sixty-six
RANGE AND OVEN
Operating
Instructions
Turn the temperature control
knob from
the “PILOTS
OFF” position
to the
“OFF” position. After this
has been done,
light
the pilot in
the oven (Constant
Pilot). If the
range
is equipped with a top
lighting pilot, light it
at the same
time.
After the oven pilot is lit, turn the
oven temperature control
knob to the
desired temperature (example, 350 degrees).
You will notice the heater
pilot being lit by
the
Constant
Pilot. The heater
pilot will heat the sensing bulb from the
mercury control
valve
located
in the
rear
of the range
(back side).
Once
this sensing
bulb has reached a sufficient
temperature,
it will open the mercury
valve permitting it to release gas to the
main
burner.
When the oven has reached the desired
temperature, the thermostat will stop
the supply of gas to the heater pilot,
thus causing the sensing bulb from the
mercury
control
valve to
cool. The
mercury
valve
will close and stop the gas
supply to the main
burner.
When the
oven
requires
more heat,
the
same cycle
will
again repeat itself. The
only time the
oven
will operate differently would
be
when the
thermostat
would be in the broil position.
The main burner flame
would
then ease in size
and not shut off until the thermostat was turned down or to the
“OFF”
posi-
tion.
ADJUSTMENT
INSTRUCTIONS
Refer to manufacturer’s
instructions
included in your
owner’s
packet.
IMPORTANT:
The
Oven Thermostat on this range is designed to enable you
to
turn
off the
Oven
Constant Pilot and the Top Burner Pilot by
simply turning the Thermostat Dial to the “PILOTS OFF”
position. When the Dial is in this position you cannot light the
Top Pilot or Oven Constant Pilot. When the Dial
is in the
“OFF”
position
both
of the pilots are on.
