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.

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

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.

Baking

See Baking Guide.

NOTE: Oven has controls for
upper oven and lower oven. Be
sure to set the correct control.
Pads on the left side of panel are
for the upper oven. Pads on the
right side of panel are for the
lower oven. The TIMER ON/OFF,
COOK TIME, and STOP TIME
pads can be used for either oven.

Your oven temperature is
controlled very accurately using
an oven control system. It is
recommended that you operate the
oven for a number of weeks using
the time given on recipes as a
guide to become familiar with your
new oven’s performance. If you
think an adjustment is necessary,
see Adjusting Oven Temperature
section in this book.

How to Set Your Range for Baking

Step 1: Position the shelf or

shelves in the oven. If cooking on
two shelves at the same time, place
shelves on alternate shelf supports
and stagger food on them.

Step 2: Close the oven door.

Step 3: Touch the BAKE pad.

Step 4: Press the INCREASE or

DECREASE pad. The display will
show the last bake temperature
that was used. (Tap to change
temperature 5 degrees a tap. Press
and hold to change temperature
25 degrees at a time.)

The word “ON” and the changing
temperature will be displayed as
the oven heats up. When the oven
reaches the set temperature a tone
will sound.

To change oven temperature during
BAKE cycle, touch BAKE pad and
then INCREASE or DECREASE
pad to get new temperature.

Step 5: Touch the CLEAR/OFF
pad when baking is finished and
then remove food from oven.

How to Time Bake

The oven control allows you to
turn the oven on automatically at

specific times that you set. Foods
that are highly perishable such as
milk, eggs, fish, stuffings, poultry

and pork should not be allowed to

sit out for more than one hour

before or after cooking. Room

temperature promotes the growth

of harmful bacteria. Be sure that

oven light is off because heat from
the bulb will speed harmful

bacteria growth.

NOTE: Before beginning make

sure the oven clock shows the

correct time of day. To set the

clock, first touch the CLOCK pad.

“SET TIME” will show in the

display. Press INCREASE or

DECREASE pad until correct time

of day is displayed.

How to Set Immediate

Start and Automatic Stop

Oven turns on right away, and

cooks for preset length of time.

Step 1 : Position the shelf or
shelves in the oven. If cooking on

two shelves at the same time, place

shelves on alternate shelf supports

and stagger food on them.

Step 2: Close the oven door.

Step 3: Touch the BAKE pad

Step 4: Press the INCREASE or

DECREASE pad until desired
temperature is displayed.

Step 5: Touch the COOK TIME

pad.

Step 6: Press the INCREASE or

DECREASE pad until the desired

length of baking time appears in

the display.

The words “TIMED BAKE ON”
and “COOK TIME” will be
displayed along with the oven
temperature that you set and the
cook time that you entered.

NOTE: Remember, foods that are

left in the oven continue cooking
after controls are off

and bake until specific time.

Eor example: Let’s say it’s 2:00
and dinner time is shortly after
7:00. The recipe suggests 3 hours
baking time at 325°F. Here’s how:

Step 1: Position the shelf or
shelves in the oven. If cooking on

two shelves at the same time,

stagger the pans for best heat

circulation.

Step 4: Press the INCREASE
or DECREASE pad until “’325°”
IS displayed

Step 5: Touch the COOK TIME pad

Step 6: Press the INCREASE pad

until “3:00” appears in the display.
Cook Time of 3 hours now appears
in display.

Step 8: Change Stop Time from

5:00 to 7:00 by pressing the

INCREASE pad until “7:00”
appears in the display. The words
“DELAY TIMED BAKE” appear
on display.

At 4:00, the oven will turn on

automatically. Oven will continue

to cook for the programmed 3 hours

and shut off automatically at 7:00.

NOTE: Foods that are highly
perishable such as milk, eggs, fish,

stuffings, poultry and pork should
not be allowed to sit out for more
than one hour before or after
cooking. Room temperature
promotes the growth of harmful
bacteria.

NOTE: Be sure that oven light is

off because heat from the bulb will

speed harmful bacteria growth.

Step 2: Close the oven door.

Step 3: Touch the BAKE pad.

