meats and poultry.

Reducing the cooking temperature for convection roast is not recommended. Carefully follow your recipe’s temperature and time recommendations, adjusting the cooking time if the recipe does not specify convection roasting time.

Since convection roast cooks faster, cook time may be reduced by 25% to 40% depending on food type. You can reduce cook times by 25% from the recommended time of your recipe, and check the food at this time. If needed, continue cooking until the desired doneness is obtained.

Use the meat probe included with your appliance. Meat probes are also available from most grocery and home goods stores.

Arrange oven racks so large cuts of meat and poultry are on the lowest rack of the oven.

Do not cover foods when dry roasting - covering will prevent the meat from browning properly.

When cooking meats, use the broiler pan and insert or a roasting rack. The broiler pan will catch grease spills and the insert helps prevent grease splatters.

BEFORE SETTING OVEN CONTROLS

IMPORTANT

Your Frigidaire wall oven has many features that allow you to customize the way your oven works.

Take time to read this section for important safety information and to become familiar with the many menu option settings starting on page

17.

Oven Vent Location

The oven is vented as shown below. When the oven is on, warm air is released through the vent. This venting is necessary for proper air circulation in the oven and good baking results. Do not block oven vent. Never close o the openings with aluminum foil or any other material. Steam or moisture may appear near the oven vent. This is normal.

CAUTION

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

Remove all oven racks before starting a self clean cycle. If oven racks are left inside the oven during a cleaning cycle, the slide ability of the oven racks may be damaged and all of the oven racks will lose their shiny ﬁ nish.

To prevent possible damage to the oven, do not attempt to close the oven door until all the oven racks are fully positioned back inside the oven cavity.

Convection Bake

Convection Bake uses a fan to circulate the oven’s heat uniformly around the oven. This improved heat distribution allows for even cooking and browning results. Heated air ﬂ ows around the food from all sides.

Convection bake may be set for any oven temperature between 170°F (77°C) and 550°F (288°C).

Beneﬁ ts of convection cooking include:

• Multiple rack baking. Convection baking tips:

• Use Convection Bake for best results when baking cookies and cakes on 2 racks.

• For best results it is recommended to preheat the oven before baking items like cookies, biscuits and breads and move pans to front of the racks.

• If your recipe is not written for convection baking, reduce the oven temperature by 25° or use Convection Convert option.

• No special pans or bakeware required.

• For cookies use the following racks:

• Single rack baking use 2 (ﬂ at rack).

• Two rack baking use 2 (ﬂ at) and 5 (glide).

• For baking cakes use the rack positions above and place bakeware as shown in Figure 3.

• Cookies and biscuits should be baked on pans with no sides or very low side to allow heated air to circulate around the food. Food items baked on pans with a dark ﬁ nish will cook faster.

• Leave oven lights o while baking.

Convection Convert

Air Sous Vide

Air Sous Vide is ideal for cooking meats to achieve tenderness without overcooking.

How Sous Vide Works

Sous vide is a French phrase meaning “under vacuum”. In sous vide cooking, food is vacuum-sealed in plastic pouches, which are then placed in a cooking medium of hot water or air.

Your appliance uses hot air circulating around sealed pouches to cook food slowly at relatively low temperatures: 100°F to 205°F (38°C to 94°C). Sous vide cooking is not fast, but with a little planning, it can be very easy.

Advantages of Sous Vide

• Food does not lose ﬂ avor or aroma due to evaporation.

• Vitamins and minerals do not escape during cooking.

• The low cooking temperature leaves meat and ﬁ sh more tender.

• Less spice is needed, as food keeps more of its natural ﬂ avor.

• The low cooking temperature greatly reduces the risk of overcooking. The food never gets hotter than the intended serving temperature.

• Timing is less critical. If di erent dishes are ﬁ nishing at di erent times, food that has reached serving temperature can wait, since it stays at serving temperature in the cooking medium.

Food Safety

Because sous vide cooks at relatively low temperatures, safe food handling is especially important.:

• Always keep raw food in safe conditions before you start cooking.

• Clean the raw food before you start cooking.

• Use Table 1, “Recommended Sous Vide Cook Settings,” to ﬁ nd the recommended cooking time and temperature for the food.

• Only use temperatures below 140°F (60°C) to cook foods that can be safely eaten raw.

• Food should be between 34°F and 37°F (normal refrigerator temperatures) when preparing to place food in sous vide vacuum pouch.

