derstand its use with the controls.

The controls
for the oven are marked
OVEN
SET
and
OVEN
TEMP.
OVEN
SET
has
settings
for
BAKE-,
TIME
BAKE,
BROIL
(and on oven so equipped,
CLEAN),
and OFF.
Setting the knob to the desired operation
auto-
matically
activates the proper heating units.
OVEN TEMP maintains the temperature you
set from
WARM
( 150° ) to BROIL
(550° ). A
cycling light near this control glows until oven
reaches the selected temperature,
then goes off
and on with the oven unit(s)
during cooking.
PREHEATING
the oven, even to high tem-
perature settings, is speedy—rarely
more than
about 10 minutes.
Set controls
and when the
light goes off, oven is at selected
temperature.
For baking cakes, pies, breads, etc., preheating
usually
is recommended.
For cooking
meats,
casseroles and vegetables,
preheating
is usually
not necessary.
SHELVES
The shelves are designed with stop-locks so that
when placed correctly
on the shelf supports, (a)
will stop before coming completely from the
oven, (b) will
not tilt when removing
food nor
when placing food on them.
TO
REMOVE,
pull shelf toward you and tilt
front end upward. TO REPLACE,
place shelf
on shelf support so curve on straight shelf, or
curved tab on reversible
shelf, is pointing
up-
ward and toward rear of oven. Tilt up front and
push shelf toward back of oven until it goes
past ridge on oven liner; lower front of shelf
and push to back of oven.
The oven has one straight and one reversible
shelf. Three shelf
supports
are offered for vari-
ety and flexibility in locating shelves. The re-
versible shelf may be raised above or lowered
below the straight shelf level; turn the shelf
end-over-end and insert as instructed.
LIGHT
The oven light comes on auto-
matically
when the door
is
opened. Use the switch near the
handle, of model with window
door, to turn the light on and off
when door is closed.
Common Sense Rules
.
ALWAYS be certain parts of oven are cool
before touching them with hands unprotected
by a potholder.
.
ALWAYS
use
dry
potholder, not a moist
one, nor a trailing cloth, to prevent burns from
steam.
.
Pulling out shelf all the way to shelf stop is
a convenience
in lifting heavy foods. It is also a
precaution
against
burns
from
touching
hot
surfaces of the door or oven walls.
.
ALWAYS
let rush of heat or steam escape
from heated oven
(a) before leaning into oven opening,
(b) before removing or placing food in oven.
.
DO
NOT use the oven to "take the chill off"
surrounding area. Surfaces nearby might not
withstand the resulting heat.
. DO NOT heat an unopened glass, metal or
other type container of food in the oven. Build
up of pressure may cause container to burst
and cause serious personal harm or damage the
range.
.
DO NOT
touch heating unit with potholders
when handling shelves or food in oven. Coils
may be hot even when they do not glow red. To
pull out or push in shelf, place potholder at
CENTER, protecting fingers on TOP of shelf
and enough of potholder UNDER shelf to pro-
tect thumb.
. On model with window door, avoid spillage
into slots, on door liner, used for raising window
shield for cleaning oven automatically.
