SAFETY

INSTRUCTIONS

Read all instructions
before using this
appliance.

IMPORTANT

SAFETY NOTICE

The California Safe Drinking
Water and Toxic Enforcement
Act requires the Governor of
California to publish a list of

substances known to the state
to cause birth defects or other
reproductive harm, and
requires businesses to warn
customers of potential
exposure to such substances.

The fiberglass insulation in
self-cleaning ovens gives off a
very small amount of carbon
monoxide during the cleaning
cycle. Exposure can be
minimized by venting with
an open window or using a
ventilation fan or hood.

When You Get Your Oven

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

easy reference.

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

technician in accordance
with the provided Installation
Instmctions.

• Don’t attempt to repair
or replace any part of your
oven unless it is specifically

recommended in this book. All

other servicing should be referred

to a qualified technician.

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

BY REMOVING THE FUSE
OR SWITCHING OFF

THE CIRCUIT BREAKER.

• Do not leave children alone—

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

• Don’t allow anyone to climb,
stand or hang on the door.
They could damage the oven.

• CAUTION: ITEMS OE
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 heating elements and
may cause severe bums.

• DO NOT STORE OR
USE COMBUSTIBLE
MATERIALS, GASOLINE
OR OTHER ELAMMABLE
VAPORS AND LIQUIDS IN
THE VICINITY OE THIS OR
ANY OTHER APPLIANCE.

• Use only dry pot holders—^

Moist or damp pot holders on
hot surfaces may result in bums

from steam. Do not let potholders
touch hot heating elements. Do not
use a towel or other bulky cloth.

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

• Storage in or on appliance—

Do not store flammable materials
in the oven.

• Keep hood and grease filters

clean to maintain good venting

and to avoid grease fires.

• Do not let cooking grease
or other flammable materials
accumulate in or near the oven.

• Do not use water on grease

fires. Elame in oven can be
smothered by completely
closing door and touching
the CLEAR/OEE pad or use
dry chemical or foam type
extinguisher.

• Do not touch heating

elements or interior surface
of 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
the oven vent openings and
surfaces near the openings,
crevices around the oven door,
the edges of the door window
and the metal trim above door.

Remember: The inside surface
of the oven may be hot when
the door is opened.

• When cooking pork, follow

the directions exactly and always
cook the meat to an internal
temperature of at least 170°R
This assures that, in the remote
possibility that trichina may be
present in the meat, it will be
killed and the meat will be safe
to eat.

Oven

• Stand away from oven
when opening oven door.
The hot air or steam which
escapes can burn hands, face

and/or eyes.

• Don’t heat unopened food
containers in the oven.
Pressure could build up and
the container could burst,
causing an injury.

• Keep oven vent ducts
unobstructed.

• Keep oven free from
grease buildup.

• Place oven shelf in desired
position while oven is cool.

If shelves must be handled
when hot, do not let pot holder

contact heating units in

the oven.

• Pulling out shelf to shelf stop
is a convenience in lifting
heavy foods. It is also a
precaution against burns
from touching hot surfaces
of door or oven walls.

• When using cooking or
roasting bags in oven, follow

the manufacturer’s directions.

• Do not use your oven to dry
newspapers. If overheated,

they can catch fire.

INSTRUCTIONS (continued)

Self-Cleaning Oven

• Do not clean door gasket before
reading special cleaning
instructions in the Self-Clean
section of this book. 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.

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

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

• Do not use aluminum foil to

line oven bottoms, except as
suggested in manual. Improper
installation of these liners may
result in a risk of electric shock
or fire.

• Be sure to wipe up excess
spillage before starting the self

cleaning operation.

If You Need Service

• Read the Problem Solver in the
back of this book.

• Don’t attempt to repair or
replace any part of your oven
unless it is specifically
recommended in this book. All

other servicing should be referred
to a qualified technician.

SAVE THESE
INSTRUCTIONS

Tips

• Preheat oven only when
necessary. Most foods will cook
satisfactorily without preheating.
If you find preheating is necessary,
listen for the beep, and put food in
oven promptly after the oven is

preheated.

• Always turn oven off before
removing food.

• During baking, avoid frequent
door openings. Keep door open as
short a time as possible if it
is opened.

• Cook complete oven meals
instead of just one food item.
Potatoes, other vegetables and
some desserts will cook together
with a main-dish casserole, meat
loaf, chicken or roast. Choose
foods that cook at the same
temperature and in approximately
the same time.

• Use residual heat in the oven
whenever possible to finish
eooking casseroles, oven meals,
etc. Also add rolls or precooked
desserts to warm oven, using
residual heat to warm them.

• If the self-cleaning mode
malfunctions, turn off and
disconnect the power supply.

Have serviced by a qualified
technician.

Using Your Oven

INCREASE & DECREASE Pad Speed

You can change the speed of these
pads in 5 increments. While the
oven is off and the time of day
shows in the display, press & hold
the INCREASE and DECREASE
pads and the TIMER pad for 2 or 3
seconds. A number from 1 to 5
will replace “0:00” in the display.

1 is slowest and 5 is fastest. Use

INCREASE or DECREASE pad to
change, then press CLEAR/OFF to
return to time-of-day display.

Before Using Your Oven

1. Look at the controls. Be sure

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

2. Check oven interior. Look at the
shelves. Take a practice run at

removing and replacing them

properly, to give sure, sturdy support.

3. Read over information and tips
that follow.

4. Keep this book handy so you can
refer to it, especially during the first
weeks of using your new oven.

Oven Shelves

The shelves are designed with
stop-locks so that when placed
correctly on the shelf supports,
they will stop before coming
completely from 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 “stop”
position. Place the cookware on
the shelf, then slide the shelf back
into the oven. This will eliminate
reaching into the hot oven.

Shelf Positions

The oven has four shelf supports
A (bottom), B, C and D (top).
Shelf positions for cooking are
suggested on Baking and

Roasting pages.

Oven Light

The light comes on automatically
when the oven door is opened. Use
the pad on the oven control panel

to turn the light on and off when
the door is closed.

8

To remove the shelves from the
oven, pull them toward you, tilt front
end upward and pull shelf out.

To replace, place shelf on shelf
support with stop-locks (curved
extension of shelf) facing up and
toward rear of oven. Tilt up front
and push shelf toward back of
oven until it goes past “stop” on
oven wall. Then lower front of
shelf and push it all the way back.
