Baking - Hotpoint RB557 Use And Care Manual

Before Using Your Oven
1. Look at the controls. Be sure you understand
how to set them properly.
2. Check the oven interior. 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.
4. Keep this guide handy so you can refer to it,
especially during the first weeks of using your
new range.
Oven Temperature Control
The OVEN CONTROL knob is
located on the control panel on
the front of the range.
Simply turn the knob to the
desired cooking temperature,
or to BROIL.
The Oven Cycling Light
glows until the oven reaches
your selected temperature, then goes off and
on with the oven heating element during cooking.
Oven Shelves
The shelves are designed with stop-locks so that,
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.
To remove the shelf from the oven, pull the shelf
toward you, tilt the front end upward, and pull the
shelf out.
To replace, place the shelf on the shelf support with
the stop-locks (curved extension of the shelf) facing
up and toward the rear of the oven. Tilt up the front
and push the shelf toward the back of the oven until it
goes past the bump on the shelf support. Then lower
the front of the shelf, and push it all the way back.

the first few times you turn your oven on. This is
normal in a new oven and will disappear in a short
time. See the Operating the Self-Cleaning Oven
section.
Shelf Positions
