Oven Light

The oven light comes on automatically when the door is opened.
Use the switch on the control panel to turn the oven light on when
the door is closed.
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.
Oven Shelves
The shelves are designed with stotwlocks so when
placed correctly on the shelf supp&ts, 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 "stop" position. 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 it toward
you, tilt the front end upward, and pull it out.
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 it all the way back.

USING YOUR 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 a
minimum of 3 hours. See the Operating the Self-
Cleaning Oven section.
A 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.
