Safety Instructions

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 shelf supports (A
through F), 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. 

CAUTION:

When you are using the shelf in the lowest

position (A), you will need to use caution when pulling
the shelf out. We recommend that you pull the shelf
out several inches and then, using two pot holders, pull
the shelf out by holding the sides of it. The shelf is low
and you could be burned if you place your hand in the
middle of the shelf and pull all the way out. Be very
careful not to burn your hand on the door when using
the shelf in the lowest position (A).

The oven has 6 shelf 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.

Type of Food

Shelf Position

Frozen pies (on cookie sheet)

Bundt or pound cakes

C or D

Biscuits, muffins, brownies,

C or D

cookies, cupcakes, 
layer cakes, pies

Preheating and Pan Placement

Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it. 
Preheating is necessary for good results when
baking cakes, cookies, pastry and breads. 

The Display will show “PrE” while preheating. When 
the oven reaches the selected temperature, the oven
control will beep and the display will show the oven
temperature.

Baking results will be better if baking pans are
centered in the oven as much as possible. If
baking with more than one pan, place the
pans so each has at least 1 to 1

1

2

of air space

around it. If baking four cake layers at the
same time, place two layers on shelf B and two
layers on shelf D. Stagger pans on the shelf so
one is not directly above the other. 

Center baking pans in the oven.

Using the oven.

Aluminum Foil

Do not use aluminum foil on the bottom of the oven.

Never entirely cover a shelf with aluminum
foil. This will disturb the heat circulation and
result in poor baking.

A smaller sheet of foil may be used to catch 
a spillover by placing it on a lower shelf several 
inches below the food.
