USING YOUR OVEN
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 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 book handy so you can refer to it,
especially during the first weeks of using your
new range.
NOTE:
A fan may automatically turn on to cool internal
parts. This is normal, and the fan may continue to
run even after the oven is turned off.
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 dissipate in a short time. To speed
the process, set a self-clean cycle (see the Operating
the Self-Cleaning Oven section.) lasting a minimum
of 3 hours.
Oven Shelves
The shelves are designed with stop-locks so that
when placed correctly on the shelf supports, they
will stop before coming completely out of 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 shelves
from the oven, pull
them toward you, tilt
the front end upward
and pull them out.
