Safety

Cleaning Safety

Turn off all controls and wait for appliance parts to cool before touching or cleaning. Clean with caution. Use care to avoid steam burns if a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot surface. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.

Clean only parts listed in this guide.

Self-Clean Oven

CAUTION

Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the oven racks, broiler pan, food and any other utensils. Wipe spillovers to prevent excessive smoke and flare-ups.

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.

Important Safety Notice and Warning

The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 (Proposition 65) requires the Governor of California 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.

Users of this appliance are hereby warned that when the oven is engaged in the self-clean cycle, there may be some low-level exposure to some of the listed substances, including carbon monoxide. Exposure to these substances can be minimized by properly venting the oven to the outdoors by opening the windows and/ or door in the room where the appliance is located during the self-clean cycle.

IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING PET BIRDS:

Never keep pet birds in the kitchen or in rooms where the fumes from the kitchen could reach. Birds have a very sensitive respiratory system. Fumes released during an oven self-cleaning cycle may be harmful or fatal to birds. Fumes released due to overheated cooking oil, fat, margarine and overheated non-stick cookware may be equally harmful.

Note: For microwave oven operation (select models) refer to the use and care guide packed in the microwave oven.

Oven Cooking

Adjusting the Oven Temperature

Oven temperatures are carefully tested for accuracy at the factory. It is normal to notice some baking or browning differences between a new oven and an old one. As ovens get older, the oven temperature can shift.

You may adjust the oven temperature if you think the oven is not baking or browning correctly. To decide how much to change the temperature, set the temperature 25 degrees higher or lower than your recipe recommends, then bake. The results of the first bake should give you an idea of how much to adjust the temperature.

To adjust the oven temperature:

1.Press the Bake pad.

2.Enter 550 by pressing the appropriate number pads.

3.Press and hold the Bake pad for several seconds or until 0 appears in the display.

If the oven temperature was previously adjusted, the change will be displayed. For example, if the oven temperature was reduced by 15 the display will show “-15 ”.

4.Press the Autoset pad to adjust the temperature.

Each time the Autoset pad is pressed, the temperature changes by 5 . The oven temperature can be increased or decreased by 5 to 35°

Pressing the Autoset 0 pad will first cycle through increasing the oven temperature (5, 10, . . . 35). Continuing to press the Autoset 0 pad will then cycle through decreasing the oven temperature (-35, -30, . . . -5).

5.The time of day will automatically reappear in the display.

You do not need to readjust the oven temperature if there is a power failure or interruption. Temperature adjustment applies to Bake, Convect Bake and Convect Roast (select models) only.

Changing Temp F/ C

1.The factory default setting for temperature is Fahrenheit.

2.To change the setting, press and hold the Cancel and Bake pads at the same time for three seconds.

3.A single beep will sound and the current setting will be displayed (°F or C). (If no change is made, the range will return to the existing setting after 30 seconds.)

4.To change the setting, press the Autoset pad. Press again to return to existing setting. Wait five seconds and the setting will be complete.

Favorite

The Favorite pad allows you to save the time and temperature from a Cook & Hold Bake, Convect Bake or Convect Roast (select models) cycle.

To set a Favorite cycle, a Cook & Hold function must be either active or just programmed.

To set a new Favorite cycle or to save a currently running Cook & Hold as a Favorite:

1.Program a Cook & Hold cycle as described in the Cook & Hold section on page 8.

Create-A-SpaceTM Half Rack

(select models)

Select wall oven models ar equipped with a convertible half rack. The left side of the rack can be removed

to accommodate a large roaster on the lower rack. The right side of the rack is still

available to hold a casserole dish.

Notes:

The removable section of the rack can be used as a roasting rack in the broiling pan. Do not use the top insert when using the rack in the broiling pan.

The removable section of the rack can be used as a cooling rack or trivet.

Make sure oven is cool before removing or reinstalling the half rack.

Do not use cookware that extends beyond edge of rack.

For best results, allow two inches between the pan placed on the rack and the oven side wall.

Use caution when removing items from the half rack to avoid burns.

Carefully remove items from the lower rack to avoid disturbing the half rack.

Care & Cleaning

Self-Clean Oven

CAUTION

It is normal for parts of the oven to become hot during a self-clean cycle.

To prevent damage to oven door, do not attempt to open the door when LOCK is displayed.

Avoid touching door, window or oven vent area during a clean cycle.

Do not use commercial oven cleaners on the oven finish or around any part of the oven. They will damage the finish or parts.

The self-clean cycle uses above-normal cooking temperatures to automatically clean the oven interior.

The oven should be cleaned regularly by wiping up spillovers to prevent excessive smoke and flare-ups. Do not allow a heavy build-up of soil to accumulate in the oven.

