USING YOUR OVEN

Before Using Your Oven

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

2.Check the inside of the oven. 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 oven.

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. To speed the process, set a self-clean cycle for 4 hours. See the Operating the Self-Cleaning Oven section.

•A cooling fan may automatically turn on and off to cool internal parts. This is normal, and the fan may continue to run even after the oven is turned off.

Oven Shelves

The shelves are designed with stop-locks so that,	Bump
when placed correctly on the shelf supports, they
will stop before coming completely out of 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 the shelf from the oven, pull the shelf 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 (curved extension of the shelf) facing up and toward the rear of the oven. Tilt up the 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.

Shelf Positions

The oven has four shelf supports identified in this illustration as A (bottom), B, C, and D (top).

See the Baking section for shelf placement suggestions.
