IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

WARNING!

For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.

All ranges can tip and injury could result.

To prevent accidental tipping of the range, attach it to the wall and floor by installing the Anti-Tip device supplied.

If the Anti-Tip device supplied with the range does not fit this application, use the universal Anti-Tip device WB2X7909.

To check if the device is installed and engaged properly, remove the storage drawer and inspect the rear leveling leg. Make sure it fits securely into the slot.

If you pull the range out from the wall for any reason, make sure the device is properly engaged when you push the range back against the wall. If it is not, there is a possible risk of the range tipping over and causing injury if you or a child stand, sit or lean on an open door.

Please refer to the Anti-Tip device information in this manual. Failure to take this precaution could result in tipping of the range and injury.

WARNING ANTI-TIP DEVICE

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 cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.

The fiberglass insulation in self-clean 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

purpose as described in this Owner’s Manual.

■ Be sure your appliance is properly installed and

grounded by a qualified installer in accordance with the provided installation instructions.

■ Have the installer show you the location of

the circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy reference.

■ Do not attempt to repair or replace any

part of your range unless it is specifically recommended in this manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.

■ Before performing any service, disconnect

the range power supply at the household distribution panel by removing the fuse or switching off the circuit breaker.

■ Do not leave children alone—children should

not be left alone or unattended in an area where an appliance is in use. They should never be allowed to sit or stand on any part of the appliance.

■ Do not allow anyone to climb, stand or hang

on the door, storage drawer or cooktop. They could damage the range and even tip it over, causing severe personal injury.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Consumer Support Troubleshooting Tips Care and Cleaning Operating Instructions Safety Instructions

www.GEAppliances.com

■ Do not store flammable materials in an oven

or near the cooktop.

■ CAUTION: Items of interest to children

should not be stored in cabinets above a range or on the back of a range—children climbing on the range to reach items could be seriously injured.

■ Never wear loose-fitting or hanging garments

while using the appliance. Be careful when reaching for items stored over the range. Flammable material could be ignited if brought in contact with hot surface units or heating elements and may cause severe burns.

■ Use only dry pot holders—moist or damp

pot holders on hot surfaces may result in burns from steam. Do not let pot holders touch hot surface units or heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth in place of pot holders.

■ Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick

up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off. Smother a flaming pan on a surface unit by covering the pan completely with a well-fitting lid, cookie sheet or flat tray. Use a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

■ Flaming grease outside a pan can be put

out by covering it with baking soda or, if available, by using a multi-purpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

■ Flame in the oven can be smothered

completely by closing the oven door and turning the oven off or by using a multipurpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

■ 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 range.

■ Do not touch the surface units, the heating

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

■ Potentially hot surfaces include the cooktop,

areas facing the cooktop, oven vent opening, surfaces near the opening, crevices around the oven door.

■ REMEMBER: The inside surface of the oven

may be hot when the door is opened.

■ Do not store or use combustible materials,

gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

■ Keep the hood and grease filters clean

to maintain good venting and to avoid grease fires.

■ Teach children not to play with the controls

or any other part of the range.

■ Always keep dish towels, dish cloths, pot

holders and other linens a safe distance from your range.

■ Always keep wooden and plastic utensils and

canned food a safe distance from your range.

■ Always keep combustible wall coverings,

curtains or drapes a safe distance from your range.

WARNING!

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Cook meat and poultry thoroughly—meat to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 160°F and poultry to at least an INTERNAL temperature of 180°F. Cooking to these temperatures usually protects against foodborne illness.

COOK MEAT AND POULTRY THOROUGHLY…

Do not operate the oven or cooktop controls if the glass is broken. Food splatter or cleaning solution may penetrate a broken control panel or cooktop and create a risk of electrical shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately should your glass control panel or cooktop become broken.

