transit. Each top element is controlled by a switch and when turned on the element should
heat up within a minute except li)r solid disk elements. These take approximately 3
minutes. (Solid elements do not get red in color when hot.) The oven bake element should
heat up within a minute when the temperature control is set in the bake area ol' the dial.
The broil element can be checked with dial in broil mode. With dial at 400°K temperature
should be reached within 10-12 minutes. The elements are covered with a protective
coating of oil. When heated up lk}r the first time, open the oven door arrd allow the
thermostal to operate at 400°F li)r about 10 minutes. This should evaporale the oil, and
dissipate odors and possible smoke caused by the burning off of this protective coating.
