Use the setting as a guide and adjust them as needed.
COIL ELEMENTS AND BURNER BOWLS (Coil Surface Elements Cook-top Models) • Surface units should be level for optimal cooking results. Drip bowls, when clean, reflect heat back to the cookware. They also help catch spills. • Cookware should have flat bottoms that make good contact with the entire surface unit. Check for flatness by rotating a ruler across the bottom. There should be no gaps between the utensil and the ruler. • Utensil sizes should match with surface unit size.
OVEN USE BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROL Oven Vent Location (Coil Surface Elements Cook-top Models) • The oven vent is located under the right rear surface unit. When the oven is on, warm air flows through the right rear element. This venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and good baking results. • DO NOT BLOCK OVEN VENT. Arranging Oven Racks • To avoid possible burns, place racks in the desire position before turning the oven on.
HOW TO OPERATE THE OVEN NOTE The oven indicator light will glow when there is electric power to the bake element. When the oven temperature setting is reached, the indicator light will go off. It lights up again when the power comes back on the bake element. The oven indicator light glows until the oven reaches your selected temperature, then goes OFF and ON with the oven element(s) during cooking.