• Sous vide dishes are best served immediately after cooking. If food is not served immediately, use an ice bath to chill it quickly and then keep it refrigerated for up to 3 days.

• Do not use sous vide to reheat leftovers.

• Do not allow raw food to contact cooked food during preparation. Do not use the same tools on di erent food items without washing them.

• If the recipe includes raw eggs, keep the whites and yolks from touching the outsides of the shells.

• Blanching in boiling water or searing in a pan before sous vide cooking can destroy surface bacteria to improve food safety.

• Do not use Delay Start with the Sous Vide function.

• Do not use a meat probe with the Sous Vide function. Food needs to be sealed air-tight in a pouch for sous vide cooking.

SETTING OVEN CONTROLS

Vacuum Sealing

Sous vide cooking in your oven requires a vacuum sealer and vacuum pouches. The pouch needs to be sealed so no air or liquid can leak out. A pouch that leaks will produce poor cooking results and may produce smoke and residue that can burn during future cooking or when using self-clean. Follow the instructions that come with your sealer and pouches.

• Use pouches that are speciﬁ ed for your sealer and for sous vide cooking.

• Do not reuse vacuum pouches.

• Put food in one layer in the pouch for even cooking.

• It is recommended to use one food portion per vacuum pouch.

• For most sous vide cooking, use the highest vacuum setting for best cooking results.

• Make sure that the closure of the pouch is clean to get a good seal. If cooking at higher temperatures (above 160º F / 71º C), double-seal the pouch.

• Vacuum pouches are solely for sous vide cooking and should not be used for regular baking or broiling.

Sous Vide Cooking

1. Prepare

• Start with the freshest, highest quality food possible.

• Clean and cut the ingredients.

2. Package

• Place the ingredients in the plastic pouch for your vacuum sealer. Add seasonings for cooking.

• Note: If cooking multiple items at once, you may want to write the contents on the outside of the pouches before ﬁ lling and sealing them.

• Vacuum seal the pouch, removing as much air as possible. Verify that you have achieved an air-tight seal.

• If not cooking immediately, store the pouch in a refrigerator until ready to cook.

To cook Air Sous Vide:

1. Touch Oven Modes and scroll to Slow Cook, then choose Air Sous Vide from the sub-menu.

2. Touch Air Sous Vide: display shows 130°F (54°C) setting as default.

3. Set desired temperature.

4. Touch START.

IMPORTANT: Since sous vide cooking allows for a suggested minimum cooking time and a target time, it is recommended to set the timer to at least the minimum time or to any time up to the target suggested time. With sous vide cooking there is a maximum cooking time which allows the user more ﬂ exibility when cooking with no speciﬁ c end time.

Note: Use the sous vide feature of your oven to cook the food (section reference). Use the settings recommended for the type of food in Table 1, “Recommended Sous Vide Cook Settings,”.

5. Finish

• Open the plastic pouch and remove the food.

• You may ﬁ nish the food with a ﬁ nal searing or grilling to achieve a nice crust and roast ﬂ avor.

• Add ﬁ nal seasonings or sauces if needed.

• Serve.

CAUTION

Even though sous vide cooks at relatively low temperatures, use care when handling the pouch and its contents, which will be hot to the touch.

Only use temperatures below 140°F (60°C) for cooking foods that can be safely eaten raw.

IMPORTANT

The U.S. Department of Agriculture states, “Rare fresh beef is popular, but you should know that cooking it to only 140°F (60°C) means some food poisoning organisms may survive.” (Source: Safe Food Book, Your Kitchen Guide, USDA) The lowest temperature recommended by the USDA is 145°F (63°C) for medium rare fresh beef. For beef medium 160°F, well done 170°F (77°C). Visit the USDA Food Safety and Inspection website at www.fsis. usda.gov.

• Arrange oven racks so meat and poultry are on rack position 2. Large cuts of meat should go on the lowest rack position.

• Since convection roast cooks faster, may be able to reduce cook times as much as 25% from the recommended time of your recipe (check the food at this time). Then if needed, increase cook time until the desired doneness is obtained.

• Do not cover foods when dry roasting - covering will prevent the meat from browning properly.

• When cooking meats use the broiler pan and insert. The broiler pan will catch grease spills and the insert helps prevent grease splatters.

SETTING OVEN CONTROLS

Setting Broil

Use the broil function to cook foods that require direct exposure to radiant heat for optimum browning results. Broiling may produce smoke. If smoke is excessive, place food further away from the heating element.

The broil feature preset to 550°F. Broil may be set at any temperature between 400°F (205°C) and 550°F (288°C).

