How to Remove Packaging Tape

To assure no damage is done to the finish of the

product, the safest way to remove packaging tape

adhesive on new appliances is an application of a

household liquid dishwashing detergent, mineral
oil or cooking oil. Apply with a soft cloth and allow
to soak. Wipe dry and then apply an appliance polish

to thoroughly clean and protect the surface.
NOTE: The plastic tape must be removed from the

chrome trim on the oven parts. It cannot be removed
if it is baked on.

Write down the model and

serial numbers.

You'll find them on a label on the from of the
oven behind the oven door.

These numbers are also on the Consumer Product
Ownership Registration Card that came with your

oven. Before sending in this card, please write these

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

the state to cause birth defects or other reproductive

harm, and requires businesses to warn customers

of potential exposure to such substances.

• The fiberglass insulation in self-cleaning
ovens gives off a very small amount of carbon

monoxide during the cleaning cycle. Exposure

can be minimized by venting with an open

window or using a ventilation fan or hood.

When using electrical appliances, basic safety

precautions should be followed, including the

following:

•Use this appliance only for its intended use
as described in this guide.

•Have the installer show you the location of the
circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy reference.

•Be sure your appliance is properly installed and
grounded by a qualified technician in accordance

with the provided Installation Instructions.

• Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of

your oven unless it is specifically recommended

in this guide. All other servicing should be

referred to a qualified technician.

•Before performing any service, DISCONNECT
THE OVEN POWER SUPPLY AT THE

HOUSEHOLD DISTRIBUTION PANEL BY

REMOVING THE FUSE OR SWITCHING OFF

THE CIRCUIT BREAKER.

MATERIALS, GASOLINE OR OTHER
FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND LIQUIDS 1N

THE VICINITY OF THIS OR ANY OTHER

APPLIANCE.

•Use only dry pot holders--Moistor damp pot holders on hot surfaces
may result in burns from steam. Do

not let pot holders touch hot heating elements.
Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth. Such
cloths can catch fire on a hot heating element.

•Always keep dish towels, dish cloths, pot
holders and other linens a safe distance from

your oven.

•Always keep wooden and plastic utensils

and canned food a safe distance away from

your oven.

•For your safety, never use your appliance for
warming or heating the room.

•Do not let cooking grease or other

flammable materials accumulate in
or near the oven.

•Be sure the oven is securely installed in a

cabinet that is firmly attached to the house

structure. Never allow anyone to climb, sit or
stand on the oven door.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

(continued)

•Do not touch the heating elements or the
interior surface of the oven• These surfaces may

be hot enough to bum even though they are dark
in color. During and after use, do not touch, or let
clothing or other flammable materials contact any
interior area of the oven; allow sufficient time for
cooling, first.

Potentially hot surfaces include the oven vent
openings and surfaces near the openings, crevices
around the oven door, the edges of the door
window and metal trim parts above the door.

Remember: The inside surface of the oven may

be hot when the door is opened.

• When cooking pork, follow the directions
exactly and always cook the meat to an internal
temperature of at least 170°E This assures that, in
the remote possibility that trichina may be present

in the meat, it will be killed and the meat will be
safe to eat.

Oven

•Stand away from the oven when opening the

oven door. Hot air or steam which escapes can
cause bums to hands, face and/or eyes.

oDo not heat unopened food containers•

Pressure could build up and the container

could burst, causing an injury.

° Keep the oven vent duct unobstructed.
° Keep the oven free from grease buildup•

oPlace the oven shelf in the desired position

while the oven is cool. If the shelves must be

handled when hot, do not let the pot holder

contact the heating elements in the oven.

° Never leave the oven door open when you are

not watching the oven.

• Pulling out the shelf to the shelf stop is a
convenience in lifting heavy foods• It is also
a precaution against burns from touching the

hotsurfaces of the door or the oven walls.

•Do not leave paper products, cooking

cycle is used.

• Clean only parts listed in this Use and
Care Guide.

.Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the broiler

pan and other cookware.

•Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottoms,
except as suggested in guide• Improper

USING YOUR OVEN

Before Using Your Oven

1. Look at the controls. Be sure you understand how to

set them properly. Read over the directions for the
Oven Controls so you understand how to use them.

2. Check the oven interior. Look at the shelves.
Take a practice run at removing and replacing them

properly, to give sure, sturdy support.

3. Read over the information and tips that follow.

4. Keep this guide handy so you can refer to it,

especially during the first weeks of using your

new oven.

NOTE:

• A fan may automatically turn on and off to cool
internal parts. This is normal, and the fan may

continue to run even after the oven is turned off,

• You may notice a "burning" or "oily" smell the first

few times you turn your oven on. This is normal in a
new oven and will disappear in a short time. To spee
the process, set a self-clean cycle for a minimum of:
hours. See the Self-Cleaning Oven section.

Oven Light

The light comes on when the oven door is opened or when the control panel
light switch is turned on.

Oven Vent

When the oven is on, heated air moves through a vent
above the door or between door and air grille.

The vent area could get hot during oven use.
The vent is needed for proper air flow in the oven and

good baking results. Do not block this vent.

8

en Shelves

The shelves are designed with stop-locks so when
placed correctly on the shelf supports, they will

stop before coming completely out of the oven, and

will not tilt when you are removing food from them

or placing food on them.

When placing cookware on a shelf, pull the shelf out
to the bump on the shelf support. Place the cookware
on the shelf, then slide the shelf back into the oven.

This will eliminate reaching into the hot oven.
To remove a shelf from the oven, pull it toward

you, tilt the front end upward and pull the shelf out.

Be sure the shelf is cool before touching it.
To replace, place the shelf on the shelf support with

the stop-locks (curved extension of shelf) facing up
and toward the rear of the oven. Tilt up the front and

push the shelf toward the back of the oven until it

goes past the bump on the shelf support. Then lower
the front of the shelf and push it all the way back.

Bump

\

Shelf Positions

The oven has six shelf supports identified in this

stration as A (bottom), B, C, D, E and F (top).

onelf positions for cooking are suggested in the
Baking, Roasting and Broiling sections.

NOTE: The highest position (above F) is only
a support. It is not intended to be used as a shelf

position in these models that do not have the
convection feature.
