CAUTION
DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR INTERIOR SURFACES OF
OVENOven heating elements may be hot though they are normal in
color. Interior surfaces of an oven may become hot enough to cause
burns. During and after use, do not touch, or let clothing or other
flammable materials touch heating elements or interior surfaces of oven
until they have had enough time to cool. Other oven surfaces that may
become hot enough to cause burns are the oven door, oven cavity, and
oven vent.
In Case of Fire
Fires can occur as a result of over cooking or excessive
grease. Though a fire is unlikely, if one occurs, proceed as
follows:
Oven Fires
1. If you see smoke from your oven, do not open oven.
2. Turn oven off.
3. As an added precaution, turn off power at main circuit breaker or fuse box.
4. Turn on vent to remove smoke.
5. Allow food or grease to burn itself out in oven.
6. If smoke and fire persist, call fire department.
7. If there is any damage to components, call an authorized servicer before
using oven.
WARNING
To avoid personal injury, do not
sit, stand or lean on oven door.
WARNING
To avoid risk of electrical shock,
personal injury, or death, verify
your oven has been properly
grounded and always disconnect
it from main power supply before
servicing.
California Safe Drinking Water and
Toxic Enforcement Act
(Proposition 65)
The Governor of California is required
to publish a list of substances known
to the state of California to cause
cancer or reproductive harm and
requires businesses to warn
customers of potential exposures to
such substances.
Some appliances contain or produce
a chemical or chemicals which can
cause death or serious illness and
which are known to the State of
California to cause cancer, birth
defects, or other reproductive harm.
To reduce the risk from substances
during the self-clean cycle make sure
this appliance is installed, operated,
and maintained according to the
manufacturers instructions.

Fumes released due to overheated cooking oil, fat,
margarine and overheated nonstick cookware may be
equally harmful.

Child lockout
This safety feature is used to prevent children from accidentally programming
oven by disabling electronic oven control panel. Child lockout is also useful to
prevent accidental programming while cleaning the oven control panel. Press
and hold the COOK TIME and STOP TIME pads at the same time. OFF
displays briefly to indicate the control is locked. To reactivate control, press
and hold COOK TIME and STOP TIME pads at the same time for 4 seconds.
Child lockout must be reset after a power failure. The timer and clock
controls will not be locked with child lockout.
Service codes and tones
The electronic oven control is equipped with a self-diagnostic system.
The self-diagnostic system alerts you if there is an error or problem with the
unit. If electronic oven control sounds a series of short, rapid beeps for over
16 seconds and display shows an F-code, record the F-code shown. Some
F-codes can be cleared by pressing cancel or disconnecting power to the
oven for at least 3 minutes. If the code continues to reoccur disconnect
electrical supply to oven and contact an authorized servicer.
Oven temperature control adjustment
Your oven is calibrated at the factory for proper temperature. Due to
individual variances and preferences, it may be necessary to adjust ovens
once they have been installed.
Features
F3
When first using the oven, follow recipe times and temperatures. Before
adjusting oven baking temperature, test a recipe, such as ready-to-bake
biscuits, by setting oven temperature higher or lower than the suggested
temperature. The baking results should help you to decide how much of a
temperature adjustment is required.
An accurate digital thermometer is necessary to calibrate the oven. Store
purchased oven thermometers may not accurately measure oven
temperature. Oven temperature can be increased or decreased by 35°F. To
avoid over adjusting the oven, only adjust the temperature by 5°F each time.
NOTE: DO NOT place aluminum foil on racks and oven bottom as
this will alter oven performance. Check for blocked heat vents.
If it still appears the oven is not performing as expected,
a calibration may be done.
1. Press BAKE pad.
2. Using the digit pads, enter 500.
3. Press and hold BAKE pad for approximately 3 seconds.
4. A double digit offset temperature will display. Factory default is normally
00 degrees.
Press the appropriate number pads to select the desired temperature
change.
When temperature is adjusted to a cooler setting, a minus sign (-) will
display with the offset temperature.
Press BROIL pad to change the (-) sign to a positive number.
When temperature is adjusted to a cooler setting, a minus sign (-) will
display with the offset temperature.
5. To set the temperature change, press CANCEL pad. To cancel the
change, change the offset back to the original setting.
Offset temperature change will be retained through a power failure.

Oven Cooking Methods
Oven Cooking Methods
This oven provides conventional Baking, Broiling, and EvenAir Convection
Cooking. During EvenAir Convection Cooking, the oven fan in the rear of the
oven cavity circulates air while the oven cooks. The circulating air provides even
browning and faster baking times.
Bake
Bake (lower) and broil (upper) elements operate during bake. Broil
element is only used to heat oven quickly and brown top of food
this element will cycle on and off during the baking period. Broil
element will not glow red during a bake cycle. Bake can be used to
cook foods which are normally baked. Oven should be preheated.
%DNH
%URLO
Broil
Broil (upper) element operates during broil. Broil can be used to cook foods
which are normally broiled. All foods should be turned at least once except
fish, which does not need to be turned.
EvenAir Convection
Convection fan operates during convection, using bake and broil elements
to heat oven. Convection should be used for cooking pastries, souffles,
yeast bread, cakes and cookies. Oven should be preheated for best results
when using convection. Upper and lower elements operate during preheat.
Pans do not need to be staggered. EvenAir Convection cannot be used
during a broil function.

Aluminum Foil
WARNI NG
To avoid risk of personal injury,
property damage or fire, do not
line oven bottom, racks, or broiler
pan and grid with aluminum foil.
When placed on the oven bottom or
racks, aluminum foil not only creates a
hazard, but also affects cooking
performance. To minimize spills in the
oven, place a shallow pan or cookie sheet
on rack underneath food items that drip
or spill. The pan must not touch the oven
walls, front, or back. DO NOT use
aluminum foil, even if it is trimmed to
size, as a substitute for a drip pan.
Broiling Hints
Remove excess fat from meat
before broiling. Cut edges of
meat to prevent curling.
Place food on a cold ungreased
broiling pan. If pan is hot, food
sticks.
All food except fish should be
turned at least one time. Begin
broiling with skin side down.
Season meat after it has
browned.
For darker browning, preheat
broil until element is bright red.
Begin cooking using suggested
rack levels in Broiling section to
test broiler results. If food is not
brown enough, cook on a higher
rack position. If food is too brown,
cook on a lower rack position.
Oven door must be open to first
broil-stop position.
