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.
How to Time Bake The oven control allows you to turn the oven on or off automatically at specific times that you set. NOTE: Before beginning make sure the oven clock shows the correct time of day. How to Set Immediate Start and Automatic Stop To avoid possible burns, place the shelves in the correct position before you turn the oven on.

NOTE: The low temperature zone of this range (between 150°F. and 200”F.) is available to keep hot cooked foods warm. Food kept in the oven longer than 2 hours at these low temperatures may spoil.
For best baking results, follow these suggestions: 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.
Baking Guides When using prepared baking mixes, follow package recipe or instructions for the best baking results. Cookies When baking cookies, flat cookie sheets (without sides) produce better-looking cookies. Cookies baked in a jelly roll pan (short sides all around) may have darker edges and pale or light browning may occur.

Roasting is cooking by dry heat. Tender meat or poultry can be roasted uncovered in your oven. Roasting temperatures, which should be low and steady, keep spattering to a minimum. 1. Place the shelf in A or B position. No preheating is necessary.
Questions and Answers Q. Is it necessary to check for doneness with a meat thermometer? A. Checking the finished internal temperature at the completion of cooking time is recommended. Temperatures are shown in Roasting Guide. For roasts over 8 Ibs., check with thermometer at half- hour intervals after half the time has passed.
3. Position the shelf on the recommended shelf position as suggested in Broiling Guide. Most broiling is done on C position, but if your range is connected to 208 volts, you may wish to use a higher position. 4. Leave the door open to the broil stop position.

OPERATING THE SELF-CLEANING OVEN After a Clean Cycle After a clean cycle, you may notice some white ash in the oven. Just wipe it up with a damp cloth. If white spots remain, remove them with a soap-filled steel wool pad. Be sure to rinse thoroughly with a vinegar and water mixture.
Proper care and cleaning are important so your range will give you efficient and satisfactory service. Follow these directions carefully in caring for it to help assure safe and proper maintenance. BE SURE ELECTRICAL POWER IS OFF BEFORE CLEANING ANY PART OF THE RANGE.
CARE AND CLEANING Lift-Up Cooktop Clean the area under the cooktop often. Built-up soil, especially grease, may catch fire. To make cleaning easier, the entire cooktop may be lifted up and supported in the up position. Be sure all surface units are turned off before raising the cooktop.
The light bulb is located on the rear wall of the oven. Before replacing the bulb, disconnect electrical power to the range at the main fuse or circuit breaker panel or unplug the range from the electrical outlet. Let the bulb cool completely before removing it.
CARE AND CLEANING Control Panel and Knobs It’s a good idea to wipe the control panel after each use of the oven. Clean with mild soap and water of vinegar and water, rinse with clean water and polish dry with a soft cloth. Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong liquid cleansers, plastic scouring pads or oven cleaners.
