Using the oven.

To avoid possible burns, place the shelves in the desired position before you turn the oven on.
The oven has 5 shelf positions.
It also has a special low shelf
position (R) for extra large items,
such as a large turkey.
Plastic items on the cooktop may
melt if left too close to the vent.
Vent appearance and location vary.

burned if you put your hand in the middle of
the rack and pull all the way out.
