Safety Instructions
Using the oven.
To avoid possible burns, place the racks in the desired position before you turn the oven on.
Before you begin…
The racks have stops, 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 rack out until it stops.
The bake burner is under the oven floor.
Do not place foods on the oven bottom
for cooking.
To remove a rack, pull it toward you,
tilt the front end up and pull it out.
To replace, place the end of the rack
(stop-locks) on the support, tilt up the
front and push the rack in.
CAUTION:
When you are using
the rack in the lowest position (A), you will need
to use caution when pulling the rack out. We
recommend that you pull the rack out several
inches and then, using two pot holders, pull the
rack out by holding the sides of it. The rack is low
and you could be burned if you place your hand in
the middle of the rack and pull all the way out. Be
very careful not to burn your hand on the door
when using the rack in the lowest position (A).
The oven has 7 rack positions.
How to Set the Oven for Baking or Roasting
Touch the BAKE pad.
Touch the + or – pads until the
desired temperature is displayed.
Touch the START/ON pad.
The oven will start automatically. The
display will show “PrE” while preheating.
When the oven reaches the selected
temperature, the oven control will beep
several times and the display will show
the oven temperature.
To change the oven temperature during BAKE
cycle, touch the BAKE pad and then the + or –
pads to get the new temperature.
Check food for doneness at
minimum time on recipe. Cook
longer if necessary.
Touch the CLEAR/OFF pad when
baking is finished and then remove
the food from the oven.
NOTE: A cooling fan will automatically turn on
and off to cool internal parts. This is normal, and
the fan may continue to run even after the oven
in turned off.
If baking four cake layers at the same
time, place two layers on rack B and two
layers on rack D. Stagger pans on the
rack so one is not directly above the
other.
