The lower oven is always set with two knobs:

1 YZ to 2 inches (4-5 cm] between
the sides of the pan and the oven
walls and other pans. For more

3. Set the Oven Temperature Con­trol to the baking temperature
you want.

Light goes off, the oven is pre­heated. Put food in the oven.
Note: Oven racks, walls and
door will be hot.

5. During baking, the elements will
turn on and off to keep the oven
temperature at the setting. The
Lower Oven Indicator Light will
turn on and off with the elements.
