2. Gas Systeln Operating Characteristics
Cooking on your new gas range may differ slightly than on previous ranges because of a
new system designed to better regulate temperature control Most ovens have a burner
that cycles on then off to maintain an average temperature Gas ranges with standing
pilot ignition have a revolutionary thermostat that continually adjusts gas flow to hold a
constant temperature without completely shutting off the burner As seen in the figures
below, the result is an oven temperature that remains steady throughout the entire
cooking period
