9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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 leave open doors unattended.

Do not heat or warm unopened food containers. Build-up of pressure may cause the container to burst and cause injury.

Use caution when cooking foods with high alcohol content (e.g. rum, brandy, bourbon) in the oven. Alcohol evaporates at high temperatures. There is a risk of burning as the alcohol vapors may catch fire in the oven. Use only small quantities of alcohol in foods, and open the oven door carefully.

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,

whether or not the appliance is in use.

9 CAUTION

Items of interest to children should not be stored in an appliance, in cabinets above an appliance or on the backsplash. Children climbing on an appliance to reach items could be seriously injured.

Cleaning Safety

Do not clean the appliance while it is still hot. Some cleaners produce noxious fumes when applied to a hot surface. Wet cloths or sponges can cause burns from

steam.

9 WARNING

State of California Proposition 65 Warnings:

This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.

Always place oven racks in desired location while oven is 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

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE: 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.

Cookware Safety

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.

Rack Position

Rack positions are numbered from 1 to 6, from

The top rail is used as a guide for the top rack position (6). When inserting an oven rack use rack positions 1 through 6 only. Do not place a rack on the top rail.

Rack Position Best For

bottom to top. Consult the food

cooking charts at the back of this manual for recommended rack positions.

English 12

Aluminum Foil

Do not use aluminum foil or protective liners to line any part of the appliance, especially the oven bottom. Installing these liners may result in risk of electric shock or fire.

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 the bottom.

• Cleaning the oven is easier because there is no cleaning around a coil element showing on the bottom of the oven. The hidden lower element is protected from food soils and spills. Wiping up excess spills is easy.

• Preheating is not necessary for meats, poultry, casseroles and frozen foods.

• Preheat time will be longer when the electrical supply to your house is less than 240 volts.

• Increasing the oven temperature will require a longer preheat time. For example, the preheat time for 425° F is longer than the preheat time for 350³ F.

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.

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.

Condensation

• It is normal for a certain amount of moisture to evaporate from the food during any cooking process. The amount depends on the moisture content of the food. The moisture may condense on any surface cooler than the inside of the oven, such as the control panel.

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.

English 13

Bake

Bake is cooking with dry, heated air.

Both the upper and lower elements

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 food for doneness instead of opening the door.

• If multiple racks are necessary, use a maximum of 2 racks. For cookies, use rack positions 2 and 4.

cycle to maintain the oven temperature.

Convection Bake (some models)

Convection Bake is similar to Bake.

Heat comes from the upper and lower

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).

heating elements. The main difference in convection baking is that the heat is circulated throughout the oven by the convection fan.

Convection Multi-Rack

Multi-Rack mode cooks with heat

from a third element behind the back

The Convection Multi-rack mode is well suited for cooking individual serving-sized foods such as cookies and biscuits. It is also good for cooking on multiple racks (2 or 3) at the same time. Baking cookies is possible on 6 racks simultaneously. In this case, the baking time increases slightly.

The benefits of Multi-Rack include:

• Even browning.

• Time savings as a result of using multiple racks at one time.

Tips

• Reduce recipe temperature by 25° F if Auto Convection Conversion is not activated.

• Place food in low-sided, 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).

wall of the oven. The heat is circulated throughout the oven by the convection fan.

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.

Pizza (some models)

Roast

In the Pizza mode, heat from the upper and lower elements is

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 pizza dough, prick the dough with a fork before baking.

• If using a pizza pan, choose a dark, perforated pan for a more crisp crust and a non-perforated pan for a softer crust.

• Preheat baking stones following manufacturer’s recommendations while the oven is preheating.

• Bake homemade pizza on rack position 2 in the center of the rack.

• Follow manufacturer’s directions for frozen pizza.

• The convection fan cycles on and off when using pizza mode.

circulated throughout the oven by the convection fan.

Roast uses both the upper and lower elements to maintain the oven temperature. Roasting uses more

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.

• Let meat stand covered with foil 10–15 minutes after removing it from the oven.

• Roasting bags and using a lid are suitable for use in this mode.

• When roasting whole chicken or turkey, tuck wings behind back and loosely tie legs with kitchen string.

• Add liquids, such as water, juice, wine, bouillon or stock for flavor and moisture.

intense heat from the upper element than the lower element. This results in more browning of the exterior while the inside remains especially moist.

English 15

Convection Roast (some models)

Convection Roast uses heat from

the top and bottom elements as well

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 use cooking bags.

• Use a broil pan with a rack and grid or a shallow, uncovered pan for roasting.

• Use a meat thermometer to determine the internal termperature 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.

• Let meat stand covered with foil for 10 to 15 minutes after removing it from the oven.

• Refer to the Meat/Poultry Cooking Chart for recommended rack positions.

Broil

(

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:

Broil uses intense heat radiated from the upper element.

• 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.

Convection Broil (some models)

Convection Broil is similar to Broil. It

The Convection Broil mode is well suited for cooking thick, tender cuts of meat, poultry and fish. Convection Broil is not recommended for browning breads, casseroles and other foods. Always use convection broil with the door closed.

In addition to the benefits of standard broiling, convection broiling is faster.

Tips:

• Preheat oven 3–4 minutes. Do not preheat for more than 5 minutes.

• Steaks and chops should be at least 1 1/2" thick.

• Use a broil pan and grid (or a deep pan with a metal rack) for broiling.

• Do not cover the broil grid with foil. It is designed to drain fats and oils away from the cooking surface to prevent smoking and spattering.

• Turn meats once during the recommended cook time.

• Never use heat-proof glass (Pyrex ®); it cannot tolerate the high temperature used for broiling.
