Before Using the Oven

USING YOUR OVEN

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

set them properly. Read over the directions for the

Oven Controls so you understand how to use them.

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 oven.

Your oven temperature is controlled very accurately using an oven control system. We recommend that you operate the oven for a number of weeks using the given on recipes as a guide to become familiar with your new oven’s performance. If you think an adjustment is necessary, see the Adjust the Oven Thermostat section. It gives easy instructions on how to adjust the thermostat.

● A fan may automatically turn on and off to cool

● 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 a minimum of 3 hours. See the Operating the Self-Cleaning Oven section,

9ven 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 a shelf from the oven, pull it 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 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

all the way back.

Shelf Positions

The oven has four shelf supports identified in this

illustration as A (bottom), B, C and D (top). Shelf positions for cooking are suggested in the

Baking, Roasting and Broiling sections.

Automatic Oven Shut Off

As a safety feature, the single oven and the upper oven of double oven models will automatically shut itself off if it has been left on for more than 12 hours.

On double ovens, only the top oven has this feature.

Oven Vent

When the oven is on, heated air moves through a vent

above the door or between door and air grille. The vent area could get hot during oven use.

The vent is needed for proper air flow in the oven and

good baking results. Do not block this vent.