WARNING

CAUTION

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

To set broil with the default broil oven temperature of 550°F (288°C):

1. Arrange the oven racks when cool. For optimum browning results, preheat oven for 2 minutes before adding food.

2. Select Oven Mode and scroll to Broil.

3. Default 550° appears.

4. If lower broil temperature is needed use keypad to select between 400° and 550°.

5. Press START. Broil with oven door closed.

6. Broil on one side until food is browned; turn and broil other side until done to your satisfaction.

IMPORTANT

Broiler pans and inserts allow the grease to drain away from the high heat of the broiler. Do not use the pan without the insert. Do not cover the insert with foil – the exposed grease could ignite.

7. When ﬁ nished broiling, press ON/OFF.

SETTING OVEN CONTROLS

Important notes:

• Always arrange oven racks when the oven is cool.

• For best results when broiling, use a broil pan with broil pan insert designed to drain the fat from the food and help avoid spatter and reduce smoking.

• When broiling, always pull the oven rack out to the stop position before turning or removing food.

SETTING OVEN CONTROLS

Self Clean

A self cleaning oven cleans itself with high temperatures (well above normal cooking temperatures), which vaporizes soils or reduces them to a ﬁ ne powdered ash you can wipe away afterwards with a damp cloth. This function can be programmed for clean times between 2 and 4 hours.

Important: Before starting self clean read all following caution and important statements before starting a self clean cycle.

CAUTION

• Do not leave small children unattended near appliance. During self clean cycle, the outside of the oven can become very hot and cause burns if touched.

• Do not line the oven walls, racks, oven bottom, or any part of the range with aluminum foil. This will cause permanent damage to the oven interior and destroy heat distribution, and will melt to the oven interior.

• Do not force the oven door open. This will damage the automatic door locking system. Use caution when opening the oven door after the self clean cycle ends. The oven may still be very hot and cause burns. To avoid possible burns, stand to side of oven when opening door to allow steam or hot air to escape.

• The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to fumes given o during the self clean cycle of any range. Move birds to a well ventilated room.

• Remove any excessive spills. Any spills on the oven bottom should be wiped up and removed before starting a self clean cycle. To clean use hot, soapy water and a cloth. Large spills can cause heavy smoke or ﬁ re when subjected to high temperatures.

• Do not allow food spills with high sugar or acid content (such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices, or pie ﬁ llings) to remain on the surface as they may leave a dull spot even after cleaning.

• Do not clean the oven door gasket. The woven material in the gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage, or remove the oven door gasket. Doing so could cause damage to the door gasket and compromise the performance of the oven.

• The kitchen area should be well ventilated using an open window, ventilation fan, or exhaust hood during the ﬁ rst self clean cycle. This will help eliminate the normal odors.

Important notes:

• Completely remove all oven racks and any accessories from oven cavity to avoid damage to oven racks. If the oven racks are not removed they may discolor.

• Remove all items from the oven and cooktop including cookware, utensils, and any aluminum foil. Aluminum foil will not withstand high temperatures from a self clean cycle and will melt.

• Do not spray oven cleaners or oven protective coatings in or around any part of the oven interior. 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 (page 40). These areas heat su ciently to burn soil on. Clean using soap and water prior to starting Self Clean.

Figure 7: Clean around the oven door gasket

• Do not attempt to open the oven door when the OVEN LOCK indicator light is ﬂ ashing. Allow about 15 seconds for the motorized door latch mechanism to completely lock or unlock the oven door.

• When the clean time ﬁ nishes, the oven door will remain locked until the range has cooled sufﬁ ciently. In addition to the clean time that was programmed, you must allow about 1 additional hour for the oven to cool before you will be able to open the oven door.

SETTING OVEN CONTROLS

7. When the steam clean cycle is complete an alert will sound and the O message will show in the display. Press o to return to the clock.

Notes:

• Opening the oven door during the steam clean cycle prevents the water from reaching the temperature needed to clean.

• For best results, clean oven immediately after the cycle is complete. Steam clean works best for soils on the oven bottom.

• A non-abrasive scouring pad, stainless steel sponge, plastic scraper, or eraser style cleaning pad (without cleaner) can be used for di cult soils. Moisten pads with water before use.

• Place a paper towel or cloth in front of the oven to capture any water that may spill while wiping out.

• Do not leave the residual water in the oven for any length of time.

• Some condensation or water vapor may appear close to the oven vent and the oven door glass. This is normal. The oven gasket may become damp; do not wipe dry.

