Using Your Oven

Before Using Your Oven

1.Look at the controls. Be sure you understand how to set them properly. Read over the directions for the Automatic Oven Timer so you understand its use with the controls.

2.Check oven interior. Look at the shelves. Take a practice run at removing and replacing them properly, to give sure, sturdy support.

3.Read over information and tips that follow.

4.Keep this book handy so you can refer to it, especially during the first weeks of getting acquainted with your oven.

Oven Controls

The controls for the oven(s) are marked OVEN SET and OVEN TEMP. OVEN SET has settin~s for BAKE, TIME BAKE (on mo~els so equipped), BROIL, CLEAN and OFF. When you turn the knob to the desired setting, the proper heating units are then activated for that operation.

OVEN TEMP maintains the temperature you set, from WARM (150”F.) to BROIL (550”F.) and also at CLEAN (880°F. ).

The Oven Cycling Light glows until the oven reaches your selected temperature, then goes off and on with the oven unit(s) during cooking.

PREHEATING the oven, even to high temperature settings, is speedy —rarely more than about 10 minutes. Preheat the oven only when necessary. Most foods will cook satisfactorily without preheating.

If you find preheating is necessary, keep an eye on the indicator light and-put f;od in the oven prom~tly after light goes out.

Oven Interior Shelves

The shelves are designed with stop-locks so that when placed correctly on the shelf supports, they (a) will stop before coming completely from the oven, and (b) will not tilt when removing food from or placing food on them.

TO REMOVE shelves from the oven, lift up rear of shelf, pull forward wfih stop-locks along top of shelf supports. Be certain that shelf is cool before touching.

TO REPLACE shelves in oven, insert shelf with stop-locks resting on shelf supports. Push shelf toward rear of oven; it will fall into place. When shelf is in proper position, stop-locks on shelf will run under shelf support when shelf is pulled forward.

Shelf Positions

The oven has four shelf supports marked A (bottom), B, C and D (top). Shelf positions for cooking food are suggested on Baking, Roasting and Broiling pages.

Oven Light

The light comes on automatically when the door is opened. On models with oven window use switch to turn light on and off when door

is closed.

Switch is located on front of door on some models, on control panel on other models.
