USING YOUR OVEN
OVEN
CHARACTERISTICS
OVEN BURNER
The size and appearance of a properly
adjusted oven burner flame should be
as shown:
Cone in center is smaller
Cone approx. 1/2-inch
The oven temperature is maintained by
cycling the burner on and off. After the
oven temperature has been set, there
wilt be about a 45 second delay before
the burner ignites. This is normal, and
no gas escapes during this delay_
During the clean cycle, and some ex-
tended oven cooking operations, you
may hear a "popping" sound when the
burner cycles off. This is a normal oper-
ating sound of the burner.
OVEN RACKS
The two oven racks are designed with a
"lock-stop" position to keep racks from
accidentally coming completely out of
the oven.
To remove: Be sure rack is cool. Pull
rack out to the "lock-stop" position. Tilt
up and continue pulling until rack re-
leases.
To replace: Place rack on rack sup-
ports, tilt up and push toward rear of
oven. Pull rack out to "lock-stop" posi-
tion to be sure rack is correctly replaced.
RACK POSITIONS:
RACK 1 (top of oven) used for 2 rack
cooking of oven meals.
RACK 2 used for two-rack baking or
broiling thicker cuts of meat.
RACK 3 used for most one-rack baking
and roasting some meats.
RACK 4 used for one or two rack baking
and roasting large meats, cooking
larger foods and for baking angel food
cake or pie shells.
RACK 5 used for roasting turkey or bak-
ing angel food cake or pie shells.
HINTS:
NEVER place pans directly on the oven
bottom. Do not cover entire rack with
aluminum foil. Do not place foil directly
on oven bottom or place foil directly un-
der utensil. To catch spillovers, cut a
piece of foil a little larger than the pan
and place it on the rack below the rack
containing the utensil.
If cooking on two racks, stagger pans so
one is not directly over the other, Use
rack positions 2 and 4, or 2 and 5, de-
pending on baking results, when cook-
ing on two racks,
PREHEATING
Preheating is necessary for baking. Al-
low oven to heat for 10 to 15 minutes be-
fore adding food. It is not necessary to
preheat oven for roasting.
It is not necessary to preheat for broiling
unless darker browning is desired or if
cooking thin (3/4-inch) steaks. Allow
burner to preheat 3 minutes.
Selecting temperature higher than de_
sired will NOT preheat the oven any
faster. Preheating at a higher tempera-
ture may have a negative effect on bak-
ing results.
To preheat: Set oven for baking and al-
low the oven to heat until display shows
the preset temperature. 100 will appear
in the display until the oven reaches
100°F. The display will then show the
oven temperature in 5° increments until
the oven reaches the preset tempera-
ture.
Once the preset temperature is
reached, and the oven temperature has
stabilized, a single beep will sound.
If the oven temperature ischanged after
preheating, a beep will signal that the
oven has reached the new temperature
setting.
