	OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (cont’d)
	Baking:Any recipe for baking or roasting will give you an average temperature and a range of
OVEN
	time at which the food is to be cooked. You may adjust temperature and time when you become
COOKING
	familiar with your range.

To Operate the Oven:

1) Turn the OVEN TEMPERATURE CONTROL to the desired setting.

2)Set timer for manual operation, on models with analog or digital timers, by

pushing the STOP button in, electromechanical timer only.

3) Set OVEN SELECTOR CONTROL (where provided) to BAKE.

4) The oven indicator light will stay on until the oven reaches the set temperature. During cooking, the indicator light will cycle on and off as elements are maintaining the set temperature.

5) When the baking is done, turn the OVEN TEMPERATURE and the SELECTION CONTROL (where provided) to the OFF position.

Oven Rack:

Your oven is equipped with one specially shaped oven racks. If a rack is pulled straight out, the stop position will be engaged. To remove a rack from the oven, pull straight out and lift. Be sure oven rack is cleared before attempting to remove it from the side supports. Each side wall of the oven has three equally spaced ribs on which these oven racks rest. On some models the rack is the standard or flat type. It may be placed on any one of the three pairs of supporting ribs so that you can place food at whatever distance from the heating element you consider best.The rack may also be of the “off-set” type. The shelf of this rack crosses the oven slightly above the supporting ribs to give you additional in-between positions.

RECOMMENDED RACK POSITIONS FOR BROILING, BAKING AND ROASTING:

FOOD	RACK POSITION
Broiling meats, chicken, or fish	1 or 2
Cookies, cakes, pies, biscuits, and muffins	2 or 3
Broiling fish, medium steaks, hamburgers and chops	2
Broiling well-done foods such as chicken and lobster	3
Frozen pies, angel food cake, yeast bread, casseroles, small cuts	3
of meat or poultry
Turkey, roast or ham	3

Air Circulation into the Oven:

•To cook food evenly, hot air must be able to circulate.

•For best air circulation and baking results allow two inches of space around bake ware and be sure pans and bake ware do not touch each other, the oven door, sides or back of the oven cavity.

•The hot air must circulate around the pans and bake ware in the oven for even heat to reach around the food.

Preheating Oven (on standard clean ovens only):

Your range is equipped for fast, dual element preheat. This means that when you set your Oven Temperature Control directly to the desired baking temperature, both top element and lower element will come on. This will bring your oven to the desired temperature quickly. The top element will remain on only until desired temperature has been reached. After the selected temperature has been reached, the bottom element will cycle on and off to maintain the set temperature.

NOTE: Should the oven door be opened during the normal baking mode, allowing the temperature to drop lower than 100°F (38°C), the top element will come on to help restore the selected temperature more rapidly.
