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.

Oven Shelves

The shelves are desimed with stop-locks so that when placed correct~y on the shel~ supports, they will stop before coming completely out from the oven, and will not tilt when removing food from 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.

To remove the shelf from the oven, pull it forward to the stop-locks and lift the front of the shelf. Be certain that the shelf is cool before touching it.

To replace the shelf in the oven, tilt the shelf up at the front and slide the curved extension of the shelf under the stop-locks on the shelf supports. Then slide the shelf all the way into the oven.

NOTE: The shelves for the convection oven are 2 inches shorter than the regular oven shelves.

NOTE:

●You may notice a “burning” or “oily” smell the first few times you turn your 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.

●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.
