Oven Cooking

Baking and
Roasting
Notes . . .
• During some extended oven cook-
ing operations, you may hear a
"popping" sound when the oven
burner cycles. This is normal.
• See roasting chart in "Cooking
Made Simple" booklet for recom-
mended roasting temperatures
and times and baking and roast-
ing tips.
Pilotless Ignition
Your range is equipped with pilotless ig-
nition. 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.
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 temperature. 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 min-
utes for preheating.
3. Place food in center of oven.
4. Check food for doneness at minimum
time in recipe. Cook longer if neces-
sary.
5. Remove food from the oven and turn
the Oven Temp knob to Off.
Oven Indicator Light
The oven indicator light turns on when-
ever the oven turns on.
When the oven reaches the preset tem-
perature, the indicator light turns off. The
light will then turn off and on as the oven
burners cycle off and on.

Oven Light

Push the switch on the control
panel to turn the oven light on
and off.

Oven Vent

When the oven is in use, never block the
vent opening.
It is located at the base of the backguard.
When the oven is in use, this area may
feel warm or hot to the touch. Do not
place plastics near the vent opening as
heat from the vent could distort or melt
the plastic.

Broiling
For best results, use a broiling pan. For
additional broiling tips, refer to the
"Cooking Made Simple" booklet.
Setting the Knob
Control for Broiling
(lower compartment)
1. Place the broiler
pan in the rec-
o m m e n d e d
broiling compart-
ment position shown in
the chart below.
2. Turn Oven Temp knob to Broil or, for
lower temperature broiling, to 450°F.
•
Lower temperature broiling avoids
excessive browning of longer
cooking foods such as poultry.
3. Follow the suggested times in the broil-
ing chart below. Meat should be turned
once about halfway through its cook-
ing time.
4. Check the doneness by cutting a slit in
the meat near the center to check the
color.
5. After broiling, turn the Oven Temp
knob to Off. Remove the broiler pan
from the broiler compartment.
