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 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 rack out to the bump on the
rack support.
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.
NOTE:
The oven has 7 rack positions.
CAUTION:
Never place cooking utensils or any other
items on the oven floor. There is a heating element
beneath the oven floor. Placing items on the oven floor
may cause the oven to overheat, resulting in damage
to the oven and risk of damage or fire to cabinets.
How to Set the Oven for Baking or Roasting

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.
Baking results will be better if baking
pans are centered in the oven as much
as possible. Pans should not touch each
other or the walls of the oven. If you
need to use two racks, stagger the pans
so one is not directly above the other,
and leave approximately 1
1
⁄
2
″
between
pans, from the front, back and sides
of the wall.
NOTE:
A cooling fan may
automatically turn on and off to
cool internal parts. This is normal,
and the fan may continue to run
even after the oven is turned off.
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
may take approximately 10 minutes.
Aluminum Foil
Do not use aluminum foil on the bottom
of the oven.
Never entirely cover a rack 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
rack several inches below the food.
