Instructions

Using the upper oven.

To avoid possible burns, place the racks in the desired position before you turn the oven on.

Operating Instructions Safety

Before you begin…

The upper rack, with two front handles, has stops, so that when placed correctly on the supports, it will stop before coming completely out, and will not tilt.

NOTE: Use the rack with the two front handles in the upper oven.

When placing and removing cookware, pull the rack out until it stops.

To remove a rack, pull it toward you, tilt the front end up and pull it out.

The oven has 2 rack positions.

To replace, place the end of the rack (stop-locks) on the support, tilt up the front and push the rack in.

CAUTION: When you are using a rack in the lowest position (A), you will need to use caution when pulling the rack out. (Be sure to use the handles on the rack.) We recommend that you pull the rack out several inches and then, using two pot holders, pull the rack out by holding the sides of it. The rack is low and you could

be burned if you place your hand in the middle of the rack and pull all the way out. Be very careful not to burn your hand on the door when using the rack in the lowest position (A).

Consumer Support Troubleshooting Tips Care

Flat rack

Handles

Use the rack with the two front handles in the upper oven.

Do not place foods directly on the oven floor.

Preheating and Pan Placement

Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it. Preheating is necessary for good results when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and breads.

To preheat, set the oven at the correct temperature. The control will beep when the oven is preheated and the display will show your set temperature. This will take approximately 4–6 minutes.

Baking results will be better if baking pans are centered in the oven as much as possible. If baking with more than one pan, place the pans so each has at least 1″ to 112″ of air space around it.