Step 7: Touch the STOP TIME pad.
“SET STOP TIME” and the

earliest stop time you can set

appear on display. In this example,

“5:00” and “COOK STOP TIME”

appear on display. The control
automatically sets Stop Time by
adding the Cook Time to the time

of day. In this example, the time of

day is 2:00 and the Cook Time is 3
hours. Adding 3 hours to the time

of day equals 5:00,

Baking Guide

1. Aluminum pans conduct heat

quickly. For most conventional
baking, light, shiny finishes
generally give best results beeause
they help prevent overbrowning.
For best results, we reeommend
dull bottom surfaces for cake pans
and pie plates.

2. Dark or non-shiny finishes and

Roasting

NOTE: Oven has controls for

upper oven and lower oven. Be

sure to set the correct control.
Pads on the left side of panel are
for the upper oven. Pads on the
right side of panel are for the
lower oven. The TIMER

ON/OFF, COOK TIME, and
STOP TIME pads can be used
for either oven.

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. When
roasting, it is not necessary to

sear, baste, cover or add water to

your meat.

Roasting is really a baking

procedure used for meats.

Therefore, oven controls are set for

BAKE. (You may hear a slight

clicking sound, indicating the oven
is working properly.) Roasting is
easy; just follow these steps:

Step 1: Check weight of meat, and

place, fat-side-up, on roasting rack

in a shallow pan. (Broiler pan with

rack is a good pan for this.) Line

broiler pan with aluminum foil

when using pan for marinating,

cooking with fruits, cooking

heavily cured meats, or basting

food during cooking. Avoid

spilling these materials on oven
liner or door.

Step 2: Place in oven shelf in A or
B position. No preheating is

necessary.

Step 3: Touch the BAKE pad

Step 4: Press the INCREASE or

DECREASE pad until desired
temperature is displayed.

The word “ON” will be displayed
as the oven heats up. When the
oven reaches the set temperature a
tone will sound.

To change oven temperature
during BAKE cycle, touch BAKE

pad and then INCREASE or

DECREASE pad to set new
temperature.

Step 5: Touch the CLEAR/OFF

pad when roasting is finished and

then remove food from oven.
Step 6: 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 increase, if desired,

remove the roast from oven sooner

(at 5° to 10”F. less than
temperature in the Roasting
Guide.)

NOTE: You may wish to TIME

BAKE, as described in the Baking
section, to turn oven on and off
automatically.

Remember that food will continue
to cook in the hot oven and
therefore should be removed when
the desired internal temperature
has been reached.

For Frozen Roasts

• Frozen roasts of beef, pork, lamb,
etc., can be started without
thawing, but allow 10 to 25

minutes per pound additional time
(10 minutes per pound for roasts

under 5 pounds, more time for

larger roasts).

• Thaw most frozen poultry before
roasting to ensure even doneness.

Some commercial frozen poultry
can be cooked successfully without
thawing. Follow directions given
on package label.

Questions and Answers

Q. Why is my roast crumbling

when I try to carve it?

A. Roasts are easier to slice if

allowed to cool 10 to 20 minutes
after removing from oven. Be sure
to cut across the grain of the meat.

Q. Do I need to preheat my oven
each time I cook a roast or
poultry?

A. It is unnecessary to preheat

your oven.

Q. When bnying a roast, are
there any special tips that would
help me cook it more evenly?

A. Yes. Buy a roast as even in

thickness as possible, or buy
rolled roasts.

Q. Can I seal the sides of my foil
“tent” when roasting a turkey?

A. Sealing the foil will steam

the meat. Leaving it unsealed
allows the air to circulate and
brown the meat.

Roasting with the Probe See Roasting Guide.

Correct Placement of the

Temperature Probe

Oven has a probe in the upper
oven only.

For many foods, especially
roasts and poultry, internal food
temperature is the best test for

doneness. The temperature probe
takes the guesswork out of roasting
by cooking foods to the exact
doneness you want. When the
internal temperature of the food
reaches the temperature you set,
the oven automatically shuts off

The temperature probe has a
skewer-r ike probe at one end and a

plug at the other end that goes into

a receptacle on the oven wall. Use

handles of the probe and plug
when inserting and removing from
meat and wall receptacle. Do not
use tongs to pull on the cable
when removing the probe—they
might damage it. TO AVOID
BREAKING THE PROBE,
MAKE SURE FOOD IS
COMPLETELY DEFROSTED
BEFORE INSERTING.

After preparing meat and placing
it on roasting pan rack, follow these
steps for proper probe placement.

