USING YOUR OVEN
Before Using Your Oven
1. Look at the controls. Be sure you understand how
to set them properly. Read over the directions for
the automatic oven timers (on some models) so you
understand its use with the controls.
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 infomlation and tips that follow.
4. Keep this guide handy so you can refer to it, especially
during the first weeks of using your new range.
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.
Oven Controls
Your range has two oven control knobs--
OVEN SET and OVEN TEMR
The OVEN SET knob has settings for BAKE, TIMED
BAKE (on some models), BROIL and OFF.
The oven set light glows when you select BAKE,
BROIL or TIMED BAKE (on some models).
The OVEN TEMP knob maintains the temperature
you set, from WARM (150°F.) to BROIL (550°F.).
The oven cycling light glows until the oven reaches
your selected temperature, then goes off and on with
the oven unit(s) during cooking.

Appearance may vary.
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 from the oven, and
will not tilt when removing food
from 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 the shelf)
facing up 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
Shelf Positions
The oven has 4 shelf supports
as identified in this illustration
as A (bottom), B, C and D (top).
Shelf positions for cooking
food are suggested in
the Baking, Roasting and
Broiling sections.
Oven Light
Use the switch on the control panel to turn the light on
and off.
