Before Using Your Oven

1. Look at the controls. Be sure you understand how to
set them properly. Read over the directions for the
Oven Controls so you understand how to use them.
2. Check the inside of the oven. 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.
especially during the first weeks of using
your new oven.
Automatic Ignition
The oven burner is lighted by electric ignition.
To light the burner, touch BAKE or BROIL and
press the INCREASE or DECREASE pad 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.
Oven Light
Use the switch on the control panel to turn the light on and off
when the door is closed.
Oven Vent
When the oven is on, heated air moves through a vent
below the control panel.
The vent area could get hot during oven use.

Oven Shelves

The shelves are designed with stop-locks so 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.

USING YOUR 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 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.
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.
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.

oven, pull it toward you, tilt --
