E lectric Oven Safety
Your safety and the safety of others are very important.
We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety messages.
This is the safety alert symbol.
This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.
All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word
“DANGER” or “WARNING.” These words mean:
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately follow instructions.
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow instructions.
All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, injury to persons, or damage when using the oven, follow basic precautions, including the following:
•Proper Installation – Be sure the oven is properly installed and grounded by a qualified technician.
•Never Use the Oven for Warming or Heating the Room.
•Do Not Leave Children Alone – Children should not be left alone or unattended in area where oven is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the oven.
•Wear Proper Apparel – Loose-fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while using the oven.
•User Servicing – Do not repair or replace any part of the oven unless specifically recommended in the manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.
•Storage in Oven – Flammable materials should not be stored in an oven.
•Do Not Use Water on Grease Fires – Smother fire or flame or use dry chemical or foam-type extinguisher.
•Use Only Dry Potholders – Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.
•Use Care When Opening Door – Let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing food.
•Do Not Heat Unopened Food Containers
– Build-up of pressure may cause container to burst and result in injury.
•Keep Oven Vent Ducts Unobstructed.

Electric Oven Safety
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
•Placement of Oven Racks – Always place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. If rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not let potholder contact hot heating element in oven.
•DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF OVEN – Heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in color. Interior surfaces of an oven become hot enough to cause burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other flammable materials contact heating elements or interior surfaces of oven until they have had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the oven may become hot enough to cause burns – among these surfaces are oven vent openings and surfaces near these openings, oven doors, and windows of oven doors.
•Do Not Clean Door Gasket – The door gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage, or move the gasket.
•Do Not Use Oven Cleaners – No commercial oven cleaner or oven liner protective coating of any kind should be used in or around any part of the oven.
•Clean Only Parts Listed in Manual.
•Before Self-Cleaning the Oven – Remove broiler pan and other utensils.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn of potential exposure to such substances.
WARNING: This product contains a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.
This appliance can cause low-level exposure to some of the substances listed, including benzene, formaldehyde, carbon monoxide, and toluene.

(Hold for 5 seconds)
You will know you are in Celsius when “F” disappears. To switch back to Fahrenheit, press and hold BROIL again for 5 seconds. (“F” will reappear.)
If you need to convert temperatures from Celsius to Fahrenheit or vice versa, you can refer to this chart:
Temperature replacement values
38°C to 100°F 60°C to 140°F 66°C to 150°F 77°C to 170°F 93°C to 200°F

Using Your Electric Convection Oven
Starting an operation
After programming a function, you must
press START to start the
START function. If you do not press START within 5 seconds of
programming, “START?” will show on the display as a reminder.
Canceling an operation
LOWER OVEN CANCEL will cancel any lower oven function. When you
press LOWER OVEN CANCEL, the large display will
not show anything, unless the oven is too hot after canceling a Self-Cleaning cycle.
NOTE: You may hear a fan blowing in the oven after you press LOWER OVEN CANCEL. This is the cooling fan. It will turn off when the oven has cooled down.
Changing audible signals
Audible signals tell you if a function is entered correctly or not. They also tell you when a cycle is completed.
To change pitch and loudness of key tone: PRESS
7

Setting your oven for the Sabbath
The Sabbath mode is an oven operation designed for the special needs of Orthodox Jews on the Sabbath or holy days. It is only available to provide a continuous untimed bake function or, if desired, a timed bake function. (See below)
NOTE: The Sabbath mode must be set before it can be activated and remains set until canceled.
To SET the Sabbath mode: 1. PRESS
BAKE
2.Press Number Pads to set the temperature you want.
Example for 325°F (163°C):
3 |
2 |
5 |
CONTROL
LOCK
3. PRESS
START
4.To go into the Sabbath mode, PRESS
6
(Hold for 5 seconds)
What your oven will/will not do while in the Sabbath mode:
•The oven will not shut off automatically.
•The temperature display of the lower oven will show “Sab.”
•To prevent accidental key pad presses, only the 0 to 9 and START keypads will work.
•No tones will sound.
•No error messages or temperature changes will be displayed.
•The ON indicator remains lit.
•Heating element icons flash before oven heating elements turn on or turn off.
•With the oven door closed, heating element icons light when the oven is heating and go off when the oven stops heating.
NOTE: If you open the oven door when the elements are off, the elements will not turn on. Elements will not turn on immediately after the door is closed. If you open the oven door when the elements are on, the elements will turn off after a delay. Again, elements will not turn on immediately after the door is closed.
To change the temperature during the Sabbath mode:
1.Press a Number Pad for the desired temperature. Each Number Pad is programmed for a specific set temperature:
NUMBER PAD |

Your lower oven has 2 racks and 5 rack positions. Rack position 5 is the highest position, or farthest from the bottom of the oven. Rack position 1 is the lowest position, or closest to the bottom of the oven.
NOTES:
•Before turning oven on, position oven rack(s) in desired location.
•Be sure the rack(s) is level.

•To use three racks during convection baking, place one rack in position 5 (the highest position), another rack in position 1 (the closest to the oven bottom), and the third rack in position 3. This allows all three racks to be an equal distance apart for better baking.
•Stagger cake pans or other cookware in opposite directions on each rack when three racks are used. This will make sure pans are not directly over each other.
