Some models have one oven control knob—

OVEN SET I OVEN TEMP

The Oven Cycling Light glows until the oven reaches your selected temperature, then goes off and on with the oven unit(s) during cooking.

OVEN TEMP. Other models have two oven control knobs—

OVEN TEMP and OVEN SET.

The OVEN SET knob has settings for BAKE, TIMED BAKE, BROIL and OFF.

OVEN TEMP control maintains the temperature you set, from WARM (150”F.) to BROIL (550”F.) and also at CLEAN (880”F.). On some models, the OVEN TEMP knob also turns the oven OFF.

PREHEATING the oven, even to high temperature settings, is speedy, It rarely takes longer than 10 minutes. Preheat the oven only when necessary. Most foods will cook satisfactorily without preheating. If you find preheating is necessary, keep an eye on the indicator light and put food in the oven promptly after light goes out.

The Oven On Light will glow any time the OVEN SET knob is not in the OFF position.

Oven Light (on some models)

The light comes on automatically when the door is opened. (On models with oven window, use switch to turn light on and off when door is closed.)

Switch is located on the front of the door.

Oven Interior Shelves

The shelves are designed with stop-locks, so that when placed correctly on the shelf supports, they will stop before coming completely out from the oven, and will not tilt when removing food from or placing food on them.
