The oven is vented through one of the rear surface elements on coil element ranges. When the range is on, warm air is
released through the element. This venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and for good baking results.
Do not block vent with aluminum foil or other material. Utensils can be placed on the surface element when the oven is on,
but they may become hot.
The vent on the ceramic glass cook-top range is located on the vertical surface behind the glass top surface.
DO NOT LEAVE PLASTIC ITEMS ON THE
COOKTOP. THEY MAY MELT IF LEFT TOO
CLOSE TO THE VENT OR BURNERS.
METAL ITEMS WILL BECOME VERY HOT IF
THEY ARE LEFT ON THE COOKTOP AND
COULD CAUSE BURNS.
VENT OPENINGS AND NEARBY SURFACES
MAY BECOME HOT. DO NOT TOUCH
THEM.
HANDLES OF POTS AND PANS ON THE
COOKTOP MAY BECOME HOT IF LEFT
Your oven temperature is controlled very accurately using an electric oven control system. We recommend that you operate
the oven for a number of weeks to become familiar with your new oven’s performance.
Your new oven may heat differently than your old oven. The times and temperatures to which you have been accustomed
may vary slightly because of these differences.
To use your oven, turn the oven control dial clockwise to the desired temperature. DO NOT
TURN TO THE BROIL SETTING AND THEN BACK TO THE DESIRED TEMPERATURE. When
the control is turned on, the bake element turns to full power until the set temperature is
reached, then temperature is maintained by the bottom element cycling on and off.
WARNING: WHEN THE OVEN IS HOT, THE TOP AND OUTSIDE SURFACES OF THE
RANGE ALSO GET HOT.
WARNING: KEEP OVEN FREE FROM GREASE BUILDUP.
OVEN INDICATOR LIGHT (Optional on some models)
The oven indicator light will go on when the oven control is turned on. As the oven
heat reaches the selected temperature the light goes off. As the oven elements turn on
and off to maintain the selected temperature during the cooking operation, the red in-
dicator light will go on and off.
INITIAL OVEN OPERATION
Slight odor or smoke from the insulation around the oven liner is normal for the first few times the oven is used. This is
temporary.
PREHEAT
The oven should be preheated for most baked products (cakes, pies, bread, etc….) or when using temperatures below 225
⁰
F.
Time and temperature suggestions in most cookbooks are for preheated ovens. Preheat oven by rotating the temperature
control dial to the temperature needed for the product being cooked. Allow 10 to 12 minutes before putting food in the oven.
