Using Your Oven; Before Using Your Oven; Shelf Positions - GE Self-Cleaning Electric Range Use And Care & Installation Manual

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.
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 towards you,
tilt the front end upward and pull it out.

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
(on some models)
The light comes on automatically when the oven
door is opened.
On models with an oven window, use the switch to
turn the light on and off when the door is closed.
