OVEN COOKING
Baking And Roasting
NOTES:
➢ You may find that the cooking
times and temperatures vary
slightly from your old oven. This
is normal. Every oven has its
own characteristics.
➢ During some extended oven
cooking operations, you may
hear a "popping" sound when
the oven burner cycles. This is
normal.
➢ See roasting chart in "Cooking
Made Simple" booklet for rec-
ommended roasting tempera-
tures and times and baking and
roasting tips.
PILOTLESS IGNITION
Your range is equipped with pilotless
ignition. With this type of ignition sys-
tem, 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.

SETTING THE KNOB
CONTROL FOR BAKING
AND ROASTING
The OVEN TEMP
knob located on the
front of the range is
used to select and
maintain the oven
t e m p e r a t u r e .
Always turn this
knob just TO the desired temperature.
Do not turn to a higher temperature
and then back.
1. When cool, position rack in oven.
2. Push in and turn OVEN TEMP knob
to desired temperature. Allow 10-15
minutes for preheating.
3. Place food in center of oven.
4. Check food for doneness at mini-
mum time in recipe. Cook longer if
necessary.
5. Remove food from the oven and
turn the OVEN TEMP knob to OFF.
Oven Bottom
Protect oven bottom against spillovers,
especially acidic or sugary spills, as
they may discolor the porcelain enam-
el. Use the correct pan size to avoid
spillovers and boilovers. Never place
utensils or foil directly on the oven bot-
tom.
The oven bottom may be removed for
easier cleaning.
TO REMOVE:
When cool, re-
move the oven
2
racks. Slide the
two
catches,
located at each
rear corner of
the oven bot-
tom, toward the front of the oven.
Lift the rear edge of the oven bottom
slightly, then slide it back until the front
edge of the oven bottom clears the
oven front frame. Remove oven bottom
from oven.
TO REPLACE: Fit the front edge of the
oven bottom into the oven front frame.
Lower the rear of the oven bottom and
slide the two catches back to lock the
oven bottom in place.
Oven Vent
When the oven is in use, never
block the vent opening.
The oven vent is located at the base of
the backguard. When the oven is in
use, this area may become hot enough
to cause burns. Do not place plastics
near the vent opening as heat from the
vent could distort or melt the plastic.
Oven Light
Push the switch on the
control panel to turn the
oven light on and off.
