SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS Before Setting Oven Controls Oven Vent Location The oven is vented at the upper control panel or at the center trim. When the oven is on, warm air is released through the vent. This venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and good baking results. Arranging Oven Racks ALWAYS ARRANGE OVEN RACKS WHEN THE OVEN IS COOL (PRIOR TO OPERATING THE OVEN). Always use oven mitts when using the oven. To remove an oven rack, pull the rack forward until it stops. Lift up front of rack and slide out. To replace an oven rack, fit the rack onto the guides on the oven walls. Tilt the front of the rack upward and slide the rack back into place. Some models have an offset rack. The rungs on the offset rack are slightly raised from the edges of the rack. This raised part of rack is designed to allow easy and safe removal of foods from lower racks of the oven and prevent hands from contacting the hot oven door. Always use the offset rack in the lower position. Setting Oven Controls For oven settings, refer to the timer section or the electronic oven control guide. For models with dual cavity: Upper oven see the electronic oven control P/N 318130805, and lower oven see P/N 318200105. 4 Air Circulation in the Oven For good air circulation in the oven and best baking results, center pans as much as possible. Allow 2" to 4" around the utensil(s) for proper air circulation and be sure pans do not touch each other, the door, sides or back of oven. The hot air must circulate around the pans in the oven for even heat to reach all parts of the oven. If using multiple pans, stagger as shown. If using one pan, place in center of oven. Baking For best cooking results, heat the oven before baking cookies, breads, cakes, pies or pastries, etc... There is no need to preheat the oven for roasting meat or baking casseroles.
