Baking/roasting in the left oven
The left oven is best used as a warming
oven for heating smaller casseroles, or for
baking/roasting many kinds of frozen
convenience foods. Baking/roasting and
broiling times may be longer than in the right
oven. Large pans and bakeware can block
air circulation needed for proper baking/
roasting. The right (or primary) oven should
be used for family baking of cakes, cookies,
pies, etc.
1. Position the rack properly before turning
on the oven. To change rack position,
pull rack out to the stop, lift rack at front,
and pull out. For further information, see
“Positioning racks and pans” on page 9.
2. Set the Left Oven Temperature Control
Knob to the baking/roasting temperature
you want. The Left Oven Temperature
Control Indicator Light will come on. The
oven is preheated when the Left Oven
Temperature Control Indicator Light first
goes off.
NOTE: Do not preheat oven when roast-
ing or cooking items such as casseroles.
3. Put food in the oven. During baking/
roasting, the elements will turn on and off
to maintain the temperature setting. The
Left Oven Temperature Control Indicator
Light will turn on and off with the elements.
NOTE: The top element helps heat
during baking/roasting, but does not
turn red.
4. When baking/roasting is done, turn the
Left Oven Temperature Control Knob to
OFF. The Left Oven Temperature Control
Indicator Light will go off.
