Using Your Oven

Before Using Your Oven

1.Look at the controls. Be sure you understand how to set them properly. Read over the directions for the Oven Controls so you understand how to use them.

2.Check the inside of the oven. Look at the shelves. Take a practice run at removing and replacing them properly, to give sure, sturdy support.

3.Read over the information and tips that follow.

4.Keep this guide handy so you can refer to it, especially during the first weeks of using your new oven.

NOTE:

●A 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.

●You nmy notice a “burning” or “oily>’ smell the first few times you turn the oven on. This is normal in a new oven and will disappear in a short time. To speed the process, set a self-clean cycle for a minimum of 3 hours. See the Operating the Self-Cleaning Oven section.

Automatic Ignition

The oven burner is lighted by electric ignition.

To light the burner, press the pad for the desired function and press the INCREASE or DECREASE pad until the desired temperature is displayed. The burner should ignite within 60 seconds.

After the oven reaches the selected temperature, the oven burner cycles off completely, then on with a full flame to keep the oven temperature controlled.

Power Outage

The oven burner will not light in the event of an electrical power outage. Do not attempt to light it manually with a match.

Oven Light

The oven light comes on automatically when the oven door is opened. Use the switch on the control panel to turn the light on and off when the door is closed.

Oven Vent

When the oven is on, heated air moves through a vent behind the grille. See the Features of Your Oven section.

The vent area could get hot during oven use.

The vent is needed for proper air flow in the oven and good baking results. Do not block this vent. Doing so may cause oven failure or fire.

NOTE: A 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.

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 “stop” position. Place the cookware on the shelf, then slide the shelf back into the oven. This will eliminate reaching into the hot oven.