Safety Instructions Operating InstructionsSafety Instructions Operating Instructions Care and Cleaning Troubleshooting Tips Consumer Support

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

Use proper pan size—select cookware having flat bottoms large enough to cover the surface unit heating element. The use of undersized cookware will expose a portion of the surface unit to direct contact and may result in ignition of clothing. Proper relationship of cookware to surface unit will also improve efficiency.

■ Never leave the surface units unattended at

high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy spillovers that may catch on fire.

■ Only certain types of glass, glass ⁄ceramic,

earthenware or other glazed containers are suitable for cooktop service; others may break because of the sudden change in temperature.

■ To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition

of flammable materials and spillage, the handle of a container should be turned toward the center of the range without extending over nearby surface units.

■ Always turn the surface units off before

removing cookware.

■ When preparing flaming foods under the

hood, turn the fan on.

■ Use care when touching the cooktop.

The glass surface of the cooktop will retain heat after the controls have been turned off.

■ Keep an eye on foods being fried at high or

medium high heat settings.

■ Foods for frying should be as dry as possible.

Frost on frozen foods or moisture on fresh foods can cause hot fat to bubble up and over the sides of the pan.

■ Use little fat for effective shallow or deep

fat frying. Filling the pan too full of fat can cause spillovers when food is added.

■ If a combination of oils or fats will be used

in frying, stir together before heating, or as fats melt slowly.

■ Always heat fat slowly, and watch as it heats.

■ Use a deep fat thermometer whenever

possible to prevent overheating fat beyond the smoking point.

■ Avoid scratching the glass cooktop. The

cooktop can be scratched with items such as sharp instruments, rings or other jewelry, and rivets on clothing.

■ Large scratches or impacts to glass doors or

cooktops can lead to broken or shattered glass.

■ Do not operate the radiant surface units if the

glass is broken. Spillovers or cleaning solution may penetrate a broken cooktop and create a risk of electrical shock. Contact a qualified technician immediately should your glass cooktop become broken.

■ Never use the glass cooktop surface as a

cutting board.

■ Do not place or store items that can melt or

catch fire on the glass cooktop, even when it is not being used.

■ Be careful when placing spoons or other stirring

utensils on glass cooktop surface when it is in use. They may become hot and could cause burns.

■ Clean the cooktop with caution. If a wet

sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on a hot surface unit, be careful to avoid steam burns. Some cleaners can produce noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.

NOTE: We recommend that you avoid wiping any surface unit areas until they have cooled and the indicator light has gone off. Sugar spills are the exception to this. Please see the Cleaning the glass cooktop section.

■ When the cooktop is cool, use only the

CERAMA BRYTE®Ceramic Cooktop Cleaner and the CERAMA BRYTE Ceramic Cooktop Cleaning Pad to clean the cooktop.

■ To avoid possible damage to the cooking

surface, do not apply cleaning cream to the glass surface when it is hot.

■ After cleaning, use a dry cloth or paper towel

to remove all cleaning cream residue.

■ Read and follow all instructions and warnings

on the cleaning cream labels.

■ Do not use plastic wrap to cover food. Plastic

may melt onto the surface and be very difficult to remove.

■ Do not heat unopened food containers.

Pressure could build up and the container could burst, causing an injury.

■ Keep the oven vent unobstructed.

■ Keep the oven free from grease buildup.

■ Place the oven rack in the desired position

while the oven is cool. If racks must be handled when hot, do not let pot holder contact the heating elements.

■ When using cooking or roasting bags in the

oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.

■ Pulling out the rack to the stop-lock is a

convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also a precaution against burns from touching hot surfaces of the door or oven walls.

■ Do not use the oven to dry newspapers.

If overheated, they can catch on fire.

■ Do not use the oven for a storage area. Items

stored in an oven can ignite.

■ Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils

or food in the oven when not in use.

■ Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottoms,

except as suggested in this manual. Improper installation of aluminum foil may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.

Stand away from the range when opening the oven door. Hot air or steam which escapes can cause burns to hands, face and/or eyes.

