USING YOUR OVEN

Before Using Your Oven

1.Look at the controls. Be sure you understand how to set them properly.

2.Check the oven interior. 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 range.

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.

Oven Shelves

The shelves are designed with stop-locks so that

Bump

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.

 

When placing cookware on a shelf, pull the shelf out to the bump on the shelf support. Place the cookware on the shelf, then slide the shelf back into the oven.

This will eliminate reaching into the hot oven.

To remove a shelf from the oven, pull the shelf toward you, tilt the front end upward and pull the shelf out.

To replace, place the shelf on the shelf support with the stop-locks (curved extension of the shelf) facing up and toward the rear of the oven. Tilt up the front and push the shelf toward the back of the oven until it goes past the bump on the shelf support. Then lower the front of the shelf and push it all the way back.

Shelf Positions

The oven has 4 shelf supports identified in this illustration as A (bottom), B, C and D (top).

Shelf positions for cooking are suggested in the Baking, Roasting and Broiling sections.
