Burn Prevention
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, potholders, or other flammable materials contact heating elements or interior surfaces of oven until they have had sufficient time to cool. Other surfaces of the appliance may become hot enough to cause burns. Among these surfaces are oven vent openings, surfaces near these openings and oven doors.
Exercise caution when opening the appliance. Standing to the side, open the door slowly and slightly to let hot air and/ or steam escape. Keep your face clear of the opening and make sure there are no children or pets near the unit. After the release of hot air and/or steam, proceed with your cooking. Keep doors shut unless necessary for cooking or cleaning purposes. Do not

cool. If a rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not let potholder contact the heating elements.
Always use 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.
Secure all loose garments, etc. before beginning. Tie long hair so that it does not hang loose, and do not wear loose fitting clothing or hanging garments, such as ties, scarves, jewelry, or dangling sleeves.
Child Safety
When children become old enough to use the appliance, it is the legal responsibility of the parents or legal guardians to ensure that they are instructed in safe operation of the appliance by qualified persons.
Do not allow anyone to climb, stand, lean, sit, or hang on any part of an appliance, especially a door, warming drawer
or storage drawer. This can damage the appliance, and the unit may tip over, potentially causing severe injury.
Do not allow children to use this appliance unless closely supervised by an adult. Children and pets should not be left alone or unattended in the area where the appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to play in its vicinity,

65 Warnings:
icals known to the State er, birth defects or other
The California Safe Drinking and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances. The burning of gas cooking fuel and the elimination of soil during Self Cleaning can generate small amounts of Carbon Monoxide. The fiberglass insulation in Self Clean ovens gives off very small amounts of formaldehyde during the first several cleaning cycles. California lists formaldehyde as a potential cause of cancer. Carbon Monoxide is a potential cause of reproductive toxicity. Exposure to these substances can be minimized by:
1.Providing good ventilation when cooking with gas.
2.Providing good ventilation during and immediately after Self Cleaning the oven.
3.Operating the unit according to the instructions in this manual.
English 3
9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
When Self Cleaning, confirm that the door locks and will not open. If the door does not lock, do not run Self Clean. Contact service.
Wipe out excessive spillage before Self Cleaning the oven.
Birds have very sensitive respiratory systems . Keep pet birds out of the kitchen or other rooms where kitchen fumes could reach them. During Self Clean, fumes are released that may be harmful to birds. Other kitchen fumes such as overheating margarines and cooking oils may also be harmful.
Keep oven free from grease build up.

The cooling fan runs during all cooking modes. The fan can be heard when it is running, and warm air may be felt as it is released from the oven vent. The fan may also run after the oven is off.
Oven Vent
The oven vent is located below the control panel. Warm air may be released from the vent before, during and after cooking. It is normal to see steam escaping from the vent, and condensation may collect in this area. This area may be warm when the oven is in use. Do not block the vent, since it is important for air circulation.

Oven Bottom
The oven bottom conceals the lower heating element. As a result the element is protected from damage and spills.
Note:
Do not place food directly on the oven bottom.

About the Appliance
Your new oven combines premium cooking results and simple operation.
The oven design has been optimized to improve heat distribution in the oven cavity. The result is even browning, shorter cooking times and lower energy consumption.
Thanks to the Self Clean mode, hours of scrubbing into the darkest corners of the oven is a thing of the past. The oven burns off soil simply and easily. All that is left to do is to remove a few ashes from the oven when Self Clean is done.
Clear labeling of the touch keys and knobs make operating the oven very easy. This manual includes all instructions for operating the oven.

General Tips
Pan Placement
Baking results are better if pans are placed in the center of the oven. If baking more than one pan on a rack, allow at least 1" to 1 ½" of air space around the pan. When baking four cake layers at the same time, stagger pans on two racks so that one pan is not directly above the other.

Preheating the Oven
•Place oven racks in desired position before heating the oven.
•Preheat the oven when using the Bake, Convection Bake, Convection Multi-Rack, Pizza, Broil, and Warm modes.
•Allow oven to preheat while preparing recipe ingredients or food items.
•Setting a higher temperature does not shorten preheat time.
•Once oven is preheated, place food in the oven as quickly as possible to minimize the loss of heat and reduction of oven temperature.
Preheat Reminders
Your oven has one of the fastest preheat times in the market using a concealed bake element. The lower element is hidden under the oven bottom. It is normal that the preheat time is different than your previous oven that had an exposed element on
•Cleaning the oven is cleaning around a coil of the oven. The hidden from food soils and spills easy.
•Preheating is not casseroles and frozen
•Preheat time will be to your house is less
•Increasing the oven preheat time. For example, is longer than the preheat
When broiling, preheat the oven 3-4 minutes. Do not preheat for more than 5 minutes.
For Best Results
•Use the cooking recommendations as a guide.
•Open the door as briefly as possible to avoid temperature reduction.
•Use the interior oven light to view the food through the oven window rather than opening the door frequently.
•Use the Timer to keep track of cooking times.
Baking Pans and Dishes
•Glass baking dishes absorb heat. Follow manufacturers' recommendations.
•Use pans that provide the desired browning. For tender, light, golden-brown crusts, use light, shiny, metal bakeware.
•Dark, rough or dull pans (nonstick or anodized) will absorb heat and result in a browner, crisper crust.
Some manufacturers recommend reducing the temperature 25 ºF when using this type of pan. Follow manufacturers' recommendations.
•Insulated cookie sheets or bakeware will increase the length of cooking time.
•Do not set any heavy object on the open oven door.
•Do not keep empty pans or pizza stones in the oven during cooking as this could change the cooking performance. Store the pans outside the oven.
High Altitude Baking
•When cooking at high altitudes, recipes and cooking times will vary.
•For accurate information, write the Extension Service, Colorado State University, Fort Collins, Colorado 80521. There may be a cost for the guides. Specify which high altitude food preparation guide you prefer: general information, cakes, cookies, breads, etc.

