GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
Do not use an adapter plug or an extension cord, or
remove grounding prong from the power cord. Failure
to follow this warning may cause serious injury, fire, or
death.
For personal safety, this appliance must be
properly grounded.
For models factory-equipped with a power cord:
For maximum safety, the power cord must be plugged
into an electrical outlet that is the correct voltage, is
correctly polarized, and properly grounded in accor-
dance with local codes.
Important Safety Notice - The California Safe
Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires
the governor of California to publish a list of
substances known to cause cancer, birth defects, or
other reproductive harms, and requires businesses
to warn customers of potential exposures to such
substances.
For ovens to be wired into a junction box:
It is the personal responsibility of the consumer to
have the appropriate outlet with the correct, properly
grounded wall receptacle (junction box) installed by a
qualified electrician. Follow carefully the installation
instructions packaged with this appliance for complete

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING OVEN
Never use your appliance for warming or heating
the room.
Use care when opening oven door, lower oven
door, or warmer drawer (some models). Stand to
the side of the oven when opening the door of a
hot oven. Let hot air or steam escape before you
remove or replace food in the oven.
Keep oven vent ducts clear. Touching surfaces in
this area when the oven is on may cause severe
burns. Do not place plastic or heat-sensitive items
on or near the oven vent. These items can melt or
ignite.
Always handle oven racks when the oven is cool.
Place oven racks in desired positions while the
oven is cool. if a rack must be moved while the
oven is hot, use extreme caution. Use potholders
and grasp the rack with both hands to reposition.
Do not let potholders contact the hot heating
elements in the oven. Remove all bakeware and
utensils before moving the rack.
Do not use a broiler pan without its insert. Broiler
pans and inserts allow dripping fat to drain away
from the high heat of the broiler. Do not cover the
broiler insert with aluminum foil; exposed fat and
grease could ignite.
Do not use aluminum foil or other protective liners
to line the oven bottom. Only use aluminum foil as
recommended in this manual. Improper installation
of these liners may result in risk of electric shock or
fire.
Do not cook food on the oven bottom. Always cook
in proper bakeware and always use the over racks
Read and follow all important instructions and
precautions for unpacking, installing, and servicing
your appliance.
Remove all tape and packaging before using the
oven. Destroy the carton and plastic bags after
unpacking the oven. Never allow children to play
with packaging material.
Proper Installation--Be sure your appliance is
properly installed and grounded by a qualified tech-
nician in accordance with the National Electrical
Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70 latest edition and local
electrical code requirements. In Canada, install in
accordance with CSA Standard C22.1, Canadian
Electrical code, Part 1, and local electrical code
requirements. Install only per installation instructions
provided in the literature package for this oven.
User Servicing--Do not repair or replace any part of
the appliance unless specifically recommended in
the manuals. All other servicing should be done only
by a qualified technician. This reduces the risk of
personal injury and damage to the oven.
Ask your dealer to recommend a qualified technician
and an authorized repair service. Know how to
disconnect the power to the oven at the circuit
breaker or fuse box in case of an emergency.
Never modify or alter the construction of an oven by
removing the leveling legs, panels, wire covers, anti-
tip brackets/screws, or any other part of the oven.
Remove the oven door from any unused oven if it is
to be stored or discarded.
Do not attempt to operate the oven during a power
failure. If the power fails, always turn off the oven. If

cleaner, oven liner, or protective coating of any
kind should be used in or around any part of the

Oven vent location
Type of oven racks
The oven vent is located under the control panel. When the
oven is on, warm air passes through this vent. This venting
is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and good
baking results. Steam or moisture may appear near the
oven vent, this is normal. Do not block oven vent.

well as the oven racks, will become very hot which can
cause burns.

Oven Rack Descriptions
Flat oven racks (or the flat handle oven rack) may be
used for most cooking needs and may be placed in
most oven rack positions.
The offset oven rack (some models) provides additional
stepdown positions from the standard flat rack design.
The offset design positions the base of the rack about
half of a rack position lower than the flat rack and may
be used in most oven rack positions.
Air circulation in the oven
Protective Liners -- Do not use aluminum foil to line the ii
oven bottom. Only use aluminum foil as recommended in
this manual. Improper installation of these liners may
result in risk of electric shock or fire.
Removing, replacing, and arranging flat or offset
oven racks
To arrange - Always arrange the oven racks when the oven
is cool (prior to operating the oven).
To remove - Pull the oven rack straight forward until it
reaches the stop position. Lift up front of oven rack slightly
and slide out.
To replace - Place the oven rack on the rack guides on both
sides of oven walls. Tilt the front of oven rack upward
slightly and slide the oven rack back into place. Be sure
oven racks are level before using.
For best air circulation when baking, allow a space of
2 inches (5 cm) around the bakeware for proper air circula-
tion. Be sure pans and bakeware do not touch each other,
the oven door, sides, or back of the oven cavity.
Hot air must be able to circulate around bakeware for heat
to reach the food evenly.
