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

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 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.

■ 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.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

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.

■ Do not flame foods on the cooktop. If you do

flame 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.

■ The surface units are automatically disabled

during the self-clean cycle. Make sure that all surface unit controls are turned off at all times during the self-clean cycle. Any surface unit that is set to an on position, while the self-clean cycle is operating, will automatically come on after the self-clean cycle is finished, and could result in an on, unattended surface unit. Wait until the self-clean cycle is finished to set and use the surface units.

■ Do not place or store items that can melt or

catch fire on the glass cooktop, even when it is not being used, or during the self-clean cycle.

■ 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

Ceramic Cooktop Cleaner and the 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.

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.

■ CAUTION: DO NOT LEAVE FOOD OR

COOKING UTENSILS, ETC. IN THE OVEN OR ON THE COOKTOP DURING SELF-CLEANING MODE OF OPERATION.

■ 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

shiny, silver-colored oven racks (on some models) and all other cookware.

■ 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.

■ The surface units are automatically disabled

SELF-CLEANING OVEN

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.

■ 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. Improper installation of aluminum foil may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.

OVEN

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.

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

WARNING: The surface

units are automatically disabled during the self-clean cycle. Make sure that all surface unit controls are turned off at all times during the self-clean cycle. Any surface unit that is set to an on position, while the self-clean cycle is operating, will automatically come on after the self-clean cycle is finished, and could result in an on, unattended surface unit. Wait until the self-clean cycle is finished to set and use the 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 65.5°C (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 65.5°C (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.

The oven has 6 rack positions.

Do not place foods directly on the oven floor.

Oven rack

Using the oven. www.GEAppliances.ca

To avoid possible burns, place the racks in the desired position before you turn the oven on.

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).

How to Set the Oven for Baking or Roasting

Touch the BAKE pad.

Touch the number pads to set the desired temperature.

Touch the START pad.

Check food for doneness at minimum time on recipe. Cook longer if necessary.

Touch the OFF pad when cooking is complete.

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 15–20 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

2.5 cm to 3.8 cm (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.

Type of Food Rack Position

Frozen pies (on cookie sheet) D Angel food cake A Bundt or pound cakes B or C Biscuits, muffins, brownies, C or D

cookies, cupcakes, layer cakes, pies

Casseroles C or D Turkey A

Aluminum Foil

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.

Adjust the 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 6–11 degrees C (20–40 degrees F).

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.

To Adjust the Thermostat

Touch the BROIL and BAKE pads at the same time for 3 seconds until the display shows SF.

Touch the BAKE pad. A two digit number shows in the display.

Touch BAKE again to alternate between increasing and decreasing the oven temperature.

The oven temperature can be adjusted up to (+) 19°C (35ºF) hotter or (-) 19°C (35ºF) cooler. Touch the number pads the same way you read them. For example, to change the oven temperature 12°C (15ºF), touch 1 and 5.

When you have made the adjustment, touch the START pad to go back to the time of day display. Use your oven as you would normally.

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.

Multi-rack position.

Using the convection oven. (on some models)

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.

Introduction

The convection oven comes with two convection baking modes started by touching the CONVECTION BAKE pad once or twice, depending on your cooking need:

MULTI—for convection cooking on more than one rack. Touch the CONVECTION

BAKE pad once. See the Multi-Rack Convection Baking section below.

1 RACK—for convection cooking on one rack only. Touch the CONVECTION BAKE pad twice. See the 1-Rack Convection Baking section below.

Multi-Rack Convection Baking

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, touch the CONVECTION BAKE pad once.

When baking on 3 racks, place one rack in the second (B) position, one rack in the fourth (D) position and one rack in the sixth (F) position.

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

1-Rack Convection Baking

When convection baking with only 1 rack, touch the CONVECTION BAKE pad twice and follow the rack positions recommended in the Using the Oven section.

■ Ideal for baked foods cooked on 1 rack.

Adapting Recipes…

You can use your favorite recipes in the convection oven.

When convection baking, the Auto Recipe™Conversion feature automatically reduces the set regular baking temperature by the recommended 14°C (25°F). See

Auto Recipe™Conversion in the Special Features section.

■ Use pan size recommended.

■ Some package instructions for frozen

casseroles or main dishes have been developed using commercial convection ovens. For best results in this oven, preheat the oven and use the temperature on the package.

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. 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 a broiler pan and grid designed for broiling for best convection roasting results. The pan is used to catch grease spills and the grid is used to prevent grease spatters.

■ Place a rack in the lowest rack position (A).

How to Set the Oven for Convection Baking or Roasting

Touch the CONVECTION BAKE pad once for multi-rack convection baking. This mode is used for cooking food items on more than one rack (i.e., 2, 3 or more racks) at the same time in convection bake. See the Multi-Rack Convection Baking section for more information.

Touch the CONVECTION BAKE pad twice for one rack convection baking. This mode is used for cooking food items on only one rack in convection bake.

Touch the START pad.

NOTE: If the Auto Recipe™Conversion Feature is on, it will automatically reduce the set regular baking temperature by 14°C (25°F) to the appropriate convection temperature. See Auto Recipe™Conversion in the Special Features section.

To change the oven temperature, touch the CONVECTION BAKE or CONVECTION ROAST pad and then the number pads to set the new temperature.

When the oven starts to heat, the changing temperature, starting at 37.8°C (100°F), will be displayed. When oven reaches the temperature you set, 3 beeps will sound.

Touch OFF pad when finished.

■ You will hear a fan while cooking with convection.

The fan will stop when the door is opened, but the heat will not turn off.

■ You may hear the oven clicking during baking. This is

normal.

■ 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 204°C (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.

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

52°C (125°F). “HOT” will show in the display.

How to Set the 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 , or CONVECTION ROAST).

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.

Wipe up heavy soil on the oven bottom.

Using the self-cleaning oven.

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

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 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) 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 well- ventilated room.

How to Set the Oven for Cleaning

WARNING: The surface

Touch the CLEAN 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 2

⁄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 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.

How to Delay the Start of Cleaning

Touch the CLEAN 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 TIME pad.

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 soap-filled 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 CLEAN pad.
