cThe smaller burner (right rear position) will give

the best simmer results. It offers precise cooking performance for delicate foods, such as sauces or foods which need to cook over low heat for a long time. It can be turned down to a very low simmer setting.

● The right front burner is higher powered than the

others and will bring liquids to a boil quicker.

When one burner is turned to LITE, all the burners spark. Do not attempt to disassemble or clean around any burner while another burner is on. sh&k may result, which could cause you to knock over hot cookware.

● Donot operate a burner for an extended period of

time without codkware on the grate. The finish on the grate may chip without cookware to absorb the heat.

How to Select Flame Size

Watch the flame, not the knob, as you reduce heat. The flame size on a gas burner should match the

cookware you are using. FOR SAFE HANDLING OF COOKWARE NEVER

LET THE FLAME EXTEND UP THE SIDES OF THE COOKWAIW.

Any flame larger than the bottom of the cookware is

wasted and only serwx to heat the handle.

place your hand, a pot holder, cleaning cloths or other materials on them.

●:4 Before Using Your Oven

Be sure you understand how to set the controls properly. Practice removing and replacing the shelves while the oven is cool. Read the information and tips on the following pages. Keep this guide handy where you can refer to it, especially during the first weeks of using your new range.

Electric Ignition

Power Outage

CAUTION: Do not make any attempt to operate the electric ignition

oven during an electrical power failure. The oven or broiler cannot be lit during a power failure. Gas will not flow

unless the glow bar is hot. If the oven is in use when a power failure occurs, the oven burner shuts

off and cannot be re-lit until power is restored. This is because the flow of gas is automatically stopped and will not resume when power is restored until the glow bar has reached operating temperature.

USING YOUR OVEN

USING YOUR OVEN

Oven Vents

The oven is vented through duct openings at the rear of the cooktop. See the Features section. Do not block these openings when cooking in the oven—it is important that the flow of hot air from the oven and fksh air to the oven burners be uninterrupted.

● The vent openings and

nearby surfaces may become ho~ Do not touch them.

Oven Shelves

The shelves are designed with stop-locks so when

When placing cookware on a shelf, pull the shelf out to the bump on the shelf support. Place the cookware on the shelf, then slide the shelf back into the oven. This will eliminate reaching into the hot oven.

To remove a shelf fkom the oven, pull it toward you,

tilt the front end upward and pull the shelf out.

To replacq place the shelf on the shelf support with

the stop-locks (curved extension of the shelf) facing up and toward the rear of the oven. Tilt up the front

and push the shelf toward the back of the oven until it goes past the bump on the shelf support. Then lower the front of the shelf and push it all the way back.

Vent appearance and location vary

(continued)

● Handles of pots and pans on the cooktop may

become hot if left too close to the ven~

● Metal items will beeome very hot if they are left

on the cooktop and could cause burns.

● Do not leave any items on the cooktop. The hot air

from the vent may ignite flammable items and will increase pressure in closed containers, which may cause them to burst.

Bump

Shelf Positions

The oven has five shelf supports for baking, roasting and broiling identified in this illustration

as A (6&tom), B, C; D and E (top). It also has a

special low shelf position (R) for roasting extra

large items, such as a large turkey-the shelf is not

designed to slide out at this position. Shelf positions

for cooking are suggested in the Baking, Roasting

and Broiling sections.
