Preheating is necessary for most cooking
because timing is more likely to coincide with
the recipe when the oven is preheated.
To preheat, always turn the control knob
directly to the oven temperature. Do not turn it
to a higher temperature and then back to the
desired setting. Setting a higher temperature
first and then lowering it will not preheat the
oven any faster.
When the oven indicator light turns off, the
oven temperature has been reached. Quickly
place the food to be cooked inside the oven. If
the door is left open for several minutes, heat
will escape and the temperature inside will be
less than what is set.
The oven indicator light will cycle on and off
as the thermostat needs more heat to maintain
the set temperature.

Before using the oven of your gas range for
the first time, set the oven thermostat at 250˚F
(120˚C) and operate for one hour. At the end of
the hour, reset the oven to 500˚F (260˚C) and
heat for a second hour. Turn off the oven at the
conclusion of the second hour. Allow oven to
cool gradually with the door(s) closed.
This process will burn off any residual oil and
grease used during the manufacturing process.
A small amount of smoke and odor may be
noticed during the initial break-in period. The
oven door(s) can be opened after the oven(s)
have cooled significantly.
The use of proper cookware is very important.
