Built-In Electric

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.

IMPORTANT: The health of some birds is extremely sensitive to the fumes given

off during the self-cleaning cycle of any oven. Move birds to another well ventilated room.

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.

■ Large scratches or impacts to glass doors

can lead to broken or shattered glass.

■ Do not store flammable materials in

an 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.

■ 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.

■ 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 rack in the desired position

while the oven is cool. If racks 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.

■ 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: The inside surface of the oven

may be hot when the door is opened.

WARNING!

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

■ Pulling out the rack 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 any broiler pan

out of the oven and clean it. Leftover
grease in a broiler pan can catch fire
next time you use the pan.

■ Clean only parts listed in this Owner’s

Manual.

■ Do not use aluminum foil to line

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

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.

COOK MEAT AND POULTRY THOROUGHLY…

■ 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

shiny, silver-colored oven racks (on some
models) and all 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.

Using the oven.

To avoid possible burns, place the racks in the desired position before you turn the oven on.

Before you begin…

The racks have stop-locks, so that when
placed correctly on the supports, they will
stop before coming completely out, and
will not tilt.

When placing and removing cookware,
pull the rack out to the bump on the
rack support.

To remove a rack, pull it toward you,
tilt the front end up and pull it out.

To replace, place the end of the rack
(stop-locks) on the support, tilt up the
front and push the rack in.

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.

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 racks, stagger the pans so one
is not directly above the other, and leave
approximately 11⁄2″ between pans, from
the front, back and sides of the wall.

Aluminum Foil

Do not use aluminum foil on the bottom
of the oven.

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