WARNING!

OVEN

READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION CAREFULLY.

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 the oven. Residue from oven cleaners will damage the inside of the oven when the self-clean cycle is used.

■ Do not clean the door gasket. The door gasket

is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to rub, damage or move the gasket.

■ Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the

convection roasting rack, broiler pan, grid and other cookware.

■ Shiny, silver-colored oven racks (on some

models) should be removed from the oven before beginning the self-clean cycle.

■ Gray porcelain-coated oven racks (on some

models) may be cleaned in the oven during the self-clean cycle.

■ Be sure to wipe up excess spillage before

starting the self-cleaning operation.

■ If the self-cleaning mode malfunctions, turn

the oven off and disconnect the power supply. Have it serviced by a qualified technician.

■ Clean only parts listed in this Owner’s Manual.

SELF-CLEANING UPPER OVEN

■ The purpose of the WARM setting of the lower

oven drawer is to hold hot cooked foods at serving temperature. Always start with hot food; cold food cannot be heated or cooked in the WARM setting of the lower oven drawer.

■ Do not use the drawer to dry newspapers.

If overheated, they can catch on fire.

■ Do not leave paper products, plastics, canned

food or combustible materials in the drawer.

■ Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings in or

near your drawer.

■ Do not warm food in the drawer for more than

two hours.

■ Never place, use or self-clean the lower oven

drawer pan in the upper oven.

■ Do not touch the heating element or the interior

surface of the drawer. These surfaces may be hot enough to burn.

REMEMBER: The inside surface of the drawer may be hot when the drawer is opened.

■ Use care when opening the drawer. Open the

drawer a crack and let hot air or steam escape before removing or replacing food. Hot air or steam which escapes can cause burns to hands, face and/or eyes.

■ Do not use aluminum foil to line the lower

oven drawer. Foil is an excellent heat insulator and will trap heat beneath it. This will upset the performance of the drawer and it could damage the interior finish.

LOWER OVEN DRAWER (on some models)

Temperature Limiter

Every radiant surface unit has a temperature limiter.

The temperature limiter protects the glass cooktop from getting too hot.

The temperature limiter may cycle the units off for a time if:

■ The pan boils dry.

■ The pan bottom is not flat.

■ The pan is off center.

■ There is no pan on the unit.

Consumer Support Troubleshooting Tips Care and Cleaning Operating Instructions Safety Instructions

About the radiant surface units.

NOTE: Throughout this manual, features and appearance may vary from your model.

Never cook directly on the glass. Always use cookware.

About the radiant surface units

The radiant cooktop features heating units beneath a smooth glass surface.

Cooktop temperatures increase with the number of surface units that are on. With 3 or 4 units turned on, surface temperatures are high. Always use caution when touching the cooktop.

An indicator light will come on when the surface unit is turned on.

The appropriate HOT SURFACE indicator light will glow when its corresponding radiant element is turned on and will remain on until the surface has cooled below 150°F.

NOTE:

Hot surface indicator light will:

■ Come on when the surface unit is

turned on.

■ Stay on even after the unit is turned off.

■ Glow brightly until the unit has cooled

below 150°F.

NOTE: A slight odor is normal when a new cooktop is used for the first time. It is caused by the heating of new parts and insulating materials and will disappear in a short time.

NOTE: On models with light-colored glass cooktops, it is normal for the cooking zones to change color when hot or cooling down. This is temporary and will disappear as the glass cools to room temperature.

It is safe to place hot cookware from the oven or surface on the glass cooktop when the surface is cool.

Even after the surface units are turned off, the glass cooktop retains enough heat to continue cooking. To avoid overcooking, remove pans from the surface units when the food is cooked. Avoid placing anything on the surface unit until it has cooled completely.

■ Water stains (mineral deposits) are removable

using the cleaning cream or full strength white vinegar.

