Before Using the Oven

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.

Your oven temperature is controlled very accurately using an oven control system. We recommend that you operate the oven for a number of weeks using the given on recipes as a guide to become familiar with your new oven’s performance. If you think an adjustment is necessary, see the Adjust the Oven Thermostat section. It gives easy instructions on how to adjust the thermostat.

9ven 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.

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

all the way back.

Shelf Positions

The oven has four shelf supports identified in this

illustration as A (bottom), B, C and D (top). Shelf positions for cooking are suggested in the

Baking, Roasting and Broiling sections.

Automatic Oven Shut Off

As a safety feature, the single oven and the upper oven of double oven models will automatically shut itself off if it has been left on for more than 12 hours.

On double ovens, only the top oven has this feature.

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.

‘reheating

Preheat the oven if the recipe calls for it. Preheat means bringing the oven up to the specified temperature before putting the food in the oven. To preheat, set the oven at the correct temperature—selecting a higher temperature does not shorten preheat time.

Baking Pans

Use the proper baking pan. The type of finish on the pan determines the amount of browning that will occur.

● Dark, rough or dull pans absorb heat resulting in a

browner, crisper crust. Use this type for pies.

● Shiny, bright and smooth pans reflect heat, resulting

in a lighter, more delicate browning. Cakes and cookies require this type of pan.

● Glass baking dishes absorb heat. When baking

in glass baking dishes, the temperature may need to be reduced by

25”F.

Preheating is necessary for good results when baking cakes, cookies, pastry and breads. For most casseroles and roasts, preheating is not necessary. For ovens without a preheat indicator light or tone, preheat

10 minutes. After the oven is preheated, place the food in the oven as quickly as possible to prevent heat from escaping.

Pan Placement

For even cooking and proper browning, there must be enough room for air circulation in the oven. Baking results will be better if baking pans are centered as much as possible rather than being placed to the front or to the back of the oven.

Pans should not touch each other or the walls of the oven. Allow 1- to 1 as from the back of the oven, the door and the sides. If you need to use two shelves, stagger the pans so one is not directly above the other.

K-inch

space between pans as well

Baking Guides

When using prepared baking mixes, follow package recipe or instructions for the best baking results.

When baking cookies, flat cookie sheets (without sides) produce better-looking cookies. Cookies baked in a jelly roll pan (short sides all around) may have darker edges and pale or light browning may occur.

Do not use a cookie sheet so large that it touches the walls or the door of the oven. Never entirely cover a shelf with a large cookie sheet.

For best results, use only one cookie sheet in the oven at a time.

Pies

For best results, bake pies in dark, rough or dull pans to produce a browner, crisper crust. Frozen pies in foil pans should be placed on an aluminum cookie sheet for baking since the shiny foil pan reflects heat away from the pie crust; the cookie sheet helps retain it.

Cakes

When baking cakes, warped or bent pans will cause uneven baking results and poorly shaped products. A cake baked in a pan larger than the recipe recommends will usually be crisper, thinner and drier

than it should be. If baked in a pan smaller than recommended, it may be undercooked and batter may overflow. Check the recipe to make sure the pan size used is the one recommended.

Aluminum Foil

Never entirely cover a shelf with aluminum foil. This will disturb the heat circulation and result in poor baking. A smaller sheet of foil maybe used to catch a several inches below the food.

Don’t Peek

BAKING

(continued)

Set the timer for the estimated cooking time and do not open the door to look at your food. Most recipes provide minimum and maximum baking times such as “bake 30-40 minutes.”

DO NOT open the door to check until the minimum time. Opening the oven door frequently during cooking allows heat to escape and makes baking times longer. Your baking results may also be affected.

TIMED BAKING

(Ovens Controlled with Touch Pads)

How to Time Bake

The oven control allows you to turn the oven on or off automatically at specific times that you set.

NOTE: Before beginning make sure the clock shows the correct time of day.

To set the clock, first press the CLOCK pad. Press the INCREASE or DECREASE pad until the correct time of day is displayed.

How to Set Immediate Start and Automatic Stop

To avoid possible burns, place the shelves in the correct position before you turn the oven on.

The oven will turn on immediately and cook for a

selected length of time. At the end of Cook Time,

the oven will turn off automatically.

1. Press the COOK TIME pad. NOTE: If your recipe requires preheating, you may

need to add additional time to the length of the Cook Time.

2. Press the INCREASE pad until the desired length of baking time appears in the display.

3. Press the BAKE pad.

4. Press the INCREASE or DECREASE pad until the desired temperature is displayed. An attention tone will sound if step 3 is not done.

The oven will start automatically. The word “ON” and “100°” will be displayed. The Cook Time will begin to count down. As the oven heats up, the display will show the changing temperature. When the oven reaches the temperature you set, a tone will sound. The oven will continue to cook for the programmed amount of time, then shut off automatically.

