COOKTOP USE To Set Oven Temperature: Cooktop/Oven Temperature Controls WARNING 1. Push in and turn oven control knob counterclockwise to LITE. 2. Look through the hole in the oven bottom to verify that the pilot inside the cavity is lit. Fire Hazard Do not let the burner flame extend beyond the edge of the pan. Turn off all controls when not cooking. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or fire.
Gas tube opening: Gas must flow freely throughout the gas tube opening for the burner to light properly. Keep this area free of soil and do not allow spills, food, cleaning agents or any other material to enter the gas tube opening. Keep spillovers out of the gas tube by always using a burner cap. A Home Canning When canning for long periods, alternate the use of surface burners between batches. This allows time for the most recently used areas to cool. ■ Center the canner on the grate above the burner.
OVEN USE Odors and smoke are normal when the oven is used the first few times, or when it is heavily soiled. IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off. Exposure to the fumes may result in death to certain birds. Always move birds to another closed and wellventilated room. Aluminum Foil IMPORTANT: To avoid permanent damage to the oven bottom finish and the broiler door handle, do not line the oven bottom with any type of foil or liner.
To Broil: Baking and Roasting IMPORTANT: To avoid damage to the interior finish, do not place food or cookware directly on the oven door or the oven bottom. Before baking and roasting, position the racks according to the “Positioning Racks and Bakeware” section.

Push in and turn the oven control knob to the desired temperature setting. 2. Place food in oven.
RANGE CARE COOKTOP CONTROLS Removing the Oven Bottom The oven bottom can be removed for standard cleaning of the oven. Before cleaning, make sure the oven is completely cool. To Remove: 1.
