Arranging Oven Racks
ALWAYS ARRANGE OVEN RACKS WHEN THE OVEN IS COOL (PRIOR TO OPERATING
THE OVEN). Always use oven mitts when using the oven.
Before Setting Oven
Controls
To remove an oven rack, pull the rack
forward until it stops. Lift up front of rack
and slide out. To replace an oven rack,
fit the rack onto the guides on the oven
walls. Tilt the front of the rack upward
and slide the rack back into place.
The rungs on the offset rack are slightly
raised from the edges of the rack. This
raised part of the rack is designed to
allow easy and safe removal of foods
from the lower racks of the oven and
prevent hands from contacting the hot
oven door.
Oven Vent Location
The oven is vented through the center
rear of the cooktop. When the oven is
on, warm air is released through the
vent. This venting is necessary for proper
burner operation in the oven. DO NOT
block the vent. Doing so may cause
baking failures, fire or damage to the
range.

To Bake
1. Arrange oven racks while the oven is still cool. See "Arranging Oven Racks"
under Before Setting Oven Controls.
2. Push in and turn the Temperature Control knob to the desired temperature.
3. Preheat the oven for 10 to 12 minutes before baking. Preheating is not
necessary when roasting, cooking casseroles or broiling most foods.
4. When cooking is finished, turn the Temperature Control knob to OFF.
To Broil
Broiling is done in the compartment below the oven cavity. Food is broiled by the
same burner that heats the oven. The broiler compartment rolls out for easy
checking and turning of food.
1. Open the broiler drawer and roll the broiler compartment out.
2. Arrange broiler pan while broil compartment is still cool. For rare meats, position
the broiler pan closer to the burner (upper position). For well-done foods such
as chicken, lobster tails or thick cuts of meat, position the pan further from the
burner (lower position).
Rack Position From Top Food
1 Rare steaks
2-3 Ham slices, fish, hamburgers and medium
steaks and chops
4 Well-done foods such as chicken and lobster
3. Push in and turn the Temperature Control knob to BROIL.
4. Place the grid on the broiler pan, then place the meat on the grid. DO NOT use
the broiler pan without the grid or cover the grid with aluminum foil. The
exposed fat could ignite.
5. Push the compartment all the way into the range and close the drawer.
6. Broil on one side until food is browned; turn and cook on the second side.
Season and serve. Note: Always pull the broiler compartment out to the stop
position before turning or removing food.
7. When broiling is finished, turn the Temperature Control knob to OFF.
Temperature Control Knob
Broiler pan and its grid allow dripping
grease to drain and be kept away from
the high heat of the broiler. DO NOT use
the pan without its grid. DO NOT cover
the grid with foil. The exposed grease
could ignite.
Should an oven fire occur,
leave the oven door closed and turn the
oven off. If the fire continues, throw
baking soda on the fire or use a fire
extinguisher. DO NOT put water or flour
on the fire. Flour may be explosive.
