at right. Also, food size should be
considered; foods over 3 Y2 inches
high, or 3 pounds are not
recommended for shelf cooking.

uncooked foods which need to be
prepared from scratch should be
cooked without the oven shelf,

larger amounts of food. Extra

Positioning the Shelf
To position the DOUBLE DUTY
shelf, tip the back slightly and fit
the shelf support guides onto the
support guides located on each side
of the oven in the rear.
Next, lower the front until the shelf
support guides fit onto the support
guides located at each side of the
oven in the front.
When properly positioned, the
shelf should fit snugly in place.
The shelf should also be level and
not touch the back wall of the oven.
If arcing occurs when using the
shelf to cook more than one food
at the same time, turn the oven
off. Make sure the shelf is
positioned right-side-up on all
four shelf supports and not
touching oven walls.