■ Use of window cleaner may leave an iridescent

film on the cooktop. The cleaning cream will remove this discoloration.

■ Don’t store heavy items above the cooktop.

If they drop onto the cooktop, they can cause damage.

■ Do not use the surface as a cutting board.

Stainless Steel:

recommended

Aluminum:

heavy weight recommended

Good conductivity. Aluminum residues sometimes appear as scratches on the cooktop, but can be removed if cleaned immediately. Because of its low melting point, thin weight aluminum should not be used.

Copper Bottom:

recommended

Copper may leave residues which can appear as scratches. The residues can be removed, as long as the cooktop is cleaned immediately. However, do not let these pots boil dry. Overheated metal can bond to glass cooktops. An overheated copper bottom pot will leave a residue that will permanently stain the cooktop if not removed immediately.

Porcelain Enamel Covered Cast Iron:

recommended

As long as the cookware is covered completely with porcelain enamel, this cookware is recommended. Caution is recommended for cast iron cookware that is not completely covered with smooth porcelain enamel, as it may scratch the glass ceramic cooktop.

Glass-ceramic:

usable, but not recommended

Poor performance. May scratch the surface.

Stoneware:

usable, but not recommended

Poor performance. May scratch the surface.

Check pans for flat bottoms by using a straight edge.

Pans with rounded, curved, ridged or warped bottoms are not recommended.

Home Canning Tips

Be sure the canner is centered over the surface unit.

Make sure the canner is flat on the bottom.

To prevent burns from steam or heat, use caution when canning.

Use recipes and procedures from reputable sources. These are available from manufacturers such as Ball®and Kerr®and the Department of Agriculture Extension Service.

You can use aluminum foil to line the broiler pan and broiler grid. However, you must mold the foil tightly to the grid and cut slits in it just like the grid.

Without the slits, the foil will prevent fat and meat juices from draining into the broiler pan. The juices could become hot enough to catch on fire. If you do not cut the slits, you are essentially frying, not broiling.

Do not use aluminum foil on the bottom of the oven.

Never entirely cover a rack with aluminum foil. This will disturb the heat circulation and result in poor baking.

A smaller sheet of foil may be used to catch a spillover by placing it on a lower rack several inches below the food.

Cut slits in the foil just like the grid.

Preheating and Pan Placement

Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it. Preheating is necessary for good results when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and breads.

To preheat, set the oven at the correct temperature. The control will beep when the oven is preheated and the display will show your set temperature. This will take approximately 10–15 minutes.

Baking results will be better if baking pans are centered in the oven as much as possible. If baking with more than one pan, place the pans so each has at least 1″ to 11⁄2″ of air space around it.

If baking four cake layers at the same time, place two layers on rack B and two layers on rack D. Stagger pans on the rack so one is not directly above the other.

Before you begin…

The racks have stops, so that when placed correctly on the supports, they will stop before coming completely out, and will not tilt.

When placing and removing cookware, pull the rack out until it stops.

On some models, the bake heating element is under the oven floor. Do not place foods on the oven bottom for cooking.

To remove a rack, pull it toward you, tilt the front end up and pull it out.

To replace, place the end of the rack (stop-locks) on the support, tilt up the front and push the rack in.

CAUTION: When you are using a

rack in the lowest position (A), you will need to use caution when pulling the rack out. We recommend that you pull the rack out several inches and then, using two pot holders, pull the rack out by holding the sides of it. The rack is low and you could be burned if you place your hand in the middle of the rack and pull all the way out. Be very careful not to burn your hand on the door when using the rack in the lowest position (A).

The oven has 6 rack positions.

Adjust the upper oven thermostat—Do it yourself!

You may find that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. Use your new oven for a few weeks to become more familiar with it. If you still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the thermostat yourself.

Do not use thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of your oven. These thermometers may vary 20–40 degrees.

