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

4PORTÂNT 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 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

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.

• 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.

^ Do not store flammable materials in an oven.

Teach chOdren not to play with the controls

or any other part of 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 tlte

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

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 bums 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 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.

' Do not use water on grease fires.

Smother fire or flame or use a multi purpose 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.

(continued next page)

Ifl

(continued)

• Do not touch the heating elements or the interior surface of the oven. These surfaces may

be hot enough to bum 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 metal trim parts 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°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 the oven when opening the oven door. Hot air or steam which escapes can

cause burns to hands, face and/or eyes.

• Do not use your oven to dry newspapers.

If overheated, they can catch fire.

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

• Do not use oven for storage area. Items

stored in an oven can ignite.

• 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.

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

Self-Cleaning Oven

• Do not clean the oven door gasket. The door

gasket is essential for a good seal. Care should be taken not to mb, 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-clea cycle is used.

• 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 the pot holder

contact the heating elements in the oven.

' Never leave the oven door open when you are

not watching the oven.

’ Pulling out the shelf to the shelf stop is a

convenience in lifting heavy foods. It is also a precaution against bums from touching the hot surfaces of the door or the oven walls.

When using cooking or roasting bags in

the oven, follow the manufacturer’s directions.

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

• Before self-cleaning the oven, remove the broiler

pan and other cookware.

• Do not use aluminum foil to line oven bottoms, except as suggested in guide. Improper

installation of aluminum foil may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.

• 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.

USING YOUR OVEN

Before Using the Ov^n

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 informatiop 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.

Oven Light-DoBhle pf bh

Both lights come on when the upper oven door is opened or when the control panel light switch is turned on.

NOTE: The bottom oven does not have its own light switch. It operates by opening the upper oven door or by using the control panel lighj switch.

NOTE:

• A fan may automatically turn on and off to cool internal parts. This is normal, and the fan may

continue to run even after the oven is turned off.

• 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. To speed the process, set a self-clean cycle for a minimum of 3 hours. See the Operating the Self-Cleaning Oven

section.

Oven Light-Single pv«H

The light comes on when the oven door is opened or when the control panel switch is turned on.

Page 9

Oven 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 the shelf

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 it all the way back.

Bump

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.

ftl

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.

Page 10

BAKING

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 to become familiar with your new oven’s performance.

How to Set the Oven for Baking

Ovens Controlled with Touch Pads

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

1. Press the BAKE pad.

2. Press the INCREASE or DECREASE pad until the desired temperature is displayed.

The word “ON” and “100°” will be displayed. As the oven heats up, the display will show the changing temperature. When the oven reaches the temperature you set, a tone will sound.

3. Press the CLEAR/OFF pad when baking is finished and then remove the food from the oven.

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.

To change the oven temperature during BAKE

cycle, press the BAKE pad and then the INCREASE or DECREASE pad to get the new temperature.

If you think an adjustment is necessary, see the Adjus>^ the Oven Thermostat section. It gives easy Do It

Yourself instructions on how to adjust the thermostat.

NOTE: When the oven gets hot, the top and outside surfaces of the oven get hot too.

Ovens Controlled with Knobs (on some models)

OVEN TEMP OVEN SET

To avoid possible burns, place shelves in the correct

position before you turn the oven on. The LOWER OVEN CONTROL knobs are located

on the left side of the control panel. The lower oven can be used while the upper oven is

on. The lower oven has a standard porcelain finish. See the Care and Cleaning section of this guide.

TO BAKE OR ROAST:

1. Turn the OVEN SET knob to BAKE.

2. Turn the OVEN TEMP knob to desired temperature.

3. When finished, turn the OVEN SET knob to OFF.

TO BROIL:

1. Turn both the OVEN SET and OVEN TEMP knob to BROIL.

2. When finished, turn the OVEN SET knob to OFF.

Oven Shelves

Arrange the oven shelf or shelves in the desired locations while the oven is cool. The correct shelf position depends on the kind

of food and the browning desired. As a general rule, place most foods in the middle of the oven, on either shelf positions B or C. See the chart for suggested shelf positions.

''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.

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.

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.

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 r/2-inch space between pans as well 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.

Baking Guides

vVhen 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.

