USING YOUR OVEN
(continued)
Oven Shelves
The shelves are
designed with stop-
locks so when placed
correctly on the shelf
supports, they will stop
before coming
completely out of the
oven and will not tilt
when you are removing
food from them or
placing food on them.
When placing cookware on a shelf, pull the shelf out
to the bump on the shelf support. Place the cookware
on the shelf, then slide the shelf back into the oven.
This will eliminate reaching into the hot oven.
To remove a shelf
from the oven, pull it
toward you, tilt the
front end upward and
pull the shelf out.
To replace, place the
shelf on the shelf
support with the stop-
locks (curved extension
of the shelf) facing up and toward the rear of the
oven. Tilt up the front and push the shelf toward the
back of the oven until it goes past the bump on the
shelf support. Then lower the front of the shelf and
push it all the way back.
Oven Vents
The oven is vented through duct openings at the rear
of the cooktop. See the Features section. Do not
block these openings when cooking in the oven—
it is important that the flow of hot air from the oven
and fresh air to the oven burners be uninterrupted.
• The vent openings and nearby surfaces may
become hot. Do not touch them.
• Handles of pots and pans on the cooktop may
become hot if left too close to the vent.
• Metal items will become very hot if they are
left on the cooktop and could cause burns.
• Do not leave any items on the cooktop. The hot
air from the vent may ignite flammable items and
will increase pressure in closed containers, which
may cause them to burst.
• Do not leave plastic
items on the cooktop—
they may melt if left
too close to the vent.
Shelf Positions
The oven has five shelf supports for baking and
roasting identified in this illustration as A (bottom),
B, C, D and E (top). It also has a special low shelf
position (R) for roasting extra large items, such as a
large turkey—the shelf is not designed to slide out at
this position. Shelf positions for cooking are
suggested in the Baking, Broiling and Roasting
sections.
