Aluminum Foil

Never cover the oven bottom with aluminum foil.

You can use aluminum foil to line a broiler
pan and broiler grid. However, you must
mold the foil tightly to the grid and cut slits in
it just like the grid.

Aluminum foil may also be used to catch a
spillover. To do so, place a small sheet of foil
on a lower shelf several inches below the food.

Never entirely cover a shelf with aluminum
foil. This will disturb the heat circulation and
result in poor baking.

Cut slits in the foil just like the grid.

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.

Touch the

Touch the 

+

or

desired temperature is displayed.

Touch the 

START/ON

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,
touch the 

BAKE

pad and then the 

+

or

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. 

The Display will show “PRE” while preheating. When
the oven reaches the selected temperature, the oven
control will beep and the display will show the oven
temperature.

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. 

Center baking pans in the oven.

Using the oven.
