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 oven.
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 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 the 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.
Shelf Positions
The oven has 4 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 Vent
When the oven is on, heated air moves through a vent above the door or
between door and air grille.
The vent area could get hot during oven use.
The vent is needed for proper air flow in the oven and good baking results.
Do not block this vent.
