Using
Your
Oven
Before Using Your Oven
1. Look
at
the controls.
Be
sure
you understand how to set them
properly. Read over the directions
for the Automatic
Oven Timer so
you understand its use with the
controls.
2. Check oven interior. Look
at
the
shelves. Take a practice
run
at
re-
moving and replacing them prop-
erly, to give sure sturdy support.
3. Read over information
and
tips
that
follow.
4. Keep this
book
handy so you
can refer to it, especially during the
first weeks of getting acquainted
with your oven.
Oven Controls
The controls for the oven(s) are
marked
OVEN
SET
and
OVEN
TEMP
. OVEN
SET
has settings
for BAKE,
TIME
BAKE, BROIL,
CLEAN
and
OFF
. When you turn
the knob to the desired setting, the
proper heating units are then acti-
vated for
that
operation.
OVEN
TEMP
maintains the tem-
perature you set from WARM
(150°) to
BROIL
(550°) and also at
CLEAN
(880°). The Oven Cycling
Light glows until oven reaches the
selected temperature, then goes off
and
on
with the oven unit(s) during
cooking.
PREHEATING
the oven,
even to high temperature settings,
is
speedy-rarely
more
than
about
10
minutes.
Preheat
the oven only
when necessary. Most foods will
cook
satisfactorily without preheat-
ing.
If
you find preheating
is
neces-
sary, keep
an
eye
on
the indicator
light and
put
food in the oven
promptly after light goes out.
