SELECTOR and OVEN

LECTOR has settings
for BAKE, TIME BAKE,
BROIL, CLEAN and OFE
When you turn the knob to the desired setting, the pro-
per heating units are then activated for that operation.

from WARM (150°E) to BROIL (550°E) to CLEAN
(880°E,)_

your selected temperature, then goes off and on with
the oven unit during cooking
PREHEATING the oven, even to high temperature set-
tings, is speedy--rarely more than about 10 minutes.
Preheat the oven only when necessary. Most foods will
cook satisfactorily without preheating_ If you find pre-
heating is necessary, keep an eye on the indicator light
and put food in the oven promptly after light goes ouL
Oven interior Shelves
The shelves are designed with stop-locks so that when
placed correctly on the shelf supports, they (a) will stop
before coming completely from the oven, and (b) will
not tilt when removing food from or placing food on
them°

pull forward with stop-locks along top of shelf supports.
Be certain that shelf is cool before touching.
TO REPLACE shelves in oven, insert shelf with stop-
locks resting on shelf supports. Push shelf toward rear
of oven; it will fall into place. When shelf is in proper
position, stop-locks on shelf will run under shelf sup-
port when shelf is pulled forward.
