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. Buildup of pressure may cause the container to burst and cause injury.

•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.

•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.

9 WARNING

9WARNING

Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual. NEVER use this appliance as a space heater to heat or warm the room. Doing so may result in carbon monoxide poisoning and overheating the appliance. Never use the appliance for storage.

•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, whether or not the appliance is in use.

9CAUTION

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.

NEVER cover any slots, holes or passages in the oven bottom or cover an entire rack with materials such as aluminum foil. Doing so blocks air flow through the oven and may cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Aluminum foil linings may also trap heat, causing a fire hazard.

9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

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.

9WARNING

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.

•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.

•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

•Do not place food directly on oven bottom.

•Follow the manufacturer's directions when using cooking or roasting bags.

•Do not clean parts or accessories in the Self Clean oven.

Cooling Fan

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.

English 5

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.

9CAUTION

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

Inserting Racks

9CAUTION

To avoid burns, place oven racks in desired positions before turning oven on. Always use oven mitts when the oven is warm. If a rack must be moved while the oven is hot, do not let oven mitts contact hot heating elements.

Use caution when removing an oven rack from the lowest rack position to avoid contact with the hot oven door.

To avoid possible injury or damage to the appliance, ensure flat rack is installed exactly per installation instructions and not backwards or upside down.

Flat Rack

The rack is designed with a stop so it will stop before coming completely out of the oven and not tilt.

To insert the flat rack into the oven:

Note: Avoid pushing the rack back forcefully, impacting the rear of the oven cavity. This may cause risk of damage to porcelain coating or to glass covers over light fixtures.

1.Grasp rack firmly on both sides.

2.Insert rack (see picture).

3.Tilt rack up (A) to allow the upwardly sloped rear of the rack to slide under the stop molded into the front portion of the rack guide above.

4.When the back of the rack is past this stop, lower the front of the rack to a horizontal position (B) and push it the rest of the way in.

The rack should be straight and flat, not crooked.

To remove the flat rack from the oven:

1.Grasp rack firmly on both sides and pull rack toward you.

2.When the stop is reached, tilt rack up so that the upwardly sloped back of the rack can pass under the stop. Pull the rack the rest of the way out.

Operation

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 buttons and knobs make operating the oven very easy. This manual includes all instructions for operating the oven.

Please call us if you ever have any questions. Our telephone number is located at the beginning of this manual. We welcome your comments and suggestions!

Getting the Most Out of Your Appliance

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 bottom to top.

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

The top rack guide is not used with the cooking racks. Use rack positions 1 through 6 only. The top guide is there only to bracket the rack and prevent it from tipping when inserted in position 6. Inserting a rack onto the top guide would not be stable, since there is no guide above it to prevent tipping. DO NOT attempt to use the top guide to support a rack.

Rack Position	Best For
6 (highest	hamburgers, steaks
usable position)
5	toasting bread, broiling most meats,
	melting cheese
4	thicker meats

3broiling poultry, most baked goods on a cookie sheet or baking pan using a single rack, includes frozen convenience foods, cakes, casseroles, frozen pizza

2small roasts or poultry, bundt cakes, pies, breads

1 (lowest	large roasts, turkey, angel food cake

•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 350° 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 Kitchen Timer to keep track of cooking times.

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.

English 13

Baking Pans and Dishes

•Glass baking dishes absorb heat. Reduce oven temperature 25° F when baking using glass dishes.

•Preheat the oven before adding glass baking dishes.

•Use pans that provide the desired browning. For tender, light, golden-brown crusts, use light, anodized, or 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 25º F 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.

Opening the Oven Door

•Open and close the appliance door only by holding the door handle. To avoid risk of burns, do not touch any other parts of the door.

•Avoid leaving the door open longer than is necessary and warn others to avoid unintentional contact with the open oven door.

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.

Cooking Modes

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

•When using the Bake mode, 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.

Auto Convection Conversion (some models)

Convection Bake and Convection Multi-Rack modes require a 25° F reduction in temperature. Auto Convection Conversion reduces the temperature you enter automatically. Simply enter the package or recipe temperature when setting the mode. The control calculates the correct temperature and it is shown in the display.

The Auto Convection Conversion feature can be turned on to allow for automatic temperature adjustments. See “Auto Convection Conversion” in the “Settings” section for details.

Convection Bake (some models)

Convection Bake is similar to Bake.

2heating elements. The main difference in convection baking is that

the heat is circulated throughout the oven by the convection fan.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.

•Higher volume (yeast items rise higher).

Tips

•Place food in shallow, uncovered pans such as a 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.

Convection Multi-Rack

(some models)

Convection Multi-Rack mode cooks

:the back wall of the oven. The heat is circulated throughout the oven by the convection fan.with heat from a third element behind

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.

Pizza (some models)

In the Pizza mode, heat from the

2circulated throughout the oven by the convection fan.upper and lower elements is

Use the Pizza mode for fresh or frozen pizza.

Tips

•There might be a slight decrease in baking time. Check before minimum package time.

•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 cornmeal 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.

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.

•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.

Convection Roast (some models)

Convection Roast uses heat from

2as heat circulated by the convection fan.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

(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.

English 16

Tips:

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

•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 (for Broil times, refer to the Meat/Poultry Cooking Chart). 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

7combines intense heat from the upper element with heat circulated by a convection fan.

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.

For Convection Broil times, refer to the Meat/ Poultry Cooking Chart.