NOTE: This adjustment will only affect baking and roasting temperatures; it will not affect broiling, convection or self-cleaning temperatures. The adjustment will be retained in memory after a power failure.

The type of margarine will affect baking performance!

Most recipes for baking have been developed using high fat products such as butter or margarine (80% fat). If you decrease the fat, the recipe may not give the same results as with a higher fat product.

Recipe failure can result if cakes, pies, pastries, cookies or candies are made with low fat spreads. The lower the fat content of a spread product, the more noticeable these differences become.

Federal standards require products labeled “margarine” to contain at least 80% fat by weight. Low fat spreads, on the other hand, contain less fat and more water. The high moisture content of these spreads affects the texture and flavor of baked goods. For best results with your old favorite recipes, use margarine, butter or stick spreads containing at least 70% vegetable oil.

Your control will allow you to lock out the touch pads so they cannot be activated when pressed.

NOTES:

■ Always use the included drawer rack when

using the lower oven drawer.

■ The lower oven drawer cannot be used during

a self-clean cycle of the upper oven.

■ Do not put food, foil or cookware directly on

the bottom of the lower oven drawer. Always use the included drawer rack.

■ If foods require a cover, use only foil or lids

able to withstand baking temperatures. Do not use plastic.

■ Maximum height of foods that can be baked

in the lower oven drawer is 3

⁄2″.

■ Do not put liquid or water in the lower oven

drawer.

■ Never place plastics, paper, canned foods or

combustible material in the lower oven drawer.

The lower oven drawer may be used to bake foods using the same times and temperatures as a standard oven. Foods ideal for baking in the lower oven drawer include pizza, frozen foods, casseroles, biscuits, rolls and many desserts.

Push in and turn the lower oven drawer knob to any desired setting.

When Using the Lower Oven Drawer Warm Setting

The WARM SETTING of the lower oven drawer can be used to keep hot cooked foods at serving temperatures. Always start with hot food. Do not use the WARM SETTING to heat cold food other than crisping crackers, chips or dry cereal.

NOTE: The beginning temperature of the food, the amount of food, the type of food, the container and the amount of time the food is in the drawer will affect the quality and ending temperature of the food.

Push in and turn the control knob to the warm setting.

The lower oven drawer uses less energy than the upper oven. Allow the following approximate times for preheating:

Desired Lower Preheat Oven Temperature Time

WARM 10 minutes

350°F 15 minutes

425°F 25 minutes

Because heated air is circulated evenly throughout the oven, foods can be baked with excellent results using multiple racks.

Multi-rack baking may increase cook times slightly for some foods but the overall result is time saved. Cookies, muffins, biscuits and other quickbreads give very good results with multi-rack baking.

To cook food on more than one rack in convection bake, use CONVECTION BAKE MULTI.

When baking on 3 racks, place one offset rack in the third (C) position, the flat rack in the fourth (D) position and one offset rack in the sixth (F) position.

For two-rack baking, place one offset rack in the second (B) rack position. Place the flat rack in the fourth (D) rack position.

MULTI/1 RACK pad twice. See the 1-Rack Convection Baking section below.

Introduction

Convection Fan Operation

In a convection oven, a fan circulates hot air over, under and around the food.

This circulating hot air is evenly distributed throughout the oven cavity. As a result, foods are evenly cooked and browned—often in less time with convection heat.

NOTE: To maximize cooking evenness, the fan is designed to rotate in both directions, with a pause in between. This is normal.

The convection fan shuts off when the oven door is opened. DO NOT leave the door open for long periods of time while using convection cooking or you may shorten the life of the convection heating element.

■ In convection bake modes, for maximum cooking

evenness, the fan is designed to rotate in both directions, with a pause in between. This is normal.

Cookware for Convection Cooking

Before using your convection oven, check to see if your cookware leaves room for air circulation in the oven. If you are baking with several pans, leave space between them. Also, be sure the pans do not touch each other or the walls of the oven.

