How to Remove Packaging Tape

To assure no damage is done to the finish of the product, the safest way to remove adhesive left from packaging tape on new appliances is an application of a household liquid dishwashing detergent, mineral oil or cooking oil. Apply with a soft cloth and allow to soak. Wipe dry and then apply an appliance polish to thoroughly clean and protect the surface.

NOTE: The plastic tape must be removed from the chrome trim on oven parts. It cannot be removed if it is baked on.

Write down the model and serial numbers.

You’ll find them on a label on the front of the oven behind the oven door.

These numbers are also on the Consumer Product Ownership Registration Card that came with your oven. Before sending in this card, please write these numbers here:

Use these numbers in any correspondence or service calls concerning your oven.

If you received a damaged oven…

Immediately contact the dealer (or builder) that sold you the oven.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read all instructions before using this appliance.

When using electrical appliances, basic

safety precautions should be followed, including the following:

Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this guide.

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 Instructions.

Do not attempt to repair or replace any part of your oven unless it is specifically recommended in this guide. 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 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.

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.

Teach children not to play with the controls or any other part of the oven.

Never leave the oven door open when you are not watching the oven.

Always keep combustible wall coverings, curtains or drapes a safe distance from your oven.

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 burns.

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

• 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. Such cloths can catch fire on a hot heating element.

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.

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

Do not leave paper products, cooking utensils or food in the oven when not in use.

Do not store flammable materials in the oven.

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

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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

(continued)

• Do not use water on grease fires.

Smother fire or flame or use a multipurpose dry chemical or foam-type fire extinguisher.

Flame in the oven can be smothered completely by closing the oven door and turning the oven off or by using a multi-purpose 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 the oven vent openings and surfaces near the openings, crevices around the oven door and the edges of the door window and metal trim above the 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°F. 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 the oven when opening the oven door. The 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 duct unobstructed.

Keep the oven free from grease buildup.

Place the oven shelf in the desired position while the oven is cool. If the shelves must be handled when hot, do not let pot holder contact heating elements.

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.

When using cooking or roasting bags in the oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.

Do not use your oven to dry newspapers.

If overheated, they can catch fire.

Do not use the oven for a storage area. Items stored in an oven can ignite.

Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottom, except as suggested in this guide. Improper installation of aluminum foil may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.

Never try to move a pan of hot fat, especially a deep fat fryer. Wait until the fat is cool.

Never leave jars or cans of fat drippings in or near your oven.

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.

To Set the Minute Timer

The minute timer has been combined with the oven clock. Use it to time all your precise cooking operations. You will recognize the minute timer as the pointer which is different in color and shape than the clock hands.

To set the minute timer, turn the center knob counterclockwise, without pushing in, until the pointer reaches the number of minutes you wish to time. (Minutes are marked, up to 60, in the center ring on the clock.)

At the end of the set time, a buzzer sounds to tell you time is up. Turn the knob, without pushing in, until the pointer reaches OFF and the buzzer stops.

USING YOUR OVEN

Before Using Your Oven

1.Look at the controls. Be sure you understand how to set them properly.

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.

Oven Controls

The controls for your oven are marked OVEN TEMP and OVEN SET.

The OVEN SET knob has settings for BAKE, BROIL and OFF. When you turn to the desired setting, the proper heating elements are activated for that operation.

The OVEN TEMP knob maintains the temperature you set for normal oven operation as well as for broiling. Turn to set temperatures.

A light between the OVEN TEMP and the OVEN SET knobs glows until the oven reaches your selected temperature, then goes off and on with the oven element(s) during cooking.

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

NOTE: You may notice a “burning” or “oily” smell the first few times you turn your oven on. This is normal in a new oven and will disappear in a short time.
