Operating Instructions

Safety Instructions

Using the oven.

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.

On some models, the bake heating element
is under the oven floor. Do not place
foods on the oven bottom for cooking.

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.

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. 

To preheat, set the oven at the correct
temperature. The control will beep when 
the oven is preheated and the display will 
show your set temperature. This will take
approximately 10–15 minutes.

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.

How to Set the Oven for Baking or Roasting

Touch the 

BAKE

pad.

Touch the number pads to set 
the desired temperature.

Touch the 

START

pad.

NOTE:

You will hear the convection fan

while the oven is preheating. The fan will
stop after the oven is preheated and the

display shows your set temperature. 
This is normal.

Check food for doneness at
minimum time on recipe. Cook
longer if necessary.

Touch the 

CLEAR/OFF

pad when

cooking is complete.

Do not place foods directly on the
oven floor.

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.
