9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS IN THE EVENT OF A GREASE FIRE, OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING:

a.SMOTHER FLAMES with a close-fitting lid, cookie sheet, or metal tray, then turn off the burner. BE CAREFUL TO PREVENT BURNS. If the flames do not go out immediately, EVACUATE AND CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

b.NEVER PICK UP A FLAMING PAN – You may be burned.

c.DO NOT USE WATER, including wet dishcloths or towels – a violent steam explosion will result.

d.Use an extinguisher ONLY if:

-You know you have a Class ABC extinguisher, and you already know how to operate it.

-The fire is small and contained in the area where it started.

-The fire department is being called.

-You can fight the fire with your back to an exit.

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 (or drawer) 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.

Always place oven racks in desired location while oven is cool. Always use oven mitts, when the oven is warm. If a rack must be moved while oven is hot, do not let potholder contact the heating elements.

CAUTION

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

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 responsibility of the parents or legal guardians to ensure that they are instructed in safe practices 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.

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

Keep oven free from grease build up.

WARNING
RISK OF BURNS

; The appliance will become very hot on the outside during the cleaning function. Never touch the appliance door. Allow the appliance to cool down. Keep children away from the appliance.

Cookware Safety
NOTICE: Do not place food directly on oven bottom.

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

9 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Proposition 65 Warning:

This product may contain a chemical known to the State of California, which can cause cancer or reproductive harm. Therefore, the packaging of your product may bear the following label as required by California:

67$7( 2) &$/,)251,$ 352326,7,21 :$51,1*

:$51,1*

&DQFHU DQG 5HSURGXFWLYH +DUP ZZZ3 :DUQLQJV FD JRY

Note: IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE: The California Safe Drinking and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of substance known to the state to cause cancer, birth defect 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.

Do not line the bottom of the oven interior with any type of foil or baking paper. Do not place cookware on the bottom of the oven interior when a temperature above 122°F (50 °C) is set. This produces a build-up of heat. Baking and roasting times are no longer correct and the enamel is damaged.

Water in the hot oven interior: Never pour water into the hot oven interior. Steam is produced. Damage to the enamel can arise due to the temperature change.

Do not leave moist groceries in a closed oven for an extended period of time. It can lead to corrosion inside the oven.

Fruit juice can leave stains in the oven. Always remove fruit juice immediately when safe to touch, and wipe up first with a damp and then a dry cloth.

Cooling with the appliance door open: only allow the oven cavity to cool when it is closed. Even if the appliance door is only open a little, front panels of adjacent units could be damaged over time.

Highly soiled door seal: the appliance door will no longer close properly during operation if the door seal is highly soiled. Adjoining furniture fronts may be damaged. Always keep the door seal clean.

Appliance door as a seat or storage surface: do not stand, sit or hang on the appliance door. Do not place any cookware or accessories on the appliance door.

Inserting accessories: depending on the appliance type, accessories can scratch the door pane when closing the appliance door. Always slide accessories fully into the oven interior.

Do not hold or carry the appliance by the door handle. The door handle cannot carry the weight of the device and could break off.

Operation-Oven
About the Oven

Your new oven combines premium cooking results and simple operation with the ability to connect and control your appliance with the Home Connect™ app.

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 cooled oven when Self Clean is done.

Clear labeling of the touch pads makes 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.

Before Using the Appliance for the First Time

Remove all packaging materials and labels from inside each appliance.

Appliance must be properly installed by an authorized servicer before use.

Oven Temperature Offset

The oven is calibrated to provide accurate results. This feature is useful if you prefer your foods lighter or darker. When an offset temperature is selected, the actual oven temperature is raised or lowered by this value.

Do not use residential oven thermometers to evaluate oven temperatures as they will fluctuate throughout cooking.

The oven must be turned off in order to set an offset value. Refer to Temperature Offset in Settings Menu Options for setting.

Note: This process can be repeated until a satisfactory result is achieved. Each time these steps are repeated, the oven temperature sets to zero. In other words, if the offset was changed by 5° the first time, the second time it will need to be offset by 10°. The oven will not add to the original offset.

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 1/2’’ 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 rail at the top of the oven is used as the guide for the top rack (position 6). Use rack positions 1 through

6 only. DO NOT attempt to use the top guide to support an oven rack.

Aluminum Foil
9WARNING

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, Convection Broil and Warm modes.

Preheat is not used for Roast, Convection Roast and Proof 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.

Use Fast Preheat to speed up preheating.

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.

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 some 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.

22

For Best Results

Use the cooking recommendation charts as a guide. See charts at the end of the book.

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. Some cookware manufacturers recommend reducing the temperature 25°F when using this type of dish. Follow manufacturers’ recommendations.

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 25°F when using this type of pan. Follow manufacturers’ recommendations.

Insulated cookie sheets or bakeware may increase the length of cooking time.

Do not set broil pans or any other heavy object on the open oven door.

Do not keep empty pans or pizza stones in the oven during cooking as this changes cooking performance. Store 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.

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 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.

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 1-1^” space between pans or dishes and 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

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.
