USING YOUR OVEN
(continued)
Oven Shelves
The shelves are designed with stop-locks so that
when placed correctly on the shelf supports, they
will stop before coming out completely 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 shelves from the
oven, pull toward you,
tilt front end upward
and pull them out.
To replace,
place shelf
on shelf support with
stop-locks (curved
extension under
shelfl
facing up toward the
rear
of the oven. Tilt up front and
push the shelf toward the back of the oven until it goes
past “stop” on the oven wall. Then lower the front of
the shelf and push it all the way back.