Step 1: Lay the probe on the
outside of the meat along the top
or side and mark with your finger
where the edge of the meat comes
to on the probe. Point should rest
in the center of the thickest meaty
part of the roast.

Step 2: Insert the probe into the
meat up to the point marked off

with your finger. It should not

touch bone, fat or gristle.

Poultry

Insert probe into meatiest part of
inner thigh from below and parallel
to the leg of a whole turkey.

Casseroles or Fish

Insert probe into center of dishes

such as meat loaf or casseroles.
When cooking fish, insert probe
from just above gill into meatiest
area, parallel to backbone.

Ham or Lamb

Insert probe into cut end, meatiest
part of ham or lamb without a
bone. For bone-in ham or lamb,
insert probe into center of lowest
large muscle or joint.

Step 1 : Insert probe into meat.

Step 2: Plug probe into receptacle

on the oven wall. Make sure it’s

pushed all the way in. Close the

oven door.

Step 3: Touch PROBE pad.
Step 4: Press INCREASE

or DECREASE pad to set probe
temperature.

Step 5: Touch BAKE pad.
Step 6: Press INCREASE or

DECREASE pad to set oven

Broiling

NOTE: Oven has controls for
upper oven and lower oven. Be
sure to set the correct control.
Pads on the left side of panel are
for the upper oven. Pads on the
right side of panel are for the
lower oven. The TIMER
ON/OFF, COOK TIME, and
STOP TIME pads can be used

for either oven.

Broiling is cooking food by
intense radiant heat from the upper
broil unit in the oven. You can
broil in upper or lower oven. Most
fish and tender cuts of meat can
be broiled. Follow these steps
to keep spattering and smoking
to a minimum.

Step 1: If meat has fat or gristle
near edge, cut vertical slashes
through both about 2“ apart. If
desired, fat may be triiumed,
leaving layer about 1/8” thick.

Step 2: Place meat on broiler rack
in broiler pan. Always use rack so
fat drips into broiler pan; otherwise

uices may become hot enough to

catch fire.
Step 3: Position shelf on

recommended shelf position as

suggested in Broiling Guide.

Step 4: Leave door open to broil
stop position. The door stays open
by itself, yet the proper tempera-@
is maintained in the oven.

Step 5: Touch the BROIL pad.
NOTE: If BROIL pad does not

work, probe might be connected.
Remove probe.

Step 6: Touch INCREASE pad for
HI broil or touch DECREASE pad
for LO broil.

NOTE: Chicken and ham are
broiled at LO broil in order to cook
food without overbrowning it.

Step 7: Turn food only once
during broiling. Time foods for
first side per Broiling Guide.

Turn food, then use tiiues given for
second side as a guide to preferred
doneness. (Where two thicknesses
and times are given together, use
first times given for thinnest food.)

Step 8: When finished broiling,
touch the CLEAR/OFFpad. Serve
food immediately, and leave pan
outside oven to cool during meal
for easiest cleaning.

Use of Aluminum Foil

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

just like the rack.

Without the slits, the foil will
prevent fat and meat juices from
draining to the broiler pan. The

juices could become hot enough to

catch on fire. If you do not cut the
slits, you are frying, not broiling.

Questions & Answers

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 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
meat with tongs; piercing meat
with a fork also allows juices to

escape. When broiling poultry

or fish, brush each side often
with butter.

Q. Why are my meats not turning
out as brown as they should?

A. In some areas, the power

(voltage) to the oven maybe low.
In these cases, preheat the broil
unit for 10 minutes before placing
broiler pan with food in oven.
Check to see if you are using the
recommended shelf position. Broil
for longest period of time indicated
in the Broiling Guide. Turn food
only once during broiling.

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
cleanup easier.

Broiling Guide

1. Always use broiler pan and rack
that comes with your oven. It is
designed to minimize smoking and
spattering by trapping juices in the
shielded lower part of the pan.

2. Oven door should be open to the
broil stop position for all foods.

3. For steaks and chops, slash fat
evenly around outside edges of meat.

To slash, cut crosswise through
outer fat surface just to the edge of

Care and Cleaning

Proper care and cleaning are
important so your oven will give
you efficient and satisfactory

service. Follow these directions
carefully in caring for your oven
to assure safe and proper
maintenance.

Oven Shelves

Oven shelves may be cleaned with
a mild abrasive cleanser following
manufacturer’s directions. After
cleaning, rinse the shelves with
clean water and dry with a
clean cloth.

