USmG YOUR OWN
Before Using Your Oven
1. 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 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:
● A 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 off.
● You may notice a “burning” or “oily” smell the first
few times you turn your oven on. This is normal in
z
new oven and will disappear in a short time. To spee
the process, set a self-clean cycle for a minimum of
hours. See the Self-Cleaning Oven section.
Oven Light
The light comes on when the oven door is opened or when the control panel
light switch is turned on.
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.

,,
oven Shelves
The shelves are designed with sto~-locks so when
placed correctly on
{he 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 “stop” position. 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.
Be sure the shelf is cool before touching it.
To replace, place the shelf on the shelf support with
the stop-locks (curved extension of
shelfl 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.

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 in these models that do not have the
convection feature.

How to Set Your Oven for Baking
To avoid possible burns, place shelves in the correct
position before you turn the oven on.
1. Press the BA~ pad.
2. Press the INCREASE or DECREASE pad until the
desired temperature is displayed.

When the oven reaches the temperature you set, a
tone will sound.
3. Press the CLEAWOFF pad when baking is finished
and then remove the food from the oven.
NOTE: A fan may automatically turn on and off to
cool internal
pafls. This is normal, and the fan may
continue to run after the oven is turned off.
To change the oven temperature during BAKE
cycle, press the
BA~ pad and then the INCREASE
or DECREASE pad to get the new temperature.
Oven Shelves
Arrange the oven
shelf or shelves in
the desired locations
while the oven is
cool. The correct

of food and the
browning desired.
As a general rule,
place most foods in
the middle of the
oven, on either shelf positions C or D. See the chart
for suggested shelf positions.
NOTE: To bake 4 layers of cake at one time,
position 2 layers on shelf B and 2 layers on shelf D
with the pans staggered so that one is not directly
above the other.
