Usingthe oven.Toavoid possible bums, place the shelves in the desired position before you turn the oven on.

Ttie oven has 5 stielf positions.

Before you begin...

Tile shelves have stoic-locks, so that whenI)laced correctly on tile shelf sui)ports

(A through E), they will stop beflwecoming completely out, and will not tilt.

\,\lien placing and removing cookware,pull tile shelf out to tile bum l) on tile

shelf SUl)po_t.

Toremove a shelf, pull it toward you, tilt tile

ti'ont end up and pull it out.

TOreplace, l)lace the end of the shelf

(stopqocks) on the sui)port, tilt up thefront and push the shelf in.

NOTE: Theshelf is not designed to slide out at thespecial low shelf (R)position.

It also has a special low shelfposition (R)for extra large items,such as a large turkey.

Plastic items on the cooktop maymelt if left too close to the vent.

Vent appearance and location var_

Oven Vent

Y()tu" oven is vented through ducts at tile

rear of tile range. Do not block these ductswhen cooking in the oven--it is importantthat the flow of hot air fl'om tile ovenand fl'esh air to tile oven burner be

tminterrul)ted. Avoid touching tile ventopenings or nea_q_y stu_hces (lurh_g oven or

broiler operation--they may become hot.

Thetype ofmargarine will affect baking performanc!!Most recipes for baking have been developed using high fat products such as butter or margarine (80% fat). If youdecrease the fat, the recipe may not give the same results as with a higher fat product.

Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies, pastries, cookies or candies are made with low fat spreads. The lower the fatcontent of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become.

Federal st;mdards require products labeled "margarine" to contain at least 80% fi_t by weight. I,ow fi_t spreads, (m the

other hand, contain less tht and more water: The high moisture c(mtent (ff these spreads aft_'cts the texture and flavorof baked goods. For best results with umr old thvofite recipes, use mmgafine, butter or stick spreads c(mtaining at least
