DO
Be safety conscious. The preparation of food in an oven or
on a range requires temperatures that could cause severe
burns. Before using this new appliance, carefully read and
follow the safety instructions below.
°
Destroy the carton and plastic bags after the oven is
unpacked. Children might use them for play. Cartons cov-
ered with rugs, bedspreads or plastic sheets can become
airtight chambers. Remove all staples from the carton.
Staples can cause severe cuts and destroy finishes if they
come in contact with other appliances or furniture.
2. Remove the door from any unused oven if it is to be
stored or discarded.

Have the oven installed and grounded in accordance with
local codes by a qualified technician to prevent any shock
hazard and assure stability during operation. Installation
instructions are included in the literature pack. Ask your
dealer to recommend a qualified technician and an authorized
repair service.
Know how to disconnect power to the oven at the circuit
breaker or fuse box in an emergency or when servicing is
required. Have the technician show you and label the
proper switch or fuse at the electrical disconnect box.
Wear proper apparel when operating the oven. Loose-
fitting or hanging garments should never be worn while
using the appliance.
Use dry potholders. Wet or damp potholders on hot surfaces
could result in burns from steam. Do not let the potholder
touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other
bulky cloth instead of a potholder.
Always place an oven rack in the desired location while
the oven is cool. See "Arranging Oven Racks" under
Oven Cooking. If a rack must be moved when the oven is
hot, use a dry potholder and grasp the rack in the center,
and do not let the potholder contact the hot heating ele-
ment in the oven.
8. When heating fat or grease, watch it closely. It may catch
fire if allowed to become too hot.
9. Stand to the side of the oven when opening the oven
door. Slowly open the door to allow hot air or steam to
escape before removing or replacing food.

WARNING: Do not allow children
to climb or play on or around the
appliance. If not properly installed,
the weight of a child on an open oven
door may cause the unit to pull out
of the wall, resulting in serious burns
or other injury.
10. Keep the oven vent unobstructed. It is located on the top of
the control panel trim. Touching the surfaces in this area
when the oven is being operated may cause severe burns.
11. Clean the oven regularly to keep all parts free of grease
which couM catch fire.
12. Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the broiler pan and
utensils, and clean only the parts of the oven listed in this
Owner's Guide.
13.
Cured or frozen meats and most fruits and vegetables can
be cooked automatically with the oven TIMED, but foods
of a highly perishable nature, such as milk, eggs, fish,
poultry or pork, should not be put in the oven before
cooking unless they are chilled in the refrigerator first and
do not stand more than one hour before cooking starts.
°
°
Never leave children alone or unattended in lhe area where
an appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to sit
or stand on any part of the appliance. As children grow,
teach them the proper, safe use of all appliances.
CAUTION: Do not store items of interest to children in
the cabinets above an oven--children climbing on the
oven to reach the items could be seriously injured.
3. Never use the oven to warm or heat the room.
.
DO NOT TOUCH HEATING ELEMENTS OR
INTERIOR SURFACES OF THE OVEN. Oven heating
elements may be hot even though they are dark in color.
Interior surfaces of an oven become hot enough to cause
burns. Other surfaces of the appliance may become hot
enough to cause burns--these include the oven vent
openings and surfaces near these openings, oven doors
and windows.
5. Do not let clothing or other flammable materials contact
heating elements or interior surfaces of the oven until they
have had sufficient time to cool.
6. Do not store flammable materials in or near the oven.
o
Do not use aluminum foil to line the oven bottom,
racks or broiler pan except as instructed & this Owner's
Guide. Improper use of aluminum foil may result in a
shock or fire hazard.
,
.
Do not heat unopened food containers. Build-up of
pressure may cause the container to burst and result in
injury.
Do not use water on grease fires. Smother the fire with a
pan lid, or use baking soda, a dry chemical or foam-type
extinguisher.
DONOT
10. Do not dean the door gasket. The door gasket is essential
for a good seal. Care shonld be taken not to rub, damage
or move the gasket.
11. Do not use oven cleaners. No commercial oven cleaner
or oven liner protective coating of any kind should be used
in or around any part of a self-clean oven.
12. Do not repair or replace any part of the appliance unless it
is specifically recommended in this Owner's Guide. To
prevent personal injury and damage to the oven, servicing
should be done oniy by a qualified technician.
13. Never modify or alter the construction of the oven such as
removal of panels, wire covers, or any other permanent
part of the product.
NOTE: The instructions appearing in this Owner's Guide
are not meant to cover every possible condition and situ-
ation that may occur. Common sense and caution must
be practiced when installing, operating and maintaining
any appliance.
SAVETHESEINSTRUCTIONS
ENERGY-SAVINGIDEAS
Turn the oven OFF immediately after use. Develop the habit
of turning the controls to OFF before removing foods from
the oven.
Allow food to thaw before cooking. Thawed food requires
less cooking energy than frozen food.
Before basting, adding vegetables or checking the internal
temperature of a roast, remove the food from the oven and
close the oven door. Prepare food as needed; then return to
the oven.
Preheat the oven only when recommended in a recipe. Put roasts
and casseroles into a cold oven and then turn the oven on.
Glance through the window in the oven door to check on
foods. Opening the oven door often to check on foods wastes
electricity.
Use the oven to prepare complete meals. For instance, start a
roast, add vegetables when the meat is half-cooked, and then
warm rolls or dessert after the main dishes are cooked.
Set the oven to self-clean after a baking or broiling operation.
The oven will already be hot and need less time to reach the
high cleaning temperature. See "Self-Cleaning Instructions".

be in the OVEN ON position in order to program the
oven. The switch should only be turned to the OVEN OFF
position when the oven will not be operated for an extended
period.
The oven can be programmed to:
Bake conventionally
Time bake with automatic on and off times
Broil
Self-clean
All functions are entered by first touching the appropriate
function pad, then turning the SET knob to select the time
and/or temperature.
If you touch the wrong pad, touch the CANCEL pad. This
will erase all information previously entered except the time of
day.
At the end of any cooking function, touch CANCEL to clear
the display.
For a silent control panel:
When choosing a function, a beep will be heard each time a
pad is touched. If desired, the controls can be programmed
for silent operation. Touch and hold the CANCEL pad. The
control will beep twice. This will block the controls from
sounding when a pad is touched. To return the sound, touch
and hold the CANCEL pad again until one beep is heard.
NOTE: This oven is equipped with a state of the art electronic
oven controller. Among its many features is a full time oven
circuit diagnostics system. The controller constantly monitors
its internal circuitry as well as several crucial oven circuits, to
insure they are all operating correctly. If at any time one of
these systems fail, the controller will immediately shut down
operation; beeping and flashing an error code of -FI- thru
-F10-, in the display window. If this condition should arise,
simply push the CANCEL pad and contact your local author-
ized service agent. 7
