Arranging Oven Racks

ALWAYS ARRANGE OVEN RACKS WHEN THE OVEN IS COOL (PRIOR TO OPERATING THE OVEN). Always use oven
mitts when using the oven.
Removing & Replacing Oven Racks
To remove, pull the rack forward until it stops. Lift up front of rack and slide out. To replace, fit the rack onto the guides on
the oven walls. Tilt the front of the rack upward and slide the rack back into place.
The suggested settings found in the chart below are based on cooking in medium-weight metal pans with lids. Settings may
vary when using other types of pans. Note: The size and type of utensil used, and the amount and type of food being cooked
will influence the setting needed for best cooking results.
Setting
HIGH (HI - 9)
MEDIUM HIGH (7 - 8)
MEDIUM (5 - 6)
MEDIUM LOW (2 - 4)
LOW (LO - 1)
Do not place plastic items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on top of the
range when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wooden spoons could catch fire if placed too
close to the element.

Before Setting Oven Controls

Oven Vent Location

For models equipped with coiled surface elements, the oven vent is located under
the left rear surface element. When the oven is on, warm air flows through the
left rear element. This venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven
and good baking results. DO NOT BLOCK THE OVEN VENT.
To Operate the Surface Elements:
1. Place cooking utensil on the surface element.
2. Push in and turn the surface control knob in either direction to the desired setting.
Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then turn to a lower setting
to finish cooking. The control knobs do not have to be set exactly on a particular
setting. Use the settings as a guide and adjust the control knob as needed.
3. When cooking is completed, turn the surface element off before removing the
pan. Note: The surface "Element On" indicator light(s) will glow when one or more
elements are turned on. A quick glance at these indicator light(s) when cooking
is finished is an easy check to be sure all surface elements are turned off.
