To avoid possible burns, place the shelves in the desired position
before you turn the oven on.
Before you begin…
The shelves have stop-locks, so that when placed
correctly on the supports, they will stop before coming
completely out, and will not tilt.
When placing and removing cookware, pull the shelf
out to the bump on the shelf support.
To remove a shelf, pull it toward you, tilt the front end up
and pull it out.
To replace, place the end of the shelf (stop-locks) on the
support, tilt up the front and push the shelf in.
The oven has 4 shelf positions.

Most recipes for baking have been developed using high fat products such as
butter or margarine (80% fat). If you decrease the fat, the recipe may not give the
same results as with a higher fat product.
Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies, pastries, cookies or candies are made
with low fat spreads. The lower the fat content of a spread product, the more
noticeable these differences become.
Federal standards require products labeled “margarine” to contain
at least 80% fat by weight. Low fat spreads, on the other hand,
contain less fat and more water. The high moisture content of these
spreads affect the texture and flavor of baked goods. For best results
with your old favorite recipes, use margarine, butter or stick spreads
containing at least 70% vegetable oil.
The type of margarine will affect baking performance!
