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.
NOTE: You may notice a “burning” or “oily” smell the
first few times you turn your oven on. This is normal in
a new oven and will disappear in a short time.
Oven Temperature Control
The OVEN CONTROL knob is located on the control
panel on the front of the range.
Simply turn the knob to the desired cooking
temperature, or to BROIL.
The Oven Cycling Light glows until the oven reaches
your selected temperature, then goes off and on with
the oven heating element during cooking.
Shelf Positions
The oven has four shelf supports identified in this
illustration as A (bottom), B, C and D (top).
Shelf positions for cooking are suggested in the
Baking, Roasting and Broiling sections.

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 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 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 the shelf toward
you, tilt the front end upward, and pull the shelf out.
To replace, place
the shelf on the
shelf support with
the stop-locks
(curved extension
of the shelf) 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.
