Indicator Light

Indicator Light

Some models have an indicator light for each heating unit, other models have an indicator light for each pair of heating units.

The indicator light glows as soon as a heating unit is turned on. Check if the indicator light glows when the control knob of the individual heating unit is turned on. If the knob is set to a very low temperature setting, the indicator may glow and yet, the heating unit may not be heating at all. If this happens, turn the knob to a higher setting until the heating unit comes on.

When cooking is finished, a quick glance at the indicator lights is an easy check to be sure all the control knobs have been turned to OFF “ Oven Baking” .

Oven Baking

For best cooking results, heat the oven before baking cookies, breads, cakes, pies or pastries, etc... There is no need to preheat the oven for roasting meat or baking casseroles.

The cooking times and temperatures needed to bake a product may vary slightly from your previously owned appliance.