• Local water sources often contain minerals (hard water). If hard water deposits occur, wipe cavity with a 50/50 solution of water and vinegar or 50/50 solution of lemon juice and water.

• Steam clean cannot be programmed with a delayed start time.

• If Steam Clean results are not satisfactory, run a Self Clean. See “Self Clean” on page 40.

Setting the Sabbath Feature for the Jewish Sabbath and Holidays (some models)

For further assistance, guidelines for proper usage, and a complete list of models with the Sabbath feature, please visit the web at www.star-k. org.

This appliance provides special settings for use when observing the Jewish Sabbath/Holidays. Sabbath mode disables all audible tones or visual display changes on the oven control. Bake is the only cooking feature available while in the Sabbath mode. Most oven controls are locked during Sabbath mode.

To start Sabbath Mode, ﬁ rst select Sabbath from the settings menu. Next, select Delay (if desired), Bake temperature, and cook time (if desired) and set. Cooking will begin after any speciﬁ ed delay.

If cook time was set, once the time has elapsed, the cooking will end and the display will show Idle to indicate that the cook time has ended.

Important: The Sabbath mode will override the factory preset 12 hour energy saving mode, and the appliance will stay on until the cooking features are canceled. If cooking is canceled when the appliance is in the Sabbath mode, no audible or visual indicators will be available to verify the cancellation.

If the oven interior lights are needed, be sure to activate them prior to setting the Sabbath mode. Once the oven light is turned on and the Sabbath mode is active, the oven light will remain on until the Sabbath mode is turned o and the oven lights are turned o . The oven door will not activate the interior oven lights when the oven door is opened or closed.

WARNING

Food poisoning hazard. Do not let food sit for more than one hour before or after cooking. Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness. Foods that can easily spoil such as milk, eggs, ﬁ sh, meat or poultry, should be chilled in the refrigerator ﬁ rst. Even when chilled, they should not stand in the oven for more than 1 hour before cooking begins, and should be removed promptly when ﬁ nished cooking.

BEFORE USING MICROWAVE

About Your Microwave Oven

This Use and Care Manual is valuable: read it carefully and always save it for reference.

A good microwave cookbook is a valuable asset. Check it for microwave cooking principles, techniques, hints, and recipes.

NEVER use the microwave oven without the turntable and support, even if using non-microwave functions like Convection and Top Grill.

NEVER turn the turntable over so that a large dish could be placed in the microwave oven.

The turntable will turn both clockwise and counterclockwise. DO NOT try to turn the turntable by hand.

ALWAYS have food in the microwave oven when it is on to absorb the microwave energy.

When using the microwave oven at power levels below 100%, you may hear the magnetron cycling on and oﬀ . It is normal for the exterior of the microwave oven to be warm to the touch when cooking or reheating.

Condensation is a normal part of microwave cooking. Room humidity and the moisture in food will inﬂ uence the amount of moisture that condenses in the microwave oven. Generally, covered foods will not cause as much condensation as uncovered ones. Ventilation openings must not be blocked.

The microwave oven is for food preparation only. It should not be used to dry clothes or newspapers.

About Microwave Cooking

• Arrange food carefully. Place thickest areas towards outside of dish.

• Watch cooking time. Cook for the shortest amount of time indicated and add more as needed. Food severely overcooked can smoke or ignite.

• Cover foods while cooking. Check recipe or cookbook for suggestions: paper towels, wax paper, microwave plastic wrap or a lid. Covers prevent spattering and help foods to cook evenly.

• Stir foods from outside to center of dish once or twice during cooking, if possible.

• Turn foods over once during microwaving to speed cooking of such foods as chicken and hamburgers. Large items like roasts must be turned over at least once.

• Rearrange foods such as meatballs halfway through cooking both from top to bottom and from the center of the dish to the outside.

• Allowing food to stand in or out of the oven after cooking power stops can improve results. Standing time after defrosting or cooking allows the temperature to evenly spread throughout the food.

• Check for doneness. Look for signs indicating that cooking temperatures have been reached. Doneness signs include:

• Food steams throughout, not just at edge.

All microwave ovens are rated by using the IEC Test Procedure at 1200 watts. If using recipes or package directions, check food a minute or two before the minimum time setting elapses and add time accordingly.

Radio or TV Interference

Should there be any interference caused by the microwave oven to your radio or TV, check that the microwave oven is on a diﬀ erent electrical circuit, relocate the radio or TV as far away from the microwave oven as feasible or check position and signal of receiving antenna.

