Before Using Your Oven
1.
Look at the controls. Be sure you understand
how to set them properly. Read over the directions
for the Oven Controls so you understand how to
use them.
2. Check the inside of the oven. 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. To speed the process, set a self-clean cycle for
a minimum of 3 hours. See the Operating the Self-
Cleaning Oven section.
A fan may automatically turn on and off to cool
internal parts. This is normal and the fan may
continue to run even after the oven is turned off.
Oven Shelves
The shelves are
desimed
with stop-locks so that
II
when placed
correct~y
on the
shel~
supports, they
will stop before coming completely out from the
oven, and will not tilt when removing food from or
placing food on them.
When placing cookware on a shelf, pull the shelf out
to the “stop” position. 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 shelf from the oven, pull it forward to
the stop-locks and lift the front of the shelf. Be certain
that the shelf is cool before touching it.
To replace the shelf in the oven, tilt the shelf up at
the front and slide the curved extension of the shelf
under the stop-locks on the shelf supports. Then slide
(continued next page)
the shelf all the way into the oven.
NOTE:
The shelves for the convection oven are
2 inches shorter than the regular oven shelves.
