BAKING
Do not lock the oven door with the latch during
baking. The latch is used for self-cleaning only.
Your oven temperature is controlled very accurately
using an oven control system. We recommend that
you operate the range for a number of weeks using the
time given on recipes as a guide to become familiar
with your new oven’s performance. 
If you think an adjustment is necessary, see the Adjust
the Oven Thermostat section. It gives easy Do It
Yourself 
instructions on how to adjust the thermostat.
NOTE: When the oven is hot, the top and outside
surfaces of the range get hot too.
How to Set Your Range for Baking
To avoid possible burns, place the shelves in the
correct position before you turn the oven on.
1. Press the BAKE pad.
2. Press the + or – pad. 
The last oven set temperature appears in the
display. Continue pressing until the desired
temperature is displayed.
The oven will start automatically. The word “ON”
and “100°” will be displayed. As the oven heats up,
the display will show the changing temperature.
When the oven reaches the temperature you set, a
tone will sound.
3. Press the CLEAR/OFF pad when baking is finished
and then remove the food from the oven.
To change the oven temperature during the
BAKE cycle, 
press the BAKE pad and then the 
+ or – pad to get the new temperature.

Oven Shelves
Arrange the oven
shelf or shelves in
the desired locations
while the oven is
cool. The correct
shelf position
depends on the kind
of food and the
browning desired. 
As a general rule,
place most foods in the middle of the oven, on either
shelf positions B or C. See the chart for suggested
shelf positions. B will be used more than C.

Preheating
Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it. Preheat means
bringing the oven up to the specified temperature
before putting the food in the oven. To preheat, set the
oven at the correct temperature—selecting a higher
temperature does not shorten preheat time.
Preheating is necessary for good results when baking
cakes, cookies, pastry and breads. 
For most casseroles and roasts, preheating is not
necessary. For ovens without a preheat indicator light
or tone, preheat 10 minutes. After the oven is
preheated, place the food in the oven as quickly as
possible to prevent heat from escaping.
