Oven Lights
The oven lights automatically come on whenever an oven
door is opened. When the door is closed, press the Oven Light
pad to turn the oven light on or off. A beep will
sound every time the Oven Light pad is pressed.
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 aluminum foil directly on either oven bottom. Do
not place pans on the oven bottom while baking or
roasting in the upper or lower oven. You may place pans
on oven bottom for broiling in upper oven only.
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 Bake or Convect Roast pads are
pressed and will turn off when convection 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 on your
range.
When high moisture foods are cooked in the upper oven,
steam may be visible coming from the oven vent. This is
normal.
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.
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.
Do not place
plastics near the
vent opening as
heat from the vent
could distort or
melt the plastic.
