Using the oven.

The oven has5 rack positions.
It also has a special lower rack
position (R) for extra large items,
such as a large turkey.
The oven has aspecial lower rack(R)
position just above theoven bottom.
Use it when extra cooking space is
needed, for example, when cooking
a large turkey. The rack is not designed
to slide out at this position.
Do not place foods directly
on the oven oor.
Before you begin...
The racks have stops, so that when placed
correctly on the supports, they will stop
before coming completely out, and will
not tilt.
When placing and removing cookware,
pull the rack out until it stops.
To remove a rack, pull it toward you,
tilt the front end up and pull it out.
To replace, place the end of the rack
(stop-locks) on the support, tilt up the
front and push the rack in.

Preheating and Pan Placement

Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it.
To preheat, set the oven at the correct
temperature. Preheating is necessary for
good results when baking cakes, cookies,
pastry and breads.
The control will beep when the oven is
preheated and the display will show your
set temperature. This will take approximately
15–20 minutes.

Aluminum Foil

Do not use aluminun foil on the bottom
of the oven.
A smaller sheet of foil may be used to catch
a spillover by placing it on a lower rack
several inches below the food.
CA UTION:
When you are using
a rack in the lowest position (R), you will need
to use caution when pulling the rack out.We
recommend that you pull the rack out several
inches and then, using two pot holders, pull the
rack out by holding the sides of it. The rack is low
and you could be burned if you place your hand
in the middle of the rack and pull all the way out.
Be very careful not to burn your hand on the door
when using the rack in the lowest position (R).
(onmodelswithout an oven temperature knob)
Check food for doneness atminimum
time on recipe. Cook longer if necessary.
Touch the OFF pad when baking is
finished and then remove the food

Type of Food
Frozen pies (on cookie sheet)
Angel food cake,
bundt or pound cakes
Biscuits, muffins, brownies,
cookies, cup cakes,
layer cakes, pies
Casseroles
Turkey
Roasting
Baking results will be better if baking
pans are centered in the oven as much as
possible. If baking with more than one pan,
place the pans so each has at least 1" to 1
of air space around it.
Never entirely cover a rack with aluminum
foil. This will disturb the heat circulation and
result in poor baking.
