Oven Light (on some models)

The light comes on automatically when the door is opened.

On models with an oven window, use the switch to turn the light on and off when the door is closed.

Oven 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.

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 it 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 (the

 

curved extension of

shelf) facing up and

toward the rear of the

oven. Tilt up the front ~~ ‘- and push the shelf

toward the back of the q 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

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