HOW TO OPERATE THE OVEN
NOTE The oven indicator light will glow when there is electric power to the bake element. When the oven
temperature setting is reached, the indicator light will go off. It lights up again when the power comes back on the bake
element.
The oven indicator light glows until the oven reaches your selected temperature, then goes OFF and ON with the oven
element(s) during cooking.
Baking
Before baking, positions racks and bake ware according to “Arranging oven racks and Air circulation in the oven”
sections.
1. Preheat the oven before start baking. To preheat, set the oven at the correct temperature. Preheating is necessary
for good results when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and breads. Preheat the oven for 10 minutes.
2. Turn the oven control clockwise to the temperature setting desired. Check food for doneness at the minimum
time shown in the recipe. Cook longer if necessary.
3. Turn the oven control knob OFF when cooking is complete.
Broiling
Before broiling, position rack according to “Arranging oven racks” section.
To broil, turn the oven control clockwise to BROIL. It is not necessary to preheat the oven unless recommended
in the recipe. Position food on broiler pan provided with the range. It is designed to drain juices and help prevent
spatter and smoke. Close the door to the broil stop position to ensure proper broiling temperature.
Broil on one side until food is browned, turn and cook on the second side. Always pull the rack out to the stop
position before turning or removing food.
Turn the oven control knob OFF when cooking is complete.
CAUTION Should an oven fire occur, close the oven door and turn OFF the oven. If the fire continues, use a fire
extinguisher. DO NOT put water or flour on the fire. Flour may be explosive.
