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 range.
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 from the
oven, and will not tilt when removing food from 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 it toward you,
tilt the front end upward and pull it out.
To replace, place the shelf on the shelf support with
the stop-locks (curved extension of the shelf) facing
up 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.
Shelf Positions
The oven has 4 shelf supports as identified in
this illustration as A (bottom), B, C and D (top).
Shelf positions for cooking food are suggested
in the Baking, Roasting and Broiling sections.
Oven Light Automatic Oven Shut-Off
The light comes on automatically
when the oven door is opened.
On some models, use the switch to
turn the light on and off when the
door is closed.
As a safety feature, this oven will automatically shut
itself off if it has been left on for more than 12 hours.