Bake
Bake is cooking with dry, heated air.
%Both the upper and lower elements cycle to maintain the oven temperature.
The Bake mode can be used to prepare a variety of food items, from pastries to casseroles. Refer to recipe or package directions for oven temperature and baking time.
Tips
•Preheat the oven if the recipe recommends it.
•Baking time will vary with the size, shape and finish of the bakeware. Dark metal pans or nonstick coatings will cook faster with darker results. Insulated bakeware will lengthen the cook time for most foods.
•For best results, bake food on a single rack with at least 1 to 1 1/2 “ space between pans or dishes and the oven walls.
•Eliminate heat loss from the oven by using the window to periodically check
opening the door.
•If multiple racks are racks. For cookies, use

2Heat heating difference the heat oven
The Convection Bake mode is well suited for cakes, bar cookies and breads to take advantage of the bottom heat, yielding a better crust on baked items.
The benefits of Convection Bake include:
•Slight decrease in cook time.
•Greater volume (yeast items rise higher).
Tips
•Place food in shallow, uncovered pans such as cookie sheet without sides.
•If baking more than one pan on a rack, allow at least 1” to 1 1/2” of air space around the pan. Stagger pans so that one is not directly above the other (see graphic below).
•For cakes use rack positions 2 and 5.

English 14
Pizza (some models)
In the Pizza mode, heat from the
2upper and lower elements is circulated throughout the oven by the convection fan.
Use the Pizza mode for fresh or frozen pizza.
Tips
•When baking a frozen pizza:
For a crispy crust, place pizza directly on the rack. For a softer crust, use a pizza pan.
•When proofing pizza dough, coat dough with olive oil and place it in a bowl tightly covered with plastic wrap to prevent crust formation.
•Sprinkle cornmeal on the pizza pan to prevent sticking.
•If using a pizza paddle, sprinkle the paddle liberally with corn meal for ease in transferring the dough to the pan.
•If par-baking handmade with a fork before baking
•If using a pizza pan, a more crisp crust and crust.

•The convection fan mode.
Roast
Roast uses both the upper and lower elements to maintain the oven
%temperature. Roasting uses more intense heat from the upper element than the lower element. This results in more browning of the exterior while the inside remains especially moist.
Roast is best suited for large cuts of meat and poultry.
Tips:
•Preheating the oven is not necessary.
•Use a high-sided pan, or cover dish with a lid or foil for less tender cuts of meat.
•Use a meat thermometer to determine the internal temperature of the meat.
•If the meat is browned to your liking, but is not yet done, a small strip of foil can be placed over the meat to prevent overbrowning.

Convection Roast (some models)
Convection Roast uses heat from
2the top and bottom elements as well as heat circulated by the convection fan.
The Convection Roast mode is well suited for preparing tender cuts of meat and poultry. It is also suitable for roasting vegetables.
The benefits of Convection Roast include:
•As much as 25% faster cooking than non-convection modes.
•Rich, golden browning.
Tips:
•Preheating the oven is not necessary.
•Use the same temperature as indicated in the recipe.
•Check doneness early, since roasting time may decrease. Refer to the Meat/Poultry cooking chart for examples.
•Do not cover meat or

Broil
(Broil uses intense heat radiated from the upper element.
The Broil mode is best suited for cooking thin, tender cuts of meat (1" or less), poultry and fish. It can also be used to brown breads and casseroles. Always broil with the door closed. The benefits of broiling include:
•Fast and efficient cooking.
•Cooking without the addition of fats or liquids.
Tips:
•Preheat oven 3–4 minutes. Do not preheat for more than 5 minutes.
English 16
•Steaks and chops should be at least ¾" thick.
•Brush fish and poultry with butter or oil to prevent sticking.
•Use a broil pan and grid (or a deep pan with a metal rack) designed to drain fats and oils away from the cooking surface to prevent smoking and spattering.
•Turn meats once during the recommended cook time (see Broil Chart for examples). Fish does not need to be turned.
•When top browning casseroles, use only metal or glass ceramic dishes such as CorningWare ®.
•Never use heat-proof glass (Pyrex ®); it cannot tolerate the high temperature.
•Broiling times are approximate and may vary slightly. Times are based on cooking with a preheated broil element.
