USING YOUR OVEN
Before Using Your Oven
1. Look at the controls. Be sure you understand
how to set them properly.
2. Check the oven interior. Look at the shelves.
Take a practice run at removing and replacing
them properly to give sure, sturdy support.
3. Read over the information and tips that follow.
4. Keep this guide handy so you can refer to it,
especially during the first weeks of using your
new oven.
NOTE:
• You may notice a "burning" or "oily" smell the first
few times you turn your oven on. This is normal in a
new oven and will disappear in a short time. To
speed the process, set a self-clean cycle fbr 4 hours.
See the Operating the Self-Cleaning Oven section.
• A cooling fan may automatically turn on and off to
cool internal parts. This is normal, and the fan may
continue to run even after the oven is turned of£
Oven Shelves
The shelves are designed with stop-locks so that,
when placed correctly on the shelf supports, they
will stop before coming completely out of the oven
and will not tilt when you are removing food from
them or placing food on them.
When placing cookware on a shelf, pull the shelf out
to the bump on the shelf support. Place the cookware
on the shelf, then slide the shelf back into the oven.
This will eliminate reaching into the hot oven.
To remove a shelf from the oven, pull it toward you,
tilt the front end upward and pull the shelf out.
To replace, place the
shelf on the shelf
support with the stop-
locks (curved extension
of shelf) facing up and
toward the rear of the
oven. Tilt up the front
and push the shelf
toward the back of the
oven until it goes past
the bump on the shelf
support. Then lower the
front of the shelf and
push it all the way back.
Bump
Oven Vent
When the oven is on, heated air moves through a vent above the door or
between door and air grille.
The vent area could get hot during oven use.
The vent is needed for proper air flow in the oven and good baking results.
Do not block this vent.
Shelf Positions
The oven has six shelf supports identified in this
illustration as A (bottom), B, C, D, E and F (top).
Shelf positions for cooking are suggested in the
Baking, Roasting and Broiling sections.
NOTE: The highest position (above F) is only a
support. It is not intended to be used as a shelf position.
