USING YOUR OVEN

Before Using Your Oven

1.Look at the controls. Be sure you understand how to set them properly.

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

3.Read over the information and tips that follow.

4.Keep this guide handy so you can refer to it, especially during the first weeks of using your new range.

NOTE: You may notice a “burning” or “oily” smell the first few times you turn your oven on. This is normal in a new oven and will disappear in a short time. See the Operating the Self-Cleaning Oven section.

Oven 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 slide the shelf back into the oven.

This will eliminate reaching into the hot oven.

To remove the shelves from the oven, pull them toward you, tilt front end upward and pull them out.

To replace, place the shelf on the shelf support with the stop-locks (curved extension of the shelf) facing up and toward the rear of the oven. Tilt up 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.
