Cooking mode
“BAKE”
For best baking results, use the following steps:
1. Place the rack in the correct position, before turning the oven to the "BAKE" setting.
2. Turn the oven function selector knob to the “BAKE” position.
3. Turn the thermostat control knob to the desired temperature and allow oven to pre-heat.
4.
The oven temperature light will illuminate while pre-heating, then the light will turn off when the
desired temperature is reached. For best baking results wait until the oven has fully preheated
before inserting food.
5. Check food at minimum time on the recipe to see if food has been cooked to your preference.
Cook longer if necessary.
6. When baking is completed, turn the function selector knob and thermostat control knob to the
“OFF” position, open door fully and remove the food.
For best cooking results, always remember that hot air must circulate around the pans in the oven so that
even heat reaches all parts of the oven. Therefore, place the pans in the center of oven and allow at least
2” space between pan and the surface of cavity.
Always remember that when the oven is hot, outside surfaces of the range get hot.
“BROIL”
Your Marathon deluxe 24” range has the unique feature of variable “BROIL” heat providing increased flexibility
when broiling.
When broiling, only the upper element is switched
“ON” . Use with the oven door closed and the note that
the thermostat can be set from 200 to 500°F even on “BROIL” setting.
For best broiling results, use the following steps:
1. Place the meat on the broil grid in broiler pan (sold separately) - Always use a slotted or angled broil
pan so that the fat drips into the broiler pan, otherwise the juices may catch on fire. Do not broil with
out using the broiler pan.
2. Position the broiler pan on the second rack position from the top.
3. Turn the oven function selector knob to the “BROIL” position.
4. Turn the oven thermostat control knob to the desired broil temperature.
5. The upper heat element will preheat and cycle "ON" and "OFF" to maintain the selected
temperature. For best broiling results wait until the broiler has fully preheated and the oven
thermostat light has turned off. Turn food over about halfway through the broiling time.
Always broil with the oven door closed.
6. When broiling is completed, turn the oven function selector knob and thermostat control knob to
the ’’OFF’’ position, open door fully and remove the food
*** WARNING***
CAUTION: The oven door becomes very hot during operation. Keep children well out of reach and use
the oven handle at all times.

pans and other cooking utensils from the oven.
