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. See the Operating the Self-Cleaning
Oven section.

Automatic Oven Shut Off

Oven Light

As a safety feature, this oven will automatically shut
itself off if it has been left on for more than 12 hours.

Use the switch on the control panel to turn the 
light on or off.

Shelf Positions

Hide-A-Way Oven Door Latch

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.

The Hide-A-Way door latch is for use with 
self-cleaning only.

To use the Hide-A-Way door latch, lift the cooktop
and pull the door latch handle into the lock position.
Make sure you pull the handle out enough to fully
extend it or it will not slide into the lock position.

After a clean cycle, when the oven has cooled, 
lift the cooktop and push the lock handle back into 
the bracket.

When you lower the cooktop the Hide-A-Way door
latch will not show, and the oven is prevented from
being locked accidently.

Oven Shelves 

The shelves are designed with
stop-locks so 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 shelves from the
oven, pull them toward you, tilt
front end upward and pull them 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 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.
