Safety Instructions
To avoid possible burns, place the shelves in the desired position before you turn the oven on.
Before you begin…
The shelves have stop-locks, so that when
placed correctly on the shelf supports (A
through F), they will stop before coming
completely out, and will not tilt.
When placing and removing cookware,
pull the shelf out to the bump on the shelf
support.
To remove a shelf,
pull it toward you, tilt the
front end up and pull it out.
To replace,
place the end of the shelf
(stop-locks) on the support, tilt up the front
and push the shelf in.
CAUTION:
When you are using the shelf in the lowest
position (A), you will need to use caution when pulling
the shelf out. We recommend that you pull the shelf
out several inches and then, using two pot holders, pull
the shelf out by holding the sides of it. The shelf is low
and you could be burned if you place your hand in the
middle of the shelf and pull all the way out. Be very
careful not to burn your hand on the door when using
the shelf in the lowest position (A).
The oven has 6 shelf positions.
How to Set the Oven for Baking or Roasting
Your oven is not designed for open-door cooking.

pad.
Touch the
+
or

pads until the
desired temperature is displayed.
Touch the

pad.
The oven will start automatically. The display
will show
PrE
while preheating. When the
oven reaches the selected temperature, the
oven control will beep several times and the
display will show the oven temperature.
To change the oven temperature during BAKE cycle,

Preheating and Pan Placement
Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it.
Preheating is necessary for good results
when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and
breads.
To preheat, set the oven at the correct
temperature. The control will beep when
the oven is preheated and the display will
show your set temperature. This will take
approximately 15–20 minutes.
Baking results will be better if baking
pans are centered in the oven as much
as possible. If baking with more than one
pan, place the pans so each has at least
1
″
to 1
1
⁄
2
″
of air space around it.
If baking four cake layers at the same time,
place two layers on rack B and two layers on
rack D. Stagger pans on the rack so one is
not directly above the other.
Using the oven.
Do not place foods directly on the
oven floor.
Aluminum Foil
Do not use aluminum foil on the bottom
of the oven.
Never entirely cover a shelf with
aluminum foil. This will disturb the heat
circulation and result in poor baking.
A smaller sheet of foil may be used to
catch a spillover by placing it on a lower
shelf several inches below the food.