To remove heavy, burned-on soil,
soapy metal pads may be used
following manufacturer’s
directions. After scrubbing, wash

with soapy water, rinse and dry.
Oven shelves may be cleaned in

the self-cleaning oven. Note:

Shelves will discolor during the

self-cleaning cycle.

Broiler Pan & Rack

After broiling, remove the broiler
pan from the oven. Remove the
rack from the pan. Carefully pour

out the grease in the pan into a
proper container. Wash and rinse
the pan and rack in hot, soapy
water.

If food has burned on, sprinkle the
rack while hot with detergent and

cover with wet paper towels or a
dish cloth. That way, burned-on

foods will soak loose while the
meal is being served.

Do not store a soiled broiler pan

and rack in the oven. Do not clean

in self-cleaning oven.

Oven Light Bulb

The light bulb is located on the
back wall of the oven. Before
replacing the bulb, disconnect
electric power to the oven at the
main fuse or circuit breaker panel.
Let the bulb cool completely
before removinj: it. Do not touch a
hot bulb with a damp cloth. If you
do, the bulb will break.

The oven lamp (bulb) is covered

with a removable glass cover
which is held in place with a bail

shaped wire. Remove oven door, if

desired, to reach cover easily.

To remove:

• Hold hand under cover so it
doesn’t fall when released. With
fingers of same hand, firmly push
back wire bail until it clears cover.
Lift off cover. DO NOT REMOVE
ANY SCREWS TO REMOVE
COVER.

• Replace bulb with 40-watt home
appliance bulb.

To replace cover:

• Place it into groove of lamp
receptacle. Pull wire bail forward
to center of cover until it snaps
into place. When in place, wire
holds cover firmly. Be certain
wire bail is in depression in center
of cover.

• Connect electric power to oven.

Lift-Off Oven Door

The oven door is removable to
make the interior more accessible.

To remove the door, open it a few
inches to the special stop position

that will hold the door open. Grasp
firmly on each side and lift the
door straight up and off the hinges.

Note: Be careful not to place hands

between the hinge and the oven

door frame as the hinge could snap

back and pinch fingers.
To replace the door, malce sure

the hinges are in the special stop
position. Position the slots in the

bottom of the door squarely over

the hinges. Then lower the door

slowly and evenly over both

hinges at the same time. If hinges

snap back against the oven frame,

pull them back out.

Operating the Self-Cleaning Oven

NOTE: Oven has controls for

upper oven and lower oven. Be

sure to set the correct control.
Pads on the left side of panel are
for the upper oven. Pads on the

right side of panel are for the
lower oven. The TIMER

ON/OFF, COOK TIME, and

STOP TIME pads can be used

for either oven.

Programmed Cleaning Time:

3 hours

Prepare the Oven Before

Setting the Controls

Step 1:

Remove the broiler pan, broiler

rack, all cookware and any

aluminum foil from the oven.
(Oven shelves may be left in the
oven. NOTE: Shelves will
discolor during the self-cleaning
cycle.)

Step 2:

Wipe up heavy soil on oven

bottom. If you use soap, rinse
thoroughly before self-cleaning
to prevent staining.

A. Oven Front Frame
B. Openings in the Door

C. Oven Door Gasket
D. Oven Light
E. Oven Vent Grille

Step 3:

• Clean spatters or soil on the oven
front frame (A), under the front
edge of the oven vent, the door
liner outside the door gasket and
the front edge of the oven cavity

(about 1“ into the oven). Use
detergent and hot water with a

soap-filled steel wool pad, then
rinse well with a vinegar and water
mixture. This will help prevent a
brown residue from forming when

the oven is heated. Buff these areas
with a dry cloth.

• Clean top, sides and outside front

of oven door with soap and water.

Do not use abrasives or oven

cleaners.

Do not let water run down through

openings in the top of the door (B).

To help prevent water from getting

in these slots when cleaning, open

the door as far as it will go.

Clean the door gasket (C) using

a clean sponge to soak the soiled
area with hydrogen peroxide.

Repeated soaking may be needed

depending on the amount of soil.

Frequent cleaning will prevent

excessive soil buildup. Do not rub
the door gasket—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 replace it.

Make sure the oven light bulb
cover (D) is in place.

