Using the oven.
To avoid possible burns, place the shelves in the desired position before you turn the oven on.
Oven Control Knobs
Your range has two oven control knobs.
The
OVEN SET

BROIL, TIMED BAKE, BAKE
and

The

knob maintains the
temperature you set, from
WM (150°F.)

■The oven cycling light glows until the
oven reaches your selected temperature,
then goes off and on with the oven
element(s) during cooking.
How to Set the Oven for Baking or Roasting

Preheating and Pan Placement
Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it.
To preheat, set the oven at the correct
temperature. Preheating is necessary for
good results when baking cakes, cookies,
pastry and breads.
For ovens without a preheat indicator light or
tone, preheat 10 minutes.
Baking results will be better if baking pans
are centered in the oven as much as
possible. Pans should not touch each
other or the walls of the oven. If you need
to use two shelves, stagger the pans so one
is not directly above the other, and leave
approximately 1
1
⁄
2
² between pans, from
the front, back and sides of the wall.
Before you begin…
The shelves have stop-locks, so that when
placed correctly on the supports, 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.
The oven has 4 shelf positions.
Aluminum Foil
You can use aluminum foil to line the
broiler pan and broiler grid. However,
you must mold the foil tightly to the grid
and cut slits in it just like the grid.
Aluminum foil may also be used to catch a
spillover.
Never entirely cover a shelf with
aluminum foil. This will disturb the heat
circulation and result in poor baking.
A smaller sheet of foil may be used to
catch a spillover by placing it on a lower
shelf several inches below the food.
Cut slits in the foil just like the grid.
