Oven Cooking
Oven Lights
The oven lights automatically come on whenever an
oven door is opened. When the door is closed, press
the
Oven Light pad to turn the oven light on or off.
A beep will sound every time the Oven Light pad is
pressed.
Oven Bottom
Protect oven bottom against spillovers, especially acidic or
sugary spills, as they may discolor the porcelain enamel. Use
the correct pan size to avoid spillovers and boilovers.
Do not
place utensils or aluminum foil directly on the oven
bottom.
Oven Vent
When the oven is in use the area near the vent may become
hot enough to cause burns.
Never block the vent opening.
The oven vent is located below the backguard on your
range.
When high moisture foods are cooked in the upper oven,
steam may be visible coming from the oven vent. This is
normal.
CAUTION
Oven Racks
• Do not attempt to change the rack position when the oven
is hot.
• Do not use the oven for storing food or cookware.
OVEN VENT
LOCATION
Do not place
plastics near the
vent opening as
heat from the vent
could distort or
melt the plastic.
All racks are designed with a lock-stop edge.
Upper oven
• Is equipped with one rack and rack
position.
• When pulling the upper oven rack out to
remove or check food, grasp the top edge
of the rack.
Lower oven
• Is equipped with one glide rack, one regular flat rack and
one half-rack.
To remove oven racks:
• Pull rack straight out until it stops at the lock-stop position;
lift up on the front of the rack and pull out.
• For glide rack, pull both the rack glide and rack base out
together.
To replace oven racks:
• Place rack on the rack support in
the oven; tilt the front end up
slightly; slide rack back until it
clears the lock-stop position; lower
front and slide back into the oven.
Baking and Roasting with the
Glide Rack
(lower oven only)
Baking
• For optimal baking results when baking on one rack, use
the glide rack.
• When baking on two racks, use the glide rack in the bottom
rack position, and the flat rack in the upper rack position.
Roasting
• When roasting large cuts of meat and poultry, use the glide
rack for ease of movement.
Oven Fan
A convection fan is used to circulate hot air in the oven when
the convection feature is selected. It automatically turns on
after the Convect Bake or Convect Roast pads are pressed
and will turn off when convection is canceled.
Important: The convection fans will automatically stop when
the oven door is opened.
