Before Using Your Oven

Look at the controls. Be sure you understand how
to set them properly. Read over the directions for the
Oven Controls so you understand how to use them.
2. Check oven interior. Look at the shelves. Take a
practice run at removing and replacing them
properly, to give sure, sturdy support.
Oven Shelves
The shelves are designed with stop-locks so that when
placed correctly on the shelf supports, they will stop
before coming out completely from the oven, and
on them.
TO REMOVE
the shelves from
the oven, pull
toward you, tilt
front end upward
and pull them oat.
TO REPLACE,
place shelf on
shelf with
support
toward the rear of the oven. Tilt up front and push the
shelf toward the back of the oven until it goes past
"stop" on the oven wall. Then lower the front of the
shelf and push it all the way back.

Adjusting Oven Thermostat

When cooking food for the first time in your new
oven. use time given on recipes as a guide. Oven
thermostats, over a period of years, may "drift" from
the factory setting and the differences in timing
between an old and a new oven of 5 to 10 minutes are
not unusual. Your oven has been set correctly at the
factory and is more likely to be accurate than the oven
which it replaced.
If you think the oven should be hotter or cooler, you
can adjust it yourself. To decide how much to change
the temperature, set the oven temperature 25"F. higher
or lower than the temperature in your recipe, then
bake. The results of this "test" should give you an
idea of how much the temperature should be changed.
