Before Setting Oven Controls
Oven Vent Location
For models equipped with coiled surface elements, iheoven vent is located under
the left rear surface element. When the oven is on, warm air flows through the
left rear element. This venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven
and good baking results. DO NOT BLOCK THE OVEN VENT.
Arranging Oven Racks
ALWAYS ARRANGE OVEN RACKS WHEN THE OVEN IS COOL (PRIOR TO
OPERATING THE OVEN). Always use oven mitts when using the oven.
Removing & Replacing Oven Racks
To remove, pull the rack forward until it stops. Lift up front of rack and slide out. To replace, fit the rack onto the guides on
the oven walls. Tilt the front of the rack upward and slide the rack back into place.

2. Push in and turn the surface control knob in either direction to the desired
setting. Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then turn to a
lower setting to finish cooking. The control knobs do not have to be set exactly
on a particular setting. Use the settings as a guide and adjust the control knob
as needed.
3. When cooking is completed, turn the surface element off before removing the
pan. Note: The surface “Element On’’ indicator light{s) will glow when one or
more elements are turned on. A quick glance at these indicator Iight(s) when
cooking is finished is an easy check to be sure all surface elements are turned
off.

food.

spoon holders or plastic wrappings on top of the range when it is in use.
These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could catch
fire if placed too close to the surface elements.
