Rack positions
There are two straight racks for the
single/upper oven and one straight rack
for the lower oven.
Your oven has four rack positions. Rack
position 4 is the highest position, or
farthest from the bottom of the oven.
Rack position 1 is the lowest position, or
closest to the bottom of the oven. Be
sure to arrange the oven rack(s) before
putting foods into the oven or turning
the oven on.
To remove oven racks:
1. Pull rack out until bar on back of
rack touches first stop.
2. Lift front of rack up until rear
position of rack slides out between
the two front stops.
Preheating the oven
For best results, preheat the oven until
the Oven ON Signal Light goes out,
unless the recipe states otherwise. Set
the oven at the desired temperature.
In lower oven, exercise care in turning
the Temperature Control so you do not
go past the desired set point. If you
accidentally go past the desired setting,
turn the dial fully counterclockwise and
then reset to the desired setting to get
an accurate temperature setting. The
Oven ON Signal Light will go out when
the desired temperature has been
reached and will cycle on and off with
the elements during the heating period.
Be sure the Lower Oven Temperature
Control is turned fully counterclockwise
or to OFF when the oven is not in use.
