USING YOUR RANGE DJUSTING THE OVEN TEMPERATURE CONTROL Although your new oven is properly adjusted to provide accurate temperatures, it may cook faster or slower than your old oven. If you are not satisfied with the baking/roasting results, you can change the offset temperature by following the steps below.
Page 19
ROILING NOTES: • Do not preheat when broiling unless your recipe recommends it. • Leave the door partly open whenever you use the oven to broil. This lets the oven stay at the proper temperatures. Place the rack where you need it. You need to place the rack so that the surface of the food is at least 3 inches away from the broil element.

Page 22
USING YOUR RANGE HE OVEN VENT Ceramic glass cooktop model (Model CES 3 66H) Hot air and moisture escape from the oven through a vent on the backguard below the control panel. The vent lets air circulate properly. Be careful not to block the vent, or you could get poor baking/ roasting results.

LEANING THE CERAMIC GLASS COOKTOP Your cooktop is designed for easy care. It has been prepolished at the factory for improved protection and easier cleaning. Foods spilled directly on the cooktop will not burn off as on open-coil elements. Because of this, you should keep the surface dust free and soil free before heating.