Paper and Plastic

Heat-resistant paper and plastic containers that are recommended for use in regular baking can also be used for convection baking, but should not be used at temperatures higher than the temperature recommended by the cookware manufacturer. Plastic cookware

that is heat-resistant to temperatures of 400°F can also be used.

Metal and Glass

Any type of cookware will work in your convection oven. However, metal pans heat the fastest and are recommended for convection baking.

■ Darkened or matte-finished pans will bake

faster than shiny pans.

■ Glass or ceramic pans cook more slowly.

For recipes like oven-baked chicken, use a pan with low sides. Hot air cannot circulate well around food in a pan with high sides.

Convection Roast

■ Good for large tender cuts of meat, uncovered.

The convection fan circulates the heated air evenly over and around the food. Meat and poultry are browned on all sides as if they were cooked on a rotisserie. Using the roasting rack provided, heated air will be circulated over, under and around the food being roasted. The heated air seals in juices quickly for a moist and tender product while, at the same time, creating a rich golden brown exterior.

When you are convection roasting, it is important that you use the broiler pan

and grid and the special roasting rack for best convection roasting results. The pan is used to catch grease spills and the grid is used to prevent grease spatters, while the rack allows the heated air to circulate under the meat and increase browning on the underside of the meat or poultry.

■ Place the grid on the broiler pan

and put the roasting rack over them, making sure the posts on the roasting rack fit into the holes in broiler pan.

■ Place the meat on the roasting rack.

How to Set the Upper Oven For Warming (on some models)

The WARM feature keeps cooked foods hot.

This feature is not designed to reheat cold food.

To use the WARM feature, touch the WARM pad and then the START pad.

To use the WARM feature after Timed Baking or Roasting, follow these steps:

Touch the mode of cooking that you want to use (BAKE, CONVECTION

BAKE MULTI, CONVECTION BAKE 1 RACK or CONVECTION ROAST).

Touch the number pads to set the oven temperature.

Touch the COOKING TIME pad.

Touch the number pads to set the desired length of cooking time.

Touch the WARM pad.

Touch the START pad.

To Crisp Stale Items

■ Place food in low-sided dishes or pans.

■ For best results, place the food items in

a single layer. Do not stack.

■ Leave them uncovered.

■ Check crispness after 20–30 minutes.

Add time as needed.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

■ Food should be kept hot in its cooking container

or transferred to a heat-safe serving dish.

■ For moist foods, cover them with an oven-safe

lid or aluminum foil.

■ Fried or crisp foods do not need to be covered,

but can become too dry if warmed for too long.

■ Repeated opening of the door allows the hot

air to escape and the food to cool.

■ Allow extra time for the temperature inside the

oven to stabilize after adding items.

■ With large loads it may be necessary to cover

some of the cooked food items.

■ Remove serving spoons, etc., before placing

containers in the oven.

■ Do not use plastic containers, lids or

plastic wrap.

CAUTION: Plastic containers, lids or

plastic wrap will melt if placed in the oven. Melted plastic may not be removable and is not covered under your warranty.

How to Set the Upper Oven For Proofing (on some models)

Place the covered dough in a dish in the oven on shelf B or C.

NOTE: For best results, cover the dough with a cloth or with greased plastic wrap (the plastic may need to be anchored underneath the container so the oven fan will not blow it off).

Touch the PROOF pad and then the START pad.

The display will read PrF (proof).

The oven interior light turns on and remains on during proofing.

The proofing feature automatically provides the optimum temperature for the proofing process, and therefore does not have a temperature adjustment.

Set the KITCHEN TIMER ON/OFF for the minimum proof time.

When proofing is finished, touch the CLEAR/OFF pad.

■ To avoid lowering the oven temperature and

lengthening proofing time, do not open the oven door unnecessarily.

■ Check bread products early to avoid

over-proofing.

