IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
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 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 manual. All other servicing should be referred to a qualified technician.
Have the installer show you the location
of the circuit breaker or fuse. Mark it for easy reference.
Before performing any service, disconnect
the oven 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. They could damage the oven, or cause severe personal injury.
Be sure the oven is securely installed in
a cabinet that is firmly attached to the house structure. Never allow anyone to climb, sit, stand or hang on the oven door.
Never leave the oven door open when you
are not watching the oven.
Always keep combustible wall covering,
curtains or drapes a safe distance from your oven.
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.
Teach children not to play with the
controls or any other part of the oven.
Large scratches or impacts to glass doors
can lead to broken or shattered glass.

WARNING!
For your safety, the information in this manual must be followed to minimize the risk of fire or explosion, electric shock, or to prevent property damage, personal injury, or loss of life.
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.
Do not store flammable materials in
an oven.
CAUTION: Items of interest to
children should not be stored in cabinets above an oven; children climbing on the oven 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 in cabinets over the oven. Flammable material could be ignited if brought in contact with hot surfaces 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 heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth.
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.
Do not use water on grease fires. Never pick
up a flaming pan. Turn the controls off.
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.
Do not touch 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 any interior area of the oven; allow sufficient time for cooling first.
Potentially hot surfaces include oven vent
openings, surfaces near the openings, crevices around the oven door, the edges of the window and metal trim parts above the door.
REMEMBER : The inside surface of the oven
may be hot when the door is opened.
Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings in
or near your oven.
Do not store or use combustible materials,
gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.
Stand away from the oven 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.
After broiling, always take the broiler pan
out of the oven and clean it. Leftover grease in the broiler pan can catch fire next time you use the pan.
Clean only parts listed in this Owner’s
Manual.
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.

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 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.
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.
Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the
broiler pan, grid and other cookware.
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.

Aluminum Foil
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.
Aluminum foil may also be used to catch a spillover.
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. To preheat, set the oven at the correct temperature. Preheating is necessary for good results when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and breads.
For ovens without a preheat indicator light or tone, preheat 10 minutes.
Baking results will be better if baking pans are centered in the oven as much as possible. Pans should not touch each other or the walls of the oven. If you need to use two racks, stagger the pans so one is not directly above the other, and leave approximately 11⁄2between pans, from the front, back and sides of the wall.

How to Set the Oven for Broiling
Leave the door open to the broil stop position. The door stays open by itself, yet the proper temperature is maintained in the oven.
NOTE: Food can be broiled with the door closed but it may not brown as well because the oven heating element will cycle on and off.
Place the meat or fish on the broiler grid in the broiler pan.
Follow suggested rack positions in the Broiling Guide.
The size, weight, thickness, starting temperature and your preference of
doneness will affect broiling times. This guide is based on meats at refrigerator temperature.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture says “Rare beef is popular, but you should know that cooking it to only 140°F means some food poisoning
organisms may survive.” (Source: Safe Food Book. Your Kitchen Guide. USDA Rev. June 1985.)
If your oven is connected to 208 volts, rare steaks may be broiled by preheating the broiler and positioning the oven rack one position higher.
