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. To
speed the process, set a self-clean cycle for 4 hours.
See the Operating the Self-Cleaning Oven section.
• A cooling fan may automatically turn on and off to
cool internal parts. This is normal, and the fan may
continue to run even after the oven is turned off.

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 the 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 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.
