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 lists 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. Turn the Oven Temperature knob to the
temperature you desire. The OVEN ON indicator
light will glow when the Oven Temperature knob is
turned on.
2. When the temperature inside the oven reaches the
set temperature, the PREHEATED indicator light
will glow and a tone will sound. Place the food in
the oven.
3. Check food for doneness at minimum time on
recipe. Cook longer if necessary.
4. Turn the Oven Temperature knob to OFF and
then remove the foods.
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 position B or C. See the chart for suggested shelf
positions.

Biscuits or muffins B or C
Cookies or cupcakes B or C
Brownies B or C
Layer cakes B or C
Bundt or pound cakes A or B
Pies or pie shells B or C
Frozen pies A (on cookie sheet)
Casseroles B or C

Preheating
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.
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.
