OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (cont’d)

Oven Racks:

Your oven is equipped with two specially shaped oven racks. If a rack is pulled straight out, the stop positions will

be engaged. To remove a rack from the oven, pull straight out and lift. Be sure the oven rack is cleared before

attempting to remove it from the side supports. Each side wall of the oven has three equally spaced ribs on which

the oven rack rests. On some models one of the racks is the standard or flat type. It may be placed on any one of

the 3 pairs of supporting ribs so that you can place food at whatever distance from the heating element you

consider best. The second rack may be of the “off-set” type. The shelf of this rack crosses the oven slightly above

the supporting ribs to give you additional in-between positions.

OVEN

COOKING

Baking:Any recipe for baking or roasting will give you an average temperature and a range of

time at which the food is to be cooked. You may adjust temperature and time when you become

familiar with your range.

To Operate the Oven:

1) Turn the OVEN TEMPERATURE CONTROL to the desired setting.

2) Set timer for manual operation, on models with analog or digital timers, by

pushing the STOP button in, electromechanical timer only.

3) Set OVEN SELECTOR CONTROL (where provided) to BAKE.

4) The oven indicator light will stay on until the oven reaches the set temperature.

During cooking, the indicator light will cycle on and off as elements are maintaining

the set temperature.

5) When the baking is done, turn the OVEN TEMPERATURE and the SELECTION

CONTROL (where provided) to the OFF position.

Air Circulation into the Oven:

• To cook food evenly, hot air must be able to circulate.

• For best air circulation and baking results allow two inches of space around bake ware and be sure pans and bake

ware do not touch each other, the oven door, sides or back of the oven cavity.

• The hot air must circulate around the pans and bake ware in the oven for even heat to reach around the food.

RECOMMENDED RACK POSITIONS FOR BROILING, BAKING AND ROASTING:

FOOD RACK POSITION

Broiling meats, chicken, or fish 1

Cookies, cakes, pies, biscuits, and muffins 1 or 2

Broiling fish, medium steaks, hamburgers and chops 2

Broiling well-done foods such as chicken and lobster 2

Frozen pies, angel food cake, yeast bread, casseroles, small cuts

of meat or poultry

Turkey, roast or ham 2

NUMBER OF PANS POSITION ON RACK

1 Center of rack

Side by side or slightly staggered

3 or 4

Opposite corners of rack, equally spaced across rack. Do not place

pans directly over top of one another.

Preheating Oven (on standard clean ovens only):

Your range is equipped for fast, dual element preheat. This means that when you set your Oven Temperature

Control directly to the desired baking temperature, both top element and lower element will come on. This will

bring your oven to the desired temperature quickly. The top element will remain on only until desired

temperature has been reached. After the selected temperature has been reached, the bottom element will cycle on

and off to maintain the set temperature.

NOTE: Should the oven door be opened during the normal baking mode, allowing the temperature to drop lower

than 100°F (38°C), the top element will come on to help restore the selected temperature more rapidly.

Important: Before baking or broiling manually (non-automatic), please check the following:

1) Make sure the timer is set to manual position, STOP button pushed in on analog and digital clocks,

electromechanical timers only.

2) The clock registers the correct time of day.

3) The time on the START TIME dial agrees with the time on the clock (analog and digital clocks only).
