LOCATION
Oven Light
Press the Oven Light switch to turn the oven light
on and off. The oven light is only activated by this
switch.
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.
CAUTION
Oven Racks
• 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. 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.
Never 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.
Rack Positions
RACK 5: Use for broiling
thin, non-fatty foods.

jelly roll pan, layer cakes, custard pies, frozen convenience

Baking Layer Cakes on Two Racks
For best results when baking
cakes on two racks, use racks
2 and 4.
Place the cakes on the rack
as shown.
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.
Note: Food should be checked for doneness at minimum
suggested bake time.
MULTIPLE RACK COOKING:
Two rack: Use rack positions 2 and 4, or 1 and 4.
Note: Never place pans directly on the oven bottom.
Cooling Fan
A cooling fan will automatically turn on during all broiling and
some baking operations. It is used to keep internal parts on
the control panel cool. The fan will automatically turn off
when parts have cooled. The fan may continue to operate
after the oven has been turned off. This is normal.