NOTE:

■ Do not use the proofing mode for warming

food or keeping food hot. The proofing oven temperature is not hot enough to hold foods at safe temperatures. Use the WARM feature to keep food warm.

■ Proofing will not operate when oven is above

125°F. “HOT” will show in the display.

Using the proofing and warming features.

The proofing feature maintains a warm environment useful for rising yeast-leavened products.

How to Set the Upper Oven for Cleaning

The oven door must be closed and all controls set correctly for the cycle to work properly.

Touch the SELF CLEAN STD/LO pad once for a 4-hour clean time or twice for a 3-hour clean time.

A 3-hour self-clean time is recommended for use when cleaning small, contained spills. A self-clean time of 4 hours or longer is recommended for a dirtier oven.

If a time other than 4 hours or 3 hours is needed, use the number pads and enter the desired clean time.

You can change the clean time to any time between 21⁄2 hours and 5 hours, depending on how dirty your oven is.

Touch the START pad.

The door locks automatically. The display will show the clean time remaining. It will not be possible to open the oven door until the temperature drops below the lock temperature and the LOCKED light goes off.

When the LOCKED light goes off, you will be able to open the door.

■ The word LOCKED will flash and the

word door will display if you set the clean cycle and forget to close the oven door.

■ To stop a clean cycle, touch the

CLEAR/OFF pad. When the LOCKED light goes off indicating the oven has cooled below the locking temperature, you will be able to open the door.

Wipe up heavy soil on the oven bottom.

Before a Clean Cycle

We recommend venting your kitchen with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood during the first self-clean cycle.

Remove the convection roasting rack, broiler pan, broiler grid, probe, all cookware and any aluminum foil from the oven.

NOTE:

■ If your oven is equipped with shiny,

silver-colored oven racks, remove them before you begin the self-clean cycle.

■ If your oven is equipped with gray

porcelain-coated oven racks, they may be left in the oven during the self-clean cycle.

The shiny, silver-colored oven racks (on some models) and the convection roasting rack can be self-cleaned, but they will darken, lose their luster and become hard to slide.

Soil on the front frame of the range and outside the gasket on the door will need to be cleaned by hand. Clean these areas with hot water, soap-filled steel-wool pads or cleansers such as Soft Scrub®. Rinse well with clean water and dry.

Do not clean the gasket. The fiberglass material of the oven door gasket cannot withstand abrasion. It is essential for the gasket to remain intact. If you notice it becoming worn or frayed, replace it.

Wipe up any heavy spillovers on the oven bottom.

Make sure the oven light bulb cover is in place and the oven light is off.

IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given off during the self-cleaning cycle of any range. Move birds to another wellventilated room.

After a Clean Cycle

You may notice some white ash in the oven. Wipe it up with a damp cloth after the oven cools.

If white spots remain, remove them with a soapfilled steel wool pad and rinse thoroughly with a vinegar and water mixture.

These deposits are usually a salt residue that cannot be removed by the clean cycle.

If the oven is not clean after one clean cycle, repeat the cycle.

■ You cannot set the oven for cooking or

another self-clean cycle until the oven is cool enough for the door to unlock.

■ While the oven is self-cleaning, you can

touch the CLOCK pad to display the time of day. To return to the clean countdown, touch the SELF CLEAN STD/LO pad.

■ If the racks become hard to slide, apply

a small amount of cooking oil to a paper towel and wipe the edges of the oven racks with the paper towel.

How to Delay the Start of Cleaning

Touch the SELF CLEAN STD/LO pad once for a 4-hour clean time or twice for a 3-hour clean time.

A 3-hour self-clean time is recommended for use when cleaning small, contained spills. A self-clean time of 4 hours or longer is recommended for a dirtier oven.

If a time other than 4 hours or 3 hours is needed, use the number pads and enter the desired clean time.

This should be removed immediately before heating again or the discoloration may be permanent.

WARNING: Carefully check the

bottom of pans for roughness that would scratch the cooktop.
