Shelf Positions

The oven has five shelf supports for baking and
roasting identified in this illustration as A (bottom),
B, C, D and E (top). It also has a special low shelf
position (R) for roasting extra large items, such as a
large turkey—the shelf is not designed to slide out at
this position. Shelf positions for cooking

suggested
in the Baking, Broiling and Roasting sections.
