MAIN ELECTRIC OVEN
SHELVES POSITIONS
Shelves are mounted on the appropriate guides situated on
the sides of the oven compartment. Insert the shelf
between top and bottom guide in any of the 7 positions
indicated.
COOLING FAN
Automatic operation of the cooling fan. The range cooker is
equipped with a thermostatically controlled cooling fan
designed to prevent the control panel and knobs from
overheating. The cooling fan will operate when the oven
temperature rises. It will turn off when the temperature
decreases.
NOTE
It is normal for the cooling process to push
heated air out into the room when the oven
is on.
PREHEATING THE OVEN
Most cooking times in recipes are intended for a preheated
oven and require that the oven already be at the set
temperature before placing food in the oven. Preheating
time depends on the temperature setting and the number of
racks in the oven.
USING THE OVEN
1) Place rack in desired position and shut the door.
2) The electric oven is controlled by an electric thermostat
combined with a switch. Select the oven function
/temperature with the dedicated knob. The light in the
cavity will turn on.