Step 4:

Close the oven door and make
sure the oven light is off

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

shelf supports with cooking oil

after self-cleaning to make shelves

slide more easily.

Do not use commercial oven

cleaners or oven protectors in
or near the self-cleaning oven.

A combination of any of these
products plus the high clean-cycle
temperature may damage the
porcelain finish of the oven.

Important

The oven door must be closed

and all controls must be set
correctly for the clean cycle to
work properly. To help you
understand how the clean cycle
works, the stages of the cycle

are noted below.

1. Close the oven door

completely.

2. Set the controls.

3. The words “SET TIME

Operating the Self-Cleaning Oven (continued)

Questions and Answers

Q. If my oven clock is not correct,
can I still self-clean my oven?

A. If the clock is not set to the

correct time of day you will not be
able to set a delay clean to end at a
specific time.

Q. Can I use commercial
oven cleaners on any part
of my self-cleaning oven?

A. No cleaners or coatings should
be used around any part of this
oven. If you do use them and
do not wipe the oven absolutely
clean, the residue can scar the
oven surface and damage metal
parts the next time the oven is
automatically cleaned.

Q. Can I clean the Woven Gasket
around the oven door?

A. Yes, but carefully, and only

with a clean sponge to soak the
soiled area with hydrogen
peroxide. See section on Preparing
the Oven for Self-Clean.

Q. What should I do if excessive
smoking occurs during cleaning?

A. This is caused by excessive soil.

Press the CLEAR/OFF pad. Open
windows to rid room of smoke.
Wait until the oven has cooled
(about 20-30 minutes). Wipe up
the excess soil and reset the clean
cycle. Don’t wait too long between
cleanings.

Q. Can I clean both ovens at the

same time?
A. No. The control only allows one

oven to clean at a time.

Q. Is the “crackling” sound I

hear during cleaning normal?
A. Yes. This is the sound of the

metal heating and cooling during
both the cooking and cleaning
functions.

Q. Should there be any odor

during the cleaning?
A. Yes, there maybe a slight odor

during the first few cleanings.
Failure to wipe out excessive soil
might also cause a strong odor
when cleaning.

Q. What causes the hair-like
lines on the enameled surface

of my oven?
A. This is a nonual condition,

resulting from heating and cooling
during cleaning. These lines do not
affect how your oven performs.

Q. Why do I have ash left in my
oven after cleaning?

A. Some types of soil will leave

a deposit which is ash. It can be
removed with a damp sponge
or cloth.

Q. My oven shelves do not slide
easily. What is the matter?

A. After many cleanings, oven

shelves may become so clean they
do not slide easily. If you wish
shelves to slide more easily,
dampen fingers with a small
amount of cooking oil and rub
lightly over sides of shelf where
they contact shelf supports.

Q. My oven shelves have become
gray after the self-clean cycle. Is
this normal?

A. Yes. After the self-clean cycle,

the shelves may lose some luster
and discolor to a deep gray color.

Adjusting Oven Thermostat

When cooking a food for the first
time in your oven, use time given
on recipes as a guide. Oven
thermostats, over a period of years,
may “drift” from the factory
setting and differences in timing
between an old and a new oven of

5 to 10 minutes are not unusual.

You may be inclined to think that
the new oven is not performing
correctly. However your new oven
has been set correctly at the factory
and is more apt to be accurate than
the oven it replaced.

If you think the oven should be
hotter or cooler, you can adjust it
yourself. To decide how much to
change the temperature, set the
oven temperature 25 °F. higher or
lower than the temperature in your
recipe, then bake. The results of
this “test” should give you an idea
of how much the temperature
should be changed.

To adjust the temperature, follow
the steps below. Note: The

thermostats in the upper and lower
ovens need to be adjusted separately.

1. Touch BAKE pad.

2. Select an oven temperature
between 500°F. and 550°F.

3. Immediately, before “ON”
appears, press and hold the
BAKE pad for about 4 seconds.
The time display will change to the
oven adjustment display.

4. The oven temperature can be
adjusted up to (-h) 35°F. hotter or

(-j35“F. cooler. Use the INCREASE

or DECREASE pads to select the

desired change in the red display.

5. When you have made the

adjustment, press the CLEAR/OFF
pad to go back to the time of day
display. Use your oven as you
would normally.

NOTE: This adjustment will not
affect Broil or Clean temperatures.
It will be retained in memory after ­a power failure.
