Consumer Support
To avoid possible burns, place the shelves in the
desired position before you turn the oven on.
The shelves have stop-locks, so that when
placed correctly on the shelf supports (A
through E), 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.
NOTE: The shelf is not designed to slide out
at the special low shelf (R) position.

The oven cycling light glows until the
