Using the Oven Controls
Baking
1. Position the rack(s) properly
before turning on the oven. To
change rack position, lift rack at
front and pull out.
The rack(s) should be placed so the
top of the food will be centered in
the oven. Always leave at least lY2to
2 inches (4-5 cm) between the sides
of the pan and the oven walls and
other pans. For more information,
see the Cooking Guide.

to the baking temperature you
want. The Oven Indicator Light will
come on. The oven is pre-heated
when the Oven Indicator Light first
goes off.

ing, the elements will turn on and
off to keep the oven temperature

the Oven Selector and Oven
Temperature Control to OFF.

Adjusting the Oven Temperature Control
Does your oven seem hotter or colder than your old oven? The temperature of
your old oven may have shifted gradually without your noticing the change.
Your new oven is properly adjusted to provide accurate temperatures. But
when compared to your old oven, the new design may give you different
results.
If after using the oven for a period of time, you are not satisfied with the
temperature settings, they can be adjusted by following these steps:
1. Pull the Oven Temperature Control
Knob straight off.
OFF
3. To lower the temperature, move
the tooth a notch closer to LO.
Each notch equals about 10°F
(5°C).
2. Loosen the locking screw Note
the position of the notches.
4. To raise fhe temperature, move
the tooth a notch closer to HI. Each
notch equals about 10°F (5°C).
Tlghten the locking screw and
replace the control knob.

Broiling

the oven on. See “Broil CharYin
the Cooking Guide or a reliable
cookbook for recommended
rack positions.
2. Put the broiler pan and food on
the rack.
3. Rotate the Broil Stop clips over the
door hinge slots and close the
door to the Broil Stop position
(open about 4 inches, 10.2 cm).
The door will stay open by itself.
4. Set the Oven Selector and Oven
Temperature Control to BROIL.

Burn and Electrical Shock Hazard
Make sure all controls are OFF

burns or electrical shock.
Custom Broil
l If food is cooking too fast, turn the Oven Temperature Control counterclock-
wise until the Oven Indicator Light goes off.
l If you want the food to broil slower from the start, set the Oven Temperature
Control between 150” and 325°F (65.5” and 162.7”(Z). The lower the tempera-
ture, the slower the cooking.
The Oven Selector must be on BROIL for all broiling temperatures.
NOTE: The door must be partly open whenever the oven is set to BROIL.
leaving the door open allows the oven to maintain proper temperatures. 9
