Tips Care and Cleaning

The oven has 5 rack positions.

It also has a special low rack position (R) for extra large items, such as a large turkey.

Before you begin…

To avoid possible burns, place the racks in

the desired position before you turn the oven on.

The racks have stop-locks, so that when placed correctly on the rack supports (A through E), they will stop before coming completely out, and will not tilt. When placing and removing cookware, pull the rack out to the bump on the rack support.

To remove a rack, pull it toward you, tilt the front end up and pull it out. To replace, place the end of the rack (stop-locks) on the support, tilt up the front and push the rack in.

NOTE: The rack is not designed to slide out at the special low rack (R) position.

Consumer Support Troubleshooting

The oven has a special low rack (R) position just above the oven bottom. Use it when extra cooking space is needed, for example, when cooking a large turkey. The rack is not designed to slide out at this position.

How to Set the Oven for Baking or Roasting

Touch the BAKE pad.

Touch the + or – pads until the desired temperature is displayed.

Touch the START/ON pad.

The oven will start automatically. The display will show PRE while preheating. When the oven reaches the selected temperature, the oven control will beep and the display will show the oven temperature.

To change the oven temperature during BAKE cycle, touch the BAKE pad and then the + or – pads to get the new temperature.

(on models without an oven temperature knob)

Check food for doneness at minimum time on recipe. Cook longer if necessary.

Touch the CLEAR/OFF pad when baking is finished and then remove the food from the oven.
