USING YOUR OVEN
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.
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 range.
Oven Light
(on some models)
Automatic Oven Shut Off
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.
As a safety feature, this oven will automatically shut
itself off after 12 hours. On models with touch pad
clock controls this feature may be deactivated to
allow the oven to be left on for more than 12 hours.
To deactivate the Automatic Oven Shut-Off, press and
hold both the increase and decrease minute pads for
about 4 seconds. The display will change from time of
day to show “off”.
To reactivate the feature, press and hold both the
increase and the decrease minute pads for about 4
seconds. The display will change from time of day to
show “on”.

this illustration as A (bottom), B, C and D (top).

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.
To replace, place
the shelf on the shelf
support with the
stop-locks (curved
extension under 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