5. Press the CLEAIVOFF pad to clear the display if necessary. Remove the food from the oven. Remember, even though the oven shuts off automatically, foods continue cooking after the controls are off.

NOTE:

●

Foods that spoil easily, such as milk, eggs, fish,

stuffhgs, poultry and pork, should not be allowed to

sit for more than one hour before or after cooking.

Room temperature promotes the growth of harmful bacteria. Be sure that the oven light is off because heat from the bulb will speed harmful bacteria growth.

● A fan may automatically turn on and off to cool

internal parts. This is normal, and the fan may continue to run after the oven is turned off.

Roasting is cooking by dry heat. Tender meat or poultry can be roasted uncovered in your oven. Roasting temperatures, which should be low and

steady, keep spattering to a minimum.

Roasting is really a baking procedure used for meats. Therefore, oven controls are set for Baking or Timed Baking. (You may hear a slight clicking sound, indicating the oven is working properly.) Timed Baking will turn the oven on and off automatically.

Ovens Controlled with Touch Pads

Most meats continue to cook slightly while standing, after being removed from the oven. Standing time recommended for roasts is 10 to 20 minutes. This allows roasts to firm up and makes them easier to carve. Internal temperature will rise about 5° to 10”F.; to compensate for temperature rise, if desired, remove the roast from oven sooner (at 5° to 10”F. less than temperature in the Roasting Guide).

Remember that food will continue to cook in the hot

oven and therefore should be removed when the

desired internal temperature has been reached.

Broiling is cooking food by intense radiant heat from the

upper broil element in the oven. Most fish and tender cuts of meat can be broiled. Follow these directions to keep spattering and smoking to a minimum.

1. If the meat has fat or gristle around the edge, cut vertical slashes through both about 2 inches apart. If desired, the fat maybe trimmed, leaving a layer about 1/8 inch thick.

2. Place the meat on the broiler rack in the broiler pan.

Always use the rack so the fat drips into the broiler pan; otherwise the juices may become hot enough

to catch on fire.

3. Position a flat shelf on recommended shelf position as suggested in the Broiling Guide. Most broiling is done on C position, but if your range is connected to 208 volts, you may wish to use a higher position.

Ovens Controlled with Touch Pads

4. Leave the door open to the broil stop position.

The door stays open by itself, yet the proper temperature is maintained in the oven.

5. Turn the food only once during broiling. Time the foods for the first side according to the Broiling Guide. Turn the food, then use the times given for the second side as a guide to the

prefemed doneness.

NOTE: A fan may automatically turn on and off to cool internal parts. This is normal, and the fan may continue to run after the oven is turned off.

Questions and Answers

Q. Why are my meats not turning out as brown as

they should?

A. In some areas, the power (voltage) to the range

may be low. In these cases, preheat the broil element for 10 minutes before placing broiler pan with food in oven. Check to see if you are using the recommended shelf position. Broil for the longest period of time indicated in the Broiling Guide. Turn the food only once during broiling. You may need to move the food to a higher shelf position.

Q. When broiling, is it necessary to always use a

rack in the pan?

A. Yes. Using the rack suspends the meat over the

pan. As the meat cooks, the juices fall into the pan, thus keeping the meat drier. Juices are protected by the rack and stay cooler, thus preventing excessive spatter and smoking.

Q. Should I salt the meat before broiling?

A. No. Salt draws out the juices and allows them to

evaporate. Always salt after cooking. Turn the meat with tongs; piercing the meat with a fork also

allows the juices to escape. When broiling poultry

or fish, brush each side often with butter.

Q. Do I need to grease my broiler rack to prevent

meat from sticking?

A. No. The broiler rack is designed to reflect broiler

heat, thus keeping the surface cool enough to prevent meat from sticking to the surface.

However, spraying the broiler rack lightly with a vegetable cooking spray before cooking will make

clean-up easier.

CLEAIVOFF

BROILING GUIDE

● Always use the broiler pan and rack that comes

with your oven. It is designed to minimize smoking and spattering by trapping the juices in the shielded lower part of the pan.

“

The oven door should be open to the broil

stop position.

● For steaks and chops, slash fat evenly around the

outside edges of the meat. To slash, cut crosswise through the outer fat surface just to the edge of the meat. Use tongs to turn the meat over to prevent piercing the meat and losing the juices.

● If desired, marinate meats or chicken before

broiling, or brush with barbecue sauce last 5 to

10 minutes only.

On models with double ovens, only the upper oven is self-cleaning. The bottom oven is standard clean. See the Porcelain Oven Interior section. Single oven models are self-cleaning.

Before a Clean Cycle

The oven must be completely cool in order to set the self-clean cycle.

We recommend venting with an open window

or using a ventilation fan or hood during the first self-cleaning cycle.

