Using Your Oven

Before Using Your Oven

1. Look at the controls. Be sure
you understand how to set them
properly. Read over the directions
for the Automatic Oven Timer so
you understand its use with the
controls.
2. Check 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 book handy so you can
refer to it, especially during the
first weeks of getting acquainted
with your oven.

Oven Controls

The controls for the oven(s) are
marked OVEN SET and OVEN
TEMP. OVEN SET has settin~s for
BAKE, TIME BAKE (on mo~els so
equipped), BROIL, CLEAN and OFF.
When you turn the knob to the desired
setting, the proper heating units are
then activated for that operation.
OVEN TEMP maintains the
temperature you set, from WARM
also at CLEAN (880°F. ).
The Oven Cycling Light glows
until the oven reaches your selected
temperature, then goes off and on with
the oven unit(s) during cooking.
PREHEATING the oven, even to
high temperature settings, is speedy
—rarely more than about 10 minutes.
Preheat the oven only when
necessary. Most foods will cook
satisfactorily without preheating.
If you find preheating is necessary,
keep an eye on the indicator light
and-put f;od in the oven prom~tly
after light goes out.
Oven Interior Shelves
The shelves are designed with
stop-locks so that when placed
correctly on the shelf supports,
they (a) will stop before coming
completely from the oven, and (b)
will not tilt when removing food
from or placing food on them.
TO REMOVE shelves from the
oven, lift rear of shelf, pull
up
forward wfih stop-locks along top
of shelf supports. Be certain that
shelf is cool before touching.
TO REPLACE shelves in oven,
insert shelf with stop-locks resting
on shelf supports. Push shelf toward
rear of oven; it will fall into place.
When shelf is in proper position,
stop-locks on shelf will run under
shelf support when shelf is pulled
forward.

Shelf Positions

The oven has four shelf supports
marked A (bottom), B, C and D
(top). Shelf positions for cooking
food are suggested on Baking,
