Using the oven

Baking

1.Position the rack(s) properly before turning on the oven. To change rack position, pull rack out to stop, raise front edge and lift out.

The racks should be placed so the top of the food will be centered in the oven. Always leave at least

1 l/2 to 2 inches (4-5 cm) between the sides of the pan and the oven walls and other pans.

2.Set the Oven Selector to BAKE. The Oven Indicator Light will come on.

3.Set the Oven Temperature Control to the baking temperature you want.

4.Put food in the oven.

During baking, the elements will turn on and off to keep the temperature at the setting. The Oven Indicator Light will turn on and off with the elements.

The top element helps heat, during baking, but does not turn red.

5.When baking is done, turn both the Oven Selector and Oven Temperature Control to OFF.

Broiling

1.Position the rack(s) before turning the oven on. Refer to a rack placement chart and broiling chart in a reliable cookbook for recommended rack positions and broiling times.

2.Put the broiler pan and food on the rack and close the door to the Broil Stop position (open about 4 inches,

10.2cm). The door will stay open by itself. Door can remain closed during broiling, however results may differ.

NOTE: Do not preheat the broiler before using.

3.Set the Oven Selector and Oven Temperature Control to BROIL. The Oven Indicator Light will come on.

4.When broiling is done, turn both the Oven Selector and Oven Temperature Control to OFF. The Oven Indicator Light will go off.

Using the Cook Timer

The automatic Cook Timer is designed to turn the oven on and off at times you set, even when you are not around.

Automatic baking is ideal for foods which do not require a preheated oven such as meats and casseroles. Do not use the automatic cycle for cakes, cookies, etc...undercooking will result.

To start baking now and stop automatically:

1.Position rack(s) properly, and place the food in the oven.

2.Make sure the clock is set to the correct time-of-day. (See “Setting the electronic clock” on page 4.)

3.Set the Oven Selector to TIMED BAKE.

4.Set the Oven Temperature Control to the baking temperature you want.

5.Push the Stop Time button.

6.Push the Up button to set the desired stop time. AUTO will appear on the display and the Oven Indicator Light will come on to signal the start of the cooking cycle. When the desired stop time is reached the Oven Indicator Light will go off, a lo-second tone will sound and the display will return to the current time-of-day. The AUTO light will flash on and off until the Cancel/Clock button is pushed. The oven will shut off automatically.

7.After baking is done or to stop the oven before preset time, push the Cancel/Clock button and turn both the Oven Selector and the Oven Temperature Control to OFF.

To delay start and stop automatically:

1.Position the oven rack(s) properly, and place the food in the oven.

2.Make sure the clock is set to the correct time-of-day. (See “Setting the electronic clock” on page 4.)
