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 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.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Safety Instructions Operating Instructions Care and Cleaning Troubleshooting Tips Customer Service

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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.

WARNING!

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

■ Do not store flammable materials in an

oven.

Safety InstructionsOperating InstructionsCare and CleaningTroubleshooting TipsCustomer Service

■

CAUTION:

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:

may be hot when the door is opened.

Items of interest to children

The inside surface of the oven

■ 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 shelf in the desired position

while the oven is cool. If shelves 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 shelf 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 Use and

Care 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…

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.

SELF-CLEANING OVEN

Safety Instructions Operating Instructions Care and Cleaning Troubleshooting Tips Customer Service

■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.

Read and follow this Safety Information carefully.

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.

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.

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 shelves, stagger the pans so one is not directly above the other, and leave approximately 11⁄ the front, back and sides of the wall.

Never entirely cover a shelf 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 shelf several inches below the food.

On double oven models, you can use timed baking in one oven while using self-clean in the other; you can also use timed baking in both ovens at the same time.

NOTE: Foods that spoil easily–such as milk, eggs, fish, stuffings, poultry and pork–should not be allowed to sit for more than 1 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.

Using the probe.

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.

Safety InstructionsOperating InstructionsCare and CleaningTroubleshooting TipsCustomer Service

The temperature probe has a skewer-like probe at one end and a plug at the other end that goes into the outlet in the oven.

NOTE: Double oven models have a probe in the upper oven only.

Use of probes other than the one provided with this product may result in damage to the probe.

Use the handles of the probe and plug when inserting and removing them from the meat and outlet.

■

To avoid damaging your probe, do not use tongs to pull on the cable when removing it.

■

To avoid breaking the probe, make sure food is completely defrosted before inserting.

After preparing the meat and placing it on a trivet or on the broiler pan grid, follow these directions for proper probe placement.

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. The point should rest in the center of the thickest meaty part of the roast.

Insert the probe completely into the meat. It should not touch the bone, fat or gristle.

For roasts with no bone, insert the probe into the meatiest part of the roast. For bone-in ham or lamb, insert the probe into the center of the lowest large muscle or joint.

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

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

Safety Instructions Operating Instructions Care and Cleaning Troubleshooting Tips Customer Service

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. (appearance may vary)

To help you understand the difference between convection bake and roast and traditional bake and roast, here are some general guidelines.

Convection Bake

■

Ideal for evenly browned baked foods cooked on multiple shelves.

■

Good for large quantities of baked foods.

■

Good results with cookies, biscuits, muffins, brownies, cupcakes, cream puffs, sweet rolls, angel food cake and bread.

Heat comes from the heating element in the rear of the oven. The convection fan circulates the heated air evenly over and around the food. Preheating is not necessary with foods having a bake time of over 15 minutes.

Convection Roast

■

Good for large tender cuts of meat, uncovered.

Heat comes from the top heating element. 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. Using the roasting rack provided, heated air will be circulated over, under and around the food being roasted. The heated air seals in juices quickly for a moist and tender product while, at the same time, creating a rich golden brown exterior.

Roasts or poultry should be cooked on a shelf (on 27” models use the offset shelf) in the lowest shelf position (A).

When you are convection roasting it is important that you use the broiler pan and grid and the special roasting rack for best convection roasting results. The pan is used to catch grease spills and the grid is used to prevent grease spatters.

Roasting rack

Post

Grid

Broiler pan

Offset shelf (27″ models only)

Place the meat on the special roasting rack. The rack holds the meat. The rack allows the heated air to circulate under the meat and increase browning on the underside of the meat or poultry.

■Place the shelf (on 27″ models use

the offset shelf) in the lowest shelf position (A).

■Place the grid on the broiler pan and

put the roasting rack over them making sure the posts on the roasting rack fit into the holes in the broiler pan.

CAUTION: When you are using the offset shelf (on 27” models) in the lowest position (A), you will need to use caution when pulling the shelf out. We recommend that you pull the shelf out several inches and then, using two pot holders, pull the shelf out by holding the sides of it. The offset shelf is low and you could be burned if you place your hand in the middle of the shelf and pull all the way out. Be very careful not to burn your hand on the door when using a shelf in the lowest position (A).

Adapting Recipes…

You can use your favorite recipes in the convection oven.

When baking, reduce baking temperature by 25°F.

No need to preheat when cooking longer than 15 minutes.

■

For more information on adapting recipes, see the Convection Cookbook.

■

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.

Cookware for Convection Cooking

Safety InstructionsOperating InstructionsCare and CleaningTroubleshooting TipsCustomer Service

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 ovens can be used in convection ovens. Plastic cookware that is heat-resistant to temperatures of 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.

When baking cookies, you will get the best results if you use a flat cookie sheet instead of a pan with low sides.

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.

Multi-Shelf Baking

When convection baking with only 1 shelf, follow the shelf positions recommended in the Using the oven section.

Because heated air is circulated evenly throughout the oven, foods can be baked with excellent results using multiple shelves.

Multi-shelf 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-shelf baking.

30” Ovens

When baking on 3 shelves, place one shelf in the bottom (A) position, one on the third (C) position and one in the 5th (E) position.

27” Ovens

When baking on 3 shelves, divide the oven into thirds by placing the offset shelf in the third (C) shelf position and the straight shelves in first (A) and fourth (D) shelf positions.

For two-shelf baking, place the offset shelf in the bottom (A) shelf position. Place the straight shelf in the third (C) shelf position.

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 affect 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.

Stainless Steel

Clean with warm sudsy water, a stainless steel cleaner such as Kleen King®, or an all-purpose liquid or spray cleaner. Always scrub in the direction of the grain.

(on some models)

Oven Heating Elements

Do not clean the broil element. Any soil will burn off when the element is heated.

The bake element is not exposed and is under the removable oven floor. If spillovers, residue or ash accumulate on the removable oven floor, wipe up before self-cleaning.

Rinse thoroughly with a sponge or cloth and clean water. Dry with a soft, clean cloth.

Do not use abrasive cleaners or a soap-filled steel wool pad, they will scratch the surface.

To clean the oven floor, take out the removable floor and gently lift the bake element. Clean with warm soapy water. Always replace the removable floor before next use.
