Surface Cooking

*The suggested settings found in the chart above are based on cooking in medium thickness aluminum pans with lids.
Settings may vary when using other types of pans.
Do not place items such as salt and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic wrappings on top of
the cooktop when it is in use. These items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or wood could catch fire if placed too
close to the element.

Oven Vent(s) and Racks

This range has a fan that will turn "ON" and "OFF" by itself to keep the electronics cool. It may
continue to run after the range has been turned "OFF" but may also stop immediately to turn "ON" after a while.

Oven Vent Location
The oven is vented at the right side front panel and visible when the oven door is open or
through the right rear coil element. See illustration for the exact location. When the oven
is on, warm air is released through the vent(s). This venting is necessary for proper air
circulation in the oven and good baking results. DO NOT block the vent(s). Doing so may
cause cooking failures, fire or damage to the appliance.
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.
Be sure the oven is unplugged and all parts are COOL before replacing the
oven light bulb. Do not turn the oven light on during a self-cleaning cycle. High temperature
will reduce lamp life.
On some models an interior oven light will turn on automatically when the oven is opened.
The oven light may be turned on when the door is closed by using the oven light switch
located on the Electronic Oven control.
On a self-cleanning oven the lamp is covered with a glass shield held in place by a wire
holder.
THIS GLASS SHIELD MUST ALWAYS BE IN PLACE WHEN THE OVEN IS IN USE.
To Replace the Light Bulb:
BE SURE OVEN IS COOL
1. Turn the power off at the main source.
2. Wear a leather-faced glove for protection against possible broken glass.
3. Replace bulb with a 40 Watt appliance bulb only.
4. For self-cleaning oven, press wire holder to one side to release glass shield, change bulb
and be sure to replace glass shield.