'S3

ero

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. ^continued next page j

Page 12

BAKING

(continued)

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 may be

used to catch a

spillover by placing it on a lower shelf several inches below

the food.

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.

Examples of Immediate Start (oven turns on now and you set it to turn off automatically) and Delay Start and Stop (setting the oven to turn op automatically at a later time and turn off at a preset Stop Time) will be described.

Don’t Peek

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.

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 words “TIME BAKE” and “COOK TIME” will be displayed along with the oven temperature that you set and the Cook Time that you entered.

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 CLEAR/OFF 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, stuffings, 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.

3. Press the STOP TIME pad. “STOP TIME” and the earliest Stop Time you

can set appear in the display.

The control automatically sets the Stop Time by adding the Cook Time to the time of day. For 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.

, Change the Stop Time by pressing the

INCREASE pad until the desired Stop Time appears in the display.

5. Press the BAKE pad.

6. Press the INCREASE or DECREASE pad until the desired temperature is displayed.

The oven will turn on 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. The oven will continue to cook for the programmed time and shut off automatically.

At the end of Timed Bake, the display

will show “0HR:00 COOK TIME” and the oven will turn off. The end of cycle tone will sound.

7. Press the CLEAR/OFF 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:

• The low temperature zone of this oven (between 150°F. and 200°F.) is available to keep hot cooked

foods warm. Foods kept in the oven longer than two hours at these low temperatures may spoil.

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

»V

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

1. Place the shelf in A or B position. No preheating is necessary.

2. Check the weight of the meat. Place it fat side up (or for poultry

breast-side-up) on roasting rack in a shallow pan. The

melting fat will baste the meat. Select a pan as close to the size of the meat as po.ssible. (The broiler pan with rack is a good pan for this.)

3. Press the BAKE pad.

4. Press the INCREASE or DECREASE pad until the desired temperature is displayed.

Most meats continue to cook slightly while standing, after being removed from the oven. The standing time recommended for roasts is 10 to 20 minutes. This allows roasts to firm up and makes them easier to

carve. The internal temperature will rise about 5° to

10°F.; to compensate for the 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.

The oven will start automatically. The word “ON” and “100°” will be displayed. As the oven heats up, the display will show the changing temperature.

When the oven reaches the temperature you set, a tone will sound.

5. Press the CLEAR/OEF pad when

roasting is finished and then remove the food from the oven.

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.

To change the oven temperature during the

roasting cycle, press the BAKE pad and then

the INCREASE or DECREASE pad to get the new temperature.

Use of Aluminum Foil

You can use aluminum foil to line the broiler pan. This makes clean-up easier when using the pan for

marinating, cooking with fruits, cooking heavily cured meats or basting food during cooking. Press the foil tightly around the inside of the pan.

ROASTING

Questions and Answers

Q. Is it necessary to check for doneness with

a meat thermometer?

A. Checking die finished internal temperature at

the completion of cooking time is recommended. Temperatures are shown in the Roasting Guide. For roasts over 8 pounds, check with thermometer at half hour intervals after half the cooking time has passed.

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 them from the oven. Be sure to cut across the grain of the meat.

ROASTING GUIDE

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).

(continued)

Q. Do I need to preheat my oven each time I cook

a roast or poultry?

A. It is not necessary to preheat your oven.

Q. When buying 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.

Make sure poultry is thawed before roasting. Unthawed poultry often does not cook evenly. Some commercial frozen poultry can be cooked successfully without thawing. Follow the directions given on the package label.

BROILING

"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 may be 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 oven is connected to

208 volts, you may wish to use a higher position.

Ovens Controlled with Touch Pads

1. Press the BROIL pad.

2. Press the INCREASE pad once for LO Broil or twice for HI Broil. To change from HI Broil to LO Broil, press the BROIL pad then press the DECREASE pad once.

3. When broiling is finished, press the CLEAR/OFE pad. Serve the food immediately, and leave the pan outside the oven to cool during the meal for easiest cleaning.

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 preferred 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.

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.

O P

QTQ

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 oven may

be low. In these cases, preheat the broil element for

10 minutes before placing broiler pan with food in the 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.

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.

When arranging food on the pan, do not let fatty edges hang over the sides because the dripping fat

will soil the oven.

The broiler does not need to be preheated. However, for very thin foods, or to increase browning, preheat if desired.