• Center bottom of dish is very hot to the touch.

• Poultry thigh joints move easily.

• Meat and poultry show no pinkness.

• Fish is opaque and ﬂ akes easily with a fork.

About Foods

BEFORE USING MICROWAVE

CAUTION

• Some products such as whole eggs and sealed containers—for example, closed jars—will explode and should not be heated in this microwave oven. Such use of the microwave oven could result in injury.

• Do not boil eggs in a microwave oven. Pressure will build up inside egg yolk and will cause it to burst, possibly resulting in injury.

• Spontaneous boiling—Under certain special circumstances, liquids may start to boil during or shortly after removal from the microwave oven. To prevent burns from splashing liquid, we recommend the following: before removing the container from the microwave oven, allow the container to stand in the microwave oven for 30 to 40 seconds after the microwave oven has shut oﬀ . Do not boil liquids in narrow-necked containers such as soft drink bottles, wine ﬂ asks, or especially narrow-necked coﬀ ee cups. Even if the container is opened, excessive steam can build up and cause it to burst or overﬂ ow.

• Do not pop popcorn in your microwave oven unless in a special microwave popcorn accessory or unless you use popcorn labeled for use in microwave ovens.

• Foods with unbroken outer “skin” -- such as potatoes, hot dogs, sausages, tomatoes, apples, chicken livers and other giblets, and egg yolks

-- should be pierced to allow steam to escape during cooking.

• Avoid heating baby food in glass jars, even with the lid oﬀ . Make sure all infant food is thoroughly cooked. Stir food to distribute the heat evenly. Be careful to prevent scalding when warming formula or breast milk. The container may feel cooler than the milk really is. Always test the milk before feeding the baby.

• Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160°F and poultry to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 165°F Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against food-borne illness.

• Do not defrost frozen beverages in narrow-necked bottles (especially carbonated beverages). Even if the container is opened, pressure can build up. This can cause the container to burst, possibly resulting in injury.

• Hot foods and steam can cause burns. Be careful when opening any containers of hot food, including popcorn bags, cooking pouches and boxes. To prevent possible injury, direct steam away from hands and face.

IMPORTANT

• Operating the microwave with no food inside for more than a minute or two may cause damage to the microwave oven and could start a ﬁ re. It increases the heat around the magnetron and can shorten the life of the microwave oven.

• Do not overcook potatoes. They could dehydrate and catch ﬁ re, causing damage to your microwave oven.

About Utensils and Coverings

It is not necessary to buy all new cookware. Many pieces already in your kitchen can be used successfully in your new microwave oven. Make sure the utensil does not touch the interior walls during cooking.

Use these utensils for safe microwave cooking and reheating:

• glass ceramic (Pyroceram®), such as Corningware®

• heat-resistant glass (Pyrex®)

• microwave-safe plastics

• paper plates

• microwave-safe pottery, stoneware and porcelain

• browning dish (Do not exceed recommended preheating time. Follow manufacturer’s directions.)

These items can be used for short-time reheating of foods that have little fat or sugar in them:

• wood, straw, wicker

BEFORE USING MICROWAVE

DO NOT USE

• metal pans and bakeware

• dishes with metallic trim

• non-heat-resistant glass

• non-microwave-safe plastics (margarine tubs)

• recycled paper products

• brown paper bags

• food storage bags

• metal twist-ties

• styrofoam

Should you wish to check if a dish is safe for microwaving, place the empty dish in the microwave oven and microwave on HIGH for 30 seconds. A dish which becomes very hot should not be used.

The following coverings are suitable for microwave use:

• Paper towels are good for covering foods for reheating and absorbing fat while cooking bacon.

• Wax paper can be used for cooking and reheating.

• Plastic wrap that is specially marked for microwave use can be used for cooking and reheating. DO NOT allow plastic wrap to touch food. Vent so steam can escape.

Included

The microwave comes with one rack and one rotating tray.

Additional Accessories

There are many microwave accessories available for purchase. Evaluate carefully before you purchase so that they meet your needs. A microwave-safe thermometer will assist you in determining correct doneness and assure you that foods have been cooked to safe temperatures.

The manufacturer is not responsible for any damage to the microwave oven when accessories are used.

• Lids that are microwave-safe are a good choice because heat is kept near the food to hasten cooking.

• Oven cooking bags are good for large meats or foods that need tenderizing. DO NOT use metal twist ties. Remember to slit bag so steam can escape.

