Using the oven.

To avoid possible burns, place the shelves in the desired position before you turn the oven on.
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.
NOTE: 30
″
ovens (shown) have 7 shelf positions.
27
″
ovens have 4 shelf positions.
How to Set the Oven for Baking or Roasting
Press the
BAKE
pad.
Press the
TEMP +
or
–
pads to set the
desired temperature.
Press the
START
pad.
Check food for doneness at minimum
time on recipe. Cook longer if necessary.
Press the
CLEAR/OFF
pad when
cooking is complete.
NOTE: On some models the lower oven is
controlled with a knob or knobs. To set the oven
for baking turn the knob to the desired setting
and temperature. Turn the knob to OFF when
baking is complete.
If you have a two knob system, turn both knobs to
the desired setting and temperature to bake and
to the OFF position when baking is complete.
NOTE: A cooling 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.

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″between pans, from
the front, back and sides of the wall.
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.
