ven Shelves

The shelves are designed with stop-locks so when placed correctly on the shelf supports, they will stop before coming completely out of the oven and will not tilt when you are removing food from them 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 s] ide the shelf back into the oven.

This will eliminate reaching into the hot oven.

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

To replace, place the shelf on the shelf support with stop-locks (the curved extension of the shel~ 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 four shelf supports identified in this illustration as A (bottom), B, C and D (top).

elf positions for cooking are suggested in the daking and Roasting sections.

Oven Vent

Your oven is vented through duct openings at the center rear of the range. Do not block these ducts when cooking in the oven— it is important that the flow of hot air from the oven and fresh air to the oven burner be uninterrupted. Avoid touching the vent openings or nearby surfaces during oven or broiler operation-they may become hot.

Vent openings and nearby surfaces may become hot. Do not touch them.

Handles of pots and pans on the cooktop may become hot if left too close to the vent.

Do not leave plastic items on the cooktop—they may melt if left too close to the vent.

Do not leave any items on the cooktop. The hot air from the vent may ignite flammable items and will increase pressure in closed containers, which may cause them to burst.

Metal items will become very hot if they are left on the cooktop, and could cause burns.
