USING YOUR OVEN
Before Using Your Oven
1. Look at the controls. Be sure you understand
how to set them properly.
2. Check the oven interior. Look at the shelves.
Take a practice run at removing and replacing
them properly to give sure, sturdy support.
3. Read over the information and tips that follow.
4. Keep this guide handy so you can refer to it,
especially during the first weeks of using your
new oven.
NOTE:
• You may notice a “burning” or “oily” smell the
first few times you turn your oven on. This is normal
in a new oven and will disappear in a short time.
• A cooling fan may automatically turn on and off to
cool internal parts. This is normal, and the fan may
continue to run even after the oven is turned off.

Automatic Ignition Oven Vent
The oven burner is lit by electric ignition.
To light the burner, press the pad for the
desired function and press the TEMP + or –
pads until the desired temperature is displayed.
The burner should ignite within 60 seconds.
After the oven reaches the selected temperature, the
oven burner cycles off completely, then on with a full
flame to keep the oven temperature controlled.
When the oven is on, heated air moves through
a vent behind the grille. See the Features of Your
Oven section.
The vent area could get hot during oven use.
The vent is needed for proper air flow in the oven and
good baking results. Do not block this vent. Doing so
may cause oven failure or fire.
TEMP
Power Outage
The oven burner will not light in the event of an electrical power outage.
Do not attempt to light it manually with a match.
Oven Shelves
The shelves are designed with stop-locks so that,
when placed correctly on the shelf supports, they
will stop before coming completely out of the oven
and will not tilt when you are removing food from
them or placing food on them.
When placing cookware on a shelf, pull the shelf out
to the bump on the shelf support. Place the cookware
on the shelf, then slide the shelf back into the oven.
This will eliminate reaching into the hot oven.
To remove a shelf from the oven, pull the shelf
toward you, tilt the front end upward and pull the
shelf out.
To replace, place the shelf
on the shelf support with
the stop-locks (curved
extension of the shelf)
facing up and toward the
rear of the oven. Tilt up
the front and push the
shelf toward the back of
the oven until it goes past
the bump on the shelf
support. Then lower the
front of the shelf and push
it all the way back.
