Consumer Support

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 G), 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 7 shelf positions.

How to Set the Oven for Baking or Roasting

Touch the 

BAKE

pad.

Touch the 

+

or 

pads until the 

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 

pads to get

the new temperature.

Check food for doneness at minimum
time on recipe. Cook longer if necessary.

Touch the 

CLEAR/OFF

pad when baking

is finished and then remove the food
from the oven.

Type of Food

Shelf Position

Frozen pies (on cookie sheet)

Biscuits, muffins, brownies,

C or D

cookies, cupcakes,

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.

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.
