Using Your Oven (ooo oood)
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 coolcware on a shelf, pull the shelf out
to the bump on the shelfsupporto Place the cookware
on the shelf, then slide the shelf back into the ovem
This will eliminate reaching into the hot oven.
To remove a shdf from
the oven, pull it toward
you, tilt the front end
upward and pull the
shelf out,
To replace, place the
shelf on tile shelf
support with the stop-locks (curved extension of 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 supporto Then
lower the front of the shelf and push it all the way back°
Shelf Positions
The oven has five shelf
supports for baking and
roasting as shown in this
illustration--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. The shelf
positions for cooking are suggested in the Baking and
Roasting sections.
Oven Vents
The oven is vented through duct openings at the rear
of the cooktop. See 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.
Do not leave plastic
items on the
cooktop---_ey may
melt ff left too
close to the vent.
Vent appearance and location vary
Handles of pots and pans on the cooktop may
become hot if left too dose 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
wit1 increase pressure in closed containers, which may
cause them to burst°
Oven Moisture
As your oven heats up, the temperature change of
the air in the oven may cause water droplets to
form on the door glass. These droplets are harmless
and will evaporate as the oven continues to heat up.
