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 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 oven.
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 from the
oven, and will not tilt when you are removing food
from them or placing food on them.
When placing the 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.

Shelf Positions

The oven has 4 shelf supports identified in this
illustration as A (bottom), B, C and D (top).
Shelf positions for cooking are suggested in the
Baking, Roasting and Broiling sections.

Oven Lights

Both of the lights come on automatically when either oven
OVEN door is opened.
Use the pad on the control panel to turn the lights on and off
when the doors are closed.

USING YOUR OVEN

NOTE:
To remove the shelves
from the oven, pull them
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 shel~ 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.
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. To speed the process, set a self-clean cycle for
a minimum of 3 hours. See the Operating the Self-
Cleaning Oven section.
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.