1. Remove the broiler pan, broiler rack, all cookware and any aluminum foil from the oven—they can’t withstand the high cleaning temperatures.

NOTE: The oven shelves may be cleaned in the self-cleaning oven. However, they will darken, lose their luster and become hard to slide.

2. Wipe up heavy soil on the oven bottom. If you

use soap, rinse thoroughly before self-cleaning

to prevent staining.

the fiberglass material of the gasket has an extremely low resistance to abrasion. An intact and well-fitting oven door gasket is essential for energy-efficient oven operation and good baking results. If you notice the gasket becoming worn, frayed or damaged in any way or if it has become displaced on the door, you should have it replaced.

Do not let water run down through openings in the top of the door. To help prevent water from getting in these slots when cleaning, open the door as far as it will go.

4. Close the oven door and make sure the oven light is off. If the oven light is not turned off, the life of the bulb will be shortened or it may burn out immediately. The door latches automatically after the clean cycle is set.

Do not use commercial oven cleaners or oven protectors in or near the self-cleaning oven.

sides and front of the oven door. Rinse well. You may also use a glass cleaner to clean the glass on the outside of the door.

●

Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces

and basting materials containing acids may cause discoloration and should be wiped up immediately. When surface is cool, clean and rinse.

●

Do not use oven cleaners, cleansing powders or

harsh abrasives on the outside of the door.

Lift-Off Oven Door

(lower

Follow the same directions for removing and replacing the door as described above.

TO CLEAN THE DOOR: Inside of door:

● Soap and water will normally do the job. Heavy

spattering or

spillovers

may require cleaning with a mild abrasive cleaner. Soapy, wet metal pads may also be used.

Do not allow food spills with a high sugar or acid content (such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit juices or pie filling) to remain on the surface. They may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.

● If necessary, you may use an oven cleaner.

Follow the package directions.

. Clean the inside of the oven window with a mild

non-scratching cleaner and a damp cloth.

Outside of door:

● Use soap and water to thoroughly clean the top,

sides and front of the oven door. DO NOT let water run down through openings in the top of the door. Rinse well. You may also use a glass cleaner to clean the glass on the outside of the door.

● Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato sauces

and basting materials containing acids may cause discoloration and should be wiped up immediately. When surface is cool, clean and rinse.

● Do not use oven cleaners, cleansing powders or

harsh abrasives on the outside of the door.

acid content (such as milk, tomatoes, sauerkraut, fruit

may cause a dull spot even after cleaning.

Household ammonia may make the cleaning job easier. Place 1/2 cup in a shallow glass or pottery container in a cold oven overnight. The ammonia fumes will help loosen the burned-on grease and food.

If necessary, you may use an oven cleaner. Follow the package directions.

Cautions about using spray-on oven cleaners:

● Do not spray on the electrical controls and switches

because it could cause a short circuit and result in sparking or fire.

● Do not allow a film from the cleaner to build up

on the temperature sensor—it could cause the oven

to heat improperly. (The sensor is located at the top

of the oven.) Carefully wipe the sensor clean after

each oven cleaning, being careful not to move the

sensor as a change in its position could affect how

the oven bakes.

● Do not spray any oven cleaner on the oven

door, handles or any exterior surface of the oven, cabinets or painted surfaces. The cleaner can

damage

these surfaces.

Glass Window Painted Surfaces

To clean the outside of the oven window, use a glass cleaner. Rinse and polish with a dry cloth.

Do not allow the water or cleaner to run down

inside the openings in the glass or the openings in

the top of the oven door while cleaning.

Painted surfaces include the outside of the oven door and the control panel. Clean these with soap and

water or a vinegar and water solution. Do not use commercial oven cleaners, cleansing powder, steel wool or harsh abrasives on any painted surface.

Control Panel and Knobs

It’s a good idea to wipe the control panel after each use. Clean with mild soap and water or vinegar and

water, rinse with clean water and polish dry with a soft cloth.

Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong liquid cleansers, plastic scouring pads or oven cleansers on the control panel—they will damage the finish. A 50/50 solution of vinegar and hot water solution works well.

The control knobs (lower oven only-on some models) may be removed for easier cleaning.

Before removing the knobs for cleaning, please note that the knobs on the left side and the knobs on the right side are on the proper OFF position. When

eplacing

the knobs, check the OFF position to insure

proper placement.

The knob stem has a groove in each side. The groove

on one side has a spring clip. The other groove is

clear (see illustration). When removing the knob, it may be helpful to slip a thin cloth (such as a handkerchief) or a piece of string under and around the knob edge and pull up. Check the inside of the

knob and find the molded rib.

Wash the knobs in soap and water or a vinegar and hot water solution but do not soak.

Replace the knob by fitting the molded rib inside the knob into the clear groove on the stem.
