settings, then turn the control knob
down to continue cooking.
Use LITE to light the burner. After the
burner lights, turn control back to a

the ignition.
Use a high setting to start food
cooking; to bring liquids to a boil.
Use a medium setting to continue
cooking or to fry chicken or pancakes;
for gravy, puddings and icing; to cook
large amounts of vegetables.
Use a low setting to keep food warm
until ready to serve.
NOTE: Do not cook with the control in
the LITE position.
The electronic oven controls
There are three parts in the oven control
section:
- The digital display.
- The command buttons.
- The Time/Temp Set Knob and Set/
Cancel button.
Instructions for each oven control are
covered on the following pages. Read
them carefully.
When you first plug in the range, the
display will show four flashing "8"s. If
after you set the clock (page 5) the
display again shows four flashing "8"s,
your electricity was off for a while. Reset
the clock.

warning
Burn, Fire And Explosion Hazard
■ Burner flame should not extend
beyond the edge of the cooking
utensil. The flame can burn you
and cause poor cooking results.
■ Be sure all control knobs are
turned to OFF when you are not
cooking. Someone could be
burned or a fire could start if a
burner is accidentally left ON.
■ If the flame should go out while
cooking, or if there is a strong gas
odor, turn the burners OFF. Wait
five minutes for the gas odor to
disappear, before relighting
burner. If gas odor is still present,
see safety note on page 2. Failure
to follow these precautions could
result in explosion or fire.
■ Do not attempt to light the oven
burner during a power failure.
Personal injury could result.

Command buttons
The command buttons tell the oven what
to do and in what order. A few
examples:
- Clock tells the oven you are going to
set the clock.
- Set/Cancel tells the oven to turn off.
Each command button (except Set/
Cancel) has its own indicator. The
indicator comes on when you touch the
command buttons.