' Use LO Broil to cook foods such as poultry or thick

pork chops thoroughly without over-browning them.

' Frozen steaks can be broiled by positioning the oven

OPERATING THE SELF-CLEANING OVEN

Normal Cleaning Time: 3 hours

"»n models with double ovens, only the upper oven is self-cleaning.

^he bottom oven is standard clean. See the Porcelain Oven Interior section.

Single oven models are self-cleaning.

Before a 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.

. Oven

gasket gasket

light

3. Clean spatters or soil on the oven front frame and the oven door outside the gasket with a dampened cloth. The oven front frame and the oven door

outside the gasket do not get cleaned by the self clean cycle. On these areas, use detergent and hot water or a soap-filled steel wool pad. Rinse well with a vinegar and water solution. This will help prevent a brown residue from forming when the oven is heated. Buff these areas with a dry cloth. Do not clean the gasket.

Do not use abrasives or oven cleaners. Clean the outside front of the oven door with soap and water. Also use soap and water to clean under the oven vent grille.

Make sure the oven light bulb cover is in place.

Do not rub or clean 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 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 bum 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.

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

Questions and Answers

Q. If my oven clock is not set to the correct time

of day, 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 thoroughly rinse the oven with water, wiping it absolutely clean afterward, the residue can scar the oven surface and damage metal parts the next time the oven is automatically cleaned.

Q. What should I do if excessive smoking occurs

during cleaning?

A. This is caused by excessive soil. Turn the oven off.

Open the windows to rid the room of smoke. Wait until the oven has cooled and the word “LOCK” is off in the display. Wipe up the excess soil and reset the clean cycle.

Q. Is the “crackling” or “popping” 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.

(continued)

Q. Should there be any odor during the cleaning?

A. Yes, there will be an 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 normal 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, the oven shelves will lose

their luster and become hard to slide. To make the

shelves slide more easily, wipe the shelf supports with cooking oil.

Q. My oven shelves have become gray after the

self-clean cycle. Is this normal?

A. Yes. After the self-clean cycle, the shelves will

lose some luster and discolor to a deep gray color.

CARE AND CLEANING

Proper care and cleaning are important so your oven will give you efficient and satisfactory service. Follow thèse directions carefully in caring for your oven to assure safe and proper maintenance.

BE SURE ELECTRICAL POWER IS OFF BEFORE CLEANING ANY PART OF THE OVEN.

Oven Heating Elements

Do not clean the bake element or the broil element.

Any soil will bum off when the elements are heated. The bake element can be lifted gently to clean the

oven floor. If spillovers, residue or ash accumulate

around the bake element gently wipe around the

element with warm water.

CARE AND CLEANING

Lift-Off Oven Door (single oven or upper oven only)

The oven door is removable,

but it is heavy. You may need help removing and replacing the door. Do not lift the door by the handle. This can cause the glass to break or can cause damage to the door.

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.

• While working in the oven area, cover the hinges with towels or empty paper towel rolls to prevent pinched fingers and chipping the porcelain enamel

on the frame.

To replace the door, make 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.

TO CLEAN THE DOOR: Inside of the door:

• Because the area inside the gasket is cleaned during

the self clean cycle, you do not need to clean this by hand. Any soap left on the liner causes additional stains when the oven is heated.

(continued)

• The area outside the gasket can be cleaned with a soap-filled scouring pad.

• Do not rub or clean 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 have it replaced.

NOTE: The gasket is designed with a gap at the bottom to allow for proper air circulation.

Inside Gasket

Gasket

Outside Gasket

Outside of the door:

• Use soap and water to thoroughly clean the top, sides and front of the oven door. Rinse well. You may also use a glass cleaner to clean the glass on 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 oven only-on some models)

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 o. harsh abrasives on the outside of the door.

Page 25

^Orcelain Oven Interior (lower oven only-on some models)

With proper care, the porcelain enamel finish on the inside of the oven—top, bottom, sides, back and inside of the door— will stay new-looking for years.

Let the oven cool before cleaning. We recommend that

you wear rubber gloves when cleaning the oven. 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.

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 bumed-on grease and food.

Glass Window

To clean the outside of the oven window, use a glass

.eaner. 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.

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.

Painted Surfaces

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.

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 replacing 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.