BEFORE USING MICROWAVE

About Children and the Microwave

Children below the age of 7 should use the microwave oven with a supervising person very near to them. Between the ages of 7 and 12, the supervising person should be in the same room.

At no time should anyone be allowed to lean or swing on the microwave oven door.

Children should be taught all safety precautions: use pot holders, remove coverings carefully, pay special attention to packages that crisp food because they may be extra hot.

Don’t assume that because a child has mastered one cooking skill he/she can cook everything.

Children need to learn that the microwave oven is not a toy.

About Food Safety

Check foods to see that they are cooked to the United States Department of Agriculture’s recommended temperatures.

To test for doneness, insert a meat thermometer in a thick or dense area away from fat or bone. Never leave the thermometer in the food during cooking, unless it is approved for microwave oven use.

CAUTION

• ALWAYS use pot holders to prevent burns when handling utensils that are in contact with hot food. Enough heat from the food can transfer through utensils to cause skin burns.

• Avoid steam burns by directing steam away from the face and hands. Slowly lift the farthest edge of a dish’s covering and carefully open popcorn and oven cooking bags away from the face.

Note:

• Stay near the microwave oven while it’s in use and check cooking progress frequently so that there is no chance of overcooking food.

• NEVER use the cavity for storing cookbooks or other items.

• Select, store, and handle food carefully to preserve its high quality and minimize the spread of foodborne bacteria.

• Keep the waveguide cover clean. Food residue can cause arcing and/or ﬁ res.

• Use care when removing items from the microwave oven so the utensil, your clothes, or accessories do not touch the safety door latches.

Figure 11: Do not clean oven door gasket

CARE AND CLEANING

General Cleaning

Refer to the table at the beginning of this chapter for more information about cleaning speciﬁ c parts of the oven.

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 ﬁ lling) 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 eﬀ ort required for major cleaning later.

CAUTION

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

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.

Remove all racks and accessories from the oven before cleaning.

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

CARE AND CLEANING

Aluminum Foil, Aluminum Utensils, and Oven Liners

WARNING

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

• Protective liners—Do not use aluminum foil 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 eﬀ ectiveness 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 ﬁ re.

• 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 and air ﬂ ow needed to obtain the best possible cooking results for any oven.

Replacing the Oven Light

CAUTION

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.

NOTE

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

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.

Figure 13: Wall oven Halogen light

CARE AND CLEANING

Caring for Your Glide Racks

Caution: Handle oven racks only when they are cool. After cooking or after the fresh-clean cycle, racks will be very hot and can cause burns.

Important Notes:

• Remove all oven racks, including ladder racks, before starting a clean cycle.

• Do not use cooking oil, cooking spray, or other oil-based lubrication products on the glide rack extension tracks. Use only the graphite lubrication in this area. To order graphite lubrication, contact your installer, servicer or dealer.

• It is important that the parts of the rack that contact the oven sides always have a light coating of vegetable oil. Apply a thin layer of vegetable oil to the sides of the rack after every fresh-clean cycle and when the rack becomes di cult to reposition in the oven.

To lubricate the glide rack:

1. Remove the rack from the oven and place the rack on a large ﬂ at surface covered with newspaper or scrap cloth. Fully extend the rack.

2. Wipe away debris and crumbs from the glide track using a cloth or sponge.

4. Extend and return the glide rack several times along the tracks to distribute the lubrication.

5. Turn the rack upside down and apply graphite lubrication to the insides of the loading guides.

6. Extend and return the glide rack several times along the tracks to distribute the lubrication.

7. Apply a thin layer of cooking oil to the bottom of the “V” and the glide channels. Keeping the frame sides lightly lubricated allows the entire rack to slide easily when changing rack positions.

3. Shake graphite lubrication very well before applying. Apply to loading guides, and rotation pin. Repeat on both sides of the glide rack.

8. Replace rack in oven right-side up.

CARE AND CLEANING

Removing and Replacing the Oven Door

CAUTION

The door is heavy. For safe, temporary storage, lay the door ﬂ at with the inside of the door facing down.

IMPORTANT

Special door care instructions - For safe, temporary storage, lay the door ﬂ at with the

inside of the door facing down. Most oven doors contain glass that can break.

Do not hit the glass with pots, pans, or any other object. Scratching, hitting, jarring, or stressing the glass may weaken its structure, causing an increased risk of breakage at a later time. Do not close the oven door until all of the oven racks are fully in place.

To remove the oven door:

1. Open oven door completely, horizontal with ﬂ oor (Figure 14).
