IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

IMPORTANT

CAUTION

• Do not leave children alone - Children should not
be left alone or unattended in the area where
appliance is in use. They should never be
allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appli
ance, including the storage drawer, lower broiler
drawer, warmer drawer, or lower double oven.

• Stepping, leaning, or sitting on the door or
drawers of an oven can result in serious injuries
and also cause damage to the appliance. Do not
allow children to climb or play around the oven.
The weight of a child on an open oven door may
cause the oven to tip, resulting in serious burns
or other injury.

• Never cover any slots, holes, or passages in the
oven bottom or cover an entire oven rack with
aluminum foil or any other materials. Doing so
may trap heat, causing a fire hazard.

-

• Do not store items of interest to children in the
cabinets above the appliance. Children climbing
on the appliance to reach items could be
seriously injured.

• Do not heat unopened food containers. Build-up
of pressure may cause container to burst and
result in injury.

• When heating fat or grease, watch it closely.
Grease may catch fire if it becomes too hot.

• Do not use water or flour on grease fires.
Smother fire or flame or use dry chemical or
foam-type extinguisher . Cover the fire with a p an
lid or use baking soda.

• Use dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on
hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do
not let potholders touch hot cooking areas. Do
not use towels or other bulky cloths.

• Wear proper apparel - Loose-fitting or hanging
garments should never be worn while using the
appliance.

• Do not attempt to operate the oven during a
power failure. If the power fails, always turn off
the oven. If the oven is not turned off and the

BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROLS

Oven Vent Location

The oven vent is located above the control panel (See

Figure 1). 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. Do not block oven
vent. Steam or moisture may appear near the oven vent.
This is normal.

Figure 1: Oven vent location

Protective liners — Do not use aluminum foil or any other
materials to line the oven bottom, racks, or any other part
of the oven. Doing so will alter heat distribution, produce
poor baking results and may cause permanent damage to
the oven interior.

Only use aluminum foil as recommended in this manual.
Improper installation of these liners may result in risk of
electric shock or fire.

Always use pot holders or oven mitts when using the
oven. When cooking, the oven interior and exterior, as
well as the oven racks, will become very hot which can
cause burns.

Oven Racks

• Flat or flat handle oven racks may be used for most

cooking needs and may be placed in most oven rack
positions.

CARE AND CLEANING

CAUTION

WARNING

General Cleaning

Refer to the table at the beginning of this chapter for more
information about cleaning specific parts of the range.

Before manually cleaning any part of the range, be sure
all controls are turned off and the rang e is cool. The range
may be hot and can cause burns.

Remove all racks and accessories from the oven before
cleaning.

Ammonia must be rinsed before operating the oven.
Provide adequate ventilation.

Follow these cleaning precautions:

• Allow the oven to cool before cleaning.

• Wear rubber gloves when cleaning the appliance

manually.

Remove soils using hot, soapy water. Do not allow food
spills with a high sugar or acid content (such as milk,
tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on
the surface as they may cause a dull spot even after
cleaning. Remove spillovers and heavy soiling as soon as
possible. Regular cleaning will reduce the effort required for
major cleaning later.

Cleaning Porcelain Enamel Oven

The oven interior is porcelain on steel, it is safe to clean
using oven cleaners.

To remove heavy soil:

1. Allow a dish of ammonia to sit in the oven overnight or

for several hours with the oven door closed. Clean
softened dirt spots using hot, soapy water. Rinse well
with water and a clean cloth.

2. If soil remains, use a nonabrasive scouring pad or a
nonabrasive cleaner. If necessary, use an oven cleaner
following manufacturer's instructions. Do not mix
ammonia with other cleaners.

3. Clean any soil from the oven frame, the door liner
outside the oven door gasket and the small area at the
front center of the oven bottom. Clean with hot, soapy
water. Rinse well using clean water and a cloth.

Cleaning Exposed Bake Ovens

The oven bake and broil elements may appear to have
cooled after they have been turned of f. The elements may
still be hot and burns may occur if these elements are
touched before they have cooled sufficiently.

Figure 8: Exposed bake oven cavity

The bake element is located in the lower oven cavity
(

Figure 8). When the bake element is visible, it may be tilted

up to clean the oven bottom. Remove the bottom oven rack
before raising the element. Be careful not to raise the
element more than 4 or 5 inches from the resting posi
tion.This allows easier access to the oven bottom for
cleaning.

-

Boiler Pan Cleaning Tips

To prevent grease from baking on, remove the broiler pan
from the oven as soon as cooking is completed. Use oven
mitts because the broiler pan is extremely hot. Pour off
grease. Soak the pan in hot, soapy water.

Clean the broiler pan as soon as possible after each use. If
necessary , use soap-filled stee l wool pads. Heavy scouring
may scratch the grid.

CARE AND CLEANING

WARNING

CAUTION

NOTE

Aluminum Foil, Aluminum Utensils, and Oven
Liners

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

• Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil or any other
materials to line the oven bottom. The high heat of the
oven can melt these materials to the oven cavity and
ruin the oven. These types of materials can also reduce
the effectiveness of the air circulation in the oven and
produce poor baking results. Only use aluminum foil as
recommended in this manual. Improper installation of
these liners may result in risk of electric shock or fire.

• Aluminum utensils - The melting point of aluminum is
much lower than that of other metals. Care must be
taken when aluminum pots or pans are used.

• Oven racks - Do not use aluminum foil to cover the oven
racks. Using a liner in the oven restricts the heat a nd air
flow needed to obtain the best possible cooking result s
for any oven.

Replacing the Oven Light

Be sure the oven is unplugged and all parts are cool
before replacing the oven light.

The interior oven light is located at the rear of the oven
cavity and is covered by a glass shield. The glass shield
must be in place whenever the oven is in use (

To replace the oven interior light bulb:

1. Turn electrical power off at the main source or unplug

the appliance.

2. Remove interior oven light shield by turning a quarter
turn counter-clockwise.

3. Replace bulb with a new T-4 type Halogen 25 watt
appliance bulb.

Wear a cotton glove or use a paper towel when installing
a new bulb. Do not touch the new bulb with your fingers
when replacing. This will shorten the life of the bulb.

Figure 10).

Adhere to the following precautions when using spray
oven cleaners:

• Do not spray cleaner on the electrical controls or

switches because it could cause a short circuit and
result in sparking or fire.

• Do not spray any cleaner on the oven door trim or
gasket, handles or any exterior surfaces of the range,
plastic or painted surfaces. The cleaner can damage
these surfaces.

4. Replace glass oven light shield by rotating clockwise.

5. Turn power back on again at the main source (or plug

the appliance back in).

6. Be sure to reset the time of day on the clock

Removing and Replacing the Oven Door

Special door care instructions - The door is heavy. For
safe, temporary storage, lay the door flat with the inside
of the door facing down.

Most oven doors contain glass that can break. Do not
close the oven door until all the oven racks are positione d
correctly in the cavity. Do not hit the glass with bakeware
or any other objects. Scratching, hitting, jarring, or
stressing the glass may weaken its structure, causing an
increased risk of breakage at a later time.

To remove the oven door:

1. Open oven door completely, horizontal with floor

(

Figure 11).

2. Pull the door hinge locks on both left and right door
hinges down from the oven frame completely toward
