Using the oven.

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 supports, 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.

The oven has 4 shelf positions.

How to Set the Oven for Baking or Roasting

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. 

Press the 

PREHEAT

pad.

Press the 

INCREASE

or 

DECREASE

pad to

set the oven temperature.

Once the oven is preheated, it will signal.
Place your food in the oven. The oven will
automatically go on to baking. 

Baking results will be better if baking 
pans are centered in the oven as much as
possible. Pans should not touch each other
or the walls of the oven. If you need to use
two shelves, stagger the pans so one is not
directly above the other, and leave
approximately 1

2

from the front of the

pan to the front of the shelf.

Aluminum Foil

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.

Aluminum foil may be used to catch
a spillover.

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