the oven when the convection feature is selected. It automatically turns on 5 minutes after the Convect pad is pressed and will turn off when Convect is canceled. Note: The convection fan will automatically stop when the oven door is opened. Oven Vent When the oven is in use the area near the vent may become hot enough to cause burns. Never block the vent opening. The oven vent is located below the backguard vent shield on your range. OVEN VENT LOCATION Do not place plastics near the vent opening as heat from the vent could distort or melt the plastic. Oven Light The oven light automatically comes on when the door is opened. When the door is closed, press the Oven Light switch to turn the oven light on and off. Oven Bottom Protect oven bottom against spillovers, especially acidic or sugary spills, as they may discolor the porcelain enamel. Use the correct pan size to avoid spillovers and boilovers. Do not place utensils or aluminum foil directly on the oven bottom. Oven Racks CAUTION • Do not attempt to change the rack position when the oven is hot. • Do not use the oven for storing food or cookware. The oven has two racks (three if convection). All racks are designed with a lock-stop edge. To remove: 1. Pull rack straight out until it stops at the lock-stop position. 2. Lift up on the front of the rack and pull out. To replace: 1. Place rack on the rack supports in the oven. 2. Tilt the front end up slightly. Slide rack back until it clears the lock-stop position. 3. Lower front and slide back into the oven. Do not cover an entire rack with aluminum foil or place foil on the oven bottom. Baking results will be affected and damage may occur to the oven bottom.
