Using Your Oven

Before Using Your Oven
1.Look at the controls. Be sure to understand how to set
them properly. Read over the directions for the Oven
Controls in order to 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 information and tips that follow.
4.Keep this guide handy, especially during the first
weeks of use.
NOTE:
A "burning" or "oily" smell may be noticed the first
few times the oven is turned 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 some models)
for a minimum of 3 hours. See Operating the Self-
Cleaning Oven section.
Check the oven interior. Make sure all packaging
material has been removed.
The oven has four rack
positions to allow
adjustment for baking and
broiling.
The shelves are designed
with stop-locks so that
when placed correctly on
the shelf supports, they
will stop before coming
completely out from the
oven.

How to set the controls
When the control is in the OFF position, it must be
pushed in to turn. When control is in any position other
than OFF, it may be rotated without pushing in.
Be sure the control is in the OFF position when finished
cooking. An indicator light will glow whenever a
cooktop element is turned on.
Grasp control knob and
push in.
When placing cookware
on a shelf, pull the shelf
out to the stop position.
This will eliminate
reaching into the hot
oven. Place the
cookware on the centre
of the shelf, as placing
heavy cookware towards
the back of the rack
could cause the rack to tip when fully extended. Placing
the food in the centre of the rack will also allow better air
circulation for more uniform cooking. When loaded, slide
the shelf to the back of the oven.
To remove the rack
from the oven, pull it
forward and tilt the
front end upward. Be
certain that the rack
is cold before
touching with bare
hands.
To replace rack in oven, place the rack in desired
position so the rear of rack is toward the rear of the oven.
Tilt up the front of the rack and push it toward the back
of the oven until it goes past the ridge on the oven liner.
Lower the front of rack and push it to the back of the
oven.
Turn either clockwise or
counter clockwise to
desired heat setting.
