Use the screws on the rotisserie rod to
adjust the distance between the forks.| Insert the smooth side of the rotisserie
rod into the rotisserie motor on the right side.| Hang the side with sink limit of the
rotisserie rod to the hook on the left
side.

Some ranges are equipped with an automatic rotisserie for roasting.
The rotisserie feature allows for an even cooking and all-over browning of the meat while preventing the meat from cooking in its rendered grease. The rotisserie will turn the meat allowing it to baste itself while roasting.
Be sure that you have received the rotisserie accessories included in your unit.
(1) Rotisserie Spit – Rod
(2) Rotisserie Forks
Always use the broiling pan when using the rotisserie to catch the rendered grease and allow for easy access to the meat when putting in and removing the rotisserie spit–rod.
To use the rotisserie, preheat the oven to the desired temperature. Secure the meat to be cooked onto a spit-rod using the rotisserie forks.
Insert the rotisserie spit-rod into the rotating assembly and select the desired rotisserie function (light on or light off).

Oven Baking Tips

  1. Never cover any slots, holes, or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire rack with materials such as aluminum foil. The aluminum foil lining may also trap heat, causing a fire hazard. Do not use aluminum foil on any porcelain surface. Doing so will damage the porcelain and affect its durability.
  2. Position the racks before preheating the oven.
  3. Reduce the oven temperature to 57.2˚F (14˚C)when cooking in heat-proof glass or glass ceramic dishes.

WARNING This range is designed for closed-door cooking only. Always cook with the door closed.