During the cleaning process, the kitchen should be well ventilated to get rid of normal odors associated with cleaning.

Before Self-Cleaning

1.Turn off the oven light before cleaning. The light may burn out during the clean cycle.

2.Remove broiler pan, all pans, and oven racks from the oven. The oven racks will discolor and may not slide easily after a self-clean cycle if they are not removed.

3.Clean oven frame, door frame (area outside of gasket, and around the opening in the door gasket) with a nonabrasive cleaner such as Bon Ami* or detergent and water. The selfcleaning process does not clean these areas. They should be cleaned to prevent soil from baking on during the clean cycle. (The gasket is the seal around the oven door and window).

4.To prevent damage, do not clean or rub the gasket around the

oven door. The gasket is designed to seal in heat during the clean cycle.

5. Wipe up excess grease or spillovers from the oven bottom. This prevents excessive smoking, flare-ups or flaming during the clean cycle. To make cleaning easier, the heating element can be lifted slightly (about 1 inch).

6.Wipe up sugary and acidic spillovers such as sweet potatoes, tomato, or milk-based sauces. Porcelain enamel is acidresistant, not acid-proof. The porcelain finish may discolor if acidic or sugary spills are not wiped up before a self-clean cycle.

To set Self-Clean:

Notes:

Oven temperature must be below 400 F to program a clean cycle.

In double wall oven models, only one oven can be cleaned at a time.

1.Close the oven door.

2. Press the Clean pad.

• CLEAN flashes.

• SET flashes in the display.

3.Press the Autoset pad.

MEd (Medium Soil, 3 hours) is displayed.

4.Press the Autoset pad to scroll through the self-cleaning settings.

HVy (Heavy Soil, 4 hours) MEd (Medium soil, 3 hours) LITE (Light Soil, 2 hours)

Choosing the soil level of the oven automatically programs the self-cleaning time.

5.After four seconds, the oven will start cleaning.

If the door is not closed, beeps will sound and ‘door’ will display. If the door is not closed within 30 seconds, the self-cleaning operation will be canceled and the display will return to the time of day.

CLEAN will appear in the display.

LOCK will flash in the display. Once the door locks, the icon will remain steady.

The cleaning time will start counting down in the display.

To Delay a Self-Clean Cycle:

1. Press the Delay or Delay 1 pad (select models)

• DELAY flashes.

• 00:00 will flash in the display.

2.Enter the amount of time you want to delay the cycle using the appropriate number pads.

3.Press the Clean pad.

SET flashes in the display.

4.Press the Autoset pad.

LITE (Light soil level) is displayed.

* Brand names for cleaning products are registered trademarks of the respective manufacturers.

15

Care & Cleaning

5. Press the Autoset pad to scroll through the self-cleaning settings.

HVy (Heavy Soil, 4 hours)

MEd (Medium Soil, 3 hours)

LITE (Light Soil, 2 hours)

Choosing the soil level of the oven automatically programs the self-cleaning time.

6.After four seconds, CLEAN and DELAY will light and LOCK will flash in the display. When the oven door latches, LOCK will stop flashing and light continuously to show that the oven is set for a delayed clean operation. The delay time will display.

After Self-Cleaning

About one hour after the end of the self-clean cycle, LOCK will turn off. The door can then be opened.

Some soil may leave a light gray, powdery ash. Remove it with a damp cloth. If soil remains after wiping, that means the clean cycle was not long enough. The soil will be removed during the next clean cycle.

If oven racks were left in the oven and do not slide smoothly after a clean cycle, wipe racks and rack supports with a small amount of vegetable oil to make them easier to move.

Fine lines may appear in the porcelain because it went through heating and cooling . This is normal and will not affect performance.

A white discoloration may appear after cleaning if acidic or sugary foods were not wiped up before the self-clean cycle. This discoloration is normal and will not affect performance.

During the Self-Clean Cycle

When LOCK shows in the display, the door cannot be opened. To prevent damage to the door, do not force the door open when LOCK is displayed.

Smoke and Smells

You may see some smoke and smell an odor the first few times the oven is cleaned. This is normal and will lessen in time.

Smoke may also occur if the oven is heavily soiled or if a broiler pan was left in the oven.

Sounds

As the oven heats, you may hear sounds of metal parts expanding and contracting. This is normal and will not damage the oven.

Notes:

If the oven door is left open, “door” will flash in the display and a signal will beep until the door is closed and the Clean pad is pressed again.

If more than five seconds elapse between pressing the Clean pad and the Autoset pad, the program will automatically return to the previous display.

A cooling fan will turn on during the self-clean cycle and will automatically turn off after the clean cycle when the oven has cooled. If it does not operate, contact an authorized servicer.

The oven door will be damaged if the oven door is forced to open when LOCK is still displayed.
