Baking in the left oven The left oven is best used as a warming oven, for heating smaller casseroles, or for baking many kinds of frozen convenience foods. Baking and broiling times may be longer than in the right oven. Large pans and bakeware can block air circulation needed for proper baking.
Using Your Range Continued Adjusting the oven temperature control Does either oven seem hotter or colder than your old oven? The temperature of your old oven may have shifted gradually without you noticing the change. Your new ovens are properly adjusted to provide accurate temperatures.

Using Your Range Continued The oven vents Hot air and moisture escape from the ovens through vents under the rear surface units. You can cook on the units, or keep food warm on them while the oven is on. Do not block the vents. Poor baking can result.

Reflector bowls reflect heat back to the utensils on the surface units. They also help catch spills. When they are kept clean, they reflect heat better and look new longer.
Caring For Your Range Continued Using the Self-Cleaning cycle The Self-Cleaning cycle uses very high heat to burn away soil. Before you start, make sure you understand exactly how to use the Self-Cleaning cycle safely. Before you start 1. Clean the areas shown by hand.
Personal Injury and Product Damage Hazard l Do not touch the oven during the Self- Cleaning cycle. It could burn you. l Do not use commercial oven cleaners in your oven. Cleaners may produce hazard- ous fumes or damage the porcelain finish. l Do not use foil or other liners in the oven.

Special tips l Keep the kitchen well ventilated during the Self- Cleaning cycle to help get rid of heat, odors and smoke. l Clean the oven before it gets heavily soiled.
Caring For Your Range Continued How it works During the Self-Cleaning cycle, the oven gets much hotter than it does for baking or broiling...approximately 875°F (468°C). This heat breaks up grease and soil and burns it off. This graph shows approximate temperatures and times during a Self-Cleaning cycle for 3 hours.
Using foil To catch sugar or starchy spills from pies and casseroles, use a piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil or a shallow pan on rack under the cooking container. Foil or pan should be slightly larger than the cooking container. Poor baking may result if air circulation is blocked by foil or pan.
Caring For Your Range Continued Hand cleaning Personal Injury Hazard Do not use oven cleaning products in a continuous-cleaning oven. Some can become trapped in the porcelain surface and aive off harmful fumes. WINDOW - Keep clean with warm soapy waler or spray glass cleaner.
